These forms will be furnished to the Contractor. This form shall be properly completed by filling out all the heading blank spaces and identifying each item submitted.

Special care shall be exercised to ensure proper listing of the specification paragraph and/or sheet number of the contract drawings pertinent to the data submitted for each item.

3.6 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURE

Submittals shall be made as follows:

A. Procedures

The Contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer six copies of all submittals of items requiring shop inspection and all other submittals required of these specifications.

Submittals will be returned electronically.

B. Deviations

The column "variation" of ENG Form 4025 shall be checked for Submittals which include proposed deviations. The Contractor shall set forth in writing the reason for any deviations and annotate such deviations on the submittal.

The Government reserves the right to rescind inadvertent approval of submittals containing unnoted deviations.

3.7 CONTROL OF SUBMITTALS

The Contractor shall carefully control his procurement operations to ensure that each individual submittal is made on or before the Contractor scheduled submittal date shown on the approved "Submittal Register."

3.8 GOVERNMENT APPROVED SUBMITTALS

Upon completion of review of submittals requiring Government approval/acceptance, the submittals will be identified as having received approval/acceptance by being so stamped and dated. Three copies of the submittal will be retained by the Contracting Officer and three copies of the submittal will be returned to the Contractor.

3.9 INFORMATION ONLY SUBMITTALS

The Contractor is responsible for preparing and retaining two copies of all FIO submittals in a pair of "Government" files at the Contractor's field office. One copy of the FIO submittals will be used for historical record and transferred to the customer upon completion of the project.

The second copy will be used for Quality Assurance reviews but may be retained at the Government's field office at the discretion of the Quality Assurance Representative. Both files shall be maintained in good order and filed by specification section. A minimum of 30 days in advance of the Approval Needed By date (Submittal Register, ENG Form 4288, Contractor Schedule Dates, Item "t") the Contractor shall submit only the transmittal form (ENG Form 4025-R) to the Government. The required submittal information shall be complete and available for review at the Contractor's field office. Government personnel will perform discretionary Quality Assurance reviews of the submittals as necessary to satisfy the Government that the Contractor's Quality Control system is providing the specified level of quality.

Submittals that contain both Government Approval and Information Only items shall be processed as Government Approved Submittals. Submittals that do not meet the contract requirements will be assigned an "FX" action code by the Contracting Officer, and the submittal deficiencies will be forwarded to the Contractor. The Contractor shall resubmit for Government Approval and in accordance with Paragraph "Disapproved Submittals". Normally submittals for information only will not be returned. Approval of the Contracting Officer is not required on information only submittals. The Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to resubmit any item found not to comply with the contract. This does not relieve the Contractor from the obligation to furnish material conforming to the plans and specifications; will not prevent the Contracting Officer from requiring removal and replacement of nonconforming material incorporated in the work; and does not relieve the Contractor of the requirement to furnish samples for testing by the Government laboratory or for check testing by the Government in those instances where the technical specifications so prescribe.

1.1 REFERENCES (NOT APPLICABLE)

1.2 DEFINITIONS

A. 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 streams would typically consist of material brought on site by the Contractor to execute work but are not fully consumed during 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.

B. Environmental Pollution and Damage - Environmental pollution and damage is the presence of chemical, physical, or biological elements or agents which adversely affect human health or welfare; unfavorably alter ecological balances of importance to human life;

affect other species of importance to humankind; or degrade the environment aesthetically, culturally and/or historically.

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. Hazardous Materials - As defined by the Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) or State Hazardous Control Authority. Hazardous material is any material that is regulated as a hazardous material by the EPA or requires a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), or during end use, treatment, handling, packaging, storage, transpiration, or disposal meets or has components that meet or have potential to meet the definition of a hazardous waste.

Such material includes ammunition, weapons, explosive actuated devices, propellants, pyrotechnics, chemical and biological warfare materials, medical and pharmaceutical supplies, medical waste and infectious materials, bulk fuels, radioactive materials, and other materials such as asbestos, mercury, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

Nonetheless, the exposure may occur incident to manufacture, storage, use and demilitarization of these items.

E. Hazardous Waste - Any discarded material, liquid, solid, or gas, which meets the definition of hazardous material or is designated hazardous waste by the Environmental Protection Agency or State Hazardous Control Authority.

F. Land Application for Discharge Water - The term "Land

Application" for discharge water implies that the Contractor must discharge water at a rate which allows the water to percolate into the soil. No sheeting action, soil erosion, discharge into storm sewers, discharge into defined drainage areas, or discharge into the "Waters of the United States" must occur. Land Application must be in compliance with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.

G. Oily Waste - Those materials which are, or were, mixed with used oil and have become separated from that used oil. Oily wastes also means materials, including wastewaters, centrifuge solids, filter residues or sludges, bottom sediments, tank bottoms, and sorbents which have come into contact with and have been contaminated by, used oil and may be appropriately tested and discarded in a manner which is in compliance with Federal, State and local requirements.

H. Pesticide - Pesticide is defined as any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest, or intended for use as a plant regulator, defoliant or desiccant.

I. Solid Waste - Garbage, refuse, debris, sludge, or other discharged material, including solid, liquid, semisolid, or contained gaseous materials resulting from domestic, industrial, commercial, mining, or agricultural operations.

J. Surface Discharge - The term implies that the water is discharged with possible sheeting action and subsequent soil erosion may occur.
