For the purpose of this specification, environmental pollution is defined as the presence of chemical, physical, or biological elements or agents which adversely affect human life; affect other species of importance to man or degrade the ability of the environment for aesthetic and recreational purposes. The control of environmental pollution requires consideration of air, water and land, and involves noise, solid waste-management and management of radiant energy and radioactive materials, as well as other pollutants.

1.2 APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: In order to prevent, and to provide for abatement and control of, any environmental pollution arising from the construction activities of the contractor in the performance of this contract, the contractor shall comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws, and regulations concerning environmental pollution control and abatement.

1.3 NOTIFICATION: The Contracting Officer will notify the contractor in writing of any noncompliance with the foregoing provisions and the action to be taken. The contractor shall, after receipt of such notice, immediately take corrective action. Such notice, when delivered to the contractor, shall be deemed sufficient for the purpose.

1.4 IMPLEMENTATION: Prior to commencement of the work, the contractor will meet with representatives of the Contracting Officer to develop mutual understandings relative to compliance with this provision and administration of the environmental pollution control program.

1.5 REPORTING OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS BY CIVILIAN CONTRACTORS: IAW FAR Clause 52.223-3, each Contractor must provide the Contracting Office (CO) with a list of proposed Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) that it plans to use on the installation during the performance of the contract. IAW AFI 32-7086, contractors must obtain Air Force authorization prior to using HAZMAT on an Air Force installation, and must report usage data to the Environmental Office (RIOCV). This includes fuels used to run generators and other construction/maintenance equipment.

1.5.1 Contractors shall submit through the CO to RIOCV, Safety Data Sheets (formerly known as Material Safety

Data Sheets or MSDS’s), for all potentially hazardous materials/products that will be brought on to the installation.

1.5.2 RIOCV will review all potentially hazardous materials and identify the materials deemed as HAZMAT that require tracking. RIOCV may remove any materials from consideration for use by the Contractor that contain ingredients prohibited buy the AF or other regulatory agency.

1.5.3 RIOCV will communicate to the Contracting Officer Representative the list of HAZMAT that will require AF-

EESOH-MIS tracking. Those materials will require the completion of one Contractor HAZMAT Product Request Form (PRF) per HAZMAT by the Contractor. RIOCV will provide the Hazardous Material Form to the Contractor and can assist the Contractor with this documentation if requested.

1.5.4 RIOCV will complete their portion on the Contractor PRF and load all information from the forms into the AF-

EESOH-MIS data system. The Contractor will also retain a copy of their Contractor HAZMAT PRF for the duration of the specified project.

1.5.5 If the contractor needs to bring a material on the installation that was not included in the original HAZMAT listing, the contractor must first notify the CO and then obtain prior authorization, if RIOCV determines the material to be a HAZMAT.

1.5.6 The Contractor will submit a Contractor Material Usage Data Sheet provided by RIOCV to the CO once a month for contracts over 60 days. For contracts less than 60 days, a Material Usage Data Sheet will be submitted by the Contractor to CO at the completion of the contract.

1.5.7 The CO will provide a copy of the Usage Data Sheet to RIOCV.

1.5.8 Any HAZMAT brought on site for the contract and not used in its entirety will be removed from the installation by the Contractor. If HAZMAT can be used in another contract at this installation, please contact RIOCV for assistance.

1.5.9 RIOCV is ready to assist the CO and Contractor in any way to simplify and expedite this reporting and tracking procedure. Please contact RIOCV (330-2098) with any questions.

1.6. Asbestos free materials certification and testing.

1.6.1 In performing this contract, the Contractor shall not use asbestos or asbestos-containing building materials during construction, renovation, and for modernization of this facility and shall provide to the Contracting

Officer (CO) a signed statement, prior to final acceptance, indicating that to the best of its knowledge, no asbestos-containing building materials were used during construction, renovation, and for modernization of this facility. The Contractor’s certification under this paragraph is considered to be a material requirement of the contract and AFRL/RI may withhold payment pending submittal and receipt of an acceptable certification.

1.6.2 The AFRL/RI CO may authorize sample testing of contractor building materials used during construction, renovation, and for modernization of this facility to very that they are asbestos-free. AFRL/RI will bear the facility to verify that they are asbestos-free. AFRL/ RI will bear the expense of this testing unless the testing reveals that the contractor used asbestos-containing building material in performing this contract. If asbestos-containing material is found, the Contractor shall remove and replace the asbestos-containing material and decontaminate the site of asbestos contamination caused by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government. In addition, the Contractor shall bear the expense of the original testing and retesting to determine that the asbestos removal and site decontamination are satisfactorily completed.
