Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation Lower Colorado Basin

Performance Work Statement HAZMAT Spill Response/Cleanup and Waste Disposal Services

1.0 GENERAL

The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) – Lower Colorado Basin (BOR-LCB) requires a contractor to perform cleanup and disposal of illegal dumpsites; bloodborne pathogen cleanup; compelling and urgent emergency spill response and cleanup;

nonemergency spill response and cleanup; and, if needed, remedial investigation and feasibility study (RI/FS) activities associated with HAZMAT response and cleanup activities for the BOR-LCB to include the following area offices: Phoenix Area Office, Lower Colorado Dams Office, Yuma Area Office, and the Lower Colorado Regional Office.

BOR-LCB, the Lower Colorado Dams Office (LCDO)—which includes Hoover, Davis, and Parker Dams—and the Boulder Canyon Operations Office (BCOO), also requires a contractor to provide Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste, nonhazardous waste, and universal waste (waste) disposal services. Waste disposal services shall include lab packing, pickup, and transportation; disposal, labeling, and marking of containers; preparing waste profile analyses;

preparing Land Disposal Restriction documentation; preparing Bill of Laden or Uniformed Hazardous Waste Manifests; and providing Certificate of Disposal or Recycling and other documentation related to waste disposal services.

2.0 OBJECTIVE

The objectives of this requirement are the following:

• For one or more contractors to provide BOR-LCB with response capabilities to environmental releases or the threat of a release and/or discharge. “Release incidents” refers to releases or potential releases of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, pollutants, or contaminants that present an imminent and substantial threat to the public health, welfare, the environment, and BOR-LCB mission. The release or potential release also applies to discharges of petroleum products that impacts—or threatens to impact—inland waters or shorelines. Such response actions may require compelling and urgent emergency spill response and cleanup, nonemergency spill response and cleanup, and if needed RI/FS activities to protect BOR-LCB mission of water delivery and power generation.

• For one or more contractors to provide a means to respond to and cleanup illegal dumping/dump sites, to include preventative measures such as construction of berms, installation of fencing and gates, or other methods necessary to deter future dumping.

• For one or more contractors to provide BOR-LCB, LCDO, and BCOO with waste disposal services.

3.0 BACKGROUND

BOR-LCB is one of five BOR Regions in 17 Western states working to implement BOR’s mission to manage, develop, and protect water and related resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner in the interest of the American public.

The Lower Colorado River is a major interstate and international riverine resource, and in a typical year the BOR-LCB delivers 7.5 million acre-feet (MAF) of water to users in Arizona, California, and Nevada, and 1.5 MAF to Mexico. This water typically irrigates over 2.5 million acres of land and meets the domestic needs of roughly 30 million people.

More than 10 million people recreate on the reservoirs and lakes on the Lower Colorado River, including Lake Mead, Lake Mojave, Lake Havasu, and the Imperial Reservoir. These lakes are estimated to hold 63 million acre-feet of water, and the dams that contain them produce an estimated 4.2 billion kWh annually and contribute to flood control.

3.1 HAZMAT Spill Response/Cleanup

The BOR-LCB has the following offices that at any time may use this contract vehicle to address environmental releases or the threat of a release and/or discharge:

• Lower Colorado Dams Office (Hoover Dam, Davis Dam, and Parker Dam)

• Phoenix Area Office

• Yuma Area Office

• Lower Colorado Regional Office (LCRO)

Over the past 15 years, there has been approximately one spill per year occurring within the Lower Colorado River and other water bodies and facilities that required compelling and urgent emergency spill response and cleanup. These spills include fuel tankers turning over on bridges, marina fueling facilities leaking fuel, irrigation fuel tanks leaking into the river, boat accidents that cause a sheen, and HAZMAT tankers carrying chemicals turning over. Any hazardous material or chemicals that travels by truck, car, boat, or train could be spilled at any time and any place in the LCB region.

In the past 9 years, several illegal dump sites/landfills have been identified on BOR lands; over $600,000 has been spent on the cleanup of these sites. These sites include hazardous waste, non-hazardous waste, household waste, construction debris, and other regulated wastes (tires, ACM, state regulated waste, etc.) Numerous other sites have been identified with smaller amounts of waste.

LC REGION & AREA OFFICE JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDERIES

3.1.1 Environmental Protection Agency Region 9 Lower Colorado River Geographic Response Plan The Lower Colorado River Geographic Response Plan (LCR-GRP) is the principal guide for emergency preparedness and response along the Lower Colorado River from Lake Meads and Hoover Dam to the United States/Mexico Border. This plan is consistent with the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) 40 CFR § 300:

https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=bdaac45ce8815a054dcbb95ff75d9b20&mc=true&node=pt40.30.300&rgn=div5 and is intended to facilitate multiagency and multijurisdictional coordination, communication, and collaboration among local, state, and federal agencies; tribal nations; and industry when responding to oil and hazardous material incidents.

The first Colorado River Area Contingency Plan (ACP) was completed in 1993 and amended in 1997 by the addition of ten designated spill boom deployment site strategies to contain and recover contaminants. A Steering Committee was formed in 2009 to update the 1993 ACP. The Steering Committee than formed an Area Committee comprised of local, state, federal, tribal, industry, and nongovernmental organization (NGO) representatives. The Steering Committee decide that one ACP would be inefficient and developed three ACP planning/response Areas. These three Geographic Response Planning Areas include the following:

1. Area One – Hoover Dam to Davis Dam

2. Area Two – Davis Dam to Parker Dam

3. Area Three – Parker Dam to the United States/Mexico Border

The LCR-GRP can be found at the following website: https://response.epa.gov/site/doc_list.aspx?site_id=5618

3.2 Disposal Service of Hazardous Waste, Nonhazardous Waste, and Universal Waste

In a typical year, the LCRO generally may have 1 to 3 pickups of waste per year. Some of these pickups would include lab-packing small quantities of laboratory chemicals, building and grounds maintenance waste, and any additional waste generated by BOR-LCB.

Hoover Dam generally may have 1 to 3 pickups of maintenance waste, universal waste, some chemicals, lead shot from the Hoover Dam Shooting Range, and other hazardous waste as it is generated.

Davis Dam generally may have 1 to 3 pickups per year of maintenance waste, universal waste, some chemicals, and other hazardous waste as it is generated.

Parker Dam generally may have 1 to 3 pickups per year of maintenance waste, universal waste, some chemicals, and other hazardous waste as it is generated.

Boulder Canyon Operations Office (BCOO) generally may have 1 to 3 pickups per year of maintenance waste, universal waste, some chemicals, and other hazardous waste as it is generated.

LCRO and Hoover, Davis, and Parker Dams have Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Identification number(s).
