2.3 WATER RESOURCES

2.3.1 Design for Storm water Management

For projects requiring post-construction storm water management, the contractor will, at a minimum comply with the current edition of Maryland Stormwater Management Guidelines for State & Federal Projects and the Maryland Stormwater Design Manual, Volumes I & II. The contractor may use other storm water management techniques as long as they comply with Maryland laws and regulations. To this end, the contractor is encouraged to integrate comprehensive environmental site design methods into the process when designing storm water controls.

The Contractor will make the use of non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) the first priority when designing storm water management controls. The contractor may use structural BMPs only after all practical non-structural options are exhausted. If the contractor bypasses non-structural BMPs for structural BMPs, the contractor will explain the reasoning for this choice in the design summary to the government. Exposed storm water management ponds, especially ones that contain standing water, are to be used only as a last resort and not at all within the confines of the airfield or flight paths.

The contractor will evaluate the impacts to the overall watershed resulting from the planned construction project and any storm water controls. The contractor will include in this evaluation the impacts of other planned projects in the same watershed that combined may cause synergistic storm water issues beyond the contractors’ own project. If this evaluation uncovers consequences outside of the contractor’s scope of work, the contractor will notify the CO of these issues in the design summary.

2.3.2 Existing Government Storm Water Resources

The contractor will refer, as applicable, to the current version of the following base plans when designing post-construction storm water management for projects:

• JBA General Plan

• JBA Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)

2.7 CONTAMINATED MATERIALS (SOIL and GROUNDWATER)

2.7.1 Prior to any digging or trenching, the contractor shall comply with all conditions identified, as part of the approval. Digging or trenching within 6 feet of an existing groundwater monitoring well is prohibited.

Contractors shall be liable to any damages to monitoring wells resulting from their activities. Should a well need to be abandoned; the work must follow Code of Maryland (COMAR) Tile 26, subtitle 04 (26.04.04.11) for well “Abandonment Standards”. This regulation requires an abandonment report which will have to be generated and signed by a Maryland certified well driller and provided to 11CES/CEA.

2.7.2 Any contaminated soils that are encountered during construction activities shall be immediately reported to the CO and 11 CES/CEA (301-981- 9612).

2.7.3 Construction projects that occur in locations where soil or groundwater contamination is known to exist or identified during construction activities shall comply with all applicable environmental and health and safety provisions. Contractor shall coordinate via the CO with 11 CES/CEA prior to construction activities for a site visit by a MDE inspector. In addition the following provisions shall apply:

2.7.3.1 A written Site Specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) shall be prepared by the contractor IAW CFR Title 29, approved by a Certified Industrial Hygienist and coordinated with 11 CES/CEA through the CO prior to commencement of any construction activities.

2.7.3.2 All personnel working in the construction area shall be familiar with all aspects of the Site Specific HASP. Personnel shall be trained in hazardous waste operations to the extent required by 29 CFR Part 1910.120.

2.7.3.3 During excavation, soils shall be monitored with a photo ionization detector for evidence of contamination. When PID readings above 10 ppm are encountered continuous screening of the excavated soil is required. Soils with PID readings of less than 50 ppm (taken from headspace in a bag) are considered “clean” and can be reused as backfill for the excavation, if suitable. Excavated soil, which exhibits signs of visual impact, shall be considered “contaminated.” Also, soils with PID readings of 50 ppm or greater, shall be considered “potentially contaminated.” If contamination or potential contamination is observed, the material shall be segregated from non-contaminated soils. The material shall be sampled for characterization before off-site disposal at a licensed waste management facility. Sampling and testing of excavated contaminated soils shall be conducted as specified in Section 2.7.3.5.

2.7.3.4 Excavated soil shall be placed in temporary storage (protected stockpiles or covered roll-off box) immediately after excavation.

Stockpiles shall be constructed to isolate contaminated material from the environment including a geo-membrane liner on the ground surface, as well as a liner covering the material to prevent precipitation from entering the stockpile. The ground surface on which the liner is placed shall be free of rocks greater than 0.5 inches in diameter and any other object, which could damage the membrane. The cover material shall be anchored to prevent it from being removed by wind.

Samples of stored material shall be collected at a frequency of once per 25 cubic yards or per each roll-off container, whichever is less. Samples shall be tested for TPH using EPA Methods 8015B (TPH-GRO) and 8015B (TPH-DRO). If the stockpile is known or suspected to have been impacted by/contained hydrocarbons heavier than No. 6 Fuel Oil (e.g., motor oil, lubricants, grease), then in addition to the listed methods, it shall also be tested for TPH using EPA Method 1664M. Stored materials with a TPH concentration that exceeds 50 ppm shall be considered contaminated and shall be treated offsite.

2.7.3.5 Contaminated soil shall be sampled prior to disposal IAW disposal site criteria. Prior to transportation the contaminated soil shall be tested for the following:

• Ignitability

• Percent Moisture

• pH Level

• VOCs (8260)

• PCBs (8080)

• TPH (8015 Modified – Purge & Trap)

• TPH (8015 Modified – Solvent Extraction)

• TCLP Metals (1311 for 8 RCRA Metals)

• Reactivity

• TPH (1664M)*

• TOX/Total Organic Halides (9020)*

* = These analyses are only necessary when characterizing impacts from waste oil or fuels heavier than No. 6 Fuel Oil (e.g., motor oil, lubricants, grease)

All collected analysis data shall be provided via the CO to 11 CES/CEA.

2.7.3.6 Contaminated liquids collected from excavations and stockpiles shall be temporarily stored in appropriate and approved containers. Liquid storage containers shall be watertight and stored to prevent any environmental risk from leaks or spills.

2.7.3.7 Contaminated liquid collected from excavations or stockpiles shall be sampled to the extent necessary to determine appropriate disposal methods IAW federal, state and disposal site regulations. Documentation of all analyses performed shall be furnished to the CO, who will forward to 11 CES/CEA and the treatment facility.

2.7.3.8 Contaminated materials from excavations or stockpiles shall be transported for off base disposal IAW federal and state regulations. All waste manifests shall be coordinated through the CO with 11 CES/CEA for signature prior to shipping, with fully executed copies provided upon disposal.

2.7.3.9 Excavations shall be backfilled with clean material immediately after all contaminated materials have been removed and the satisfactory results of confirmation tests for backfill material, specified in Section 2.3.5, have been approved by 11 CES/CEA.

2.7.3.10 The contractor shall prepare a letter and submit it via the CO to 11 CES/CEA within 45 calendar days of completing work at the site. The report shall be labeled with the contract number, project name, location, date and name of the general contractor completing the work. The letter shall include the following information as a minimum:

• Type of work performed

• Field screening readings

• Quantity of materials removed

• Sampling locations and sampling methods

• Sample chain-of-custody forms

• Source of backfill

• Chemical and physical test results

• Disposal manifests

• Certifications of final disposal

• Drawings to show limits of excavation and contamination and sample locations

• Photographs to document the soil removal, sampling procedures, contaminated material storage, fill placement and grading, and site post-construction

2.8 NATURAL RESOURCES

2.8.1 Any work on base by the contractor may not trench, dredge, drain or create crossings through any wetlands or within the 25-foot (100 feet in some cases) wetlands buffer without appropriate Clean Water Act sections 404 and 401 permitting by regional regulatory agencies and proper clearance via the CO from 11 CES/CEA. Wetland areas must be protected at all times by using proper Soil/Erosion Control Measures (see section) or other US Army Corps of Engineers or state approved methods.

JBA has a Jurisdictional Wetland Delineation Report for the Airfield (dated April 2010) and all other areas (dated March 2004), and Air Force policy regarding wetland management is derived from compliance with Executive Order 11990, Protection of Wetlands, and is detailed in Chapter 3 of Air Force Instruction (AFI) 32-7064 Integrated Natural Resources Management.
