1. Air Pollution Control The contractor must control fugitive emissions, including dust, during the course of their contract. The contractor must obtain approval from the Environmental Branch (EB) prior to exhausting equipment to the outside. The contractor must not allow any pollutant or particulate matter to be released to the atmosphere at levels that are visible from outside of Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD). The contractor must not perform work that will release pollutants or particulate matter to the atmosphere when the wind speed exceeds ten miles per hour and will result in adverse effects to the surrounding areas.

TYAD will monitor the wind speed; it is the contractor’s responsibility to obtain wind speed information through the Contracting Officer Representative (COR).

2. Asbestos The contractor must ensure that all materials used in the performance of this contract are asbestos-free. Unless specified in the contract, the contractor must not disturb any existing Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM) in the performance of this contract. If ACM, or suspect ACM might be disturbed in performance of this contract, the contractor must avoid coming in contact with the material and immediately notify the COR and the Contract Administrator in writing. The COR must coordinate with EB to have the material tested to determine if there is ACM. If the material is determined to be ACM and the contractor cannot avoid disturbing the material, the COR will notify the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer will direct a change pursuant to the contract clauses entitled “Changes” and “Differing Site Conditions.” If ACM, or suspect ACM has been disturbed, the contractor must immediately notify the COR and call the EB. The contractor will shut down and not move any equipment or supplies near the damaged ACM. The contractor will evacuate all non-contaminated contractor personnel from the immediate vicinity. Any contractor personnel thought to be contaminated with asbestos must remain in the area until the EB responds. If the damaged material is determined to be ACM and there is potential for further damage, the Contracting Officer will direct a change pursuant to the clauses of the contract clauses entitled “Changes” and “Differing Site Conditions.”

Asbestos abatement required under the contract as originally awarded must be in accordance with United Facilities Guide Specification 02 83 14 00 10 and as otherwise required in the contract. Asbestos abatement not required under the contract as originally awarded, can be incorporated into the existing contract via contract modification, or by the Government taking responsibility for the asbestos abatement.

The method of acquiring the abatement is at the discretion of the Government. The contractor must have an asbestos abatement work plan that has been approved by EB prior to beginning any asbestos abatement work.

3. Backflow The contractor shall have a backflow prevention device installed on all contractor equipment that is connected to Tobyhanna Army Depot’s (TYAD) water distribution system.

Recovered Material Certification: As required by the RCRA, the contractor must certify that the percentage of recovered materials to be used in the performance of the contract will be at least the amount required by the applicable contract specifications (see Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Provision 52.223-4, Recovered Material Certification). Prior to application for final payment, the contractor must provide a report in accordance with FAR Clause 52.223-9, Estimate of Percentage of Recovered Material Content for Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Designated Items, to the Contracting Office. Compliance with this program does not relieve the contractor from meeting all other specification requirements.

Cultural Resources The contractor must not adversely affect any property listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) or properties eligible for inclusion on the NRHP without consultation and approval from the EB through the COR. If there is a discovery of any historic properties, including archeological sites and graveyards, work will cease immediately until requirements of National Historic Preservation Act, as amended, have been met. All archaeological artifacts found at TYAD or TYAD-controlled properties are U. S. Government property until a determination is made otherwise.
