1.2 DEFINITIONS

1.2.1 Environmental Pollution and Damage

1.2.1.1 Environmental pollution and damage is the presence of chemical, physical, or biological elements or agents which adversely affect human health or welfare; unfavorably alter eco-logical balances of importance to human life; affect other species of importance to hu-mankind; or degrade the environment aesthetically, culturally and/or historically.

1.2.2 Environmental Protection

01 57 20.00 10 - 2 02/09/09

1.2.2.1 Environmental protection is the prevention/control of pollution and habitat disruption that may occur to the environment during construction. The control of environmental pollu-tion and damage requires consideration of land, water, and air; biological and cultural re-sources; and includes management of visual aesthetics; noise; solid, chemical, gaseous, and liquid waste; radiant energy and radioactive material as well as other pollutants.

1.2.3 Contractor Generated Hazardous Waste

1.2.3.1 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 con-sist of material brought on site by the Contractor to execute work, but are not fully con-sumed 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.

1.2.4 Installation Pest Management Coordinator

1.2.4.1 Installation Pest Management Coordinator (IPMC) is the individual officially designated by the Installation Commander to oversee the Installation Pest Management Program and the Installation Pest Management Plan.

1.2.5 Project Pesticide Coordinator

1.2.5.1 The Project Pesticide Coordinator (PPC) is an individual that resides at a Civil Works

Project office and that is responsible for oversight of pesticide application on Project grounds.

1.2.6 Land Application for Discharge Water

1.2.6.1 The term "Land Application" for discharge water implies that the Contractor must dis-charge water at a rate which allows the water to percolate into the soil. No sheeting ac-tion, 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.

1.2.7 Pesticide

1.2.7.1 Pesticide is defined as any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, de-stroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest, or intended for use as a plant regulator, defo-liant or desiccant.

1.2.8 Pests

1.2.8.1 The term "pests" means arthropods, birds, rodents, nematodes, fungi, bacteria, viruses, al-gae, snails, marine borers, snakes, weeds and other organisms (except for human or animal disease-causing organisms) that adversely affect readiness, military operations, or the well-being of personnel and animals; attack or damage real property, supplies, equipment, or vegetation; or are otherwise undesirable.

1.2.9 Surface Discharge

1.2.9.1 The term "Surface Discharge" implies that the water is discharged with possible sheeting

01 57 20.00 10 - 3 02/09/09 action and subsequent soil erosion may occur. Waters that are surface discharged may terminate in drainage ditches, storm sewers, creeks, and/or "waters of the United States" and would require a permit to discharge water from the governing agency.

1.2.10 Waters of the United States

1.2.10.1 All waters which are under the jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act, as defined in 33 CFR

328.

1.2.11 Wetlands

1.2.11.1 Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a preva-lence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands gener-ally include swamps, marshes, and bogs. Official determination of whether or not an area is classified as a wetland must be done in accordance with the WETLAND MANUAL.

1.3 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

1.3.1 Minimize environmental pollution and damage that may occur as the result of construction operations. The environmental resources within the project boundaries and those affected outside the limits of permanent work must be protected during the entire duration of this contract.

Comply with all applicable environmental Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. Any delays resulting from failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations will be the

Contractor's responsibility.

1.4 SUBCONTRACTORS

1.4.1 Ensure compliance with this section by subcontractors.

1.5 PAYMENT

1.5.1 No separate payment will be made for work covered under this section. Payment of fees associated with environmental permits, application, and/or notices obtained by the Contractor, and payment of all fines/fees for violation or non-compliance with Federal, State, Regional and local laws and regulations are the Contractor's responsibility. All costs associated with this section must be included in the contract price.

1.6 SUBMITTALS

1.6.1 Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation; submittals not having a

"G" designation are for [Contractor Quality Control approval.] [information only.] When used, a designation following the "G" designation identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government.] Submit the following in accordance with Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL
