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.

Practices may be sufficient to reduce exposure to or below the PEL. If the lead PEL is exceeded, all workers shall wear appropriate personal protective equipment.

6.2.4. Contractors shall adhere to all other requirements of 29 CFR 1926.62. The contractor shall keep a steady mist of water on any demolition work that may cause exposures. Runoff shall be contained on the work site to prevent contamination to any watersheds, storm sewer system or the sanitary sewer system. The contractor shall not contaminate the soil with lead due to excessive use of water. The site shall be limited to access by the public and the contractor is responsible for non-exposure of the public to any lead concentrations above the PEL. The contractor must dispose of waste properly.

Only containers greater than 55 gallons will be counted toward the 1,320 gallon threshold. If the contractor activity doesn't meet the threshold for a SPCC plan, then the guidance in the FEW SPCC Plan shall apply to POL containers greater than 55 gallons.

Environmental Protection Section 01 57 19.05 32 Page 20

7.1.1 Contractors shall furnish a copy of the site specific SPCC plan, stamped by a Professional Engineer to CEIEC tank program for review prior to mobilization and placement on FEW.

7.2. Take special measures to prevent oils or other hazardous substances from entering the ground, drainage areas, or local bodies of water. Surround all temporary fuel oil, petroleum, or liquid chemical storage containers greater than or equal to 55 gallons with secondary containment of sufficient size and strength to contain the contents of the tanks and freeboard precipitation (2 inches (2”) per 24-hour period) in the event of content leakage or spillage. Contractors must have adequate spill control materials on site to prevent contamination of stormwater drains and wetlands.

7.2.1 Any spill from stationary storage sources or mobile sources (e.g., loaders, tractor, equipment) that exceeds 25 gallons must immediately be reported to CEIEC, contained and or cleaned up in an expeditious manner. Spills that are beyond the contractor’s capability to immediately remediate, must be reported to the base fire department for response.

7.3. POL storage greater than 55 gallons is subject to monthly visual inspections that must be documented and stored on site for inspection.

7.3.1 Any contractor or their designee performing inspections will be trained in the SPCC plans and appropriate responses.

Documentation of inspections shall be maintained onsite and made available to 90 CES/CEIE when requested.

7.4. Tank locations must be coordinated through 90 CES/CEIE and should be sited in an area that provides the most protection to the environment in case of spill.

7.6. Petroleum-stained areas – Contractors shall conduct weekly visual inspections throughout the project to ensure there are no signs of petroleum stains on impervious surfaces at the project site. This includes leaks or drips from heavy equipment used during the project. In the event petroleum staining is identified, the contractor is responsible for complete removal and disposal, Environmental Protection Section 01 57 19.05 32 Page 21 including the replacement of the stained surface (such as soil and grass). The contractor and Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE) shall confirm that no petroleum stained soil is present in or around the area affected by the project on the final walk through.

7.7. Work in Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming – Any work on

aboveground or underground petroleum storage tanks, which significantly modifies the current configuration of spill buckets, piping, sumps or the tank itself may require greater than 30 days’ notice and a permit to perform the work from the respective state.

In addition to the notice, certain activities will require licensed professionals in the respective states to perform work. Forward copies of Applications, permits and licensure to 90 CES/CEIE.

8.1.2. Materials must receive authorization from the HMMP team prior to being brought/used on FEW property to include the missile field.

8.1.3. The HMMP authorization process will result in an

Authorized Use List (AUL) of materials where usages must be tracked, a list of materials exempt from the usage tracking requirement and a list indicating materials that may not be used on FEW, if applicable. 90 CES/CEIE will send the contractor all information necessary to ensure proper tracking. If a material is not authorized for use on FEW, the contractor may submit the requirements in Section 7.1 supra to request a replacement material.

8.2. Material Usage Data

Environmental Protection Section 01 57 19.05 32 Page 22

8.2.1. For all contracts lasting 60 days or more, contractors must provide 90 CES/CEIE with specific usage data for all materials identified on the AUL by the 5th day of each month starting with the month immediately following the date work commences. For example, if work begins in June and ends in August, the initial usage report is due on 5 July, a usage report is due on 5 August and the final usage report is due on 5 September.

8.2.2. For all contracts lasting less than 60 days, contractors must provide 90 CES/CEIE a final usage report for all materials identified on the AUL by the 5th day of the month immediately following the last day of work. For example, if the last day of work is 16 July, the final usage report is due on 5 August.

8.2.3. An exception occurs if work will carry over from one

calendar year to another. In this case, the usage reports discussed in 8.2.1 and 8.2.2 supra for work occurring in December will be submitted by 31 December of that year. This usage report will include all usages occurring in December including ones projected to occur on the date of submission.

8.3. Contractors shall maintain SDSs for all hazardous materials used on base. The SDSs, AUL & Exempt Authorization Forms shall be maintained on-site at the construction site at all times.
