G03. APPENDIX – Environmental 1

G03. APPENDIX – Environmental Comply with AF Corporate Standards for Landscape:

http://afcfs.wbdg.org/site-development/landscape/index.html

A. Specifications, Permits, and Environmental Surveys

1. All environmental work shall be conducted in accordance with WPAFB specification section 01 35 43 and all other applicable specification sections as well as all federal, state and local regulations that are in effect at the time the work is to be accomplished.

2. When federal, state, or local environmental permits are required for a project (e.g., Ohio

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Permits to Install and Operate), the Architect/Engineer (A/E) shall be responsible for preparing complete permit applications (except in cases that require a permit to be prepared by 88 CEG/CEIE such as in para D), including any required attachments or supporting documents. These permit applications are to be submitted to the Base Environmental Branch, 88 CEG/CEIE, for processing by the appropriate regulatory authority.

3. The A/E is responsible for ensuring a comprehensive environmental survey for any project involving demolition/renovation is included as part of the design. The survey shall identify the type and quantity of toxic, hazardous, and other regulated substances including items that contain mercury (switches, thermostats, lamps), PCBs (light ballasts, transformers), lead (paint), halons (fire suppression equipment), as well as spills and building components that contain these substances. In addition, the survey shall include exit signs and emergency lighting (mercury lamps and batteries) and smoke detectors (radioactive material). In laboratories, hospitals, or other research facilities where metallic hood systems or sink traps are to be removed during remodeling or demolition, the survey shall encompass testing these units, including chemical testing where applicable, to determine if a potentially shock sensitive or explosive situation exists. Also in these types of facilities, the survey should include determining the presence of liquid mercury in sink traps, traps under floor drains, and in concrete seams/cracks. Survey shall include sampling as required. In all facilities, the presence or absence of abandoned hazardous materials (e.g., gas cylinders, paints, spray cans, fuels, etc…) shall be determined by visual inspection as part of the survey.

This includes fire extinguishers. If hazardous chemicals are found to exist in sink traps/drains or concrete cracks, the Environmental Branch (88 CEG/CEIE) shall be notified immediately (257-5531 or 257-0023). Once the survey has been completed an Environmental Survey Report shall be submitted as part of the Design Analysis identifying the regulated substance, location and quantity.

4. A thorough asbestos survey shall be performed IAW paragraph D below.

B. Air Quality

1. Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) 3745-31-02 requires a Permit to Install for any new air contaminant source, unless that source is exempted by OAC 3745-31-03. Additionally, the U.S.

EPA finalized rules titled Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule (40 CFR 98).

G03. APPENDIX – Environmental 2

2. Upon initiation of any project, the designer shall coordinate with the Environmental Branch

Air Program Manager (Air PM), 88 CEG/CEIEA, to determine air contaminant emission permit requirements. If a permit-to-install is required, then the designer shall be responsible for providing necessary information as requested by the Air PM to complete the permit application. The Air PM will submit the application to the regulatory agency. Air permitting guidance may be obtained by contacting the Air PM (257-2455 or 257-3349).

3. WPAFB is required to maintain a database of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) sources emitted from the Base. The list includes carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), perfluorocarbons (PFC), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). In addition, all organizations will be required to maintain a list of GHG sources and the quantity of gas emitted to the atmosphere. Upon initiation of any project that will include GHG sources (such as boilers, incinerators, and generators), the designer shall coordinate with the Air PM to evaluate the impact to the project and installation.

4. Any stationary combustion engine installed must meet the application emissions standards and fuel requirements as outlined in New Source Performance Standards 40 CFR 60, Subpart IIII (compression ignition) or Subpart JJJJ (spark ignition).

C. Stratospheric Ozone

1. Regulations promulgated in Title VI (Title 40 CFR Part 82) were enacted to implement the

Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer and sections of the Clean Air Act Amendments. In addition to control of these compounds, the regulation imposes production, importation, and consumption limits with an eventual production phase-out of ozone depleting substances (ODSs). Production limits were imposed on manufacturers, importers, and exporters of ODSs and thus do not directly affect Air Force activities. However, new rules have been promulgated by U.S. EPA, including an accelerated phase-out of Class II ODSs (U.S.C. 7671e).

2. No project may use any Class I ODS for refrigeration or comfort cooling. All plans to use

Class I ODSs shall be coordinated with the Air PM (257-2455 or 257-3349). Maintenance of existing equipment may continue to use available stocks of HCFC (Class II).

3. All Class I ODSs, including halons, chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerants, carbon tetrachloride and methyl chloroform, taken out of service shall be identified in the environmental survey and returned to the DLA ODS Bank in Virginia IAW WPAFB specification 02 09 10.

4. It is prohibited by AFI 32-7086 Section 4.2 to procure facility systems scheduled to remain in the Air Force inventory beyond 1 January 2020 that requires Class II ODS in their operations or maintenance (i.e. HCFC-123 chillers).

D. Asbestos

1. Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) are heavily regulated in all phases of their use and disposal. Some of these regulations include U.S. EPA’s guidance document 560/5-85-024, AFOSH Standard 48-8, National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants 40 CFR 61 Subpart M, Ohio EPA OAC 3745-20, AFI 32-1052, Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) 40 CFR Part 763, OSHA Regulations 29 CFR 1926.1101 and 29 CFR 1910.1001.

G03. APPENDIX – Environmental 3

2. The A/E is responsible for ensuring a THOROUGH project design survey is conducted to determine if ACMs are present, and when identified, the ACMs shall be labeled as such. The person conducting the project design survey shall be certified as an Asbestos Hazard Evaluation Specialist by the State of Ohio IAW OAC 2701-34-02 (C). The survey shall include but is not limited to identifying the location of samples taken on a detailed drawing, the description and condition of the material sampled and the results of the sample analysis. The survey shall be performed in accordance with all requirements of Section 8, “Pre-construction Surveys” of ASTM E2356-14 “Standard Practice for Comprehensive Asbestos Surveys.” AHERA requires the use of laboratories accredited under the National Voluntary Laboratory Program (NVLAP). Survey and analysis results shall be included in the preliminary (35%) design analysis.

The survey shall be provided to the designer performing the design. A State of Ohio certified Project Designer shall design the asbestos removal/abatement portions of the project. The final drawings and specifications shall clearly indicate the location of the ACMs, extent of removal or other abatement and indicate all relevant regulatory procedures, etc. If for any reason these survey requirements cannot be met; i.e. because of occupancy or inaccessibility, contact 88 CEG/CEIE at 257-2455 or 257-5536.

3. There may be limited historical asbestos data available for some Base facilities. Contact 88

CEG/CEIEA at 257-2455 or 257-5536 to obtain any available data. Any data obtained from previous asbestos surveys does not negate the regulatory requirement to perform a thorough NESHAP survey for a building that will be demolished or renovated.

E. Environmental Impact Analysis

1. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 requires federal agencies to consider the environmental and historic impacts of proposed actions in the decision making process.

The intent of NEPA is to protect, restore, and enhance environmental and cultural/historic resources through well-informed federal decisions. The Air Force implements NEPA requirements through 32 CFR Part 989, Environmental Impact Analysis Process (EIAP). The EIAP at WPAFB is managed by the Installation Management Division, Environmental Branch, 88

CEG/CEIE.

2. For any proposed work, the status of the EIAP shall be obtained from 88 CEG/CEIEA (257-

6482 or 257-8194) prior to the expenditure of government funds and performance of the action.

3. If an Environmental Assessment (EA) has been/is being prepared for the proposed action, a copy of this document shall be provided to the designer by the project proponent. Design requirements are frequently made in the EA as a means to mitigate potential adverse impacts from execution of the proposed action. These mitigative measures shall be incorporated in the facility design IAW the EA, if one exists. The expenditure of government funds and construction activity cannot begin until the EA has been approved and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) is signed by 88 CEG or a FONSI/Finding of No Practicable Alternative (FONPA) is signed by HQ AFMC and/or AFCEC.

F. Hazardous Materials

1. Project design shall take into account that hazardous materials (HAZMAT) shall be stored and used appropriately and shall allow dedicated space for storage of HAZMAT, if needed.

G03. APPENDIX – Environmental 4

G. Hazardous Waste

1. Hazardous waste management is subject to regulation by both federal and state EPA, as well as DoD and AF regulations.

2. Project design shall take into account the types of hazardous materials to be used, and the wastes that may be generated as a result of that use. Project design shall allow dedicated space for storage of hazardous waste, and that space shall be constructed to meet specific standards (sealed floor, concrete containment berm, firewalls, etc.). Questions concerning the requirements for storage and disposal of any hazardous waste generated at WPAFB can be addressed by 88 CEG/CEIEC (257-0023 or 257-5531).

H. Historic Preservation

1. The Air Force policy for cultural resources is to integrate historic preservation requirements with planning and management of other activities, and to consider cultural resources during the earliest stages of project planning so as to reduce conflicts with the military mission and other management objectives (AFI 32-7065). The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and AFI 32-7065 require affirmative responsibilities of federal agencies to preserve historic and prehistoric resources. Any property (site or structure, or both) that may qualify for listing on the National Register of Historic Places shall not, by NHPA and AFI 32-7065, be inadvertently demolished or altered or allowed to deteriorate. The Archaeological Resource Protection Act of 1979 (ARPA) also protects all archaeological resources from illicit use, including excavation and removal from federal lands. The Air Force (WPAFB) is required to identify, protect, and use the historic resources under its control.

2. The Air Force encourages practical rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of historic properties when operational needs can be supported. Whenever feasible, historic properties shall be used before acquiring, constructing, or leasing new buildings. Guidelines for rehabilitating and maintaining historic properties are found in the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings. WPAFB's historic properties are identified by the Base Cultural Resources Manager (CRM), 88 CEG/CEIE, in consultation with Ohio’s State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). A current list of WPAFB historic facilities can be obtained by calling the CRM (257-1374 or 656-3454).

3. These properties and sites may not be modified or demolished without completion of a

Section 106 process. The expenditure of government funds and any work (undertaking) cannot begin until the Section 106 process is completed. This review requires that an "assessment of effect" be made by the CRM. This assessment enables the installation, in consultation with the SHPO, and, where necessary, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) to identify the effects that a proposed undertaking may have on historic resources. Consultation during the Section 106 review process provides an opportunity for SHPO, and when necessary the ACHP, to comment on an undertaking. In some cases this may result in an agreement that undertakings which cause adverse effects to the property will be avoided or minimized.

4. Any proposed work (undertaking) inside, on, or in the vicinity of a historic property shall be presented to the CRM at the earliest stage possible in the planning process. The expenditure of government funds and any work cannot begin until the Section 106 process is completed. If necessary, it shall be the responsibility of the designer adhering to the BFS to contact the CRM at the onset of the proposed work, in order for the CRM to coordinate the plans with the SHPO.

Any project requiring coordination with the SHPO will need to incorporate a 45 day review cycle into the planning process, typically at the 35% design stage. All coordination with the SHPO is accomplished by the CRM.

G03. APPENDIX – Environmental 5

I. Defense Environmental Restoration Program

1. The USAF has two restoration programs under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP) at active/operating AF installations, the Installation Restoration Program (IRP) and the Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP). The IRP is regulated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980 and is intended to identify, investigate, and remediate past hazardous waste sites. WPAFB currently has identified seventy-two (72) IRP sites. The program at WPAFB is also regulated by Ohio Administrative Orders on Consent from Ohio EPA (1988) and a Federal Facilities Agreement with U.S. EPA Region V (1991). The MMRP addresses the potential explosives safety hazards presented by munitions and explosives of concern (MEC), which include unexploded ordnance (UXO), discarded military munitions (DMM), and munitions constituents (MC) concentrations high enough to pose an explosive hazard and potential environmental contamination. Munitions response actions will be conducted under the process outlined in the National Contingency Plan (NCP) 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 300 as authorized by CERCLA, 42 United States Code (U.S.C.) 9605, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Action (SARA) 1986, Pub. L. 99-499. There are two Munitions Response Areas (MRAs) at WPAFB.

2. Project design shall take into account any construction or excavation atop or within 300 feet of any IRP or MMRP sites. The Land Use Control (LUC) Implementation Plan and the WPAFB’s Geographical Information System (WPAFB GeoBase Viewer), which is part of the Installation Development Plan (IDP), shall be referenced. Any work proposed within the established boundaries of an IRP or MMRP site shall be coordinated with Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC/CZO at Wright-Patterson AFB) (257-6391, 656-8976, or 257-2201). This includes necessary soil excavation planned for an IRP site or within 300 feet of IRP sites that are considered waste placements. In accordance with OAC 3745-27-13, application to Ohio EPA must be made for excavation activities within 300 feet of waste placements 45 days prior to disturbance.

J. Landscaping

1. Plant species shall be selected based on hardiness (Zone 5) and adaptability to SW Ohio soil types (generally alkaline pH). Raised planters shall be of sufficient length and width to accommodate group plantings. Planters with artificial bottoms are discouraged. Fabric weed mats shall be used with anything other than single plantings that are mulched. When planning and/or planting trees or shrubs the "10-20-30 diversity rule" shall be utilized such that the plants shall be no more than 10% from the same species, no more than 20% from the same genus, and no more than 30% from the same family. All landscaping (including use of raised planters) shall be approved by the Base Natural Resources Program Manager (NRPM), 88 CEG/CEIE (257-4857 or 257-8555) prior to installation. A list of approved plants for WPAFB is available (NOTE: The list also includes plants prohibited from planting) from the Base NRPM.

2. Landscaping within the Base’s historic districts shall be coordinated and approved by the

Base Cultural Resources Manager, 88 CEG/CEIEA (257-1374).

K. Natural Resources

1. Air Force Instruction 32-7064, Integrated Natural Resources Management, guides installations in managing their natural resources programs. DOD Directive 4700.4, Natural Resources Management Program, issued in 1989, established requirements for the coordination and integration of natural resources programs with other Base activities. As a

G03. APPENDIX – Environmental 6 result of this directive, the following Air Force policy was established: "All current and planned installation activities (e.g., master planning, construction requests, site approval requests, and training exercise plans) shall be planned and conducted so as to ensure effective and timely coordination with installation natural resources management personnel." In addition, the Air Force Environmental Quality Program, as outlined in Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD) 32-70 requires that WPAFB protect and enhance wetland resources on the Installation. To comply with AFPD 32-70, all activities on WPAFB shall conform to Sections 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act and OAC 3745-1: -50, -51, -52, -53, and -54 and OAC 3745: -32, -33, and -38. Impacts to wetlands that are determined to be hydrologically isolated from other waters of the United States, and therefore not regulated under the Clean Water Act, are regulated under Section

6111.021 of the Ohio Revised Code.

2. The project design shall comply with the 100-Year Floodplain/Huffman Retarding Basin

Requirements (Reference Miami Conservancy District (MCD) Land Use Policy for more details).

Approximately 80 percent of WPAFB lies within the Mad River floodplain. Most of Area A is behind Huffman Dam within the Huffman Retarding Basin and subject to flooding. The flood control basin behind Huffman Dam is regulated by the MCD to limit land use and construction on the property. The MCD has the right to back water upon and over the property behind Huffman Dam. Also, structures or additions of any type shall not be erected more than 5 feet below the spillway elevation of Huffman Dam, 834.1 (NAVD88), except by MCD authorization.

The MCD has established policies for activities within the floodplain, with which WPAFB complies:

a. Building Restrictions. No temporary or permanent structures and/or improvements are to be constructed within the Huffman Retarding Basin without prior written MCD approval. All conforming (new) habitable structures shall be located or constructed on natural ground (land that has not been altered by construction such as filling or grading) at or above the minimum building elevation, 813.4 (NAD83/NAVD88).

Foundations and basements for these structures may extend below the minimum building elevation provided there are no openings below the minimum building elevation. Additions to conforming habitable structures, regardless of size, can only be constructed if the lowest natural ground elevation, where the addition is to be constructed, is at or above the minimum building elevation. Remodeling and/or repair to a conforming habitable structure will be permitted. Non-conforming (pre-existing) habitable structures: additions to non-conforming habitable structures regardless of size and/or location are prohibited. Remodeling which does not change the basic use or increase the square footage of the structure will be permitted. New non-habitable structures: The following structures and/or facilities can be constructed or located below the minimum building elevation subject to prior Miami Conservancy District approval: Garages (non-attached) associated with an existing habitable structure; out buildings; storage sheds; utility structures; gravel operation facilities and recreational facilities such as shelters (open on at least 3 sides). The total square footage of all permanently constructed non-habitable structures shall not exceed 5% of that portion of the property located below the minimum building elevation (All legal structures existing prior to Jan 1, 2002 will be exempt from this limitation except for the purpose of calculating limitations for future construction.). Pre-existing non-habitable structures may be used for any use considered compatible within a retarding basin subject to written District approval.

b. Placement of Fill Material:

G03. APPENDIX – Environmental 7

“Projects in Area A shall not result in a net increase of fill at or below elevation 835.0, corresponding to the spillway elevation of Huffman Dam. If fill is brought into Area A from outside the Huffman Retarding Basin, an equivalent volume of existing fill from within Area A must be removed from the Basin. For any Area A project involving the placement of more than four cubic yards of fill, the project team shall coordinate a cut and fill strategy through 88CEG/CEIE and the Miami Conservancy District, and shall execute a Storage Compensation Agreement to document the volumes and locations of cut and fill. The designer shall incorporate applicable details into the construction contract documents, including completion of applicable portions of WPAFB specification section 01 35 43.”

3. Any project in or near the following shall be coordinated with the Base NRPM 257-4857 or 257-8555), in accordance with DOD Directive 4700.4:

a. Forests

b. Agriculture and out leases

c. Threatened or endangered species habitats

d. Outdoor recreation areas

e. Prime farmland

f. Wetlands (EO 11990)

g. Fish and wildlife habitat

h. 100-Year Floodplain/Retarding Basin

Locations of these areas are available from the Base NRPM and most locations are available from Base Civil Engineering’s Record Drawings Section. Some of these areas are located in the Base General Plan. Depending on the project circumstances, if there are impacts to wetlands and/or streams, Sections 404 (Corps of Engineers) and 401 (Water Quality Certification – Ohio EPA) of the Clean Water Act may be required. All necessary permits shall be obtained prior to impacting any wetland and/or stream. The designer is responsible for preparing and submitting these permits to the NRPM for approval and submission to the regulatory agencies.

Additional information can be obtained from the NRPM (257-4857 or 257-5535).

L. Underground Storage Tanks (UST)/Aboveground Tanks (AST)

1. Background: OAC 1301: 7-9-10 and 7-9-12 and AFI 32-7044 identify permitting procedures required for UST's including installations, modifications, changes in service, or temporary or permanent closure (either removal or abandonment in place). For installation of new underground tanks, the Ohio Bureau of Underground Storage Tank Regulations (BUSTR) requires a permit. Federal Regulation, 40 CFR Part 280, and OAC 1301: 7-7-28 and 7-9-06 through 7-9-12 shall be referenced for all requirements regarding UST installation and operating procedures, design standards, and closure procedures, as well as third party inspections of installations, upgrades and abandonments. Underground storage tank systems shall be of double-wall construction, compatible with the material to be stored, and equipped with an automatic tank gauging and release detection system capable of detecting a release from any portion of the tank and piping that routinely contains a regulated substance. All UST systems shall meet Ohio Fire Marshal Bureau of Underground Storage Tank Regulation (BUSTR) Sensitive Area requirements per the OAC 1301 regulations. In addition, all UST systems shall have spill containment basins surrounding the fill port and overfill prevention equipment. AF policy recommends the use of suction piping with an aboveground pump and minimized piping runs. AST installations shall meet 40 CFR 112.8 and WPAFB Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan requirements. All AST systems shall be of double-wall

G03. APPENDIX – Environmental 8 construction, compatible with the material to be stored, and equipped with an overfill alarm and release detection system. All AST systems shall have spill containment basins surrounding the fill port and overfill prevention equipment. If it is not feasible to provide double-wall construction for AST systems, then external secondary containment shall be provided of sufficient capacity to hold the entire capacity of the largest single container, including piping, and sufficient freeboard to contain precipitation from a 25year, 24-hour storm event. External containment systems shall be properly and periodically maintained to ensure integrity and imperviousness. The SPCC Plan and the plan requirements may be accessed through the Storage Tank PM, 88 CEG/CEIEA (257-5899 or 257-3176).

2. All project designs involving any actions with UST's or AST’s shall be coordinated through the Storage Tank PM (257-5899 or 257-3176) to ensure all UST/AST regulatory concerns are addressed. Project designs involving metal tank system components shall be coordinated with the Base Corrosion Control Specialist in 88 CES/CEOER (904-2201) for corrosion and cathodic protection requirements. In addition, notification of planned tank installations shall be made to the local fire authority, WPAFB Fire Dept., 788 CES/CEXF (257-4075). Installation of new USTs is discouraged and shall be justified. Due to new regulations in OAC 1301: 7-9-12, -13, -14, -16, and -17, all contracts for UST removals shall require contaminated soil to be disposed at a treatment facility.

M. Water, Wastewater and Stormwater

1. The Ohio EPA requires that water, wastewater, and stormwater-related projects be designed to meet certain specifications. Section 438 of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) applies if the project meets both the following conditions: 1) The project includes construction or expansion of one or more buildings as part of its primary scope (i.e., primary facilities vice supporting facilities). 2) The “footprint” is greater than 5,000 gross square feet (464.5 square meters). “Footprint” consists of all new impervious surfaces associated with the building(s), including both building area and pavement area of associated supporting facilities (such as parking and sidewalks). “Footprint” does not include existing building area to be renovated, existing pavement area to be resurfaced, or new pavement area other than supporting facilities associated with the building(s). Depending on project details, Ohio EPA may require a Plans Approval, a Permit to Install (PTI), or a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for water, wastewater, and stormwater structures, respectively. NPDES Construction General Permit coverage, including a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), is required for all construction sites where one (1) acre or more of land will be disturbed. Less than one (1) acre of land disturbance requires an Erosion Control Plan. Sections 404 (Corps of Engineers) and 401 (Water Quality Certification – Ohio EPA) of the Clean Water Act may be required if the project causes impacts to wetlands and/or streams.

2. Permittee responsibilities will remain with the construction contractor for the duration of the construction project. A complete SWPPP shall be submitted to the Water Quality PM, 88 CEG/CEIEA, at least 7 days prior to submittal of the Notice of Intent (NOI) to Ohio EPA. Once the SWPPP is approved, the permittee shall submit the NOI and application fee to Ohio EPA at least 21 days prior to the start of any construction activities. For Drinking Water, a Plans Approval applications shall be sent to the Water Quality PM for construction of a water main for a new building or addition to a building, replacing a main that is larger than an existing main, or extending an existing main. For wastewater, PTI applications shall be sent to the Water Quality PM for construction of wastewater collection, conveyance, storage, treatment or disposal facilities. Additional design requirements may be imposed by other federal (including Air Force), state, county, and municipal regulatory authorities.

G03. APPENDIX – Environmental 9

3. Project shall be designed in compliance with all applicable federal (including Air Force), state, county, and municipal environmental laws and regulations, as well as any applicable existing permits and administrative orders. Design standards and permit requirements shall be identified in the concept design phase. The designer shall submit Operation & Maintenance Manuals for any post-construction best management practices that are to be included as part of the project design IAW the Ohio EPA Construction General Permit. Designs that construct or expand facilities with a footprint greater than 5,000 square feet must incorporate innovative storm water technologies, such as Low Impact Development (LID), to the maximum extent practicable in accordance with Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) Section 438 requirements. The A/E must complete the Air Force EISA worksheet detailing project applicability and measures taken to meet the requirements. Once complete, the worksheet must be submitted to the Government for review. Where designs include the installation of backflow prevention devices, the units shall be Ohio EPA approved and they shall be installed no higher than 1.5 meters (5 feet) above the floor. Designs to install oil/water separators (OWS) shall be coordinated and approved with the CE Water Systems Engineer, the Water Quality PM, the facility user, and the project Design Engineer in a pre-design conference. AFI 32-1067, Water and Fuel System (February 2015) shall be made part of all design projects whether the project is designed in house or by contract. Additionally, a PTI issued by Ohio EPA may be required for OWS installation.

4. During the design process, the A/E designer shall identify all permit requirements and complete all necessary permit application documentation for final submission to the Government. The construction contractor finalizes all permit applications (including fees) and submits the applications with any necessary supporting documents, including pertinent construction drawings and specification sections, to the Water Quality PM for review and processing on to the regulatory authority. The application form and instructions can be found on the Ohio EPA web page, http://web.epa.ohio.gov/dsw/pti/PTIForms.html or may be obtained by calling the Water Quality PM (257-5899 or 257-3176). Three sets of stamped drawings, one copy of specifications, one copy of the Water Supply Data Sheet, and one copy of supporting information are required by Ohio EPA for plans approval packages; four sets of stamped drawings, two copies of Form A, two copies of the corresponding Form B, and two copies of the Anti-degradation Addendum Form if applicable are required by Ohio EPA for PTI applications; and two sets of the NOI Application and SWPPP for NPDES applications.

Additional copies may be required by the Government in addition to those submitted to the regulatory authority. The designer shall not contact Ohio EPA or any other regulatory agency on behalf of WPAFB, unless permission is given by the appropriate PM from 88 CEG/CEIEA. All inquiries shall be routed through the Water Quality PM (257-5899 or 257-3176).

N. Green Procurement

1. Green Procurement is the purchase of environmentally preferable products and services in accordance with the Federally-mandated green procurement program (GPP) elements. There are six mandatory program elements and one voluntary element that are governed by several laws, Executive Orders (EOs), and regulations. The six mandatory programs elements are:

a. Recovered Materials (Formerly Affirmative Procurement) driven by Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) section 6002, EO 13423, EO 13514 and 40 CFR Part 247 requires Federal agencies to purchase recovered material products that satisfy EPA’s Comprehensive Procurement Guideline (CPG). The CPG is a list of products that can be made with recovered materials, are technologically and economically feasible to produce, and will conserve raw materials and reduce the solid

G03. APPENDIX – Environmental 10 waste stream. CPG products with the highest percentage of recovered materials practicable shall be utilized, unless otherwise specified, or if one or more of the following exemptions apply:

i. Does not meet appropriate performance specifications.

ii. Is not available competitively (from two or more sources).

iii. Is not available within a reasonable time frame.

iv. Is only available at an unreasonable price

b. Energy and Water Efficient Products driven by the Energy Policy Act (EPACT) of 1992, EO 13221, EO 13423, and 13514 requires Federal agencies to reduce energy use, purchase energy-efficient products, increase the use of renewable energy, and conserve water.

c. Alternative Fuels and Fuel Efficiency driven by the EPACT of 2005, EO 13150, EO 13423, and EO 13514 requires Federal agencies to purchase alternative fueled vehicles (AFV), alternative fuels, and fuel efficient vehicles.

d. Biobased Products driven by the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (FSRIA) section 9002, 7 CFR Part 2902, EO 13423, and EO 13514 requires Federal agencies to select biobased items from the USDA published product list.

e. Non-Ozone Depleting Substances driven by the Montreal Protocol of 1987, EO 13423, EO 13514, and AFI 32-7086 requires Federal agencies to meet all mission critical Class I ODS requirements from the DLA ODS Reserve, find alternatives to the continued use of Class I and Class II ODS, and purchase approved alternatives to ODS products from the EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program.

g. Priority Chemicals driven by EO 13423 and 13514 requires Federal agencies to reduce usage of priority chemicals. The EPA has defined the priority chemical list to include cadmium, lead, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), mercury, and naphthalene.

O. Recycling

1. In accordance with AFI 32-7042, WPAFB highly promotes and endorses the installation recycling programs and disposal services as described in the WPAFB Qualified Recycling Plan.

2. Project design shall incorporate recycling bins for paper as part of the furniture package.

This includes recycling bins for workstations, printer/copier locations, conference rooms, and building collection locations. Parking lots shall be designed to include areas for recycling dumpsters. Additional information concerning this plan can be obtained by calling the Recycling PM (257-5060).

3. Project design shall consider deconstruction activities as opposed to demolition where feasible so that materials can be reused or recycled. All metal shall be recycled through the WPAFB Recycling Center.

4. Project design shall include provisions that require the contractor to recycle all recyclable materials through the WPAFB Recycling Center. Recyclable materials include piping, fittings, conduit, electrical wire, cast iron, other metals, paper, and cardboard.

P. Mold and Humidity Control

a. Introduction

G03. APPENDIX – Environmental 11

Mold grows where mold spores, nutrients, correct temperature, and ample moisture are combined. Controlling moisture is the best approach to avoiding mold. Eliminating mold spores is impractical, the organic materials in buildings offer potential mold nutrients, and the temperature in buildings is conducive to mold growth. Thus minimizing moisture by eliminating leaks, drips, and condensation in the wrong places must be addressed. Undesired water and moisture usually comes from problems in either the building envelope or the building mechanical systems or both. Wet materials and surfaces are not always required for mold to grow. Even high humidity conditions contribute to mold growth. Air conditioning systems must be designed to keep space humidity at reasonable levels.

See Appendix G09 - Mechanical

b. Building Envelope

i. The design of the building envelope must consider removal of all air entry points, cold bridges, multiple vapor barriers and gaps in the insulation system. Attics (with exceptions) and crawl spaces should no longer be ventilated. Interior floor slabs should be separated from foundations by insulated expansion joint materials.
