Repair (restore) Storm Water Drainage 1200 Area, AF Form 813 continuation sheet

4.0 Purpose and Need for Action:

The purpose of the proposed action is to repair and replace the failed stormwater system components in the 1200 area.

The action is needed to reduce the flooding around the 1200 area whenever there is a heavy rain event.

5.0 Description of the Proposed Action and Alternatives (DOPAA):

The proposed action will consist of removing and replacing the existing pipes, cleaning silt and sand from structures and pipe, removing and regrading swales and other sites damaged by past construction activities. No additional paving or impervious surfaces is included in the project.

Approximately 4700-ft of old piping will be removed and new piping will installed. The new piping may be trenched 4-ft deep X 4-ft wide. An estimated 250,000-sf of land may be regraded.

Any soil removed during the installation of new conduit may be redistributed on site. All swales and site work will have 4" of topsoil and sod restoration.

No Action Alternative: Status Quo. If the Status Quo is maintained, the 1200 Area will continue to flood during inclement weather.

5.1 Anticipated Environmental Issues:

None anticipated

5.2 Environmental Impacts:

AICUZ/ Noise:

The proposed actions would result in a localized and temporary increase in noise levels due to construction and demolition. This noise is not expected to be significant. The proposed action would not significantly contribute to the noise levels of the area

Air Quality:

Tyndall AFB is in an attainment area for National Ambient Air Quality Standard. The FESOP permit for Tyndall AFB will not be violated by the implementation of the proposed project.

Temporary minor exhaust emissions would occur in the immediate vicinity of the construction.

Fugitive dust would be controlled at the sites using best management practices (BMPs), such as periodic watering of cleared areas and stockpiled materials and mulching or vegetative cover for the cleared areas.

Many operations are subject to specific air quality regulations. State-specific emission standards are identified in Chapter 62-296 of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). Florida regulates hazardous air pollutants (HAP) in accordance with the National Emissions Standards for

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR): Part 61 is regulation by HAP and Part 63 is regulation by industrial category. There are also federal New Source Performance Standards specified for criteria air pollutants in Title 40, Part 60 of the

CFR.

Permits are required for operations subject to applicable regulations or that emit air pollutants in sufficient quantities to warrant regulation. Projects utilizing regulated equipment are required to obtain permits prior to beginning construction on new emissions units, modifying an existing emissions unit or installing air pollution control equipment. These permits will specify applicable emissions standards and work practices to control the emissions of pollutants such as particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, volatile organic compounds, and hazardous air pollutants.

If concrete pipe is to be cut, recycled, or reused, it shall be tested for the presence of asbestos containing material.

ACAM modeling was performed, based off the results the air quality in the area would not be significantly impacted by the proposed project; therefore a conformity determination is not required.

Water Resources:

Coordination with the NWFWMD and/or the FDEP will be required prior to design. The project is proposed to modify/impact previously permitted stormwater basins. Please reference project number 473 and 473.01. Additional permitting would be required through the state as well as potentially through the USACE.

Although the project does appear to alleviate some issues, a regional system and/or new stormwater pond which was previously discussed on the south side of Beacon Beach would be preferred to incorporate in this project to resolve all issues. Modifying the conveyance system alone will not resolve all issues. The overall system is undersized and needs larger capacity areas to address flooding. Conveying the water somewhere else will only cause flooding of adjacent areas.

Best management practices for erosion control shall be implemented prior to construction activities and maintained at all times during construction to prevent siltation and turbid discharges. Install erosion control measures along the perimeter of all work areas to prevent the displacement of fill material outside the work area into waters of the United States. Immediately after completion of the final grading of the land surface, all slopes, land surfaces, and filled areas shall be stabilized using appropriate vegetation, degradable mats, barriers, or a combination of similar stabilizing materials to prevent erosion. Methods could also include, but are not limited to the use of staked hay bales, staked filter cloth, sodding, seeding, and mulching; staged construction; and the installation of turbidity screens around the immediate project site. Identify and cover Stormwater structures using protection devices before performing any work. Devices must remain in place until all work is complete and the area has been cleaned and free of construction potential discharges. The erosion control measures shall remain in place and be maintained until all work is completed and the work areas are stabilized.

There shall be no work, storage, or stockpiling of tools, materials (i.e. lumber, pilings, debris) within wetlands, ditches, swales, or elsewhere within waters of the state unless authorized by permit. All stormwater conveyance structures shall remain in operable condition and shall not be allowed to deteriorate or otherwise contribute to a water quality violation. Construction activities shall be conducted in a manner that does not cause or contribute to violations of state water quality standards.

An FDEP permit maybe required for the installation, maintenance, repair, and removal of underground utility lines, cable, conduit, or pipeline transmitting electricity, communication signals, potable water, raw water, reclaimed water, domestic wastewater, propane gas or natural gas. 62-330.453 within the Florida Administrative Code dictates that a General Permit is needed for Installation, Maintenance, Repair, and Removal of Utility Lines that cross a regulated surface of the state. In this case the ditches/swales maybe considered a regulated surface water.

All electric, gas, water, sewer, and other services lines should be shut off, capped, or otherwise properly controlled, at or outside the building before demolition work is started. In each case, any utility company that is involved should be notified in advance, and its approval or services, if necessary, shall be obtained. Coordinate with the 325 CES/CEIEC, GCEC, and Bioenvironmental regarding flushing and water quality sampling prior to and after performing any work.

If it is necessary to maintain any power, water, sewer, or other utilities during demolition, such lines shall be temporarily relocated as necessary and/or protected. The location of all power sources should also be determined, as they can prove especially hazardous during any machine demolition. All workers should be informed of the location of any existing or relocated utility service. Coordinate with the 325 CES/CEIC, GCEC, and Bioenvironmental regarding flushing and water quality sampling prior to and after performing any work.

All material used as fill shall be clean sand/fill dirt/shell material and shall not be contaminated with vegetation, garbage, trash, tires, hazardous waste, or other materials that are not suitable for construction.

A Construction Generic Permit (CGP)/Notice of Intent (NOI) will be required from the FDEP. Any act or process of developing or improving land, including demolition and renovation activity, which involves the disturbance of soils not limited to, clearing, grading, and excavation that reaches an acre of total disturbed area would require the CGP. This permit is different than an ERP. This permit does include dewatering. If dewatering is needed, please coordinate with the 325 CES/CEIEC, additional permits maybe required.

UFC 3-201-01 – Civil Engineering provides planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization criteria, and applies to the Military Departments, the Defense Agencies, and the DoD Field Activities in accordance with USD (AT&L) Memorandum dated 29 May 2002. This UFC will be used for all DoD projects and work for other customers where appropriate.

Section 3-3.2 – Erosion and Sediment Control states “Design erosion and sediment controls that minimize the discharge of pollutants from earth disturbing activities in conformance with the applicable requirements of the regulatory agency with jurisdiction over the Installation regarding erosion and sediment control. Where requirements do not exist, provide an erosion and sediment control plan in accordance with the requirements of Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Construction General Permit.”

This project will require a completed Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in accordance with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)/EPA standards. Please provide a SWPPP for review, prior to CGP submittal. The FDEP has generated a template to be used (https://floridadep.gov/sites/default/files/ConstructionSWPPP.pdf). Work specific Best Management Practices (BMP’s) shall be implemented prior to construction activities and maintained at all times during construction to prevent siltation and turbid discharges. Identify and cover Stormwater structures using protection devices before performing any work. The BMP’s are to be installed along the perimeter of all work areas to prevent the displacement of fill material outside the work area into surface waters, stormwater inlets, etc. Immediately after completion of the final grading of the land surface, all slopes, land surfaces, and filled areas shall be stabilized using approved sod, seeding, degradable mats, staked hay bales, staked filter cloth, barriers, turbidity screens, or a combination of similar stabilizing materials to prevent erosion.

The erosion control measures shall remain in place and be maintained until all authorized work is completed and the work areas are stabilized and verified by USAF personnel.

Soil Impact:

The action to repair/replace the culverts will occur within the ERP Site FR038 which has been cleaned to industrial standards and SR170 which is undergoing a contamination study. Any soils removed from ditches should be spread up the bank or on shoulder, and should not be removed off the site. Any excess excavated soil/sand must be applied to the excavation site but it must not create mounding or any elevation changes from the design. Otherwise, the soil must be managed in compliance with the AF/FDEP MOU.

Biological Resources:

The proposed action would occur in a developed area. The nature of the location results in poor habitat for threatened and endangered species. Therefore, proposed action would not adversely affect any federally protected species. Proposed action is not sited in the 100 year floodplain or wetlands.

Cultural Resources Impact:

The proposed undertakings has been coordinated with the State Historical Preservation Office and a finding of no adverse effect has been received. Tyndall AFB concluded that the proposed undertaking will have no adverse effect on any known historic properties. All work should cease and the Cultural Resources Manager should be contacted if archaeological deposits or human remains are encountered. Contractor must be trained on inadvertent discoveries, training pamphlet will be provided.

Hazardous Materials:

A letter of review from 325 CES/CEIEC Must be accomplished prior to commencement of work.

The contractor shall submit TAFB Form 81 (Contractor Questionnaire) and TAFB Form 82 (Chemical Inventory) if applicable (within 10 duty days after the Notice to Proceed is issued), for review.

The Contractor should note that Tyndall AFB is required to report chemicals used such as (but not limited to) compressed gases, adhesives, aerosol cans, sealants, paints, lubricants, oils, cleaners, degreasers, pesticides, Fuels. Copies of manufacturer-specific Safety Data Sheets (SDS) must be attached to TAFB Form 82. These SDSs shall also be readily accessible at the location of each hazardous material. After submission, 325 CES/CEIE will notify the Project Manager and/or CONS of the reportable chemicals and of any special instructions. As directed by the CO, the Contractor is required to submit TAFB Form 83 (Reporting Entry Form) showing material usage monthly until completion of the task order. The CO must be notified of any changes from the original submittal (i.e. new chemical is added, size of container or unit of issue changes or if the manufacturer changes), changes must be submitted using TAFB form 82. An updated letter of review indicating changes will be sent from CEIEC to the Contracting Office before the material can be brought onto the installation. Prime contractors shall be responsible to ensure all sub-contractors comply with this section.

No hazardous materials should be brought onto the installation prior to receiving a hazardous materials authorization letter from the 325 CES Hazardous Materials Office.

Hazardous Waste:

The Contractor shall identify, characterize, store and dispose of any hazardous waste generated during work in strict accordance with Federal and State guidelines found in the Code of Federal Regulations.

The proposed action may generate small quantities of hazardous materials/wastes. Disposal of hazardous waste must be completed in accordance with Tyndall AFB Hazardous Waste Management Plan. Additionally, management of hazardous waste must be completed in accordance with 40 CFR 260-279. Hazardous waste transportation and disposal shall be coordinated through 325 CES/CEIE. The transportation and disposal facilities shall be approved by 325 CES/CEIE prior to their use. Manifests shall be signed only by 325 CES/CEIE. Drums shall be disposed of within 90 days of placing the first drop in the container.

A Hazardous Waste Determination must be conducted/recorded for any material discarded for these projects. The personnel conducting Hazardous Waste Determinations and those individuals who may generate or manage Hazardous Waste must have annual Hazardous Waste Training that complies with 40 CFR 262.17(a)(7).

Any containerized waste must maintain compliance with EPA, DOT, and OSHA’s HAZCOM requirements.

Solid Waste:

Construction activities associated with the Proposed Action would result in a short-term increase in solid waste generated at Tyndall AFB. The contractor would be responsible for disposing of solid waste in accordance with all federal, state, and local laws.

The proceeds from recyclable materials generated during construction should be returned to Tyndall AFB Recycling Program.

Digging/Excavation:

Prior to any digging, an excavation permit will be required. An Air Force Form103, BCE Work Clearance Request, will be required. Form 103 will not be signed until required (SWPPP, CGP and other permits) have been submitted for review.

(TY-22-0015)

Dear Principal Chief Cypress, In accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and its implementing regulations (36 CFR 800), Tyndall AFB is initiating consultation for a proposed undertaking.

The proposed undertaking will consist of the repair and renovation of the stormwater system in the 1200 area. This undertaking will reduce the flood water volume in the 1200 area during inclement weather.

The proposed undertaking will be located at the intersection of DeJarnette Drive and Beacon Beach Road (Atch 1). The undertaking will consist of the construction of the following features:

Replacement of approximately 4,700 linear feet of stormwater piping.

Trenching 4 ft. wide to a maximum depth of 4 ft.

Emplacement of 4 inches of topsoil and sod on all trenched areas.

Regrading of approximately 250,000 sq. ft. of existing trapezoidal drainage channels.

Based on the proposed activities, Tyndall AFB recommends that the total area of potential effect (APE) is approximately 300,000 sq. ft. or 7 acres in size and extends to a maximum depth of 4 ft. (Atch 1).

The entire APE was surveyed by the National Park Services Southeastern Archaeological Center (NPS SEAC) in 2006 (Archaeological Survey of TY-0058), by Prentice Thomas and Associates, Inc. (PTA) in 2016 and 2017 (Archaeological Survey of TY-141 and TY-155, respectively), and by Wood Environmental and Infrastructure, Inc. (Wood) in 2019

(TY-22-0015)

Dear Principal Chief Johnson, In accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and its implementing regulations (36 CFR 800), Tyndall AFB is initiating consultation for a proposed undertaking.

The proposed undertaking will consist of the repair and renovation of the stormwater system in the 1200 area. This undertaking will reduce the flood water volume in the 1200 area during inclement weather.

The proposed undertaking will be located at the intersection of DeJarnette Drive and Beacon Beach Road (Atch 1). The undertaking will consist of the construction of the following features:

Replacement of approximately 4,700 linear feet of stormwater piping.

Trenching 4 ft. wide to a maximum depth of 4 ft.

Emplacement of 4 inches of topsoil and sod on all trenched areas.

Regrading of approximately 250,000 sq. ft. of existing trapezoidal drainage channels.

Based on the proposed activities, Tyndall AFB recommends that the total area of potential effect (APE) is approximately 300,000 sq. ft. or 7 acres in size and extends to a maximum depth of 4 ft. (Atch 1).

The entire APE was surveyed by the National Park Services Southeastern Archaeological Center (NPS SEAC) in 2006 (Archaeological Survey of TY-0058), by Prentice Thomas and Associates, Inc. (PTA) in 2016 and 2017 (Archaeological Survey of TY-141 and TY-155, respectively), and by Wood Environmental and Infrastructure, Inc. (Wood) in 2019
