About this file
This is a General Environmental Protection Requirements specification section for construction work at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) in Ohio, dated December 2020.
The specification establishes comprehensive environmental compliance requirements for contractors performing work at WPAFB, administered by the 88th Civil Engineer Group Environmental Branch (88 CEG/CEIE). Key requirements include: designation of a primary and alternate environmental coordinator; completion of RCRA training within 15 days of Notice to Proceed; submission of multiple environmental permits and plans including Erosion Control Plans, Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP), Sanitary/Wastewater Permits to Install, and Drinking Water Plans Approval; management of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and ozone-depleting substances (ODS) in accordance with federal and Ohio regulations; establishment of Initial Accumulation Points (IAP) for hazardous waste storage with specific container labeling and secondary containment requirements; procurement of products containing recycled and biobased content with quarterly reporting on waste diversion; implementation of spill prevention and response procedures for hazardous materials; proper handling and documentation of refrigerant recovery; compliance with particulate matter and air quality standards; and compliance with storage tank requirements for both aboveground and underground tanks. Additional requirements address protection of water and land resources, cultural resources and inadvertent discovery procedures, natural resources including tree removal timing restrictions, and projects within the Huffman Retarding Basin administered by the Miami Conservancy District. The contractor must obtain government approval for multiple submittals and maintain documentation throughout the project lifecycle, with final closeout submittals including Green Products Determination Forms and storage tank inspection reports.
