ATTACHMENT J-6

A. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY INFORMATION INSTRUCTIONS AND TERMS

AND CONDITIONS:

The Contractor is advised that he, not the Government, is responsible for obtaining all hazardous property information regarding the location, quantity, and content of any other hazardous property present on the ship(s). It is the contractor's responsibility to ensure compliance with all Federal, State, or local laws or regulations pertaining to these ship(s).

FUEL AND OIL RESIDUALS: The Contractor is cautioned that fuel and oil residuals that are present on these ship(s) may be a RCRA regulated waste. Pre-disposal documentation includes liquid load documentation which provides tank soundings and the estimated volume of fuel and oil remaining in these tanks after stripping to low suction.

SODIUM CHROMATE: All tanks containing water which was added prior to 1990 for stability purposes while the ship was active or undergoing inactivation have been tested for sodium chromate concentrations.

The pre-disposal documentation includes these results and identifies any water tanks that remain onboard with regulated concentrations of chromate.

COATINGS: Ships may contain paint coatings that are PCB, lead, zinc oxide or chromate based. Due to the age of the ships, all coatings must be assumed to be PCB, lead, zinc oxide and/or zinc chromate based.

The contractor must implement controls required by OSHA and other regulations concerning worker safety and environmental compliance.

ASBESTOS:

(A) Ships of this type may contain asbestos in the following applications but are not limited to:

bulkhead and pipe insulation bulkhead fire shield uptake space insulation exhaust duct insulation some electrical cable materials brake linings floor tiles and deck underlay steam, water and vent flange gaskets flexitalic gaskets garlock seals shaft packing valve packing pipe hanger inserts weld shop protectors and bum covers any other type of thermal insulating material

(B) The access door(s) to compartments containing asbestos insulation have been labeled to indicate that asbestos is present and whether the asbestos insulation is in a friable or non-friable condition. The pre-disposal documentation includes an Asbestos Survey Report which is a compartment listing. The compartment listing does not represent or characterize the total quantity of asbestos containing materials (ACM) throughout the ship. Offerors are cautioned that ACM may also be located underneath non-asbestos containing material. The compartment listing provides notification that ACM is present and whether it is in a friable or non-friable condition. Asbestos is a major health hazard as it enters the air as fibers or dust through operations such as ripout and removal. Compliance with OSHA (29 CFR, Parts 1910 and 1915), EPA (40 CFR, Part 61.02) and other agencies' regulations is required to ensure worker safety and proper disposal of asbestos containing materials. Access to the area shall be restricted to persons whose work requires their presence. Posted asbestos warning signs are not intended to substitute for asbestos danger signs required during asbestos remediation work. THE GOVERNMENT EXPRESSLY DOES NOT

WARRANT OR REPRESENT THAT COMPARTMENTS NOT POSTED WITH ASBESTOS

WARNING LABELS DO NOT CONTAIN ASBESTOS.

(C) The Contractor shall be responsible for the removal and disposal of all asbestos containing material in accordance with applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. Further, each offeror shall rely on his own inspection in determining the method and extent of asbestos containing material removal required under applicable laws and regulations. THE GOVERNMENT EXPLICITLY DOES NOT

WARRANT THAT THE ITEMS IDENTIFIED IN THE ASBESTOS SURVEY REPORT ARE THE

ONLY ITEMS WHICH CONTAIN ASBESTOS IN REGULATED QUANTITIES.

PCB ITEMS:

(A) A polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) inventory of all electrical and electronic equipment that contain or are suspected to contain PCB transformers and large capacitors has been accomplished and is provided with the predisposal documentation. PCB labels are attached to the equipment for easy identification and each equipment is assigned a serialized number on the inventory for tracking purposes. This inventory represents the Navy's knowledge of the quantity of PCB transformers and large capacitors on board. THE

GOVERNMENT EXPLICITLY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE ITEMS IDENTIFIED IN THE

PCB INVENTORY OR ITEMS POSTED ARE THE ONLY ITEMS WHICH CONTAIN PCBs IN

REGULATED QUANTITIES.

(B) A PCB sampling and laboratory analysis survey has been accomplished of potentially PCB solid materials on the ship and is provided with the predisposal documentation. PCBs in concentrations regulated by Federal, State, and local laws and regulations may exist on board the ship. The following applications may be found to contain regulated concentrations of solid PCBs:

Ventilation duct flange gaskets, felt and rubber;

Electrical cable insulation and other non-metallic components of cable;

Fluorescent light ballast starters and potting;

Bulkhead and pipe insulation;

Foam rubber/plastic anti-sweat insulation used on hull surfaces and cold water piping;

Cork hull anti-sweat insulation;

Other rubber items such as pipe hanger rubber blocks, snubbers, bumpers, shock and vibration mounts, pads, Spools, hatch gaskets, 0-rings, packing and grommets, etc.;

Felt gasket and faying material;

Adhesive tapes and double-backed adhesive tapes;

Aluminized paints;

Any oil-based paints;

Any oils and greases.

All regulated PCB items must be removed and disposed of in accordance with applicable Federal, State, and local regulations. THE GOVERNMENT EXPLICITLY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PCB

ITEMS IDENTIFIED IN THE SURVEY REPORT ARE THE ONLY REGULATED PCB ITEMS ON

BOARD, NOR THAT THE SURVEY REPORT IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE QUANTITY OF PCB

CONCENTRATIONS IN ALL LOCATIONS OR MATERIALS ON BOARD.

(C) The Contractor shall be responsible for identifying, handling, and disposing of all items containing PCB contamination in quantities regulated under applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.

All such identification, handling and disposal shall be done in accordance with applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION (OSHA) REGULATIONS:

At a minimum, dismantling and scrapping shall be in accordance with OSHA regulations at 29 CFR Parts 1910 and 1915.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION: All bidders are advised that they shall comply with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, ordinances, regulations, etc., with respect to human safety and the environment during the processing, use or disposal of any material under this contract.

REGULATED SUBSTANCES: PCB, asbestos, or other hazardous or toxic items or components not identified herein may be present on the ship(s). Strict adherence to Federal environmental statutes, U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, State and local environmental laws and regulations are required for this item. The contractor is solely responsible to ascertain the extent to which Federal environmental laws and other State and local statutes and regulations may affect it and comply therewith.

RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT NOTICE: EPA Hazardous Waste Regulations, 40 CFR Part 260 et seq., published at 45 Federal Register 33063-33285, May 19, 1980, became effective on November 19, 1980. These cradle-to-grave regulations, which have civil and environmental penalties for non-compliance, detail the responsibilities of generators, transporters, treaters, storers, and disposers of hazardous waste. While the subject material is not subject to these regulations in its present form, subsequent actions taken with regard to the material may cause a hazardous waste to come into existence.

The Contractor is solely responsible to ascertain the extent to which these regulations affect it and comply therewith.
