PART 2 EXECUTION

2.1 DISPOSAL OF WASTE/EXCESS MATERIAL

2.1.1 General: The Contractor shall take a proactive, responsible role in the management of non-hazardous solid waste and require all subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers to participate in the effort. Non-hazardous

Solid Waste, as defined in Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 261.2, dispositioned for disposal shall be removed from the base in accordance with all Federal, State of Georgia, and local codes and requirements.

Every effort shall be made to segregate individual waste streams and divert waste from any landfill by reusing or recycling materials. Direct all non-hazardous solid waste inquiries to 78 CEG/CEIEC Solid Waste

Program Manager.

2.1.2 Solid Waste Handling: All persons engaged in solid waste handling, including solid waste collection and transportation, or operations of solid waste handling facilities or disposal sites, shall have a solid waste handling permit or permit by rule letter. The provisions of Georgia Environmental Protection Division (GA

EPD) regulations concerning proper handling of solid waste and applicable prohibitions shall govern. All materials and equipment not turned in to the Government is considered property of the contractor and must be properly removed by the end of the project.

2.1.3 Solid Waste Disposal: Use one or more of the following methods to divert/dispose of non-hazardous solid waste. All materials to be disposed of in other than a sanitary landfill must be kept segregated at the project site from those materials which are allowed only in a sanitary landfill.

a. Reuse (diversion): First consideration of waste shall be given to salvage for reuse to be used in the original form. Sale or donation of waste suitable for reuse shall be considered. Salvaged materials shall not be used in this project unless approved by the CO. Materials defined as “recovered materials” are excluded from regulation as solid wastes.

b. Recycling (diversion): Waste material not suitable for reuse but having value as a recyclable material shall be recycled by the Government, whenever practical and economically feasible.

Materials destined for recycling must meet the definition of non-hazardous wastes under federal/state solid waste regulations. Recyclable metal materials shall remain the property of the government and be recycled through the Robins AFB Qualified Recycling Program (QRP). To coordinate removal/collection of scrap wire and metal, please contact the QRP Operations Manager

Darryl Mercer at (478) 327-3976 or the Scrap Metal Yard Manager at (478) 283-6542. Note: Scrap metal that is recycled/reclaimed is exempt from HW requirements.

c. Sanitary Landfill (disposal): All solid waste may be disposed of in a sanitary landfill properly licensed by the State of Georgia. Provide proof that any Georgia municipal solid waste disposal facility receiving Robins AFB waste is operated by someone who has obtained the certification required by the Georgia Solid Waste Management Act, O.C.G.A. 12-8-24.1. If a landfill other than Houston

County Landfill is used, provide a copy of the landfill license.

i. If the presence of lead based paint, asbestos, or other hazardous materials are suspected, an analysis of the suspected material shall be performed by a certified lab approved by the

State. If the Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) results for lead are greater than

5 mg/L, the waste shall be disposed of as hazardous waste in a Subtitle C permitted facility --not a Subtitle D permitted facility such as the Houston County Landfill. If the lab analysis for asbestos is positive, the permission for landfill disposal is required and waste must be dispositioned through the Special Waste Acceptance Application (SWAA) process. Houston

County Landfill currently does not require a SWAA if there is no presence of lead based paint, asbestos, or other non-hazardous Special Waste or hazardous materials suspected.

ii. SWAA Process: The results of the tests/lab analysis as well as the completed top and middle portion of the SWAA must be submitted to 78 CEG/CEIEC Solid Waste Program Manager for approval and signature. The 78 CEG/CEIEC Solid Waste Program Manager will be the signing authority as the generator on the SWAA form. 78 CEG/CEIEC will email the completed form to the County’s landfill consultant for disposal acceptance/approval and for issuance of

Special Waste Profile Number. The Special Waste Profile Number must be used on the

Waste Shipment Tracking Document. The Waste Shipment Tracking Document and SWAA are both attached at the end of the document. Allow a minimum of three working days for

78 CEG/CEIEC to process the SWAA form and to obtain the profile number. The 78

CEG/CEIEC Solid Waste Program Manager will issue the completed SWAA back to the contractor via email. The Contractor must certify that no hazardous waste was introduced into the waste while in their custody. The contractor must provide a Waste Shipment

Tracking Document with each disposal load when required by Houston County. These forms must also be included in contract documents.

d. Inert Waste Landfill (disposal): Materials not likely to cause production of leachate of environmental concern may be disposed of in an inert waste landfill. Only earth and earth-like products, concrete, cured asphalt concrete, rock, bricks, yard trimmings, and land clearing debris such as stumps, limbs, and leaves are acceptable for disposal in an inert waste landfill. A copy of the written notice of commencement of operation by the landfill as given to the GA EPD and a copy of the landfill license or permit by rule letter issued by the GA EPD must be provided to the Base

Engineering Division (78 CEG/CEN) Project Manager and maintained in the contract documents.

The weights of inert waste disposed in the landfill must be documented in the monthly waste management report, provided to the 78 CEG/CEN Project Manager, and then forwarded to the 78

CEG/CEIEC Solid Waste Program Manager.

e. Construction/Demolition Disposal Site (disposal): Materials will be recycled where practical.

Recyclable metal materials (scrap metal, wire, motors, etc.) shall remain the property of the government and will be recycled through the Robins AFB QRP. To coordinate removal/collection of scrap metal materials, please contact the QRP Operations Manager Darryl Mercer at (478) 327-3976 or the Scrap Metal Yard Manager at (478) 283-6542. Note: Scrap metal that is recycled/reclaimed is exempt from HW requirements.

f. Other construction and demolition (C&D) waste that are included in the Base Qualified Recycling

Program, including but not limited to wood, paper, used oil, and cardboard must be recycled through the base recycling program. Wastes that are recyclable, but not included in the Base

Qualified Recycling Program, including but not limited to concrete, asphalt, etc. are encouraged to be recycled by the Contractor. Materials that can go in an inert waste landfill may be recycled according the rules of the State of Georgia, disposed of in an inert landfill, or lastly in the landfill. If the wastes are being disposed of at a landfill other than the Houston County Landfill, provide the landfill license to the 78 CEG/CEN Project Manager. Refer to Section 2.1.4 regarding proper reporting of disposal and recycling (weights). For construction and demolition wastes, a minimum of 60 percent by weight of the total project solid waste shall be diverted from the landfill.

g. Solid Waste Disposal Outside of Georgia: No solid waste can be disposed of outside the state of

Georgia without prior written approval of the CO. The contractor shall provide sufficient information as determined by the CO to allow verification of compliance with the law.

2.1.4 Reporting of Disposal and Recycling: Robins AFB is required to report the amount (weight) of solid waste and C&D debris which is dispositioned by reuse, recycle, or disposal. Each month, the Contractor shall record the amounts of reused, recycled, and disposed materials on the Waste Management Report

(attached at the end of the document). Weights shall be cumulative from the start of each month and shall reflect the total amount of material disposed or recycled during the month. The re port should reflect the method of disposal for the material generated from the project. Weights of material disposed of in a sanitary or C&D landfill shall be reported based on the weight tickets. Material disposed of in other types of landfills, which do not have weight scales, may be estimated. The weight of materials reused and or recycled may be estimated. Use a good faith effort to obtain the most accurate estimate possible. The

Contractor shall also provide the cost to landfill or divert/recycle the C&D debris on the Waste Management

Report. A copy of the Waste Management Report shall be turned in to the 78 CEG/CEN Project Manager by the 5th of the following month and prior to final payment. The 78 CEG/CEN Project Manager shall forward the Waste Management Report to the 78 CEG/CEIEC Solid Waste Program Manager and/or QRP Manager.

2.1.5 Submittals, Notifications, and Approvals: The following submittals, notifications, and approvals are required to maintain compliance:

a. Solid Waste Disposal Plan: The Contractor shall provide information or a Solid Waste Disposal Plan stating how all materials leaving Robins AFB shall be disposed of and recycled. Information shall include actions that will be taken to reduce solid waste generation, specific approaches to be used in recycling/reuse of materials, and waste management and storage information.

i. The Contractor shall manage, dispose, and recycle all materials in compliance with all Federal, State of Georgia, and local laws. The Contractor shall address the disposal of each item in

Sections 2.1.1 through 2.2.8 as applicable. Non-hazardous solid waste shall be broken down into individual types, i.e., asphalt, concrete, wood, brick, etc. to facilitate recycling of recovered materials.

ii. Provide a copy of the information or the Solid Waste Disposal Plan to the CO and to the 78

CEG/CEN Project Manager. The 78 CEG/CEN Project Manager will forward to 78 CEG/CEIEC prior to review and approval.

iii. Identify each landfill and recycler to be used. A copy of all landfill permits shall be provided unless the Houston County landfill is used.

iv. Provide a copy of a Solid Waste Handling Permit or permit-by-rule letter, issued by GA EPD, which allows the Contractor to handle solid wastes, including solid waste collection and transportation. A copy of the EPD permit-by-rule letter is required for the inert waste landfill being used.

v. Establish and maintain a Daily Waste Disposal and Recycling Log. Each load of materials that leaves Robins AFB shall be accounted for in the log. The log shall list the load number, bill of sale number/date or other record for recycling, as well as the name of the contract employee who verified that the material was disposed of properly, along with details as to how verification was accomplished.

vi. Keep evidence of proper disposal and recycling of construction debris as well as provide this evidence to the 78 CEG/CEN Project Manager. Examples of evidence include dump tickets from a licensed sanitary landfill, copies of current landfill permits from the State of Georgia (unless

Houston County landfill is used), manifest, bill of sale, or other record for recycling. The evidence shall be obtained the workday after the load is carried off and provided by the 5th of each month on the Waste Management Report.

vii. Prior to final payment, 78 CEG/CEIEC Solid Waste Program Manager must have received all monthly waste tracking reports. Attach a copy or duplicate of the Waste Shipment Tracking

Document for each load transported for disposal and recycling.

b. Building Demolition: Submit copies of GA EPD demolition notification to CO and the 78 CEG/CEN

Project Manager. The 78 CEG/CEN Project Manager will forward to the 78 CEG/CEIEC Solid Waste

Program Manager 15 days prior to starting work and prior to submittal to the GA EPD for review, and submit final copies with copy of any payment made to GA EPD.

2.2 SPECIAL WASTES OR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

2.2.1 General: The Contractor must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local requirements concerning use of hazardous materials and hazardous waste. If there should be a conflict between environmental regulation/ordinances/statues and the contract’s specifications, the contractor shall, in writing, contact the

CO for a written determination. Disposal of all non-hazardous Special Wastes, such as asbestos, requires submittal of a SWAA to obtain a Profile Number for use on the Waste Shipment Tracking Document as described in 2.1.3.c.

2.2.2 Hazardous Waste: Hazardous Waste is defined as waste meeting the requirements of 40 CFR 261.3. 78

CEG/CEIER Hazardous Waste Program Manager makes all hazardous waste determinations for waste generated on Robins AFB. The Contractor must provide all data necessary to determine the regulatory status of waste to 78 CEG/CEIER. Activities requiring large quantities of disposal must be coordinated prior to beginning work in order to ensure a sufficient number of hazardous waste containers are available. The

Contractor must ensure personnel have completed hazardous waste training prior to generating hazardous waste. All hazardous and universal wastes generated on Robins AFB must be disposed of through 78

CEG/CEIER at building 359. Direct all inquiries to the 78 CEG/CEIER Hazardous Waste Program Manager.

a. Paints, sealants, solvents, rags, or any other hazardous material(s) destined for disposal must be managed as a hazardous waste unless they have been determined not to be via Safety Data Sheet

(SDS) or laboratory sampling. 78 CEG/CEIER is the only organization authorized to make a hazardous waste determination.

b. Waste generated from the project itself (e.g. lead-based paint removed from walls, contaminated soil, sludge from tank cleaning, etc.) must be turned-in to Building 359 for disposal.

c. High-intensity discharge (HID) and fluorescent lamps and tubes or switches containing mercury must be recycled as universal waste. Labeled containers must be requested through 78 CEG/CEIER at building 359 prior to job start.

d. Batteries used in emergency and exit lights that contain lead must be recycled. These batteries must be turned-in to building 359 with no cost for disposal.

e. Disposal Procedures for Hazardous and Universal Waste:

i. Payment for waste disposal will be made through the property/building organizations

Department of Defense Activity Address Code (DODAAC) account. Since all regulated wastes must be disposed of through DLA-DS, a valid DODAAC is essential to prevent contract operation delays. This step must be completed prior to requesting waste containers and labels.

2.2.7 Hazardous Materials (HazMat):

a. HazMat Definition: The term HazMat includes all items (including medical supply items, but excluding drugs in their finished form and pharmaceuticals in individually-issued items) covered under Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (or other federal, state, or local) tracking requirement, the OSHA Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) Standard, and all Class I and

Class II ODS. It does not include munitions or hazardous waste.

b. HazMat Exceptions: The OSHA HAZCOM Standard [29 CFR 1910.1200(b)(6)(ix)] excludes “Any consumer product or hazardous substance, as those terms are defined in the Consumer Product

Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2051 et seq.) and Federal Hazardous Substances Act (15 U.S.C. 1261 et seq.)

respectively, where the employer can show that it is used in the workplace for the purpose intended by the chemical manufacturer or importer of the product, and the use results in a duration and frequency of exposure which is not greater than the range of exposures that could reasonab ly be experienced by consumers when used for the purpose intended.” OSHA further states in a 14 April

2005 interpretation letter that office cleaning products utilized with the same frequency and duration as that of a normal consumer would fall under the HAZCOM Standard exemption for consumer products in 29 CFR 1910.1200(b)(6)(ix). Based on the OSHA HAZCOM Standard exemption, consumer products that are used at Robins AFB in such a way that the duration and frequency of use are the same as that of a consumer are not required to be included in the employer’s HAZCOM program. If unsure if the item meets the exemption, contact the HazMat Cell

(78ceg.cev.hazmat@us.af.mil).

c. Lead Acid Batteries: OSHA determined that lead acid batteries are hazardous chemicals because of their potential chemical exposure risks and physical hazards. As a result, lead acid batteries are classified as HazMat and do not fall under the article exemption because they have the potential to leak, spill or break during normal conditions of use.
