2.5.6 All tank installations shall be properly signed and labeled with contents, capacity, any applicable hazards (e.g., flammable) and restrictions (e.g., no smoking within 50 feet).

2.6 RECYCLING

Recycling is mandatory for all personnel that live on or work for or on behalf of JBAB. This includes all host and tenant organizations as well as all contractor personnel. The following requirements apply to all contractors:

2.6.1 The contactor shall recycle, reclaim or reuse all materials to avoid, to the greatest extent possible, disposing of waste generated as part of the project in landfills. The contractor, through the CO shall report quantity of all waste generated and quantity recycled or reused to Installation Management Flight Environmental Element on a quarterly basis.

2.6.2 Construction debris shall be recycled or reused to the maximum extent possible. Contractor shall obtain containers for temporary storage as needed.

2.6.3 Residential and office-type recyclable materials such as white paper, cardboard, metal cans, glass bottles, plastic bottles, etc. shall be recycled, to the greatest extent possible. Contractors shall coordinate recycle material pick up.

2.6.4 Green waste, such, as trees, limbs and other vegetation shall be processed, to the greatest extent possible, for composting.

2.6.5 Industrial type wastes such as tires, motor oil, batteries, etc., generated because of contractor project operations shall be recycled.

2.6.6 The contractor shall procure and use products with recycled content to the greatest extent possible. In addition, environmentally preferred alternative products shall be given consideration to the greatest extent possible.

2.6.7. Green Procurement is the government’s program designed to give preference to the purchase of materials with recycled content and/or bio-based content to include services that use such products. Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines are published by the EPA for those items that must legally be considered when making purchases. The Recommended Material Advisory Notices give guidance on specific percentages of recycled content in those materials listed by the EPA, for example the 30% requirement for copy paper. These documents can be found at http://www.epa.gov/cpg/backgrnd.htm.

Green procurement requirements apply to all federal agencies, as well as any state agency or contractor using appropriated federal funds. Written justification must be provided to purchase items that do not meet the minimum recovered material standards, using one of the following exemptions:

The item is not available within a reasonable timeframe The performance of the recycled content item is inadequate The item is unavailable at a sufficient level of competition The price of the recycled content item is unreasonable

Please refer to AFI 64-117, Section 2.10, for more information regarding affirmative procurement.

Examples of readily available products with recycled content include commercial carpeting, rugs, partitions, and other building systems.

2.7 CONTAMINATED MEDIA (SOIL and GROUNDWATER)

2.7.1 Prior to any digging or trenching, the contractor shall comply with all conditions identified, as part of the approval. Digging or trenching within 6 feet of an existing groundwater monitoring well is prohibited.

Contractors shall be liable to any damages to monitoring wells resulting from their activities. Should a well need to be abandoned; the work must follow District of Columbia Municipal Regulations (DCMR) Title 21 Chapter 18 for well “Abandonment Standards”. This regulation requires an abandonment report which will have to be generated and signed by a District of Columbia certified well driller and provided to 11CES/CEIE.

2.7.2 Any contaminated soils that are encountered during construction activities shall be immediately reported to the CO and Installation Management Flight Environmental Element (301-981- 9612).

2.7.3 Construction projects that occur in locations where soil or groundwater contamination is known to exist or identified during construction activities shall comply with all applicable environmental and health and safety provisions. Contractor shall coordinate via the CO with Installation Management Flight Environmental Element prior to construction activities for a potential site visit by a DOEE inspector. In addition the following provisions shall apply:

2.7.3.1 A written Site Specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) shall be prepared by the contractor IAW CFR Title 29, approved by a Certified Industrial Hygienist and coordinated with Installation Management Flight Environmental Element through the CO prior to commencement of any construction activities.

2.7.3.2 All personnel working in the construction area shall be familiar with all aspects of the Site Specific HASP. Personnel shall be trained in hazardous waste operations to the extent required by 29 CFR Part 1910.120.

2.7.3.3 During excavation, soils shall be monitored with a photo ionization detector for evidence of contamination. When PID readings above 10 ppm are encountered continuous screening of the excavated soil is required. Soils with PID readings of less than 50 ppm (taken from headspace in a bag) are considered “clean” and can be reused as backfill for the excavation, if suitable. Excavated soil, which exhibits signs of visual impact, shall be considered “contaminated.” Also, soils with PID readings of 50 ppm or greater, shall be considered “potentially contaminated.” If contamination or potential contamination is observed, the material shall be segregated from non-contaminated soils. The material shall be sampled for characterization before off-site disposal at a licensed waste management facility. Sampling and testing of excavated contaminated soils shall be conducted as specified in Section 2.7.3.5 and all requirements of DOEE.

2.7.3.4 Excavated soil shall be placed in temporary storage (protected stockpiles or covered roll-off box) immediately after excavation. Stockpiles shall be constructed to isolate contaminated material from the environment including a geo-membrane liner on the ground surface, as well as a liner covering the material to prevent precipitation from entering the stockpile.

The ground surface on which the liner is placed shall be free of rocks greater than 0.5 inches in diameter and any other object, which could damage the membrane. The cover material shall be anchored to prevent it from being removed by wind.

Samples of stored material shall be collected at a frequency of once per 25 cubic yards or per each roll-off container, whichever is less. Samples shall be tested for TPH using EPA Methods 8015B (TPH-GRO) and 8015B (TPH-DRO). If the stockpile is known or suspected to have been impacted by/contained hydrocarbons heavier than No. 6 Fuel Oil (e.g., motor oil, lubricants, grease), then in addition to the listed methods, it shall also be tested for TPH using EPA Method 1664M. Stored materials with a TPH concentration that exceeds 50 ppm shall be considered contaminated and shall be treated offsite.

2.7.3.5 Contaminated soil shall be sampled prior to disposal IAW disposal site criteria. Prior to transportation the contaminated soil shall be tested for the following:

Ignitability Percent Moisture pH Level VOCs (8260) PCBs (8080) TPH (8015 Modified – Purge & Trap) TPH (8015 Modified – Solvent Extraction) TCLP Metals (1311 for 8 RCRA Metals) Reactivity

TPH (1664M)*

TOX/Total Organic Halides (9020)*

* = These analyses are only necessary when characterizing impacts from waste oil or fuels heavier than No. 6 Fuel Oil (e.g., motor oil, lubricants, grease)

All collected analysis data shall be provided via the CO to Installation Management Flight Environmental Element.

2.7.3.6 Contaminated liquids collected from excavations and stockpiles shall be temporarily stored in appropriate and approved containers. Liquid storage containers shall be watertight and stored to prevent any environmental risk from leaks or spills.

2.7.3.7 Contaminated liquid collected from excavations or stockpiles shall be sampled to the extent necessary to determine appropriate disposal methods IAW federal, state and disposal site regulations. Documentation of all analyses performed shall be furnished to the CO, who will forward to Installation Management Flight Environmental Element and the treatment facility.

2.7.3.8 Contaminated materials from excavations or stockpiles shall be transported for off base disposal IAW federal and state regulations. All waste manifests shall be coordinated through the CO with Installation

Management Flight Environmental Element for signature prior to shipping, with fully executed copies provided upon disposal.

2.7.3.9 Excavations shall be backfilled with clean material immediately after all contaminated materials have been removed and the satisfactory results of confirmation tests for backfill material, specified in Section 2.3.5, have been approved by Installation Management Flight Environmental Element.

2.7.3.10 The contractor shall prepare a letter and submit it via the CO to Installation Management Flight Environmental Element within 45 calendar days of completing work at the site. The report shall be labeled with the contract number, project name, location, date and name of the general contractor completing the work. The letter shall include the following information as a minimum:

Type of work performed Field screening readings Quantity of materials removed Sampling locations and sampling methods Sample chain-of-custody forms Source of backfill Chemical and physical test results Disposal manifests Certifications of final disposal Drawings to show limits of excavation and contamination and sample locations Photographs to document the soil removal, sampling procedures, contaminated material storage, fill placement and grading, and site post-construction

2.8 NATURAL RESOURCES

2.8.1 Any work on base by the contractor may not fill, trench, dredge, drain or create crossings through any wetlands or within the 25-foot (100 feet in some cases) wetlands buffer without appropriate Clean Water Act sections 404 and 401 permitting by regional regulatory agencies and proper clearance via the CO from Installation Management Flight Environmental Element. Wetland areas must be protected at all times by using proper Soil/Erosion Control Measures (see section) or other US Army Corps of Engineers or state approved methods.
