At the time of removal, the Contractor shall provide the Generator/USG Representative with a complete and accurate, transporter-signed copy of each manifest that is used for the waste removal. If the Generator/USG Representative is not present at the time of removal, the

Contractor shall provide the COR with a copy of the manifest(s).

20 November 2025 Page 4 | 5

The use of transfer facilities is authorized during transit of waste to the designated facility. A transfer facility is any transportation related facility including loading docks, parking areas, storage areas and other similar areas where shipments of hazardous waste are held during the normal course of transportation, per 40 CFR § 260.10. The Contractor will ensure that the 10-day holding time is not exceeded at any transfer facility.

If within 30 days from the removal date, the waste has not yet been received at the designated

TSDF, the Contractor shall notify the COR of the current physical location of the waste.

Within 45 days from the removal date, the Contractor shall provide the COR with a facility-signed electronic copy of each manifest via email. If multiple transporters were used during transit, the Contractor shall also provide the COR with a Uniform Hazardous or Non-

Hazardous Waste Manifest Continuation Sheet, as applicable, with additional transporter signatures as necessary.

If the Contractor is unable to deliver the waste to the designated or alternate facility identified on the manifest(s) per 40 CFR § 263.21(a), the COR and Generator will be contacted for disposition and manifest revision instructions per 40 CFR § 263.21(b). The Contractor shall make reasonable attempts to deliver the waste to a qualified alternate facility rather than returning the waste to the Generator. In the event of rejected shipments, or where the shipment is undeliverable, the Contractor shall provide the Generator with a written narrative of the incident, including details of all attempts to provide delivery to a qualified TSDF. If the manifest copy cannot be provided within 45 days from the date of removal, the

Contractor shall notify the generator and COR electronically with the current location of the manifested materials and the expected date of return for the manifests.

CLEANUP

Remove rubbish and debris from the project site daily. No materials may be stored at the work area unless approved by the Contracting Officer.
