1.3 DEFINITIONS

A. Archeological Monitor – Archaeologist meeting the minimum requirements set forth in the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Professional Qualification Standards for

Archaeology, who is designated to observe ground disturbing activities during project operations to identify, record and collect archaeological deposits exposed during construction activity for compliance with federal historic preservation laws, regulations, and guidelines. Archaeological monitoring must meet Park Archeology

Office standards and comply with Article VII C (h) of the 1999 Programmatic

Agreement.

B. Archeologically Sensitive Areas - Areas that have been determined to contain, or have the potential to contain, archaeological deposits eligible for listing on the National

Register of Historic Places.

C. Environmental Protection - Environmental protection is the prevention/control of pollution and habitat disruption that may occur to the environment during construction.

The control of environmental pollution and damage requires consideration of land, water, and air; biological and cultural resources; and includes management of visual aesthetics; noise; solid, chemical, gaseous, and liquid waste; radiant energy and radioactive material as well as other pollutants.

D. Class III Landfill - Landfill that accepts non-hazardous waste such as household, commercial and industrial waste, including construction, remodeling, repair, and demolition operations.

E. Contractor Generated Solid Waste - Solid wastes such as building materials, packaging, rubbish, debris, rubble, food waste, wrappers, spent disposable utensils, leaves, weeds, grass, and other organic materials resulting from construction, remodeling, repair, and demolition operations.

1. Rubbish/Debris - Combustible and non-combustible wastes such as paper, boxes, glass, crockery, tin cans, metal, and lumber scrap.

2. Green Waste - Combustible and non-combustible wastes such as leaves tree trimmings, and other organic materials that result from construction or maintenance and repair work.

3. Sanitary Waste – Refuse and scraps resulting from preparation, cooking, distribution, or consumption of food.

F. Contractor Generated Hazardous Waste - Contractor generated hazardous waste means materials that, if abandoned or disposed of, may meet the definition of a hazardous waste. These waste materials would typically consist of material brought on site by the

Contractor to execute work, but are not fully consumed during the course of construction. Examples include, but are not limited to, excess paint thinners (i.e. methyl ethyl ketone, toluene etc.), waste thinners, excess paints, excess solvents, waste solvents, and excess pesticides, and contaminated pesticide equipment rinse water.

H. Environmental Pollution and Damage - Presence of chemical, physical, or biological elements or agents which could:

1. Adversely affect human health or welfare.

2. Unfavorably alter ecological balances important to human life, affect other species of importance to humanity.

3. Degrade the utility of the environment for aesthetic, cultural, or historical purposes.

I. Hazardous Materials – Any material that can be defined as an explosive, flammable, poisonous, corrosive, oxidizing, irritating, or otherwise harmful substance that could lead to death or injury.

J. Hazardous Waste - A hazardous material becomes a hazardous waste if the material has no safe end use in the project.

K. Inert Solids/Inert Waste - Non-liquid solid waste including, but not limited to soil and concrete that does not contain hazardous waste or soluble pollutants at concentrations in excess of water- quality objectives established by local, state, or federal regulatory agencies, and which does not contain significant quantities of decomposable solid waste.

L. Land Application for Discharge Water - The term "Land Application" for discharge water implies that the Contractor shall discharge water at a rate which allows the water to percolate into the soil.
