Deliverables Schedule………………………………………………………………….13 Hazmat/Hazwaste Regulations…………………………………………………………14 Emergency Response Plan………………………………………………………………18

1 Introduction

The 380TH Air Expeditionary Wing (AEW) has a requirement to inspect the fuel lines leading from the fuel storage facility to Tango Ramp. The existing infrastructure is comprised of a continuous loop of hydrants that supply aircraft at various points on the ramp. They hydrant system involves two pipelines that include dual-supply and return lines and a single line that loops through the aircraft supply points. Overall, the system is 4 km long with pipes that measure 300mm in diameter. The pipes are of stainless-steel construction.

1.1 Scope

The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, vehicles, supervision, and any other items and services necessary to perform the pipeline inspections as outlined in this PWS. Specifically, the contractor will be required to perform general inspections of four (4) pumps at Tank 1 and an additional four (4) pumps at Tank 2. Due to limited information available on the transfer line system, the contractor will also be required to run an inspection pig the line to ensure that the geometric pig can pass through the line. After the contractor runs the inspection pig through the system, the contractor shall perform a geometric survey as outlined in this performance work statement (PWS). Finally, the contractor shall provide reports/surveys to document their findings as a result of the inspection of the pumps at Tank 1 and Tank 2 and the geometric survey.

Table 1 Spill Response and Cleanup/Disposal Guidance for Various Spill Volumes

Table 1 - Spill Response Guidance and Cleanup / Disposal Guidance for Various Spill Volumes

Small Spills less than 10 gallons Use internal resources and available spill supplies to collect spilled fluids.

Containerize contaminated soil and absorbent material in drums/ Deliver containerized soil and cleanup wastes to the hazardous waste operations yard, Bldg. 2180. .

Spill in excess of 10 gallons but less than 110 gallons cleanup wastes to the hazardous waste operations yard. Notify Fire Protection Services to ensure area is “Fire Safe,” and contact Base Environmental regarding cleanup requirements.

Spills in excess of 110 gallons Immediately notify the Fire Department. Completion of a Spill Report Form is required.

Notification of AFCENT is required for spills in excess of 110 gallons.

Same as above except that notification to AFCENT A7 is required. ECES CC is responsible for accomplishing the notification, with technical guidance from CE Environmental

Bulk Fuel Tank failure or related release up to 6,000 gallons

as required to contain the spill. Use mobile tanks, bowsers, or other portable tanks for storage of recovered product. Use absorbent pads and socks to contain spill and prevent impacts to surface water, sewer manholes, and storm water inlets.

Emergency Action Response Plan

GENERAL SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURES:

Stop the flow of fuel or hazardous material by sealing the breach in the line or tank, shutting off the pump, stopping the fuel transfer pump, closing the valve, plugging the hole or breach, or enacting other physical methods. For quick reference, see Exhibit 1 on the following page.

Dike, Divert, or Dam or otherwise contain the spill. Stop the fuel spill from spreading by using available tools to create earth berms, or deploy absorbent materials, socks, gradual absorbent materials. Use covers or physical barriers to block storm drain inlets. For large spills, request heavy equipment to create earthen dams to prevent fuel from reaching waterways.

Cordon off the area and eliminate ignition sources. This includes prohibiting smoking or open flames, limiting vehicular access and consider using non-sparking tools and equipment. Eliminate static electricity sources by grounding and bonding all equipment, tools, and personnel.

Conduct notification: Notify Chain of Command, Fire Protection Services, and Base Environmental for major “reportable” spills.

Assess the situation and develop a cleanup plan. Carefully plan, assemble equipment and materials, and implement cleanup of the spilled material. Coordinate with Occupational (Wing) Safety regarding safety procedures and ensure oversight from Bioenvironmental Engineering is provided regarding selection and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and exposure monitoring.

Free Product Recovery and Storage Procedures
