Contract shall monitor residency time of its NREs and mobile sources through recordkeeping. Contractor shall maintain a log documenting the date the NRE and mobile sources arrive on and depart from the project site. Contractor shall work with COR to establish temporary connection to power utility for construction projects expected to exceed 12 months at a single site.

Connecting to the power utility temporarily will eliminate the need for maintaining portable, primary power generators on site for more than 12 consecutive months or seasonally for more than 3 consecutive months for the duration of the construction project.

6.2. Wastewater: Anchorage Municipal Code (AMC), Title 26, Chapter 26.50, Part 3, Section 200 requires significant industrial users to have a permit to discharge wastewater into the municipal sewer system. JBER is an indirect discharger of non-domestic wastewater and contributes more than five percent of Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility (AWWU) total wastewater load per day; thus, JBER is classified as a significant industrial user. As required by AWWU Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit #11 (JBER AWWU Permit), JBER’s Industrial Wastewater Management Plan describes how activities are managed at JBER to minimize the chance of discharging toxic and/or hazardous pollutants into the municipal sewer system.

6.2.1. The Contractor shall prevent the discharge of any substance that may upset or degrade the municipal sewer system, cause health or safety problems, or exceed JBER AWWU Permit effluent limits. The primary applicable regulations that help ensure JBER’s wastewater discharges comply with the permit requirements are:

b. 40 CFR 403 – Pretreatment Standards.

c. 18 AAC 75 – Oil and Other Hazardous Substances Pollution Control

d. AMC 26.50.200 – Sewer Service Wastewater Discharge Permits

6.2.2. Notification for discharges to the system: AWWU notification requirements are defined in the JBER AWWU Permit. Slug discharges are defined as any substance released at a rate or concentration that could cause a violation of the discharge standards, or any discharge of a non-routine, episodic nature. Slug discharges include, but are not limited to, accidental spills or a non-customary batch discharge.

The Contractor shall immediately notify the COR and JBER Water Quality Program Manager of a discharge in the following situations:

a. Any discharge to the sewer system of substances prohibited by AMC 26.50.050, or which may endanger public health.

b. Any spill of material prohibited by AMC 26.50.050 or slug discharge which may enter the sanitary sewer system.

c. Any unanticipated treatment bypass or upset which may exceed effluent limitations outlined in JBER AWWU Permit Sections 1.C. and 1.D.

d. The notifications shall include the following: location of the discharge; date and time of discharge; type of material/waste; concentration and volume of discharge; and corrective actions taken.

6.3. Stormwater:
