STATEMENT OF WORK

Introduction

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is responsible for the management of 70 islands in Lake

Vermillion, Minnesota. In 2003, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issued a three-year permit for a recreational cabin to an individual with the right to renew for his "lifetime" with no rights to assign or otherwise transfer the permit to a subsequent party. The permit was issued to resolve the unauthorized use and occupancy of the island by the family which began in 1921. Pursuant to 43 CFR

2920.9-3(a)(1), the use permit automatically terminated by operation of law on December 31, 2018, the end of the period for which it was issued.

Objectives

The BLM has a requirement to remove all structures, debris, docks, and any hazardous materials from the 0.18-acre island located in Lake Vermillion, Minnesota. The structures include a 22.5’x12.5’ cabin, a 6’x4’ shed, a 10’x6.5’ shed, and a 10’x7.5’ shed. The Contractor shall move the materials for disposal to an appropriate disposal site in Minnesota that complies with State and Federal regulations.

All hazardous material shall be placed into proper containers and taken to an appropriate disposal site.

There are hazardous materials on the island such as propane tanks, fuel cans, oil containers, and fuel lines. The BLM is not aware if tanks contain any gas or fuel, or oil. Minnesota Administrative Rules

7035.0805 Subpart 1 says the state of Minnesota requires “hazardous materials or items present in structures are removed prior to the commencement of renovation or demolition and that the hazardous materials or items generated as a result are properly characterized and disposed of or recycled.” The structures on the island were tested for asbestos in 2023, and asbestos was found within the window glazing on the windows in the main cabin. The asbestos shall be removed by an approved asbestos contractor by the state of Minnesota. The Contractor shall be responsible for following all the demolition rules at the Link 1: Minnesota State Rules 1. following link: See Appendix A for maps, photos, links, and asbestos results. The Contractor shall obtain any necessary permits for demolition.

The Contractor shall abide by any and all conditions set forth in said permits. This work shall be completed between May 2024 and September 2024.

Deliverables

1. Comprehensive Technical and Management Plan. The Contractor shall provide a written plan for the BLM in advance of starting the project. The plan must include the following:

a. A listing of personnel, including subcontractor(s), working on the project.

b. Key personnel and their responsibilities during the project.

c. Qualifications and experience of personnel and subcontractors.

d. Detailed description of how the activities shall be performed.

g. Waste storage and disposal methods.

h. Debris Management Plan (detailed plan on how the Contractor shall follow the debris rules (see Appendix A Link 1: Minnesota State Rules 1)

i. Project Work Schedule.

2. Complete removal of each structure, docks, and any associated debris in accordance with the demolition rules of the state of Minnesota. (See Appendix A Link 1: Minnesota State Rules 1)

Any equipment, such as excavators or backhoes, used on the island needs to contain EPA-approved environmental acceptable lubricants that are biodegradable, minimally toxic to aquatic organisms and non-bio accumulative.

b. Any use of equipment on the island should be as minimal as possible and ground protection mats must be used where the machine shall operate over soil. Ground protection mats must be at least a half inch thick and wide enough to cover the width of the equipment. Due to site conditions, it is not foreseeable that the Contractor would be able to use the island for equipment cache or storage during operations. The Contractor shall not store fuel on the island. All debris and hazardous waste containers must be marked (see Appendix A Link 2 3: EPA Hazardous Waste Containers EPA) so that they are readily identified. In addition, the Contractor must ensure that there is a clear audit trail for all items until the final recycling or treatment/disposal is accomplished.
