Pollution Prevention Plan that addresses erosion and sediment control is a primary condition of this permit. Forward copies of the SWPPP and NOI to 90 CES/CEIE at least fourteen (14) days prior to start of construction activities.

4.8. Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) – If a stormwater permit is not required for the construction to be undertaken, the contractors shall still consider stormwater impacts. The impacts shall consider erosion and sediment controls, concrete washout areas (if applicable) to prevent unnecessary stomrwater runoff and contamination from the site.

4.9. Low Impact Development (LID) – Section 438 of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) requires all federal facility projects greater than 5,000 square feet to “maintain or restore, to the maximum extent technically feasible, the predevelopment hydrology of the property with regard to the temperature, rate, volume, and duration of flow.” This does not include renovations of existing facilities. In order to comply with this requirement, any contractor performing work on FEW shall ensure there is no net increase of storm water discharge from the site upon completion of any new project. The contractor shall show justification(s) of no net increase of storm water discharge by submitting relevant documentations and/or calculations for review and approval to 90

CES/CEIE prior to 100% design review submittal. Low-Impact

Developments (LIDs) should be incorporated into any new construction projects when possible and on-site water should be retained if feasible in order to comply with the rules and regulations.

4.10. Septic Systems In Missile Field – Any alteration or

construction related to a wastewater system in the missile field

(lagoon or septic system) shall be coordinated through the appropriate county and state if the work occurs in Wyoming or

Colorado. For upgrades in Nebraska, the installers should comply with the regulations issued by the State of Nebraska. Copies of applicable permits, Notices to Proceed, or other approval correspondence shall be provided to 90 CES/CEIE.

4.11. Water Supply Distribution System

4.11.1. Water Lines Repairs - Any repair or alteration to a

water system, including but not limited to, a water main break or any work that has the potential to induce pressure loss in

Environmental Protection Page 17 the system, the contractors shall make every effort to conduct the repair while maintaining positive pressure (greater than or equal to 20 psi) or implement BMPs, including those set forth in American Water Works Association (AWWA) Standard C651

(Disinfecting Water Mains) Section 4.7. If the water main is partially/completely dewatered, bacteriological sampling is required. The contractor shall coordinate with 90 MDOS/SGOJ prior to the bacteriological sampling to determine if a boil water advisory should be issued. The sample(s) shall be sent to a laboratory that is certified for analysis. The contractor shall submit results to 90 CES/CEIE and 90 MDOS/SGOJ for review and approval prior to occupants’ use of the water system.

4.11.2. Installation of New Water Lines – Contractors shall

install new water lines in accordance with AWWA Standard C651.

Contractors shall be required to sample newly installed water lines for bacteriological analyses prior to operation of the line. Two consecutive sets of acceptable total coliform samples, taken at least 24 hours apart, will be required. The samples shall be sent to a laboratory that is certified for analysis. Contractors shall submit laboratory results to 90

CES/CEIE and 90 MDOS/SGOJ for review and approval. The analyses must yield negative results for approval to commence operation of the new water line.

5. EROSION, SEDIMENT CONTROLS, AND WETLANDS

5.1. Wetlands – Contractors shall not enter, disturb, destroy, place fill into, or allow discharge of contaminants into any wetlands without written authorization. The contractor is responsible for protecting wetlands on FEW. Authorization to enter wetlands shall not relieve the contractor from any obligation to protect other wetlands within, adjacent to, or in the vicinity of the construction site and associated boundaries. The contractor is responsible for applying for and obtaining Section 404 permits from the USACE. A copy of the permit shall be provided to 90

CES/CEIE. Maps showing locations of wetlands within FEW can be obtained from 90 CES/CEIE.

5.2. Erosion and Sediment Control - Contractors shall be responsible for providing erosion and sediment control measures in accordance with Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. The erosion and sediment controls selected and maintained by the contractor shall be such that water quality standards are not violated as a result of the contractor’s construction activities. The area of bare soil exposed at any one time by construction operations should be kept to a minimum. The contractor shall construct or install temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control BMPs.

Examples of BMPs include, but are not be limited to vegetation cover, stream bank stabilization, slope stabilization, silt fences, construction of terraces, interceptor channels, sediment

Environmental Protection Page 18 traps, inlet and outfall protection, diversion channels, and sedimentation basins. The contractor’s BMPs shall also be in accordance with the base SWPPP, which may be reviewed at 90

CES/CEIE, Bldg. 321. Any temporary measures shall be removed after the area has been stabilized. All control measures shall be removed by the contractor upon 70% vegetation re-establishment.

Prior to performing any demolition or construction, contractors must employ the services of a certified industrial hygienist (CIH) or certified asbestos building inspector to conduct sampling and analysis of any suspected ACM.

Testing locations and sample quantities are up to the professional discretion of the inspector. Copies of surveys and laboratory results shall be given to the Toxics Program Manager at 90

CES/CEIE prior to the commencement of any work activities. In the event that ACM is discovered, additional funding will be sought by the government to conduct a formal abatement of the hazardous materials.

Paint: Existing painted surfaces may contain LBP. For facilities constructed prior to 1981, it must be presumed that paint coatings contain lead unless survey data indicates otherwise. Limited survey information is available through 90 CES/CEIE. If survey data is insufficient or no survey data is available for FEW facilities, it will be the responsibility of the contractor to either perform a partial or full inspection of the facility at their own cost included in the contract documents or presume that all painted surfaces are LBP. Copies of surveys performed by the contractor shall be given to the Toxics Program Manager at 90
