Section 1 Executive Summary

Requirements

Since the inception of the U.S. Coast Guard, our mission has been to ensure the safety, security, and stewardship of waters over which our service has jurisdiction and authority. We protect mariners at sea, protect our nation against threats delivered by sea, and protect the sea itself and all that live in it. Our stewardship of the maritime commons requires robust and cooperative LMR enforcement; without the protection of enforcement agencies, the open-accessibility of common-pool living marine resources to illegal activity makes these resources vulnerable to over exploitation. This includes construction/maintenance activities in and adjacent to the waters of the U.S. and as the leader in enforcing the laws to protect the seas we also will be the example on being good stewards environmentally. This plan provides the framework for contractors and USCG personnel to follow to safely perform their duties and minimize impacts to the waters of the U.S. by adhering to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations.

Location(s)

There are four areas on Base Honolulu to perform repairs, maintenance and construction to our water vessel assets and these include the fabrication area, wharf area, top side area on the boat, and below deck area on the boat (Figure 1). These areas will be addressed in the procedures sections with details on best management practices and steps to take to be environmentally safe.

Environmental Management Plan

The plan, in accordance with SFLC SPEC 0000, will address how these areas and activities will be compliant with applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. This plan will also identify processes and procedures for communications, materials, wastes, and management with respect to the environment for this project.

The Contractor for this project is <> under contract number <>. They have been tasked to perform construction activities to complete the <>. The activities associated with <> are the following:

Section 3 Background

3.1 Project Summary

<add project summary>

3.2 Location

Base Honolulu is an installation in the USCG Fourteenth District. Base Honolulu consists of a contiguous 40.76-acre parcel located on the Honolulu harbor side of Sand Island, Oahu, Hawaii (Figure 2). Surrounding land use consists of industrial operations and Honolulu Harbor. To the north is Honolulu Harbor. To the east/southeast is the State of Hawaii Anuenue Fisheries Research Center. To the south is Sand Island Parkway beyond which are several industrial businesses and warehouses. To the west is Matson (cargo shipping yard for loading/unloading container ships).

3.3 Base Layout

Base Honolulu is home to Sector Honolulu, Station Honolulu, Aids to Navigation Team Honolulu, Maritime Safety and Security Team Honolulu, The Pacific Dive Locker, FASSO Honolulu, and the FORCECOM Armory Detachment. The installation is homeport for two 420-foot National Security Cutters, one 225-foot ATON Buoy Tender, three 154-foot Fast Response Cutters, two 87-foot patrol boats, and numerous smaller vessels. Base Honolulu includes the Boathouse, Sandblast Shop, Paint Shop, WPB support building, Industrial Shop, Naval Engineering Support Building, Aids-to-Navigation, and Port Trailers (see Figure 1). The Hazmin Center and Environmental Office is located in the Supply building closest to the wharf (see Figure 1 green highlight). The temporary industrial area/fabrication area is located within the yellow box on Figure 1.

Figure 2: Base Honolulu Area of Responsibility

Figure 3: Base Honolulu Outfall locations and flow direction

3.4 Climate

Honolulu, HI experiences a dry summer season (April-September). Average temperatures range between 75-90 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year. Average rainfall is 17 inches per year and hurricane season is between June and November. The rainiest month is in December and prevailing winds come from the North East and East North East directions. Humidity ranges from 57% to 64% annually. Typhoon season is from June 1 to November 30.

3.5 Hydrogeology and Natural Resources

The Base Honolulu topography is relatively level, and surface drainage is toward Honolulu Harbor or Sand Island Access Road, occasionally resulting in localized ponding during heavy rainfall. Surface water drainage is facilitated through a system of storm drains that direct surface water from the interior of Base

Honolulu to seven outfalls into Honolulu Harbor. The Base Honolulu storm drainage system also conveys storm water from off base facilities located on the opposite side of Sand Island Access Road.

Honolulu Harbor is considered to be a Class A Marine Waters and Embayments. It is the objective of Class A waters that their use for recreational purposes and aesthetic enjoyment be protected. Any other use shall be permitted as long as it is compatible with the protection and propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife, and with recreation in and on these waters. These waters shall not act as receiving waters for any discharge which has not received the best degree of treatment or control compatible with the criteria established for this class. No new sewage discharges will be permitted within embayments.

The waters all along the wharf have protected corals and oysters and are considered by the state to be essential fish habitat. Reef fish live amongst the corals and under the wharf and boats year round.

Endangered and protected species frequently transit the harbor including turtles, whales and monk seals.

3.6 Base Environmental Information

3.6.1 Generator Status

Base Honolulu is a small quantity generator (SQG) of hazardous waste, generating more than 220 pounds but less than 2,200 pounds of hazardous waste per month (EPA ID # HI8690390036).

Hazardous waste is profiled, transported, and disposed of by Unitek, Cameron Chemicals or other local HW contractors. All HW records are kept indefinitely by base environmental.

3.6.2 Base Plans and Permits

Base Honolulu has the following plans and permits to be followed (contact the base environmental office for copies):

4.5 Hazardous Waste

4.5.1 Determinations:

The Contractor will be responsible for all activities that generate hazardous waste/debris and provide a documented waste determination for all resultant waste streams. Hazardous waste/debris will be identified, labeled, handled, stored, and disposed of by the Contractor in accordance with all Federal, state, and local regulations including 40 CFR 261, 40 CFR 262, 40 CFR 263, 40 CFR 264, 40 CFR 265, 40 CFR 266, and 40 CFR 268 by using the appropriate Environmental Procedure Card in Appendix A.

Hazardous waste generated by the Contactor within the confines of Government facilities will be identified as being generated by the Government. Prior to removal of any hazardous waste from Government property, the Contractor will ensure all hazardous waste manifests are signed by a qualified and properly trained USCG activity personnel from the Base Environmental office. At no time shall waste be removed from Base Honolulu without being fully characterized and positively identified. No hazardous waste will be brought onto Government property by the Contractor. The Contractor will provide to the local Environmental Compliance Coordinator and Contracting Officer a copy of waste determination documentation for any solid waste streams that have any potential to be hazardous waste or contain any chemical constituents listed in 40 CFR 372-SubPart D.

If needed, laboratory testing will be conducted on all suspect or unidentified hazardous waste and materials designated for disposal, by an accredited laboratory.

The Contractor will contact the Base Environmental office about any acute hazardous waste that may be generated at the site for processing procedures.

4.5.2 Storage:

Satellite Accumulation Areas (SAA) will need to be identified and reported to the Base Environmental office prior to placement. It will need to meet the following RCRA requirements:

The hazardous waste must be accumulated in containers appropriate to store the HW.

The Contractor shall maintain spill cleanup equipment and materials at the work site, and shall clean up all hazardous and non-hazardous waste spills. The spill cleanup materials capacity will exceed the volume of each SAA and be appropriate for the hazard.

The SAA must be located at or near the point of generation where waste initially accumulates. This generally means that there cannot be any interim accumulation of the waste prior to its being accumulated in the SAA container. While no specific distance is defined by USEPA when using the phrase “at or near,” good judgement must be used to determine how this phrase would apply to a given SAA. In most cases, the SAA should be located within the same room as the process or activity that generates the waste, unless it is impractical for space or safety reasons. In such cases, the SAA should be placed in the closest location possible outside of the room or work area. For larger spaces, such as a series of hangars at an Air Station, typically one SAA is established for each hangar or bay. If uncertainty exists, the Contractor will seek assistance from the Base Environmental office.

The SAA container will be “under the control of the operator of the process.”

Containers of hazardous waste will be labeled, at a minimum, with the words “Hazardous

Waste” and the primary hazard(s) associated with the waste.

HW will be on secondary containment and closed and locked except when adding waste.

The Base Environmental office will assist placing signage for each Contractor SAA, indicating the type of waste, hazard(s) present, and including EPS and other emergency contact information.

The Contractor may have multiple SAAs for the site but will coordinate with the Base

Environmental office about how many will be allowed. Each SAA can only have up to 55 gallons of HW (accumulation of all HW at the SAA can be up to 55 gallons except acute hazardous waste).

When the SAA reaches 50 gallons or close to 1 quart of acute HW, the Contractor will contact the Base Environmental office for preparing it for disposal within 1 business day.

When the SAA reaches 50 gallons or close to 1 quart of acute HW, the Contractor will contact the Base Environmental office for preparing it for disposal within 1 business day.

4.5.3 Vessel Transfers:

Ship to shore hazardous waste transfers are discussed in Chapter 6 of the USCG Vessel Environmental Manual (COMDTINST M16455.1A). The Contractor will follow the host/tenant agreement (Appendix C) for the boat the work is being performed. Also, the following will be done by the Contractor when performing transfers:

Hazardous waste should be brought immediately to the installation’s Base Hazardous Waste Storage Facility and should NOT be stored or left unattended at the port or on the wharf.

Hazardous waste should be inventoried upon arrival and properly segregated as needed.

If the hazardous waste is not yet properly labeled, the Contractor will label the waste with its contents and the hazard(s) presented by the waste.

If any hazardous waste containers are leaking or damaged, they should be placed within a larger container (i.e. overpack container) if possible, or the hazardous waste transferred to appropriate containers.

If the transfer includes any hazardous materials that are not yet considered to be waste, the Contractor will, as quickly as possible, go through the materials to determine what can be reused, recycled, or reclaimed. Once all waste materials are identified, a hazardous waste determination must be performed and documented for non-useable materials (waste).

Documentation for the HW transfer will follow the host/tenant agreement with the boat found in Appendix C.

4.5.4 Spills:

For any hazardous wastes spills, the Contractor shall verbally notify the local Environmental Compliance Coordinator and Contracting Officer immediately. The Contractor’s trained personnel will use the appropriate spill kit to clean up the spill or place boom or similar down to containerize the spill. The Contractor will work with the Base Environmental office to dispose of the spilled contents and mitigate any damages from the spill. The Contractor will provide all information needed if the spill is reported to state and federal agencies including hard or electronic copies of documentation.

If the Contractor’s response is deemed inadequate, the Coast Guard may respond, and if this should occur, the Contractor will reimburse the Government for spill response assistance and analysis. The Contractor will be responsible for all contract/availability related spills, and perform these actions based upon the reviewed and approved SPCC plan (Appendix D). The Contractor understands that this contractual authority to assume cleanup direction is in addition to, and does not affect, the Coast Guard’s regulatory authority to initiate Federal spill control and cleanup operations, as prescribed under the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan, 40 CFR 300. The Contractor’s responsibility will also include the removal of spill response waste from the work site, upon completion of spill cleanup.

4.5.5 Disposal:

The Contractor will manifest, pack, ship and dispose of hazardous or toxic waste and universal waste that is generated as a result of the contract in accordance with the generating facilities generator status under the Recourse Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)(see appropriate EPC in Appendix A); in a manner approved by the local Environmental Compliance Coordinator; and determined to be consistent and conformant with Host procedures. The Contractor will use the facilities RCRA identification number for each manifest. The Contractor will submit a copy of the applicable EPA and or State permit(s), manifest(s), or license(s) for transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous and regulated waste by permitted facilities. Hazardous or toxic waste manifests must be reviewed, signed, and approved by the Base Environmental office before the Contractor may ship the waste.

The Contractor is not authorized to discharge any materials to sanitary sewer, storm drain, or to navigable waterways or conduct waste treatment or disposal on Government property.

4.5.6 BMPs:

The following BMPs will be used in normal operations with hazardous wastes:

SAA

SAAs should not be established in areas where incompatible materials or processes are occurring (e.g., ignitable waste should not be placed immediately adjacent to sources of heat).

SAAs should also not be located in high traffic areas, or in areas where untrained personnel (e.g., administrative staff) may come into contact with the waste.

Suitable spill kits and booms or drain covers should be placed within close proximity to SAAs.

SAAs should not be located near storm drains.

Minimize the HM needed to perform the work. Use materials that is acceptable by USCG standards.

Spill Response

Ensure that all containers are properly identified with the common chemical name, physical and health hazards (labels or words), and manufacturer.

If a chemical or other hazardous material is removed from its primary container for use or dispensing, the secondary container should also be labeled with the same information.

Store no more hazardous chemicals in a room or area (control area) or building floor than is allowed in accordance with installation procedures and local fire code.

Ensure shelving units, counters, or cabinets are sturdy. Shelves used for chemical storage should be securely fastened to the wall or floor to provide added stability. The shelves should have “lips” to prevent falling of the containers from the shelves.

Do not overcrowd storage rooms, laboratories, cabinets, or shelving units. Ensure all chemicals are stored within easy reach.

Avoid incompatible storage.

Do not store chemical containers on top of flammable storage or acid storage cabinets.

Regularly inspect chemicals in storage to ensure there are no leaking or deteriorating containers.

Any waste chemicals or products should be identified as waste or unwanted material and, if a hazardous waste, be so identified.

A drum cart should be used when moving 55-gallon drums/containers.

When transferring chemicals between containers, pay careful attention to the size of the receiving container to prevent overfilling it.

Use funnels and spill containment trays to catch leaks and spills when transferring liquids.

Know the location of a suitable spill response kit and ensure it is accessible before working with hazardous materials.

Know the location and how to use emergency equipment such as eye washes, and emergency showers, be aware of the exits and evacuation routes, telephone locations, and SDSs.

Section 5 Site Work Environmental Procedures

5.1 General Containment

The Contractor will employ suitable containment methods to include, but not be limited to those listed below; to protect the air and waterways, during the performance of exterior surface preparation and coating application procedures, and performance of other tasks involving dust creation (examples include total enclosures, mini enclosures, use of tools with vacuum attachments, and water suppression tools).

5.1.1 Containment during preservation tasks.

The Contractor will utilize fixed or floating platforms as work surfaces, when working at the water surface. The Contractor will ensure that platforms are also used to provide a surface to catch spent abrasives, slag, paint products, trash, and other debris/pollutants. The Contractor will collect and dispose of all debris at the end of each work shift.

The Contractor will ensure that the bottom edges of free hanging barriers are weighted, in order to hold them in place during light breezes. When performing topside surface preparation procedures, the Contractor will ensure that all vessel openings and open areas between decks, including but not limited to scuppers, railings, freeing ports, ladders, and doorways, are properly covered to prevent discharges into waterways.

The Contractor will direct all shipboard cooling water and process water away from contact with spent abrasives, paint and other debris.

The Contractor will ensure that all mixing tasks involving paints and solvents are done in locations and under conditions such that no accidental spills will enter adjacent waterways.

The Contractor will not mix paints and solvents in areas where spillage would have direct access to waterways, unless containment measures are employed. The Contractor will employ suitable drip pans or other protective devices such as drop cloths or tarpaulin for all paint mixing and solvent transfer operations, unless the mixing operation is carried out in controlled areas away from storm drains, surface waters, shorelines and wharfs. The Contractor will ensure absorbents are always on hand, to soak up any liquid spills.

The Contractor will ensure that all paint and solvent spills are treated as oil spills and are prevented from reaching storm drains or deck drains and subsequently discharging into the water.

The Contractor will ensure proper segregation and control of wastewater streams. The Contractor will capture, contain, and dispose all run-offs from waterjetting and washing operations, to prevent from entering the ground, waterways, and stormwater and sewer systems. All wastewater will be removed from Government property for processing.

The Contractor will control painting overspray, to minimize the spreading of wind blown materials. Contractor will perform frequent cleanups of affected areas to prevent paint wastes from being washed into storm sewers or adjacent waterways.

The Contractor will inspect the integrity of the protective covering at the beginning of each shift in which contamination-producing operations will be accomplished. Ensure that outside of the coverings has not been infiltrated by contaminants. Notify the COR immediately by verbal means, followed on the next workday in writing, if contamination or surface damage has occurred. Reseal to prevent further entry of contaminants or surface damage.

Remove protective coverings upon completion of contamination-producing operations and inspect for presence of contamination or surface damage. Dispose of coverings as appropriate to its hazardous status.

5.1.2 Dust control.

The Contractor will minimize airborne and waterborne dust release at all times. To minimize dust, the Contractor will adhere to the following:

No dry power brooming is permitted. Contractor will use vacuuming, wet wiping, wet mopping, wet sweeping, or wet power brooming.

Air blowing is not permitted.

No abrasive blasting is permitted unless dust is confined. Contractor will control blasting dust to minimize windblown materials, and perform cleanup of affected areas to prevent abrasive-blasting wastes from being washed into storm sewers or adjacent waterways.

No unnecessary shaking of bags is permitted where bagged material is used.

Seal doors, hatches, and all other openings between the work area and other areas with an airtight barrier, such as fire-rated polyethylene; seal both sides (inside the construction area, and inside the adjacent area) to provide a secondary dust barrier and prevent the doors and windows from being used (post alternative emergency exits, if applicable).

Maintain work area as a negative air pressure zone relative to adjacent areas. Exhaust air shall be filtered with a suitable HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter.

Use a HEPA vacuum.

Workers must not leave the work area without having gone through a proper decontamination process, to prevent spread of dust to un-affected areas.

5.1.2.1 Lead dust clean-up:

Clean all lead dust from worksite by suitable cleaning methods, or as follows (see Appendix F):

Step 1 - debris removal: Remove all gross debris, paint chips, etc. using either a vacuum with a HEPA filter or by spraying the materials with water in a spray bottle and picking up chips or large pieces of contaminated debris by hand.

Step 2 – vacuum cleaning: Using a suitable HEPA vacuum, clean all affected surfaces, in accordance with the following guidelines:

o Begin cleaning with high areas first – with overhead surfaces and bulkheads working downward.

o Vacuum all surfaces in the compartment.

o Work in the direction furthest from the entry door toward it.

Step 3 – wet cleaning: Following thorough HEPA vacuuming, wash all surfaces with any suitable cleaning detergent following the same cleaning pattern (high to low/ furthest from and toward entrance). Change the cleaning solution as it becomes dirty. Rinse all areas with a fresh cloth/mop. Do not reuse contaminated mops and cloths. Use a three-bucket system for

Air blowing is not permitted.

cleaning. (Detergent solution in first bucket/ rinse water for mop in second/ surface rinse on deck and/or bilge surfaces in third).

Step 4 – vacuum cleaning: Perform a HEPA vacuum again as specified in “Step 2”.

Step 5 – waste disposal: Properly dispose of contaminated materials, in accordance with all applicable Federal, state, and local regulations.

5.1.3 Noise control.

The Contractor will make the maximum use of “low-noise-emission products” as certified by EPA and described by 40 CFR Part 204. Contractor will comply with applicable portions of 42 USC §4901 to 4918.

The Contractor is responsible for complying with all other Federal, state, and local noise control laws and regulations.

5.1.4 Use of recovered materials.

The Contractor will, to the greatest extent possible and at no additional cost to the Government, use recovered materials that meet existing performance standards. The Contractor will be aware that it is the Government’s policy to use, in a cost-effective manner, products composed of the highest percentage of recovered materials practical without adversely affecting performance requirements or exposing vendor employees to undue hazards from the recovered materials.

5.1.5 Booming requirements during the offload or on-load of petroleum products.

The Contractor will provide a containment boom system and boom off the cutter during all petroleum cargo onloads and offloads. The cutter will be boomed off by the Contractor during both shipyard functions and the final bunkering of the cutter by ship's force. The Contractor is responsible to provide the labor to deploy and recover the boom during all operations, including operations conducted by ship's force. The containment boom will at a minimum fully encapsulate the cutter from the wharf wall in front of the cutter to the wharf wall at the stern of the cutter. When moored alongside a wharf that does not provide a fully intact wharf wall that will contain a spill, the containment boom will wrap completely around the cutter on all sides to provide spill containment. For tug and barge configurations, the containment boom will encapsulate both the cutter and the barge, as applicable.

5.2 Housekeeping

The Contractor will accomplish the following, in regards to housekeeping:

Maintain good housekeeping conditions at all times, and provide adequate aisles and passageways in all work areas.

Ensure that all staging platforms, ramps, stairways, walkways, aisles, and…
