About this file
This is an environmental compliance specification document for Ellington Field in Houston, Texas, establishing hazardous material (HM) management procedures for contractors. The contractor must implement a Hazardous Material Pharmacy (HAZMART) program complying with Federal, state, and local environmental standards including ISO 14001:2015. Prior to work commencement, contractors shall register with the installation HAZMART, submit a complete Contractor HM Identification Form listing all proposed hazardous materials and quantities, and provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for each material in both physical binder and electronic formats. The Project Manager will verify that only approved HM is used on-site, and the contractor must establish a construction-specific HM storage and distribution location subject to approval by the base environmental manager before work begins.
Monthly reports tracking material delivery, usage, and removal must be submitted to the Project Manager throughout the contract term, with final inventory and removal completed prior to contract close-out and government acceptance of beneficial occupancy. The contractor is required to accompany the Project Manager and installation Environmental Manager on the final project close-out inspection to ensure complete removal of all used and unused hazardous materials from the installation. Hazardous materials covered under this specification include petroleum-based liquids and gases, adhesives, volatile solvents, paints, sealants, epoxies, and chemical cleaners. Attachments G.F.1 and G.F.2 provide supplementary forms for Contractor Hazardous Material Usage Data and close-out procedures.
