This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for chemical waste collection and disposal services required for the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) / Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) project operated by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), managed by Fermi Forward Discovery Group (FFDG) for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. The subcontractor shall provide comprehensive chemical waste collection, transportation, and disposal services from the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota to approved Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs). Services include waste characterization, preparation of Land Disposal Restriction (LDR) Notification Forms and Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifests in compliance with RCRA and DOT regulations, coordination of waste transportation, and provision of final disposition documentation. Work shall be performed Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. local time, excluding recognized federal holidays. Waste streams encompass 18 categories including oil-contaminated solvents, chromium-contaminated wastewater, lead-contaminated solids, PCB capacitors, universal wastes, electronic waste, concentrated acids and caustics, aerosol spray cans, flammable liquids, and miscellaneous hazardous and nonhazardous materials. No minimum or maximum waste volumes are guaranteed; services shall be performed on an as-needed basis. FFDG will coordinate chemical waste shipments approximately every 180 calendar days.
The subcontractor must comply with 10 CFR Part 851 (DOE Worker Safety and Health Program), 29 CFR 1910 (OSHA Standards), ACGIH Threshold Limit Values (2016), and all applicable federal, state, and local environmental and transportation regulations. Personnel shall complete FFDG-provided orientation/GERT training (1 hour) and subcontractor-provided training in Lead (OSHA 1926.62) and Powered Industrial Trucks (OSHA 1910 Subpart N). The subcontractor must provide all labor, supervision, materials, tools, equipment, and transportation costs. PPE requirements include Type II safety helmets with chin straps, safety glasses, reflective Class II clothing, safety toe boots above the ankle, hearing protection, and cut level 4 gloves. A Quality Control Program with designated Quality Control representative is required, and a dedicated Quality Control Manager may be required at FFDG's discretion. All deliverables must be submitted electronically in searchable PDF format identified by Purchase Order number, including personnel training certifications, waste profiles and analyses, manifests, container information, transportation compliance documents, shipment notifications, disposal confirmations, TSDF confirmations, and invoicing documentation with supporting disposal certificates.

Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) / Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) - US Page 1-3
1 Introduction
1.1 Background
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) at the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) was borne out of the 2014 U.S. Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) recommendations. The recommendations called for formation of a truly international collaboration for constructing a US-based long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment with a powerful neutrino beam (~MW scale), a massive liquid argon TPC (40 kt) sited several hundred kilometers downstream of the neutrino source and deep underground, and a smaller detector just downstream of the beamline. Together these elements will have the capability to unambiguously determine the neutrino mass ordering, search for CP violation in the lepton sector, search for proton decay, and observe neutrinos from core collapse supernovae.
The LBNF/DUNE-US Project is the DOE-funded construction project to create the facility and contribute US scope to the international DUNE Collaboration. The major participants in the overall LBNF/DUNE enterprise are the international DUNE collaboration, the LBNF/DUNE-US construction project, the DOE, international funding agencies, Fermilab (in Batavia, Illinois) as the host laboratory, and the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF, in Lead, South Dakota), where the far detector will be located.
Figure 1 illustrates the general underground work area at the SURF (far) site.
1.2 Purpose of SOW
The objective of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to ensure regulatory compliance in chemical waste removal, transport and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.
