1.0 GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENT: The contractor is expected to be knowledgeable with all Federal, State and local environmental laws and the impact of these laws on their work procedures. The Contractor shall minimize environmental pollution and damage or potential damage that may result from their operations. Environmental resources within the project boundaries and those affected outside the limits of work shall be protected for the duration of the contract. The Contractor will be responsible for work delay resulting from failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations. Failure to comply with environmental requirements is not grounds for an equitable adjustment. The Contractor shall confine all activities to areas defined by the design drawings and specifications. The Contractor shall be responsible for the actions of all subcontractors to ensure they adhere to all environmental requirements. The Army's goal is to have no enforcement actions at any installation. The contractor's actions and support are absolutely essential to achieve this goal at on the United States Army Garrison – Detroit Arsenal (USAG - DTA). In the event the USAG - DTA is issued an enforcement action, the Contractor shall be liable for the cost of all fines and penalties resulting from the violation of any laws due to their actions or failure to perform In Accordance With (IAW) Federal, State or local environmental requirements. Also the contractor shall be responsible to reimburse the Government for all expenses incurred because of the receipt of any enforcement actions. The contractor is responsible to insure that all subcontractors adhere to all environmental requirements. The contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) if any actual environmental issues are encountered or potential environmental issues may be encountered.

2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS ORDER OF PRECEDENCE: The

order of precedence for application of environmental requirements as part of the contract is as follows:

a. Standard Environmental Protection Requirements contained within Appendix A apply to either Statements of Work or Technical Specifications as found in Section C of the contract.

b. Those Project Specific Environmental Protection Requirements that are linked by the Environmental Impact Analysis or Environmental Assessment and corresponding work order number/contract award number to Appendix A supersedes these Standard Environmental Protection Requirements contained herein, as appropriate.

c. Modifications to the contract as approved by the Contracting Officer where those modifications specifically address and thereby replace either those parts of these Standard Environmental Protection Requirements or Project Specific Environmental Protection Requirements for this project.

d. Environmental Protection Requirements as contained within Section H of the contract.

e. Environmental Protection Requirements as contained in Section I of the contract.

3.0 DEVIATION OR CHANGE OF SCOPE: Any deviation or change from the originally reviewed and approved project scope of work and associated construction design plans that may result in an increase in environmental impacts, such change will subject the project to a new or supplemental Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) by the Installation’s Environmental Officer.

In addition, the following requirements must be applied:

a. Notification. Where such a change or deviation is planned or as a result of conditions or circumstances encountered during the course of project execution, the Environmental Officer must be immediately notified;

notification may originate from the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer Representative.

b. Permits. If as a result of a change or deviation from the reviewed and approved project scope and associated construction plans it is determined by the Environmental Officer that regulatory permits are required, no work that would result in a violation of Federal, State, or local environmental laws and regulations is allowed to occur until all necessary permits and approvals are received.

c. Permit Amendments. Where permits have been issued, and planned or circumstantial changes are required in the project scope and construction design plan, no work that would result in a violation of Federal, State, or local environmental laws and regulations is allowed to occur until all necessary permit amendments are received. Under this condition, the Environmental Officer must be immediately notified; notification may originate from the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer Representative.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PLAN: The contractor shall write an Environmental Protection Plan that will outline the procedures and controls, to include who is responsible for compliance. The contractor will establish and maintain procedures to assure all workers and subcontractors protect the environment.

7.0 AIR QUALITY

a. Outdoor Air:

1) General Conformity Rule (GCR): All Army actions (projects, events, etc.) on this installation must be considered under the GCR, due to the fact we’re in a non-attainment area. For all exterior construction, renovation or land disturbance projects, an applicability analysis must be performed which calculates and compares all direct and indirect emissions of the action to the de minimis threshold values of the non-attainment area. A copy of the analysis shall be turned into the Air Quality Manager.

2) Emissions:

a) The DTA's air emissions are restricted. The DTA is currently located in a Non-Attainment Area for ozone and particulate matter (PM) 2.5 as defined by the EPA. The EPA has the authority to change this at any time, based on emissions in the Southeastern Michigan regional area.

b) The Detroit Arsenal (DTA) has been issued a synthetic minor air permit from the State of Michigan permit for all emissions at the

c) Ozone and PM 2.5 Actions Alerts are forecast by the Clean Air Coalition's meteorology team under a number of factors that include meteorological conditions like temperature, wind speed, direction, cloud cover and ultraviolet radiation. The team also considers the likelihood of ozone transport from other areas and expected emissions from regional sources. While there are no legally binding requirements to reduce emissions that could reduce ground level ozone, the contractor should be cognizant of the actions they can take to reduce emissions that contribute to ozone development.

Ozone and PM 2.5 Action Alerts address the importance of preventing the formation of ground-level ozone and protecting public health.

Alternatives Program (SNAP) are acceptable. No equipment using HCFC 141b shall be used. It should be noted, however, that HCFC 142b and HCFC 22 shall be phased out in 2020.

d) All HCFCs shall be phased out in 2030 respectively and not recommended for use or future liability.

e) Only equipment using refrigerants listed by the EPA Strategic New Alternatives Program (SNAP) are acceptable. Equipment must be labeled with type of chemical used and date installed.

f) As-built drawings shall include location of equipment, installation date, and type of refrigerant used.

The Waste Management Plan shall be developed by the contractor and shall outline how all C&D materials generated will be handled for disposal and recycling. Section 01 74 19 paragraph 1.6 of the Unified Facilities Guide Specifications outlines the requirements of the Waste Management Plan.

3) The contractor shall recycle sixty percent (60%) of all C&D waste generated from the project. Cost effectiveness will need to be considered to meet these requirements.
