SOUTH DAKOTA ARMY NATIONAL GUARD

General Description of Work:

The contractor will conduct a Solid Waste Opportunity Assessment for the South Dakota Army

National Guard (SDARNG) Black Hills Region with three (3) separate and distinct seasonal assessment cycles throughout the calendar year. This is in support of the Environmental Program

Branch (CFMO-EV) compliance program. This waste characterization study will inform decision-making regarding policy and planning to achieve diversion goals and meet criteria outlined in

Army Regulation 200-1, Executive Orders, and applicable state laws. The following sections detail the specific efforts required to accomplish these objectives.

Detailed Description of Work:

Task 1: Kickoff Meeting

The contractor shall schedule and conduct a teleconference kickoff meeting with the appropriate SDARNG Environmental staff within 30 days of contract award. The purpose of the meeting will be to determine project priorities, assess available resources, establish a schedule, and confirm a strategic approach for completing the remaining tasks. SDARNG staff will provide the contractor with any relevant documents, photographs, datasets, etc., necessary for the completion of the tasks described below.

Task 2. Background Research and Review of Existing Waste Stream Data

The contractor shall review and analyze current processes used to evaluate and monitor solid waste metrics for the SDARNG Black Hills Region, focusing on efficiency and accuracy. This review will encompass existing waste calculators; Solid Waste Annual Reporting on the Web Application

System (SWARWeb) including processes and data; vendor utilizations and potentials; and historic and current data. The analysis will cover all solid waste streams, including municipal solid waste

(trash), household recyclables, and production cycle recyclables, to establish a baseline diversion rate for Fiscal Year 2025.

The contractor will also review and document current management practices, and available recycling and waste disposal options at SDARNG facilities in the Black Hills Region. For the purpose of this Scope of Work, SDARNG facilities in the Black Hills Region include the following:

• Camp Rapid Training Facility, to include approximately 7 large enclosures and 5 smaller enclosures

• Range Road Readiness Center

• Rapid City Airport Complex

• Rapid City CSMS

• Belle Fourche Armory

• Spearfish Armory

• Sturgis Armory

• Sturgis, Field Maintenance Site (FMS) #1

• Fort Meade Complex, to include 3-5 dumpsters.

The contractor will review and document available disposal costs at each specified facility.

Task 3: Fieldwork

The contractor will conduct two site visits per seasonal assessment cycle period (totaling six visits across nine facilities) to the facilities identified in Task 2. Visits will occur during the following periods: Calendar Year 2025 Fall/Winter, Calendar Year 2026 Spring, and Calendar Year 2026

Summer. One visit per season will occur on Monday immediately following a drill weekend. The contractor will assess and document solid waste types, containers, and storage areas, and conduct interviews with facility managers and operations staff to validate waste generation and recycling quantities. Drill weekends are typically the first weekend of each month. The second assessment should occur late in the week (Friday or Saturday) 2-3 weeks after the drill weekend. A drill schedule will be provided during the kickoff meeting.

Geospatial location files are not required for these assessments.

Task 4: Opportunity Assessment and Report

The contractor will complete an Opportunity Assessment Report. This report will include the following:

• Estimated Waste and Diversion Weight Total: The estimated weights of waste and recyclables will be derived from survey calculations at each location.

• Waste Reduction Opportunities: Assessment of areas where waste generation can be minimized through adjustments to purchasing practices, operational processes, or employee behavior.

• Recycling and Reuse Options: Exploration of opportunities to divert materials from landfills through the implementation of recycling and reuse programs

• Cost-Benefit Analysis: Evaluation of the potential costs and benefits associated with implementing the recommended changes.

SDARNG CMFO-EV Contribution

• Owner supplies data or documents (existing studies, reports, maps, and other data)

• Right of entry, Coordination of access to the training areas and armories.

Consultant Deliverables
