2.0 Requirements

2.1 General Requirements.

2.1.1 The Contractor, as an independent contractor and not an agent of the United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Western Regional Research Center (ARS WRRC) shall, on an as required basis, supply the necessary personnel, material and all other things necessary for or incident to the performance of the assigned task.

2.1.2 All work performed by the contractor shall comply with all applicable Federal, state and local laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, those promulgated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, California Title 22 and applicable Department of Transportation regulations.

2.1.3 The ARS WRRC affirms that all hazardous property placed for disposal on task orders issued under this contract will be accompanied by documentation and markings to properly identify the waste if available. The exception may be in the case of wastes generated from broken or leaking containers, or unidentified containers where it may be necessary to determine whether such wastes and cleanup materials exhibit the characteristics of hazardous wastes as defined by Federal or state regulations. In these instances, the contractor will provide for any additional testing and/or analysis required for characterization, transportation, treatment, recycling, or disposal of the hazardous or toxic waste.

2.2 Specific requirements

2.2.1 The contractor will provide all services necessary for the final treatment/disposal of the hazardous and universal wastes listed in the schedule in accordance with all local, state, and federal laws, and regulations, and the terms and conditions of this contract.

2.2.2 Mandatory recycling

ARS is implementing an affirmative program to promote cost-effective waste reduction and recycling of materials generated in its operations and facilities. Recycling and reuse of materials is preferable to incineration and/or land filling. Thus the contractor will have recoverable materials recycled when possible.

Recyclable Materials May Include But Not Limited To:

1. Spent solvents

2. Antifreeze

3. Batteries

4. Paints

5. Mercury containing devices

6. Lead (solid)

Complete compliance with these regulations shall include, but not be limited to, ensuring that emergency response information is carried on transport vehicles and maintained at facilities where hazardous materials are received, stored, or handled during transportation. Shipping papers will contain an emergency response telephone number supplied by the disposal contractor which is monitored 24 hours a day in order to provide immediate, detailed emergency information to personnel reacting to emergencies.

Technical names will be included in the descriptions of materials reflected on shipping papers by "not otherwise specified" (n.o.s.) descriptions. Definitions of the terms used in this clause are those used in 49 CFR 100-199. Contractors must ensure that off-site shipments of hazardous waste are labeled, marked, and placarded according to the U.S.

DOT requirements. Contractor remains responsible for proper management of waste even after it leaves Agricultural Research Service Property. This includes responsibility for any spill while in transit.

The Contractor shall provide obtain all state hauling permit numbers where appropriate.

The applicable state hauling permit numbers must be provided for the state(s) where the pick-up sites are located, the state(s) where the interim storage facilities are located as listed in their TSDF plan and the state(s) where the disposal facilities are located as listed in the TSDF plan.

2.2.4 The transporters approved for use under this contract are only approved subject to all services being performed in accordance with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations and the transporter's permit.

2.2.5 Spill Responsibility

2.2.5.1 The contractor is solely responsible for any and all spills or leaks and subsequent clean ups that may be required during the performance of this contract which occur as a result of or are contributed to by the actions of its agents, employees, or subcontractors.

The contractor agrees to clean up such spills or leaks to the satisfaction of ARS and in a manner that complies with applicable Federal, state, and local laws and regulations. The clean up shall be at no cost to ARS.

2.2.5.2 The contractor shall report all such spills or leaks, regardless of their quantity, to ARS. A written follow-up report shall be submitted to ARS no later than 24 hours after the initial telephonic report. The written report shall be in narrative form and as a minimum include the following:

1. Description of the item spilled (including identity, quantity, manifest no., etc).

2. Whether amount spilled is EPA/state reportable, and if so whether it was reported, and to whom.

3. Exact time and location of spill including a description of the area involved.

4. Containment procedures initiated.

5. Summary of any communications contractor has with press, state officials, or

Postal Service officials.

6. Description of clean-up procedures employed or to be employed at the site including final disposition and disposal location of spill residue.

2.2.6 Safety

This includes ensuring ARS hazardous waste is sent to licensed, permitted, and approved disposal sites.

2.2.8 Definition of Final Treatment/Disposal

2.2.8.1 For purposes of this contract, final treatment/disposal means either: treatment so that such wastes no longer meet the definition of a hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR 261; or treatment of a waste by a RCRA handling method specified in 40 CFR Parts 264/265 appendix 1, Table 2, paragraph 2. Waste handling costs that describe methods of storage do not meet the definition of final treatment nor final disposal under this contract. Interim treatment of the waste such that the waste still meets the definition of a hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR 261 does not meet the definition of final treatment under this contract. Final disposal means disposal of a waste by a RCRA handling method specified in 40 CFR, parts 264/265, appendix 1, table 2, paragraph 3. All facilities used for interim treatment, final treatment or final disposal of items on this contract shall have as a minimum, an EPA/state approved interim status permit showing

EPA hazardous waste numbers described in 40 CFR 261, subparts c and d, for each waste the facility is permitted to handle.

2.2.8.2 Mere acceptance of the hazardous waste at a properly permitted treatment, storage, or disposal facility (TSDF) does not meet the definition of final treatment nor final disposal under this contract. It is the contractor's responsibility to obtain all necessary documentation to prove that the final treatment or final disposal of all items (as defined in paragraph above) has been accomplished. This documentation shall be attached to the certificate of disposal and submitted with, or prior to, the invoices.
