AIR

Rich Yohn 719-526-6601

Brandon Fellner 719-526-0978

Fort Carson is required to track the emissions of hazardous air pollutants typically found in paints, solvents, adhesives, and many other materials. Please complete the attached AQA form and return to the Air Program if any of these materials are used.

WASTEWATER/DRINKING WATER

John Wachter 719-526-1694

Jeff Farmer 719-526-1730

Ensure that any pipe, plumbing fitting, fixture, solder, or any flux used for providing water for human consumption are certified lead free (Safe Drinking Water Act, Section 1417 (e); Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act, 2014; NSF-61- 371.

Ensure that potable water sources are not contaminated by backflow issues. Eliminate cross-connections and/or provide the required backflow prevention assembly (BFPA). BFPA assemblies / methods must conform to the American National Standards Institute / American Water Works Association (ANSI/AWWA) Standards C51007, or C511-07, and American Society of Sanitary Engineering (ASSE) Standards.

Waterless urinals are not recommended due to the corrosion issues. It is preferred that low flow urinals be installed. If waterless urinals are used, then copper and brass piping will have to be replaced with PVC.

Before any potable water lines are utilized by a consumer the lines in the building(s) must be flushed and a water quality test must be performed (Bac-t / e-coli) IAW FC Policy.

STORMWATER

Kenneth Morris 719-526-1697

Jack Haflett 719-526-6206

Have a waste management plan for disposal of debris, and dispose of all waste material properly. Make sure waste does not enter into the curb and gutter, inlets, ditches or surface waters as this is a Stormwater violation.

ASBESTOS/LEAD/TOXICS

David Martin 719-526-1725

Coordinate asbestos abatement with Program Manager to ensure proper inspections are performed; and proper removal and disposal of ACM.

IRP

Joe Gallegos 719-526-8001

No concerns.

AST/UST/SPILL

Terry Eberle 719-526-9411

No concerns

RCRA

Cheryl Frischkorn 719-526-1686

Typically, the disposal of hazardous waste (HW) is a requirement of contracts on Fort Carson, where the contactor is responsible for the proper handling and disposal. However, if this is not the case or if this project is conducted by non-contractor personnel, please contact the HW PM, the RCRA PM, or an ECAT member for proper handling and disposal.
