Summary of Environmental Requirements for Fire Pump Controller Repair and HEF Disposal
This document is Attachment 4 to a federal contract solicitation (FTQW 25-2004) establishing comprehensive environmental requirements for repair services on fire pump controllers and High Expansion Foam (HEF) system disposal at Building 1176, Eielson AFB, Alaska. The Alaska Air National Guard's 168th Civil Engineer Squadron issued these requirements effective March 27, 2024.
Contractors must comply with extensive environmental protections including hazardous waste training completed two weeks prior to work commencement, with all costs for waste disposal borne by the contractor. Specific regulatory frameworks apply: HEF testing triggers notifications to Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) with potential ADEC presence at tests; all testing is treated as hazardous substance spills requiring reporting to the spill line immediately upon completion. Contractors must submit Initial Hazardous Waste Accumulation Logs, maintain Environmental Records Binders, and provide an Environmental Protection Plan addressing waste management, spill prevention, air quality compliance for hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants (prohibited from intentional venting as of January 1, 2026), and contamination prevention. Disposal documentation requirements include ADEC Transport, Treatment & Disposal forms, certificates of disposal, weight tickets, and final hazardous material inventory logs. The contractor must designate an Environmental Manager responsible for compliance oversight and coordinate with 354 CES/CEIE and the Installation Environmental Office throughout the project lifecycle, with all manifests requiring designated Air Force Point of Contact signatures 10-14 days prior to waste transport.

ATTACHMENT 4: ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
Repair Services
FTQW 25-2004 Repair Fire Pump Controllers and HEF Disposal, Building 1176
27 March 2024
1.0 ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
1.1 Tanks and Spills.
Potential for a temporary increased risk to spills program. Rinsing the lines will be deemed a release until sampling can prove the water is clean. Please see the information below for requirements put forth by ADEC for Eielson AFB:
For High Expansion Foam (HEF) fire suppression system testing, the Spills PM must be notified of the testing schedule prior to the tests being performed. Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) must be notified and may ask to be present for the tests. ADEC treats these tests as hazardous substance spills in regard to cleanup and reporting requirements. To comply with these requirements, the Spills PM must be notified of the estimated volumes released and bays or areas involved at the end of each day of testing. This report should occur via the Spill Phone as soon as possible after testing. After appropriate testing of the substance released, an ADEC Treatment, Transport and Disposal form must be submitted to the Spills PM for submission to
ADEC.
All POL and hazardous material leaks/spills must be reported to 911. Eielson Fire Dispatch will call the spill line (377-7745). Eielson Environmental will conduct all communication with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation and/or US Environmental Protection Agency and others, if required. Discovery of historical contamination must also be reported by calling the spill line.
Follow generic SAP requirements.
1.2 Training.
All contractors performing work on Eielson AFB are required to complete onsite hazardous waste training provided by 354 CES/CEIEC. Contractor training must be completed two weeks prior to field work start date and prior to receiving the Environmental Element signature on the Work Clearance Request (AF Form 103).
Please contact 377-4017 to schedule a training for handling hazardous wastes, including aerosol cans management. All costs associated with waste disposal are the responsibility of the contractor. Empty aerosol cans are the only waste accepted at the base Hazardous Waste Facility for disposal. All Hazardous and Universal waste must be managed in accordance with the requirements for large quantity generators (40 CFR
262.17 and 40 CFR 273, respectively) under the Resource Conservation Recovery Act.
Hazardous waste and non-regulated waste manifests must be signed by a designated AF POC prior to shipment off-base. Please coordinate signature through the base Hazardous Waste Facility (377-1668) 10-days prior to planned transport.
• List each type of waste which the Contractor anticipates will be generated and the proposed disposal sites.
• Identify any subcontractors responsible for the transportation and disposal of solid waste. Submit copies of licenses or permits for solid waste disposal sites that are not commercial operating facilities.
• Contractor must submit a list of hazardous materials used for this project prior to commencing work on site. Include SDSs for each material. Submit final report of quantity used at project completion.
• If suspected LBP or PCB impacted surfaces are to be disturbed, testing must occur prior to demolition and renovation. Contact the toxics program manager at 377-4017 with any questions.
• Refer to Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for proper Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE).
• Ensure BMPs are implemented to ensure water, rinsate, and other contaminants do not enter the sanitary sewer through any drains within the building.
• If rinsate and water located in the piping system is not containerized for offsite disposal, and the sanitary sewer is the preferred removal method for the water located within the piping system ONLY, a SAP will be needed to ensure HEF and other contaminants are not present before using the sanitary sewer.
1.3 Air Quality
Impact to Air Quality depends upon whether hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are a component of the fire suppression system.
HFCs, like their predecessors Ozone-Depleting Substances, are commonly used in fire suppression. The current list of regulated substances and their exchange values can be found in Appendix A to 40 CFR 84.
As of 1 January 2026:
• It is prohibited to knowingly vent regulated substances in the installation, servicing, repair or disposal of fire suppression equipment.
• Servicing and/or repair of fire suppression equipment must be done with recycled regulated substances.
For additional information regarding the use of HFC based agents in fire suppression systems, refer to 40 CFR 84.110.
