1.2 SCOPE

1.2.1 The work covered by this section consists of furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, and performing all work required for the prevention of environmental pollution during and as the result of construction operations under this contract except for those measures set forth in other sections of these specifications. For the purpose of this specification, environmental pollution is defined as the presence of chemical, physical, or biological elements or agents which adversely affect human life; affect other species of importance to man; or degrade the ability of the environment for aesthetic and recreational purposes. The control of environmental pollution requires consideration of air, water, and land, and involves noise, solid waste-management and management of radiant energy, hazardous materials, radioactive materials, as well as other pollutants.

1.3 NOTIFICATION

1.3.1 The Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor in writing of any noncompliance with the foregoing provisions and the action to be taken. The Contractor shall, after receipt of such notice, immediately take corrective action.

1.4 AIR QUALITY

1.4.1 The Contractor shall comply with all provisions of any installation Air Operating Permits regarding management of air quality. As required by the installation environmental office, the

Contractor may be required to complete an Air Emissions Questionnaire for each construction activity that is anticipated to generate air emissions. Any equipment or activity that emits or has the potential to emit pollutants or that disturbs solid or liquid materials, which can become airborne, is a source of air pollution that may require a permit. Activities with anticipated air emissions include but are not limited to painting, stripping, cleaning with degreasers or solvents, material hauling, demolition, sand blasting, use of fuel-burning equipment (other than motor vehicles), welding, use of volatile organic compounds or ozone-depleting chemicals, and remediation activities. If required, the Contractor shall submit the completed questionnaire to the

Contracting Officer a minimum of ten (10) working days prior to commencement of work on site.
