1. AIR INSTALLATION COMPATIBLE USE ZONE

Noise & Cranes: If the Project Area is located where there may be significant effects to the Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) or may generate significant noise then this will be noted on AF Form 813, Section II, Box 7 or in TRIRIGA (Notes & Documents>Comments Tab). Department of Defense (DOD) Instruction 4165.57 establishes the AICUZ program. Generating significant noise, the use of cranes, or other actions occurring at heights above the elevation of the surrounding facilities is prohibited unless authorized in TRIRIGA (Notes & Documents>Comments Tab).

1.1. AIRFIELD WORK.

Section 1.1 is applicable only when TRIRIGA (Notes & Documents>Comments Tab) requires this.

Coordination and Communication. When working on the airfield, coordination is required between the contractor, the inspector, the airfield manager, and with the 9th Reconnaissance Wing Public Affairs Office (9 RW/PA) (634-1818) prior to beginning work. Note that Contractor equipment vehicles could, but will not, interfere with the “line-of-sight” operation of air traffic control equipment. When performing work on the airfield, it must remain functional. Contractor interference with aircraft movement is only permitted when authorized by 9 OS/OSAA Airfield Management or the tower. The contractor shall give right-of-way to aircraft at all times. Aircraft will be directed by the control tower to avoid routes where the contractor is working when possible. Contractor shall provide and maintain all necessary cones, signs and flag persons as required to protect his work and operations. Closing of taxiways or runway shall not be permitted, however, portions of aircraft parking aprons may be closed for short periods (a day at a time) for the contractor to perform work.

Clean Up. The Contractor shall continuously sweep and remove, with brooms and vacuum sweeper, any debris or materials which he spills, drops, dumps or vehicles track on any airfield surfaces and properly dispose of them. The Contractor has a substantial liability if such material damages aircraft. At the end of each work day, the airfield and vehicle access routes shall be cleaned of any debris left by the Contractor. Prior to departure each day, the contractor must receive approval from the airfield manager or inspector who shall check for residual debris. If failure to adequately clean the airfield surface results in airfield closure, the Contractor will be held liable for all costs associated with said closure.

Restricted Areas. Portions of the airfield are located in Restricted Areas delineated by red lines or ropes. Work in Restricted Areas requires a 30-day notice to 9 RW/SEF, and therefore the Contractor must schedule his/her work accordingly. The Contractor may not enter a restricted area unless accompanied by a Government escort, which shall be arranged.

Radio. Each day when working on the airfield, the Contractor shall obtain a hand-held two-way radio from 9 RW Airfield Management (Bldg 1060). The contractor shall establish and maintain two-way communication with the control tower at all times while on the runway.

Airfield Driving. Prior to operating vehicles on the airfield, arrangements must be made with 9 RW Airfield Management (634- 4018) for a flightline driver pass and briefing for all Contractor personnel to be driving on the airfield. Additionally, the Contractor must submit a list of all vehicles, drivers, and equipment to be used on the flightline to the 9 RW/CONS and to Airfield Management. All vehicles and equipment to be used on the airfield shall have pneumatic tires.

Photography is prohibited on the airfield.

2. AIR QUALITY

Fugitive Emissions: The Contractor shall comply with Feather River Air Quality Management District (FRAQMD) “Standard Mitigation Measures for All Projects” and “Fugitive Dust Control Mitigation Measures” during construction to minimize construction-related air quality impacts. Reference FRAQMD Rule 3.16 Fugitive Dust Emissions. Rule 3.16 can be found at https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/sites/default/files/classic/technology-clearinghouse/rules/RuleID902.html.

Stationary Air Emissions Sources: Any air emission source (boiler, heater, generator, petroleum storage tank, refrigeration unit, parts washer, etc.) installed or modified in this project must meet FRAQMD requirements at https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/sites/default/files/classic/technology-clearinghouse/rules/RuleID915.pdf. The Contractor must work with the 9 CES/CEIER Air Program Manager (530-634-2844) to obtain an Authority to Construct (ATC) permit from FRAQMD prior to installation of new equipment or modification/removal of existing equipment. An inspection and a permit to operate will also be required following equipment installation and prior to operation. The Contractor is responsible for payment of the ATC permit and inspection fee. The 9 CES/CEIE is responsible for payment of the Permit to Operate (PTO) after the equipment installation and acceptance.

Page 3 of 15 Pages

Portable Diesel Equipment: Any portable diesel internal combustion engines ≥50bhp require registration documentation from California Air Resources Board (CARB) Portable Equipment Registration Program (PERP). PERP Registration numbers must be provided to 9 CES/CEIER Air Quality Manager (530-634-2844) within three (3) business days of arriving on Beale AFB. The portable equipment will be subject to inspection by FRAQMD.

Fuel Burning Equipment: Manufacturer’s Specifications and Emissions Data: The Contractor will furnish copies of the manufacturer’s equipment specifications and emissions data for fuel burning equipment (such as boilers, heaters, and generators) and any other documents submitted to FRAQMD to the 9 CES/CEIE Air Program Manager to document meeting FRAQMD Air Permit requirements.

For any bulk storage container, generator, or equipment which will contain 55-gallon or more of hazardous substances (or waste), petroleum products or refrigerants, it is necessary to submit manufacturer’s specification sheet and a site installation plan to the 9 CES/CEIER Tank Program Manager (530-634-2844), prior to purchasing equipment so that the storage tank system can be reviewed for compliance with applicable hazardous material, bulk storage, aboveground storage tank (AST), and/or underground (UST) storage tank requirements, including Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC), Hazardous Material Response Plans, 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.101, National Fire Protection Act (NFPA) 30, etc. (see Section 11 “Tanks/Oil Bulk Fuel Storage Containers”). Any spills of hazardous materials or hazardous waste must be reported to 9 CES/CEIER via the Spill Response Phone (530-301-9413) and be promptly cleaned up.

Contractor Vehicles: California Vehicle Code (CVC), Section 4000, requires any vehicle which is based in California or primarily used on California highways, shall be registered in California. A nonresident owner of any commercial vehicle shall register the vehicle in this state and pay the applicable fees under this code. Vehicles must be smog tested and registered in CA within 30 calendar days of arriving in the state, even if they have a current registration in another state. Contractors and their employees are advised that failure to have their vehicles smog tested and registered in CA within 30 calendar days of arrival may result in enforcement action by local/state authorities.

Diesel Fueled Commercial Vehicles: Air Quality (Title 13 CCR): In accordance with Title 13 CCR, Section 2485, all diesel-fueled commercial vehicles operating in the State of California with a gross vehicular weight of greater than 10,000 lbs. and are or must be licensed to operate on highways shall not be idled for greater than five (5) minutes at any location. See Title 13 CCR, Section 2485, Subsection (d) for exceptions.

Media/Abrasive Blasting: If media/abrasive blasting is authorized then this will be noted on AF Form 813, Section II, Box 8 or within TRIRIGA (Notes & Documents>Comments Tab). Contractor shall sweep up or vacuum all paint chips and sand blast debris for proper disposal upon completion of work. The vacuum must be a High-efficiency Particulate Arrestance (HEPA) filtered vacuum if the paint contains lead. Any media/abrasive blasting will require a permit from FRAQMD. The required permit application and supplemental forms can be found on FRAQMD’s web site:

https://www.fraqmd.org/files/abaf7b208/PERMIT_BLASTING_Supplemental.pdf

3. WATER RESOURCES

No discharge of pollutants or soil: The Contractor is responsible for implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs) to ensure pollutants are not released or discharged to drainage features or storm drains in project work areas, equipment/material staging areas or parking areas. The Contractor shall promptly clean up any spilled materials and report any spill incident to the 9 CES/CEF Fire Department by dialing 911 from any Base phone. If calling by cellular phone, dial (530) 634-8675. The Contractor shall also notify the Spill Hotline at (530) 301-9413. The spill shall also be reported in writing to the 9 CES/CEIER within 48 hours.

All equipment and vehicles must be maintained to paved/gravel surfaces. The work crew is responsible for implementing BMPs to ensure pollutants are not released or discharged to drainage features or storm drains in project work areas, equipment/material staging areas or parking areas.

3.1. Clean Water Act Permits.

Applicable only when TRIRIGA (Notes & Documents>Comments Tab) requires this.

When 9 CES/CEIEC determines that it is likely that this project will require a Clean Water Act permit (CWA Section 401/404 and/or National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) then this will be noted in TRIRIGA (Notes & Documents>Comments Tab).

If unplanned actions later or failure to comply with the BMPs trigger the need for a CWA permit later due to the actions of the Contractor, then the Contractor shall be responsible for the expenses and delay involved.

https://www.fraqmd.org/files/abaf7b208/PERMIT_BLASTING_Supplemental.pdf

Page 4 of 15 Pages

3.2. CWA - NPDES Wastewater & Storm water Permits

Applicable only when TRIRIGA (Notes & Documents>Comments Tab) requires this, or if the project changes.

The CWA prohibits anybody from discharging "pollutants" through a "point source" into the Waters of the United States (WoUS) unless they have an NPDES permit. The permit will contain limits on what you can discharge, monitoring and reporting requirements, and other provisions to ensure that the discharge does not hurt water quality or people's health. In essence, the permit translates general requirements of the CWA into specific provisions tailored to the operations of each person discharging pollutants.

CWA Section 401 and 404 permits are required if any drainage will be temporarily or permanently impacted by the construction.

These permits must be requested from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB).

When 9 CES/CEIEC determines that it is likely that this project will require a NPDES permit then this will be noted in TRIRIGA (Notes & Documents>Comments tab). If unplanned actions trigger the need for a NPDES permit later due to the actions of the contractor, then the contractor shall be responsible for the expenses and delay involved. The CWA requires that all municipal, industrial and commercial facilities that discharge wastewater or storm water directly from a point source (a discrete conveyance such as a pipe, ditch or channel) into a water of the United States (such as a lake, river, or ocean) must obtain a NPDES permit. All permits are written to ensure that the receiving waters will achieve their Water Quality Standards. NPDES discharges can be permitted with an individual permit or covered under a general permit. Individual permits are written to address the specific design and applicable water quality standards to an individual facility while General permits authorize a category of discharges within a geographical area. The majority of construction sites and industrial facilities which discharge storm water are permitted under general NPDES permits.

NPDES general permits do not require that Operators “apply” for coverage; rather, general permits typically rely on the submission of a document called a Notice of Intent (NOI). An NOI differs from an individual permit application in that it is submitted by Operators after the general permit is issued by the permitting authority. An NOI for a general permit is a notice to the NPDES permitting authority of an Operator’s intent to be covered under a general permit, and typically contains basic information about the Operator and the planned discharge for which coverage is being requested. Some general permits, such as the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Pesticide General Permit, automatically cover some Operator discharges without submission of an NOI. In these instances, Operators must comply with applicable permit requirements for their pesticide applications without submission of any paperwork to the permitting authority (or in some instances, submission of some other type of notification document). https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/npdes/

Storm Water Construction Permit: The NPDES storm water program regulates storm water discharges from construction activities. Operators of these sources might be required to obtain an NPDES permit before they can discharge storm water. This permitting mechanism is designed to prevent storm water runoff from washing harmful pollutants into local surface waters. Storm water discharges from construction activities can significantly impact water quality. As storm water flows over a construction site, it can pick up pollutants like sediment, debris, and chemicals and transport them to nearby storm sewer systems or directly into rivers, lakes, or coastal waters. The NPDES storm water program requires that the project obtain a project permit for discharges from construction activities that disturb one or more acres. Construction storm water permits include effluent limits for erosion and sediment control, pollution prevention, and site stabilization from the Construction and Development Effluent Guidelines and Standards regulations. https://www.epa.gov/eg/construction-and-development-effluent-guidelines

Storm Water Training: When an NPDES storm water permit is required then the Contractor is responsible for ensuring that all personnel involved with the project (including subcontractors) have received storm water training and will submit training log(s) to the Contracting Squadron 9 RW/CONS as proof of training. The Contractor shall install and maintain erosion control system(s) such as silt fences, straw bale barriers or erosion control/stabilization blankets, as needed to protect drainage features from sedimentation resulting from construction activity. At a minimum, the Contractor shall inspect erosion control systems/BMPs daily and will submit inspection logs monthly to 9 RW/CONS (634-2868) to show that inspections are being conducted.

The project engineer/contractor must determine total acreage of ground to be disturbed by clearing, grading, stockpiling, staging/lay-down area, access routes on unpaved surfaces, and/or excavation that results in soil disturbances. This will be presumed to be less than an acre unless TRIRIGA (Notes & Documents>Comments Tab) states otherwise. If the planned footprint later exceeds one acre and this triggers the need for a NPDES permit, then the contractor shall be responsible for the expenses and delay involved.

NPDES When the Proposed Project involves More Than One Acre: If the surface area to be disturbed is more than one acre, then a NPDES storm water construction permit will be required. A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and Risk Assessment must be prepared by a Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD), according to the terms of the NPDES permit. The SWPPP and vicinity map must be submitted to the 9 CES/CEIER Storm Water Manager (530-634-2645) for review. Upon approval of the SWPPP, the Storm Water Manager will then submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). 9 CES/ CES/CEIER requires the contractor to submit an electronic copy of the SWPPP to 9 CES/CEIER for uploading into the SMARTS web site. Subsequently, 9 CES/ CES/CEIER will notify the contractor of the SWPPP fee amount and instructions for payment to the State. The SWRCB approval process takes 15-30 calendar days. Upon approval, the SWRCB will issue a Waste Discharge Identification Number

As required by the NPDES permitting process, the project engineer/Contractor shall implement the SWPPP, train his personnel to comply with the SWPPP, and monitor the effectiveness of the SWPPP throughout the construction activities. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that all personnel involved with the project (including subcontractors) have received storm water training. The contractor shall perform weekly BMP inspections and additional inspections prior to, during and after rain events, as specified in the NPDES permit. The BMP inspector will complete an inspection checklist that shall be used to identify and record BMPs that need maintenance, that have failed, or that could fail to operate as intended. Upon identifying failures or other shortcomings, the Contractor shall implement repairs and/or design changes to the BMPs within 72 hours. Copies of the inspection checklists/reports will be submitted to the project engineer monthly, and copies of these reports shall remain on-site with the project SWPPP. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to ensure that BMPs are implemented by a Qualified SWPPP Practitioner (QSP) according to the terms of the NPDES permit.

Projects requiring NPDES permitting from the State of California have been determined to be at Risk Level 2. Risk Level 2 projects are subject to water quality sampling and extensive inspection requirements. Reference the following for a complete list of Risk Level 2 Requirements http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/storm water/constpermits.shtml.

For the purpose of filing a Notice of Termination (NOT), construction is deemed complete only when vegetative growth covers at least 70% of the site. Contractors should assume this may take until May 15th of the year following construction completion and plan to maintain BMPs and continue permit required monitoring. Once construction is deemed complete, the Contractor shall remove the temporary BMPs and notify the Storm Water Manager who shall initiate the NOT application with the SWRCB certifying that all State and local requirements have been met iaw Special Provisions for Construction Activity, C.7, of the General Permit. Dischargers who fail to obtain coverage under this General Permit for storm water discharges to surface waters will be in violation of the CWA and the California Water Code. Any additional SWPPP renewal fees shall be the responsibility of the contractor.

NPDES When the Proposed Project Involves Less Than One Acre: When the proposed project involves less than an area of ground disturbance, there is no reason for the contractor to disturb more than one acre to complete this project and the contractor is not authorized to do so. Therefore, NPDES storm water construction permit will not be required. Excess soils that are temporarily stored on-site during construction need to be covered with stabilization blankets to prevent exposure to the elements and to lessen chances of sedimentation due to storm water runoff.

Off-road Travel Not Authorized: All equipment, vehicles, and storage of construction material and/or debris must be maintained to paved/gravel surfaces or in the designated work area and shall be located within the Project Area and away from drainages and other wetlands.

Limited Operations Period: Ground disturbing work on unpaved areas is not allowed during the wet season (usually November through May). Permission to work outdoors otherwise may be requested from 9 CES/CEIE (530-634-2645) if weather continues to be fair. 9 CES/CEIE will evaluate and approve or disapprove outdoor work requests during this time on a case-by-case basis, depending on weather conditions, weather forecast, and whether or not activities will damage soil or vegetative cover. The only outdoor work allowed for 12 hours before or after a storm event is the inspection, installation and/or maintenance of erosion controls/ BMPs.

Pressure Washing: Must be done in a manner that does not generate runoff and in accordance with the Beale AFB General Industrial Storm Water Permit. Any type of rinse or wash water discharged to Beale AFB’s storm water drainage system is considered an unauthorized non-storm water discharge and is strictly prohibited by the industrial storm water general permit.

Page 6 of 15 Pages

The general permit does not require dischargers to eliminate the activities producing rinse and wash waters but it does prohibit the discharge of those rinse or wash waters to storm water drainage systems.

3.3. Pesticide and Herbicide Use.

The BMPs in Section 3.3 are applicable to this project only when the TRIRIGA (Notes & Documents>Comments Tab) requires this.

If this project is authorized to use pesticides and/or herbicides then this will be noted in TRIRIGA (Notes & Documents>Comments Tab). Otherwise, pesticide and herbicide use is not authorized for this project. If pesticide and/or herbicide use is later requested and authorized on AF Form 103 then the project must comply with the Beale AFB Pest Management Plan, this must be coordinated in advance with the 9 CES/CEOIE Entomology Shop (530-634-2713/2714), and the contractor must provide current certifications for pesticide applicators before bringing pesticides or herbicides onto the 9 CES/CEIE. The contractor shall not leave any unused hazardous materials on Beale AFB at the completion of contracted work.

4. SAFETY AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH

The contractor shall conform to the latest edition of the Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD) 91-3 (AFOSH).

ERP Advisory: Personnel working on this project site must then be informed of the possibility that contaminated soil, soil vapor, and/or groundwater may be encountered on the job site. If signs of contamination are encountered (smell, stain and/or free product), stop work and contact your 9 RW/CONS. An ERP waiver is not required prior to construction unless this requirement is noted in TRIRIGA (Notes & Documents>Comments Tab).

Serpentine Soil Advisory: Projects that disturb soil may release dust containing natural asbestos. The project shall take the appropriate safety measures.

Military Munitions Advisory: Past activities at Beale AFB used a variety of munitions and related materials across most of the Base property. Because of the Base’s history, military munitions related material could be encountered within the project area. If any suspected military munitions related material is found, stop work in the area, move personnel away from the site, and contact the 9 RW Command Post (530-634-5700) and/or the 9 CES Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Flight (530-634-9070/530-634- 9071, or 911 for emergency). Do not touch or attempt to remove any material suspected to be military munitions related. If munitions and explosives of concern (MEC) are discovered, Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Technician support will be then required before the project can continue. This site is believed to be without munitions but care must be exercised. If this project is located on a known or unsurveyed MMRP sites then this will be noted in TRIRIGA (Notes & Documents>Comments Tab).

Snake and Insect Hazards:

Rattlesnakes are present within this Project Area and are a safety issue.

Mosquitos that are a vector for West Nile Disease are present within this Project Area and are a safety issue.

Ticks that are a disease vector are present within this Project Area and are a safety issue.

5. HAZARDOUS MATERIAL AND WASTE

Contractor shall be responsible for knowing which materials he is using or encounters are hazardous material/waste, as well as for proper labeling, transportation and disposal procedures under County, State, and Federal regulations for hazardous material/waste.

5.1. Hazardous Materials.

AFI 32-7086 § 2.5 requires that all hazardous materials obtain prior authorization through the (HMMP) before the material is brought on Base. "Hazardous material" means any material for which there is a manufacturer Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) that lists hazardous ingredients, including common construction materials such as – paints, cement, asphalt, fiberglass or foam insulation; herbicides such as Roundup, etc. Usage data of approved materials must be reported for tracking in the Enterprise Environmental, Safety, and Occupational Health - Management Information System (EESOH-MIS). Direct any questions to the 9 CES/CEIER Hazardous Materials Program Manager, Stephen Galloway (530-634-2735, stephen.galloway.3.ctr@us.af.mil).

Tanks/Oil Bulk Fuel Storage Containers: The project is not authorized to bring these onto Base or to install them without prior written approval from the 9 CES/CEIER Tank Program Manager 530-634-3987. Bulk storage containers are containers with a capacity of 55 gallons or greater. Oil is oil of any kind, i.e. vegetable, synthetic, animal, ethanol blends containing any petroleum or petroleum products.

Page 7 of 15 Pages

Polychlorinated Biphenyls: (PCBs) (light ballasts, transformers): Before work begins on the project, please contact 9 CES Customer Service at (530) 634-2604/2605 to obtain transformer data. See the Hazardous Waste section for information on the disposition of fluorescent light ballasts. Contact 9 CES/CEIER for authorization to dispose of hazardous materials or waste.

Asbestos and Lead-based Paint Management: If this project is located where there is known Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM) or Lead-based Paint then this will be noted in TRIRIGA (Notes & Documents>Comments Tab). The project proponent will ensure that the 9 RW Asbestos Management and Operations and the Lead-based Paint Plans are complied with. These toxic material are often present, even when TRIRIGA (Notes & Documents>Comments Tab) does not indicate that they are known to be present, therefore the contractor is responsible for compliance with the survey and management requirements of these plans.

In the event that unexpected asbestos is found or previously non-friable asbestos material becomes crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder the Contractor shall immediately stop work. Contractor/Shop personnel shall provide event details to Beale AFB by immediately notifying the Contracting Officer, 9 CES/CEN Project Manager and 9 CES/CEIE Air Quality Program Manager. The Contractor shall consult with a California Certified Asbestos Consultant to complete applicable testing. If renovation, abatement, removal activities and/or other work practices/processes renders any amount of previously non-friable asbestos containing materials friable, the Contractor/Shop shall stop work and immediately submit NESHAP notifications via certified mail to both EPA and California Air Resources Board. A copy of the notification will be submitted to the contracting officer and to the 9 CES/CEIER Air Quality Program Manager. For more information, contact 9 CES/CEIE at 530-634-2844.

5.2. The Disposal of Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste.

The transport or disposal of hazardous materials and/or waste is not authorized unless this is authorized in TRIRIGA (Notes & Documents>Comments Tab). Contact 9 CES/CEIER at 530 634-2644 for authorization to dispose of hazardous materials or waste. If so authorized, compliance with the policies later detailed on AF Form 813 and 103 is required.

AFI 32-7086 § 3.4 requires that all hazardous materials obtain prior authorization through the Hazardous Materials Management Process (HMMP) before the material is brought on Base. "Hazardous material" means any material for which there is a manufacturer MSDS that lists hazardous ingredients, including common construction materials such as – paints, cement, asphalt, fiberglass or foam insulation; lead acid batteries; herbicides such as Roundup, etc. Usage data of approved materials must be reported for tracking in the Enterprise Environmental, Safety, and Occupational Health - Management Information System (EESOH-MIS).

The Contractor must properly dispose of all hazardous waste and nonhazardous waste generated. All hazardous waste characterization/shipping/disposal must abide with Federal, state, local and military regulations. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) sets certain minimum standards for waste management. States may have more restrictive requirements than RCRA.

Waste paint/primer chips/liquid/debris must be properly characterized for hazardous waste properties or constituents (California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 22 metals, toxicity, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons or other listed hazardous wastes) and may require disposal as hazardous waste. Hazardous wastes must be controlled to prevent release into the environment or sanitary sewer.

Proper identification/containerization/labeling for hazardous wastes must occur during all painting, paint removal, blasting, scrubbing and clean-up processes (thinner activities, waste paint activities, dirty rags/debris and all other processes which generate hazardous wastes). Accumulated hazardous wastes must be stored and labeled in accordance with Federal, state, local and military regulations.

At completion of work, the Contractor shall not leave paint, primers or other chemicals behind at the worksite. All chemicals shall be retained by the Contractor at completion of work. Fluorescent tubes, mercury thermostats, and fluorescent light ballasts may be present in the facility and must be disposed of properly (as Universal Waste or hazardous waste, depending on the item and its condition).

Contractor Reporting: For any work requiring the use of materials that have a Material Data Hazard Summary MDHS (hazmats), Contractors must complete and submit the following worksheets (attached):

Contractor Profile Worksheet: This allows the Installation HMMP team to annotate basic Contractor information and will serve as a record that Contractors were assessed for reporting requirements. Serves as a "Cover Sheet" to the Contractor provided authorizations and tracking worksheets.

Transient Contractor Abbreviated Authorization Worksheet: This worksheet should be completed by the Contractor for each hazmat they will be using on the installation.

Page 8 of 15 Pages

Transient Contractor HAZMAT Usage Worksheet: Promptly return to 9 RW/CONS on the reporting end date or at the conclusion of the contract period, whichever comes first. If the Contractor needs to bring a material on the installation that was not included in the original Hazmat listing, the Contractor must first notify 9 RW/CONS and obtain authorization prior to bringing it on Base. The Contractor is responsible for removal of all unused Hazmat. Leave no excess Hazmat or empty containers on site following completion of project. Direct any questions to the 9 CES/CEIER Hazardous Materials Program Manager (530-634- 2735).

Disposal of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) Contaminated Fluorescent Tube Ballasts: Ballasts without a “NO PCB” sticker or label must be disposed as hazardous waste. They should be placed in a heavy gauge steel drum (17H) and marked with a hazardous waste label and PCB sticker. The drums of ballast must be hazardous waste manifested off Base, by an approved hazardous waste hauler, to an approved disposal facility. 9 CES/CEIER will provide manifest generator date and sign the hazardous waste manifest before the drum leaves the Base. PCB ballasts that have leaked must be double plastic bagged before placing into the drum. The contaminated portion of the light fixture should also be plastic bag wrapped and placed into a separate drum and identified as metal/plastic PCB contaminated. Gloves and other personal protective equipment, contaminated by PCB ballast oil/tar should also be disposed as PCB contaminated hazardous waste. Drums of PCB contaminated ballasts or hazardous waste shall be removed from the Base within three work days, or stored at an established hazardous waste accumulation point. Contact the 9 CES/CEIER Environmental Office at 530-634-2644 if on-site storage is no longer necessary. All ballasts shall be separated as to “PCB” and “No PCB.” Both “PCB” and “No PCB” ballasts shall be properly disposed of. Non PCB ballasts may require recycling or special disposal rather than in regular trash.

https://www.epa.gov/pcbs/disposal-fluorescent-light-ballasts-flb

Disposal of Treated Wood Waste (TWW): The disposal of TWW is not authorized. Contact the 9 CES/CEIER Hazardous Materials Program Manager (530-634-2735) or 530 634-2644) for authorization to generate TTW. If so authorized compliance with the policies of AF Form 103 for TWW is required. TWW is hazardous waste according to California hazardous waste control law (CCR Title 22, div. 4.5, Ch. 34). TWW must be accumulated/stored and disposed of according to California TWW regulations. TWW may contain hazardous chemicals that pose a risk to human health and the environment. Arsenic, chromium, copper, creosote, and pentachlorophenol are among the chemicals added to preserve wood. Accumulation locations and start dates for TWW must immediately be coordinated with the 9 CES/CEIER Environmental Office (9 CES/CEIER). Sawdust from cutting TWW must be collected and managed as TWW. TWW accumulations must be properly labeled in accordance with California TWW regulations. Disposal of TWW must be coordinated with the 9 CES/CEIER Environmental Office. Copies of landfill weight tickets must be sent to the 9 CES/CEIER Hazardous Materials Program Manager. (530-634-2735).

Store TWW off the ground by placing it on blocks, on concrete surfaces, or in containers. Do not store TWW beyond allowed limits (90 calendar days – block and tarp, 180 days – containment pad, 1 year – container and storage building). Cover TWW during inclement weather to prevent rain water from leaching chemicals out of the TWW. Accumulate TWW away from public access. Contact 9 CES/CEIER if planning to reuse the removed TWW to ensure compliance with existing hazardous waste laws. Keep TWW from mixing with other waste. Train employees involved in TWW handling and keep the training records for three years. (Training shall include applicable requirements of California Occupational Safety and Health Agency (Cal/OSHA) and regulations relating to hazardous waste, methods for identifying and segregating TWW, safe handling practices, requirements of TWW management; and proper disposal methods). Label all TWW bundle/shipments with the following information.

5.4. Tanks/Oil Bulk Fuel Storage Containers.

The transport installation and/or disposal of Tanks/Oil Bulk Fuel Storage Containers is prohibited unless authorized in the TRIRIGA (Notes & Documents>Comments Tab). The contractor is not authorized to bring these onto Base or install them without prior written approval from the 9 CES/CEIER Tank Program Manager (530-634-3987). Prior to purchase, the Contractor shall notify the 9 CES/CEIER Tank Program Manager of any oil bulk storage container installation. Bulk storage containers are containers with a capacity of 55 gallons or greater. Oil is oil of any kind, i.e., vegetable, synthetic, animal, ethanol blends containing any petroleum or petroleum products. This can include:

• Aboveground storage tanks (ASTs)

• Underground storage tanks (USTs)

• 55-gallon drums

• Emergency generators, including gensets (emergency generators with belly tanks)

• Hydraulic systems

• Lubricating systems (for pumps, compressors, and other rotating equipment)

• Gear boxes

• Machining coolant systems

• Heat transfer systems

• Transformers

• Other electrical equipment

• Hydraulic elevators and other systems containing oil to enable operation

5.5. Hazardous Materials and/or Hazardous Waste Spills.

Any spills of hazardous materials or hazardous waste must be reported to 9 CES/CEIER via the Spill Response Phone (530) - 301-9413 and be promptly cleaned up. Spills less than 1 gallon in size may be reported to 9 CES/CEIER via the Beale AFB Spill Report Form (available in the Beale AFB Integrated Contingency Plan, ICP) after cleanup is finished instead of calling the Spill Response Phone.

Beale AFB has a SPCC Plan requiring all changes, installations, and repairs involving bulk storage containers be incorporated into the plan and spills of oils prevented. The 9 CES/CEIER Tank Program Manager (530-634-3987) must be notified of all changes to bulk storage containers (commissioning or decommissioning) to ensure timely inclusion in the SPCC Plan (Integrated Contingency Plan). Secondary containment is required for all containers whose capacity is 55 gallons or more of a liquid.

Secondary containment must be large enough to hold the entire contents of the largest single container plus room for freeboard (precipitation). Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) Authorization and Usage Tracking:

Refrigerant Compliance and Ozone Depleting Substances: Any relocation, modification, or removal of existing building Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system will require the Ozone Depleting Substance (ODS) (refrigerant) to be recovered and tracked for the amount removed and replaced. The recovery equipment will also need to have an U.S. EPA Refrigerant Recovery or Recycling Devise Acquisition Certification readily available on site. Regulations governing disposal of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) are covered in the "Defense Materiel Disposition Manual" (DoD 4160.21 -M), "Storage and Handling of Liquefied and Gaseous Compressed Gasses and Their Full and Empty Cylinders" (DLAI 4145.25 / AFJMAN 23- 227(I)) and the DoD "Ozone Depleting Substances Turn-In Procedures" All Class I ODSs, Halons and R-22 must be recovered and retained by the AF. These refrigerants may not be transferred/sold/given to anyone outside of the DoD, regardless of where/how the material is stored (storage cylinders, within equipment, or any other configuration). Covered materials which are not necessary to support installation activities must be returned to the Defense Logistics Agency ODS Reserve.

Regardless of material, all ODSs and their "non-ODS" alternatives must be maintained in accordance with all Clean Air Act (CAA) regulations; including but not limited to, record keeping, storage, labeling and any other applicable requirements. These requirements can be found in Section 608 of the CAA. Records pertaining to recovery of disposition of these materials must be developed and maintained so as to ensure compliance with CAA record keeping requirements. Significant fines have been levied against DoD installations for failure to comply with these regulations.

Refrigerant commodities which are not required to be returned to the DLA ODS Reserve must also be maintained IAW with DoD and CAA requirements, however these materials are not required to be transferred to the DLA ODS Reserve. Care should be taken to ensure proper record keeping as well as compliance with all Federal Acquisition Regulations.

Maintenance and Recovery activities may be performed by properly certified civilian, military or contract personnel, however the installation retains its environmental liability regardless of who completes the task.

Equipment which is slated for disposal and has had its refrigerant removed/recovered must be properly identified as such;

specific requirements can be found in the links below. Section 608 of the CAA prohibits venting of any Class I or Class II refrigerant, including ALL non-ODS substitutes (e.g. R-134a, etc). As such, all equipment must be serviced by appropriately certified individuals only and have all refrigerants recovered IAW the CAA 608 requirements.

The Refrigerant Management Module within the AF Air Program Information Management System (APIMS) should be utilized for tracking refrigerant management activities, including HVAC maintenance, equipment disposal and other situations covered by the CAA.

Backflow Prevention (BFP) Device: Whenever a HVAC is involved and/or when a structure is constructed/expanded/renovated then AF Instruction (AFI) 32-1066 is applicable. AFI 32-1066, Civil Engineering, Backflow Prevention Program, requires bases to inspect, test, install, repair, and replace backflow prevention devices to protect potable water supplies. In addition, the Safe Drinking Water Act requires public water systems to protect their water supplies from contamination by implementing a cross-connection control program. This project must include provisions for the protection of drinking water by the installation, replacement or upgrade of backflow prevention assemblies IAW the governing regulations: AFI 32-1066, the Uniform Plumbing Code and International Plumbing Code. This project shall submit for review and approval to the 9 CES/CEOIU Backflow Prevention Manager (530-634-2541) for BFP device requirements.

Bulk Storage Containers: All bulk storage containers purchased and installed at Beale AFB must conform to appropriate national industry standards in addition to Federal and California Environmental regulations. These standards can include, but are not limited to, Underwriters Laboratories 142 and/or 2085, Occupational Safety & Health Act, 29 CFR 1910.106, 40 CFR 112, 40 CFR 280, CCRs, California Health and Safety Code, NFPA Uniform Fire Code 1, NFPA 30 and/or NFPA 30A, California Fire Code, American Petroleum Institute 650 – Appendix J &12F, Southwest Research Institute 93-01 & 97-04, Petroleum Equipment Institute RP600-07 & RP800-08 and Steel Tank Institute (STI) SP001 Aboveground Storage Tank Inspection standard. Per STI SP001, all new storage tanks must be integrity tested after installation on site and before use. Under STI SP001, tanks must also be inspected monthly for the life of the tank; at Beale AFB these inspections are to be performed by the using organization.

Beale AFB has a SPCC Plan requiring all changes, installations, and repairs involving bulk storage containers be incorporated into the plan and spills of oils prevented. 9 CES/CEIER Tank Program Manager (530-634-3987) must be notified of all changes to bulk storage containers (commissioning or decommissioning) to ensure timely inclusion in SPCC Plan (Integrated Contingency Plan). Secondary containment is required for all containers whose capacity is 55 gallon or more of a liquid. Secondary containment must be large enough to hold the entire contents of the largest single container plus room for freeboard (precipitation).

Tanks/Oil Bulk Fuel Storage Containers Deliverables: The Contractor will furnish the manufacturer’s equipment specifications on any bulk storage containers for oils to support meeting Federal and California state requirements for bulk storage containers and site installation plan. All final bulk storage container installations shall meet national and California standards for fire protection and safety as well as be in compliance with the Beale AFB SPCC Plan and Environmental regulations. In general, all tanks must have venting (normal and emergency) and liquid-level sensing devices permanently installed. Hazardous Waste tanks (used oil) and USTs are required to be double-walled tanks with liquid level sensors in the interstitial space (such as Veeder-Root TLS-350 monitors).

Aboveground Storage Tank Closure/Not in Service: During storage the empty AST must be signed as “permanently closed” to preclude it from SPCC Plan requirements. Otherwise tank must be considered in operation. Permanent Closure definition is found in 40 CFR 112.2. A durable sign reading “Do Not Fill – Tank Permanently Closed on [date]” should be attached to the AST. Tank may be stored empty (as much fuel removed as practical), but does not need to be triple-rinsed. It will need to be cleaned prior to disposal off Base (see Tank Demolition section). Send notification of Permanent Closure to 9 CES/CEIER Tank Program Manager (530-634-3987) for inclusion in SPCC Plan (Integrated Contingency Plan).

Tank Demolition: Any tanks that are demolished or removed must be discarded in accordance with (iaw) Federal and State of California laws, including National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 30, 30A and/or 326, California Health and Safety Code, California Fire Code, etc. Prior to disposing of flammable liquid storage tanks (i.e., gasoline and diesel), all liquids and sludge must be removed from the tank, the tank must be triple rinsed, and the internal atmosphere be inerted prior to disposal. Any permits for removal are to be coordinated through 9 CES/CEIER Tank Program Manager (530-634-3987). Flammable gas storage tanks (i.e., propane), must be checked for liquids prior to inertion and disposal. All rinse water (rinsate) and/or tank liquids must be disposed of according to any applicable Federal or California Hazardous Waste regulations. A “Hazardous Waste Tank Closure Certification” or similar form should be sent to 9 CES/CEIER Tank Program Manager (530-634-3987) to document tank closure and removal. Additional coordination and permits from Yuba County CUPA are required to removed and

Permits or additional requirements may be required prior to tank installation or demolition for certain types of tanks/bulk storage containers, generally USTs and used oil tanks. Permits must be coordinated through 9 CES/CEIER and are obtained from Yuba County Dept. of Environmental Health (CUPA). For permit requirements, contact the 9 CES/CEIER Tank Program Manager (530-634-3987). UST permits must be obtained prior to installation of tank. Used Oil and other hazardous waste tanks may fall under both petroleum and hazardous waste requirements. Hazardous Waste tanks must be inspected and approved by Yuba County CUPA prior to being placed into service. Hazardous Waste tanks must also be certified fit for use by a California- Registered Professional Engineer (PE) per California Health and Safety Code Title 22, Section 66265 prior to scheduling the Yuba County Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) inspection.
