1.11. CULTURAL RESOURCES

1.11.1. Historical Structures and Archeological Sites. LAFB has historical structures, buildings, and archeological sites that qualify or potentially qualify for listing on the National Registry of Historic Places (NRHP) and must be protected. Per Section 106 (16 USC 470f) of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), Federal agencies are required to consider the effects of their undertakings on any NRHP or NRHP-eligible property during the planning stage and provide the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP)/State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) with an opportunity to comment.

1.11.2 Approval Requirements. Any project that affects or potentially affects NRHP or NRHP-eligible historic property shall be reviewed and approved by the LAFB Cultural Resources Manager prior to the award of a contract and the initiation of any work. The LAFB Cultural Resources manager maintains a listing of all historic structures, buildings, and archeological sites. There are 171 NRHP-eligible buildings/structures on the LAFB mainbase, Training Annex, Former Kelly Field Annex, and Former Kelly Leaseback. This number will change as buildings are determined ineligible or demolished after mitigation through the Section 106 process, or as other buildings develop historical significance and are added to the listed. The LAFB Cultural Resources manager maintains an updated listing and shall be consulted for any project that affects or potentially affects NRHP or NRHP-eligible historic property

1.11.3 Excavation Requirements. Previous archaeological investigations conducted on LAFB Main Base and the LacklandJBSA Lackland Training Annex (Medina) have identified 76 archaeological sites, of which 52 sites qualify or potentially qualify for listing on the National Registry of Historic Places and must be protected per Section 106 requirements. To ensure protection of these sites, their exact locations are not available for public distribution. Therefore, all projects that involve excavation, regardless of intent, must be coordinated with the Contracting Officer, in association with the LAFB Cultural Resources Manager. The LAFB EIAP coordinator will coordinate all digging permits with the LAFB Cultural Resources Manager.

1.11.4. Cultural Program Manager Compliance. The 24 archeological sites that have been determined not to possess sufficient archeological resource information to meet NRHP-eligibility will still be monitored by the CR PM to ensure compliance with the Archeological Resources Protection Act, the Archeological and Historic Preservation Act and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. Project managers whose projects would result in soil disturbance at these locations shall know that unanticipated or undiscovered archeological artifacts could be unearthed during their projects and shall immediately notify the CRM should this happen. as well as 1.11.5 Non-Investigated Sites. Projects on sites initially not considered as likely to contain archeological materials and therefore not previously investigated shall consider the potential for undiscovered archeological sites that can be encountered during any excavation conducted during their project. If an unexpected discovery occurs, project managers shall notify the CRM and cease further excavation operations until the CRM can inspect the site and if warranted obtain Texas SHPO assistance to evaluate the site for NRHP-eligibility. In order to make an eligibility determination, additional investigation by a properly trained archeological professional to obtain sufficient NRHP-eligibility information may be required.

1.12. NATURAL RESOURCES

1.12.1. Wetlands and Floodplains

1.12.1.1. Protected Waterways. Leon and Medio Creeks are located on LacklandJBSA Lackland Main Base and the LacklandJBSA Lackland Training Annex, respectively, and are considered “Waters of the United States”. As Waters of the US, these waterways are protected and regulated under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and the State of Texas. The LacklandJBSA Lackland Natural Resources Program Manager will obtain any permits required under Section 404 before award of the contract.

1.12.1.2 Wetlands and Floodplains LacklandJBSA Lackland Main Base has 39 sites designated as jurisdictional wetlands that encompass almost 23 acres. Jurisdictional wetlands, like Water of the US, are regulated under the Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and the State of Texas. Portions of LacklandJBSA Lackland Main Base and LacklandJBSA Lackland Training Annex are also located in the 100-year floodplain. Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Air Forces Environmental Impact Analysis Process (EIAP), proposed construction in wetlands and floodplains require and Environmental Assessment (EA) leading to a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and Finding of No Practicable Alternative (FONPA) prior to the award of a contract. Please refer to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)/Environmental Impact Analysis Process (EIAP) section of this document for additional information.

1.13. LANDSCAPING AND GROUNDS MAINTENANCE

1.13.1 All landscaping and grounds maintenance actions need to be considerate of base impacts. LAFB is required by a Biological Opinion from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to reduce its water usage and impact on the Edwards Aquifer, a federally protected groundwater source. High-water demand landscapes are not approved and to ensure such landscapes are not installed on LAFB. The Contracting Officer or his representative, Natural & Cultural Resources Program Manager must approve all proposed plant species before installation.

1.14. NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (NEPA)/ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS PROCESS (EIAP)

1.14.1 LacklandJBSA Lackland AFB, as a federal facility, must comply with NEPA by ensuring that all federal actions receive the appropriate level of environmental analysis. Environmental analyses are completed prior to contract award. Procedures to minimize environmental impacts are included in each contract as necessary.

1.15. NEW PAINT

1.15.1 Restrictions. Current contracts do not allow use any paints or coatings containing mercury in excess of 200 parts per million for interior applications or lead in excess of 0.06 percent lead by weight of the nonvolatile solids for interior or exterior applications. To ensure this standard is met, all paint products used on LAFB should have a date of manufacture after 30 Sept 91. Any excess materials are to be removed from the installation by the contractor. Paints brought onto LAFB will also be coordinated through the Hazardous Materials Program Manager.

1.16. POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCBs)

1.16.1 Turn in all light ballast and electrical equipment suspected of containing Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) to the 802502 CES/CEAN Environmental Flight. The contractor is not responsible for testing for PCBs unless so specified in the contract drawings or specifications.

1.17. SOIL MANAGEMENT

1.17.1. Soil Management at LacklandJBSA Lackland AFB has increasingly become an important planning, programming, compliance, and management issue. 802502 CES/CEAN has prepared a Soil Management Plan (2012) in accordance with Air Force requirements. The procedures described in this document consider cost-effectiveness, efficiency, safety, and timely management of all excess soil either generated on base or brought on base during various construction projects.

1.17.2. Contracts will typically incorporate or reference the Soil Management Plan for purposes of consistent coordination between contractors and 802502nd Civil Engineer Squadron (802502 CES) project managers, design engineers, planners, contracting agents, and environmental program managers. The requirements of the Soil Management Plan are usually applicable to service providers who perform construction or maintenance activities, including utility service activities, conducted on LacklandJBSA Lackland AFB which consist of the Main Base, the LacklandJBSA Lackland Training Annex (LTA), (also known as “Medina Annex”), the Kelly Field Annex (KFA), and the lease-back areas occupied by LacklandJBSA Lackland AFB. If required to comply with the Soil Management Plan, it is important to identify specific actions and associated costs “up front”. The Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) for the contents of this document and its revision is 802502 CES/CEAN. This office will also coordinate with other CE program managers and others as appropriate.

1.18. TREE PROTECTION MANAGEMENT

1.18.1 LacklandJBSA Lackland AFB's Urban Forest trees enhance the beauty of the base as well as reduce air pollutants. These environmentally positive characteristics are lost when trees are improperly sited and installed. In turn, this can cause the base to incur unnecessary maintenance and removal and disposal costs in addition to the initial procurement and installation costs. Therefore, contracts involving planting of trees specify the species to be planted, where they are to be planted, and how they will be planted. Questions should be addressed to the Contracting Officer or his representative, the LacklandJBSA Lackland Natural and Cultural Resources Program manager. Large trees pose a potential hazard liability should they fall or lose limbs that could cause property damage or injury to personnel. To protect trees from potential damage that could occur during the execution of proposed projects, contracts will prohibit the parking of heavy equipment under the canopy of any base tree. Contracts will also require that all trenching or digging be approved by the Natural and Cultural Resources Program manager. Trenching or digging will not be allowed within a tree drip line or within 10 feet beyond a tree drip line to protect below ground root systems.

1.19. PESTICIDES AND PEST CONTROL MANAGEMENT

1.19.1 For all contracts (construction or services) that involve the use of pesticides, the prime contractor must hold both a valid State of Texas Structural Pest Control Board (TSPCB) Commercial Applicator License and a valid State of Texas Commercial Pesticide Business License.

1.19.2 Alternative to 1.19.1 Comply with the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) regulations for pesticide use. Contractors whose contract only requires the application of herbicides (plant pesticides) can opt to comply with either the TSPCB or TDA requirements. However, contractors whose contract involves the non-plant pesticides (i.e., termiticides, insecticides, etc.) must comply with the TSPCB requirements.

1.19.3. Validation. Proof of proper certification and licensure with the TSPCB must be provided to the Contracting Officer or his representative, the LacklandJBSA Lackland Natural Resources Program Manager prior to performance.

1.19.4 Reporting. All pesticides used on LacklandJBSA Lackland AFB properties must be reported…
