Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island

1.0 Background

Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island (MCSF-BI) is a critical logistics hub for the U.S. Marine Corps, managing and maintaining prepositioned equipment and supplies. The industrial nature of these activities results in the generation of various hazardous materials (HM) and hazardous wastes (HW), which require stringent management to ensure compliance with federal, state, and local regulations and to protect human health and the environment. MCSF-BI is classified as a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Large Quantity

Generator (LQG). The Contractor shall support the Government in maintaining compliance with all applicable

LQG requirements. This Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for a Contractor to support MCSF-BI's hazardous waste compliance and management program.

2.0 Scope of Work

The Contractor shall provide the necessary technical and professional services to ensure MCSF-BI's compliance with all applicable environmental regulations concerning hazardous waste. This includes, but is not limited to, the following tasks:

2.1 Hazardous Waste Compliance Support

The Contractor will provide technical and administrative support for the Government's hazardous waste program at MCSF-BI, with a specific focus on reviewing documentation and logging data related to waste streams generated by other on-site Contractors and tenants. The objective is to ensure that all waste characterization profiles achieve a minimum 95% technical accuracy rate upon initial submission to the COR.

The Contractor shall provide the Government with the specific technical details and recommended corrective language required to resolve any identified characterization errors within one (1) business day of notification.

2.1.1 Contractor Waste Oversight & Quality Assurance

• Initial Document Reviews: The contractor shall review, internally QA/QC (quality control), and present for Government approval all waste profiled, turn-in packages, and waste characterization documentation generated by on-site personnel. Along with these packages, the Contractor shall provide written technical justifications and draft corrections for any issues identified during preparation, subject to

Government review and approval. This includes comparing submitted packages against the requirements of RCRA (40 CFR Parts 260-279), MCO 5090.2, and local Florida Department of Environmental

Protection (FDEP) to ensure all required fields are complete and supporting data is present prior to submitting the package to the COR.

• Error Reduction: Proactively identify and correct tenants' and Contractors’ mischaracterizations, improper segregation, or incomplete documentation. The Contractor shall identify deficient turn-in packages and provide a formal deficiency notification to the COR, including all specific, recommended corrective actions. This ensures Government personnel are equipped with the necessary information to direct the generating contractor to make corrections.

2.1.2 Advanced Waste Characterization & Profiling

• Process Documentation Verification: The Contractor shall verify that waste management activities are performed in accordance with the applicable site procedures outlined in work instructions; i.e. ESOH-W-

8.1.1101 (Creating a Waste Profile) and ESOH-W-8.1.9023 (Waste Mgmt Using HMMS).

• Profile Verification: When tenants or on-site Contractors generate new or ongoing waste streams, the

Contractor shall verify the analytical data, Safety Data Sheets (SDS), or generator knowledge applied.

Ensure that the correct RCRA EPA waste codes and DOT shipping descriptions are assigned before the waste is transferred to the 90-day Central Accumulation Area (CAA).

2.1.3 Waste Turn-In & Documentation Control

• Document Checks: The Contractor shall verify that waste turn-in packages adhere to the applicable site procedures outlined in work instructions; i.e. ESOH-W-8.1.1000 (Waste Turn-In 90-Day CAA) and

ESOH-W-8.1.1084 (Completing a DD 1348-1).

• Package Preparation: The Contractor shall review all DD 1348-1 Disposal Turn-In Documents, Uniform

Hazardous Waste Manifests (UHWMs), and Land Disposal Restriction (LDR) notifications to verify they meet the 95% first-pass accuracy standard defined in Section 7.0 prior to presenting them to the designated government representative for signature.

2.1.4 Targeted Inspections & Corrective Actions

• Unannounced Spot Checks & SAA Audits: Conduct targeted, unscheduled site documentation checks and weekly observations of all tenant and Contractor-operated Satellite Accumulation Areas (SAAs) and the 90-day CAA in accordance with ESOH-W-8.1.1001. The Contractor shall actively monitor the installation footprint to ensure that all generation points comply.

• Waste Segregation & Container Verification: Physically inspect drums and containers at the point of generation to observe waste segregation practices and document any deviations from waste segregation protocols. The Contractor shall open SAA drums (as safely appropriate) or observe operations to verify that incompatible wastes are not mixed, wastes are being deposited into the correct, dedicated drums, and containers are structurally sound and kept closed unless actively adding waste.

• Labeling Compliance: The Contractor shall inspect all waste container labels as part of their weekly

SAA checks. Discrepancies such as missing data, incorrect waste codes, or illegible text shall be documented as deficiencies and reported in the Weekly SAA Inspection & Deficiency Log.

• On-the-Spot Corrections: Provide immediate, on-the-spot correction and guidance to tenant and

Contractor personnel when segregation, container management, or labeling errors are discovered. The

Contractor shall instruct the responsible party to rectify the issue. If the issue cannot be corrected within one (1) hour, the Contractor shall document the deficiency for elevation to the COR.

• Root Cause Mitigation: Track recurring SAA compliance trends (e.g., specific shops consistently mixing wastes or mislabeling drums). Develop trend reports and issue formal corrective action recommendations to the government to address the root causes of tenant and Contractor non-compliance.

• Dispute Handling: In the event of a dispute where a generating Contractor challenges the findings or corrective instructions provided, the Contractor shall elevate the issue in writing to the COR within two

(2) business hours for a final government determination.

2.1.5 Regulatory Compliance & Reporting

• Agency Adherence: Ensure all hazardous waste management activities strictly comply with MCO

5090.2, RCRA (40 CFR Parts 260-279), DOT regulations, FDEP, and local MCSF-BI Environmental

Standard Operating Procedures (ESOPs).

• Recordkeeping: Maintain comprehensive, audit-ready records of all hazardous waste activities, manifest logs, and biennial reporting data within the designated environmental management systems, which include the Enterprise Environmental, Safety, and Occupational Health Management Information

System (EESOH-MIS) and the Hazardous Materials Management System (HMMS).

2.1.6 Environmental Compliance Training

The Contractor shall develop and deliver environmental compliance training to installation personnel, specifically targeting designated Satellite Accumulation Area (SAA) operators and waste handlers.

• Formal Training: The Contractor shall conduct four (4) formal training sessions per year (approximately one per quarter). Sessions may be done in a classroom setting or training lesson plan shared digitally.

• Scope and Duration: Each session shall be approximately two (2) hours in length and planned to accommodate an estimated 15 to 25 students.

• Government-Furnished Items: The Government will provide the training venue (classroom), a projector, and access to the Marine Corps Enterprise Network (MCEN) for virtual sessions via

MS Teams.

• Training Materials: The Contractor shall be responsible for developing and updating training materials (e.g., slide decks, handouts, knowledge checks) for Government review. The

Government will provide the Contractor with the previous year’s training materials to serve as a foundational template.

• On-the-Spot Training: The Contractor shall provide informal, on-the-spot corrective training to SAA operators during weekly SAA inspections to immediately address identified discrepancies (e.g., demonstrating how to properly complete a label). This is an ancillary duty and is not a separately measured deliverable.

• Recordkeeping: The Contractor shall maintain accurate attendance rosters for all formal training sessions and enter training records into the Government's designated tracking system within two (2) business days of course completion.

2.2 Workload, Frequency, and Facility Footprint

To facilitate accurate pricing for administrative and compliance support, the historical workload and geographic scope are defined as follows:

• Monthly Disposal Event: The Contractor is responsible for reviewing and verifying the accuracy of all required documentation, profiles, and turn-in packages for one (1) consolidated Hazardous Waste disposal pickup event per month.
