Kirtland AFB Checklist of Environmental Requirements for Proposed Project

Toxics POC: Mr. Sumner Wells @ 846-2102

Tx1

Asbestos: Due to the age of the building, asbestos-containing material (ACM) may be present. NO RENOVATION/DEMOLITION SHALL BEGIN PRIOR TO CE APPROVAL OF AF FORM 332 AND ASBESTOS SAMPLING, AS REQUIRED. If suspected ACM is encountered and will be disturbed, then asbestos abatement of the area to be renovated must be completed prior to starting the proposed work on the building. NESHAP Notification to the Albuquerque Environmental Health Department Air Quality Division (AEHD AQD) in accordance with

20.11.20.22 NMAC is required for ACM disturbance. Additional guidance and forms can be found at the City of Albuquerque’s website:

https://www.cabq.gov/airquality/stay-healthy/asbestos. All asbestos waste leaving the installation must be accompanied by a signed manifest. Civil Engineering is the only authorized manifest signatory. Prior to hauling asbestos waste, contact your CE project manager or Toxics Program POC for direction.

Tx2 Lead Based Paint: Due to the age of the building, LBP may be present; files are available for review. Contact Toxics Program POC to coordinate access to files. If suspected LBP is encountered and will be disturbed, LBP sampling should be performed by the contractor with abatement as necessary prior to commencing the proposed work on the building. Coordinate with Toxics Program POC.

Tx3

Silica Dust Generated by Masonry, Concrete and/or Asphalt Work: The Silica Dust standard (29 CFR 1926.1153) requires employers limit worker exposures to respirable crystalline silica and take appropriate steps to protect workers. Employers can either use engineering control methods laid out in the construction standard of the regulation, or they can measure workers’ exposure to silica and take the appropriate steps to limit workers exposures to the permissible exposure limit (PEL) as defined in the regulation.

Please note area of disturbance on map.

• If the total ground disturbance is greater than or equal to ¾ acre, then a Fugitive Dust Permit will be required. Fugitive Dust Permits must be submitted to the Air Quality Program for review, and 377 ABW/CC signature, five (5) weeks prior to the anticipated start date of soil disturbance. NOTE: AEHD AQD requires all Fugitive Dust Permits be submitted to their office 10 business days prior to anticipated start date of soil disturbance and will require a site inspection prior to issuing the permit.

• If the total ground disturbance as defined by 20.11.20.7.E NMAC “Construction activity” is less than ¾ of an acre, then a fugitive dust permit is not required; however, the contractor must provide the Air Quality POC a map where all construction activity will occur.

The map must illustrate how the work area will be restricted below the permitting threshold. Contractors must still comply with the following general provisions from 20.11.20.12 NMAC:

o Each person shall use reasonably available control measures or any other effective control measure during active operations or on inactive disturbed surface areas, as necessary to prevent the release of fugitive dust, whether or not the person is required by

20.11.20 NMAC to obtain a fugitive dust control permit.

o It shall be a violation of 20.11.20 NMAC to allow fugitive dust, track out, or transported material from any active operation, open storage pile, stockpile, paved or unpaved roadway, disturbed surface area, or inactive disturbed surface area to cross or be carried beyond the property line, right-of-way, easement or any other area under control of the person generating the fugitive dust.

• Project has an existing FDC Permit #________. Compliance with existing permit and BMPs is mandatory.

NOTE: If any ground disturbance other than what is identified in the initial project is to occur, then you MUST re-coordinate with the Air Quality POC prior to commencing work.

AQ4

Boilers: Natural gas boilers/hot water heaters of size greater than five (5) million BTU (MMBTU) require Stationary Source Air Permitting.

If planning to install a boiler fueled by anything other than natural gas, contact Air Quality Program personnel immediately to determine if a permit is needed. If an air permit is required, the permit must be issued prior to purchase of the boiler(s) and can take up to seven (7) months to accomplish. The Air Quality Program is required to track boilers of all sizes/fuel types to comply with the basewide air permit (Title V Operating Permit). Coordination/Consultation with Air Quality Program POC required.

AQ5

Refrigerant: Ensure all equipment containing refrigerant and all HVAC technicians comply with the requirements in 40 CFR Part 82.

If you hire an outside contractor, other than the Base Maintenance Contractor, you must: 1) maintain all invoices and work orders for work on refrigeration equipment for a minimum of 3 years; and 2) maintain an inventory of refrigeration equipment to include: make, model, serial number, refrigerant type, and total refrigerant charge in pounds.

AQ6

Generators: All generators are required to have a 20.11.41 NMAC construction permit from the AEHD AQD. The permit must be in place prior to “commencing construction”, which means prior to purchasing the unit (20.11.41.7.C NMAC). It may take as long as 7 months from the initiation of the permit application preparation process to receive a permit from the AEHD AQD. The project is expected to pay for the cost of preparing the permit application and the associated AEHD AQD permit fees. The organization must plan to pay annual emission fees assessed by the AEHD AQD. Contact Air Quality Program personnel to discuss the timeline for the project.

Coordination/Consultation with Air Quality Program POC required. *Please see M21 for additional generator requirements.*
