1.16 Environmental Compliance: Contractor will comply with all Federal and Local environmental compliance requirements.

1.16.1 Environmental Compliance Plan and Program: The Environmental Compliance Plan (ECP) has been created specifically for the Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD), Modernization of Enterprise Terminal (MET) antenna installation and de-installation procedures. The MET projects executed by TYAD are minimally invasive in that there is typically no disturbance of earth, modification of existing stormwater features, or use of any procedures that have the potential to cause air pollution. Throughout the installation and de-installation processes work crews will utilize hand tools, battery operated tools, corded power tools, gas powered saws and generators, welding equipment, and oxyacetylene torches. All tools are to be utilized in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. Torch cutting will be performed in accordance with site specific requirements for burn permits, fire watch, etc. Power generating equipment may either be diesel or gasoline fueled. When powered equipment of this nature is utilized, no more than 5 gallons of fuel will be stored onsite (separate from the equipment’s onboard tank) in order to minimize spill potential. In the event of a spill, the site specific POC will be notified immediately in addition to any onsite emergency personnel. The appropriate names and methods of contact (phone numbers/email addresses) will be determined for each site prior to deployment and will be posted in the job trailer onsite.

Typical construction chemicals such as WD-40, Loctite, Anti-seize, etc. are used in limited quantities (1 gallon or less) for projects of this nature. When limited quantities of these typical construction items are present, special environmental regulations are not required. Site surveys are performed prior to installation/de-installation in which environmentally sensitive areas such as storm water inlets, drainage swales, etc. are located. In the event these items are located in close proximity to our work areas specialized precautions will be utilized to prevent any jobsite runoff from entering these elements. TYAD may perform (in concert with site specific authority having jurisdiction) diking, damming, and filtering accordingly to maintain appropriate level of protection as deemed necessary on a site-specific basis.
