VERSION 7 August 2016

Business Practices for Environmental Compliance For Projects and Services

PART 1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

1.0 Scope

A. These Environmental Business Practices identify processes necessary to support environmental compliance for contracted work at Cheyenne Mountain AFS (CMAFS). The requirement for environmental compliance resides in the Regulatory Requirement and not with this document. Air Force Instruction 32- 7001, Environmental Management (Section 2.30.) requires CMAFS to identify environmental requirements that pertain to all contracts and all work performed on behalf of the United State Air Force. This includes Construction, Contract Services and GPC Services.

B. These Environmental Business Practices apply to all contracted work on CMAFS, regardless of funding source or contracting agent. These Environmental Business Practices are not contractual in nature, rather CMAFS specific guidelines for meeting environmental requirements outlined in the Federal Acquisition Regulations and standard contract language pertaining to environmental compliance.

C. Information provided in these Practices does not relieve the Contractor or other personnel from responsibility to comply with all state, local, and federal environmental laws, regulations and operating standards during performance of work on CMAFS. These Environmental Business Practices include Air Force Directives, Instructions, as well as CMAFS specific procedures.

CMAFS ensures Contractor compliance through an Environmental Deliverables List, periodic inspections of the work site and any material storage sites maintained by the Contractor on CMAFS grounds.

D. Contractors shall cooperate with government representatives to take corrective action and address deficiencies, if any, by the Contractor.

Contractors shall participate in Cheyenne Mountain’s EMS by way of understanding, implementing, and integrating the 21 SW Environmental Policy into work activities. A copy of the 21 SW Environmental Policy is attached to this document.

1.1 Environmental Permits, Licenses, Certifications, and Training

A. Contractors shall obtain all permits, licenses, certifications, and training required to perform the work stipulated in the contract unless otherwise stated in contracting documents.

DRAFT

VERSION 7 August 2016

B. Contractors shall prepare all documentation required, including notices of intent and permit applications.

1. Contractors must originate all permit applications applicable to its activities and submit them to the Contracting Officer (CO) or Construction Manager for review and coordination by CMAFS Environmental Office.

2. The Contracting Officer will return incorrect or incomplete documents for correction and re-submittal during the contract administrative period.

3. Once coordination is completed, Contractors shall submit the documents to the appropriate regulatory agency.

4. Under no circumstances shall Contractors directly contact the regulatory agency concerning environmental issues for which CMAFS may be liable without prior approval from the CO.

1.2 Project Management: Documentation Checklist

A. Prior to approval of the 95% Design Analysis, 721 CES project managers shall confirm that environmental planning reviews have been completed, and that the resulting documentation is included with the project files:

1. NEPA environmental review: completed AF Form 813 goes in the file.

2. Section 106 cultural resources review: Memorandum for Record from Cultural Resource Manager goes in the file.

B. 721 CES Project Managers shall ensure that the following documentation is provided to CES/CEIE personnel for evaluation and/or action as soon as it is received. Not every project will generate all of the documents listed below:

1. Permits – NOI, NOT, Demolition,, 404, Air Quality, Asbestos

2. Surveys and sampling results

3. Solid and Hazardous Waste Disposal Manifests

4. Green Procurement Form

The number and type of forest trees removed per project must be reported to Environmental-Natural Resources Manager.

For projects that will require the removal of urban trees (decorative trees near buildings) replanting must take place on a one-for-one basis to match species type and size to the limit of 10 feet in height. If replanting the removed tree, all feasible measures should be taken to ensure survivability of the tree. All replanted or restocked trees must remain viable through completion of project.

Transplanted pines are a prime target for the Ips (engraver) beetle, which are attracted to environmentally stressed trees. Landscape planted spruce are highly susceptible to the white pine weevil which can cause significant damage to the tree crown. Transplanted pines and spruce shall be sprayed to prevent bark beetle infestation with a persistent formulation with the active ingredient Carbaryl, as specified on the USAF approved pesticide list.

Spring-planted pine and spruce shall be sprayed within one week of transplanting. The Natural Resources Manager will be available to consult on spraying activities. All pesticide use shall be coordinated through the HAZMAT and Pest Management Coordinator. The contractor transplanting trees will be responsible for the required spraying for one year. The Contractor must include a listing of tree types and GIS coordinates for all trees transplanted to Environmental prior to closure of contract.

The following shrub and tree species are recommended for plantings where native species are required:

E. Unintentional vehicle collisions with larger wildlife (deer, bear, etc.).

1. If the mishap causes personal injury to vehicle occupants necessitating medical attention, call 911 immediately to initiate emergency response;

call CCC at 474-3575/3558 to report the incident, CCC will forward the report to CMAFS Security Forces

2. In accordance with Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) directive (letter dated 12 May 2016), CMAFS officials have the discretion of determining whether the animal involved in the collision should be released or euthanized, depending upon the severity of its injuries. If a decision is made to euthanize the animal, CMAFS staff have the authority to perform that action per the above cited letter from CPW.

3. If the driver of the vehicle involved in the collision wants to salvage the meat of a euthanized animal, the driver must go to the CPW office at 4255 Sinton Road (227-5200) to obtain a free salvage permit. If the animal is a male, the head must be brought to 4255 Sinton Road to validate the permit.

4. If the driver does not want the meat, the CMAFS Fire Department should be contacted to allow them to file for the salvage permit.

5. Large road kill on NORAD Road must be reported to the NR Manager at 439-2447.

F. Bear Sightings and Aggressive Bear Incidents

1. Call CCC at 474-3575/3558 or 439-2447 NR Manager to report the sighting. For your personal safety, do not approach the animal.

2. Document any damage caused by the bear.

3. After hours CCC should contact Pueblo State Patrol at (719) 544-2441 to report a nuisance and potentially dangerous bear if the bear poses a threat to life and/or property.

G. Migratory Bird Treaty Act Compliance

1. Contractors shall take no action that will result in the disturbance and/or taking of migratory birds or active migratory bird nests, as defined in the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, 16 USC 703-712. If an active migratory bird nest is discovered in a tree or in tree branches that require removal, that tree will be marked as “off limits” to disturbance until the young birds have fledged and the nest is no longer active. If an active nest presents a human health or safety risk, or a security risk, a permit from the Migratory Bird Permit Office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will be required prior to removal of the nest. In such a case the CMAFS NR Manager will be notified as soon as possible to initiate the permit process. A list of federally protected migratory bird species may be found at 50 CFR Part 10.13.”

H. Threatened & Endangered Species

1. No threatened or endangered plant or animal species have been identified to date at Cheyenne Mountain AFS. Additionally, the State of Colorado imposes no ‘species of special concern’ protective measures. There are currently no jurisdictional wetlands on Cheyenne Mountain AFS [

2.10 Cultural Resources

A. Project Scope and Boundary. Contractors shall stay within the project scope and spatial boundary specified in the final Design Analysis Report. If the scope or boundary must be changed then the contractor shall notify the Cultural Resource Manager (CRM) through the CMAFS Construction Manager (CM) as soon as possible, and wait for approval.

B. Working in the Historic District.

1. The Historic District consists of the entire inner mountain complex, and extends outside the tunnels to the north and south portal secure-area perimeter fences. The following features within the Historic District are protected and shall not be altered or modified unless expressly described in the final Design Analysis Report:

a. CMC tunnel walls;

b. B113/114 (north portal guard shack), B200 (south portal guard shack), and B12100 (traffic check house at main blast door);

c. Exterior steel plate shells (exterior walls and roofs) of the 15 primary mission facilities (B1000-B11000, B12104, B12106, B12108, B12132);

d. Seismic mitigation features (springs under buildings, gangways between buildings, and flexible utility lines between buildings).

2. Avoid expanding or creating new penetrations through protected buildings’ exterior steel shells (exterior walls and roofs). Prioritize using pre-existing conveyances. If new conveyances are necessary, to the maximum extent possible restrict new penetrations to buildings’ undersides, the tops and bottoms of exterior walls, or roofs. Coordinate with CMAFS CRM for clarification or further guidance.

C. Inadvertent Discoveries. If suspected archaeological materials or human remains are uncovered as a result of ground-disturbing activities, or are observed along gullies, dirt trails, road cuts, or similar as a result of erosion, then the contractor shall follow these procedures:

1. Immediately stop activity at and near the location of discovery and report the discovery

2. The on-site supervisor (or other POC as appropriate) contacts the Security Desk in B100 and reports the following:

a. Precise location of discovery

b. Contact information for on-site supervisor (or other POC as appropriate)

c. Date/Time of discovery

d. Description of discovery (possible archaeological material, burial, human remains)

e. Description of activity(ies) that led to discovery

3. Establish a 150-foot buffer zone around the location of discovery. Ground-disturbing activity must cease within the buffer zone, but may continue outside of it.

4. Avoid the buffer zone. Stay on existing roads if traveling through buffer zone.

5. Notify the CM and/or the CRM. Do not resume work in the buffer zone until clearance comes from the CRM through appropriate channels.

D. Accidental Damage to Historic Properties. The entire Cheyenne Mountain Complex and the restricted areas outside the North and South Portals (from each portal to its security fence, and including the traffic check-houses B113/114 and B200) is a Historic District determined to be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. In cases where a building or other area within the Historic District sustains accidental damage, the contractor shall follow these procedures:

1. Control the cause of the damage and ensure the safety of workers / bystanders.

2. The on-site supervisor (or other POC as appropriate) contacts the Security Desk in B100 and reports the following:

a. Precise location of the incident and/or damage

b. Contact information for on-site supervisor (or other POC as appropriate)

c. Date/Time of incident that caused damage if known

d. Description of damage

e. Description of activity(ies) that led to damage

3. Establish a 150-foot buffer zone around the affected area and stop all activity within it.

4. Notify the CM and/or the CRM. Do not resume work in the buffer zone until clearance comes from the CRM through appropriate channels.
