STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

FOR

WASTEWATER REMOVAL FOR MARITIME TEST FACILITY, MOBILE AL

1 GENERAL

1.1 Background

The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Research & Development Center (RDC) conducts a variety of research projects in the area of oil spill response. One of the specific topics is the use of in-situ burning (ISB), a technique which involves corralling the oil in a fire-resistant boom or enclosed area and igniting it. Although burning creates a dark plume, it also removes the oil from the surface of the water. One of the research facilities owned by the RDC is a 38-foot by 108-foot open outdoor steel tank, the burn pan, which is located at the Maritime Test Facility on Little

Sand Island (LSI) in Mobile, AL. The burn pan also has a wave-making paddle, and a four-section artificial beach that can be raised and lowered. Test series in March 2017 and

September 2018 introduced HOOPS sweet crude oil (CAS# 8002-05-9) into the pan for burning purposes. As a result, the pan is currently holding contaminated wastewater mixture that must be removed and disposed.

1.2 Scope

The scope of this order is to remove and dispose of wastewater and sludge from the burn pan in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. The contractor agrees to clean up any spills, leaks or discharges that occur during the performance of work under this order. Cleanup shall comply with applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and procedures and be at no cost to the Government. Optional scope is to fill the burn pan with

60,000 gallons fresh water.

1.3 Applicable Documents

Laboratory Report: An independent laboratory provided comprehensive analytical results of the wastewater on February 7, 2019. No further contaminants were introduced to the burn pan after this analysis.
