About this file
This is a Contractor Environmental Guide issued by the 355th Civil Engineer Squadron at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, effective March 16, 2026. The guide assists civilian contractors in meeting federal, state, and local environmental regulations while performing work on the installation.
Contractors are mandatorily required to comply with the Environmental Management System (EMS) and complete EMS Awareness training prior to work commencement. Key obligations include hazardous material management and reporting, recovered materials certification, native plant and wildlife protection, dust control, stormwater pollution prevention, construction and demolition debris recycling, proper waste management, and petroleum-contaminated soil handling. Contractors must submit Safety Data Sheets and AF-EESOH-MIS worksheets for all hazardous materials at least three weeks before performance. For contracts exceeding 60 days, monthly hazardous material usage reports are required; for shorter contracts, reporting occurs at project completion. Contractors must also submit C&D Debris Diversion Plans within 7 days of Notice to Proceed, describing recycling and disposal methods for construction waste. Spill response procedures are mandatory, with contractors required to contact the Base Fire Department immediately for spills exceeding two feet in area, one gallon in quantity, or those on soil or cracked pavement. Completed Appendix F (EMS Most Significant Environmental Aspects Awareness Form) must be submitted to the contract administrator at the pre-performance meeting. Environmental compliance inspections are subject to verification by the Davis-Monthan Environmental Office, and non-compliance may result in contract management corrective actions.

Contractor must ensure that the Contracting Office notifies Bioenvironmental Engineering prior to any industrial ventilation systems (systems which control a hazard) being evaluated for acceptance.
The Contractor must ensure that the Contracting Office notifies the installation Air Quality Program Manager for any installed air emission controls to ensure compliance with base air operating permits.
Bioenvironmental Engineering needs to observe or perform all tests for any new or renovated systems prior to initial start-up to determine if the system will control the hazard.
Bioenvironmental Engineering needs to be present for the tests of fan speed and rotation, and fan motor load, and needs to be present for or conduct tests for air flow in all hoods or branches.
Notify the Contracting Office to schedule close-out survey with Bioenvironmental Engineering.
Preservation of Cultural Resources

APPENDIX A
GUIDANCE FOR SUBMISSION OF SAFETY DATA SHEETS
FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIAL (HAZMAT) AND REPORTING OF HAZMAT USAGE
Hazardous Materials: A hazardous material is commonly known as a HAZMAT. OSHA defines a hazardous material as any substance to which exposure “results or may result in adverse effects on the health and safety of employees” or “any chemical which is a physical hazardous or health hazard.” There is no ‘one simple list’ of hazardous materials.
Listed below are the general categories of hazardous materials that require the submission of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) hazardous material usage reporting to the Contracting Office:
• Compressed gases (all types)
• Adhesives
• Sealants
• Paints (including aerosols)
• Lubricants / oils / fuels
• Welding materials
• Solvents
• Chemicals used in testing or as additives
• Any fluids (except water) added to machinery / government-owned or leased equipment
• Pesticides/insecticides/rodenticides
1. At least three weeks prior to the start of construction, contractors must provide:
a. SDS for each hazardous material to be used during the contract period.
b. A complete “DMAFB AF-EESOH-MIS Contractor Worksheet” included as the first page of the SDS submittal (refer to Attachment A-1).
2. After receipt/review of the “DMAFB AF-EESOH-MIS Contractor Worksheet”, and the associated SDS, DMAFB will return to the contractor the “Contractor Hazardous Material Review” sheet (refer to Attachment A- 2 for an example).
a. Depending upon the item(s) marked on the “Contractor Hazardous Material Review” sheet, the Contractor may (or may not) have additional submittal requirements.
b. If the Contractor does have additional hazardous material submittal requirements, the submittal(s) must be accomplished before the hazardous material is brought on base.
c. The contractor must receive the “Contractor Hazardous Material Review” sheet from DMAFB before the hazardous material is brought on base.
3. For those hazardous materials that will be tracked (as identified on the “Contractor Hazardous Materials Review” sheet), the following requirements apply:
a. For contracts less than 60 days, the Contractor will submit the “Contractor Hazardous Material and Usage Data” (refer to Attachment A-3) to the Contracting Office Representative prior to the start of the contracted work, and again at the completion of the contract.
b. For contracts greater than 60 days, the Contractor will submit the “Contractor Hazardous Material and Usage Data” (refer to Attachment A-3) to the Contracting Office Representative prior to the start of the contracted work, once each month of the contract, and at the completion of the contract.
If the contractor needs to bring hazardous material onto the installation that was not included in the original submittal, the contractor must submit the new information required in step 1 to the Contracting Office Representative to begin the review process identified in Step 2.

APPENDIX B
CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION (C&D) DEBRIS
DMAFB is required to report the volume/ quantity (tonnage) of waste landfilled and material recycled on a quarterly basis. The report must also include the costs of disposal and/ or diversion. Cost will include roll-off/ dumpster drop and swap (transfer) fees, landfill tip (dump) fees, and any other transportation and handling fees such as monthly rental or lease agreements. Because Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris can be a large portion of the waste generated in any quarter, DMAFB encourages the recycling and diversion of C&D debris.
Types of C&D debris include, but are not limited to:
• Aluminum cans (e.g., soda cans)
• Asphalt
• Bricks
• Cardboard
• Concrete
• Drywall
• Electrical wiring and components
• Green waste (palm fronds, scrub brush, land clearing debris, etc.)
• Landscaping stone
• Plaster
• Plumbing fixtures and piping
• Roof coverings (e.g., shingles or tiles)
• Metal scraps (from stud trim, ductwork, rebar, piping, roofing, banding, etc.)
• Wood (scrap wood)
At least 3 weeks prior to the start of construction, submit the C&D Debris Diversion Plan to the Contracting Office and the CES Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE). This plan describes how the contractor will recycle (or dispose) of C&D debris (refer to Attachment B-1 for an example C&D Debris Diversion Plan).
For contracts less than 60 days, the Contractor will submit a “Summary of C&D Debris Recycling and Landfilling” to the Contracting Office/ QAE prior to the start of the contracted work, and again at the completion of the contract.
This required deliverable can be in any format so long as it includes type of material, handling…
