ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Laughlin AFB

PART 1 GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

1.1 SCOPE: These standards apply to all new construction, demolition, rehabilitation, alteration, modification, repair and maintenance of existing facilities in accordance with Laughlin AFB’s Environmental Management System (EMS).

1.2 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (ems):

A. Compliance with Laws: The Contractor shall comply, and ensure their subcontractor(s) comply, with all applicable Federal, state, and local laws, regulations, ordinances and standards related to environmental regulation.

The Contractor must also comply, and ensure their subcontractor(s) comply, with all specific instructions or directions given to the Contractor regarding environmental matters as a condition of their work performance. Fines and penalties or administrative actions for non compliance levied by regulators as a result of negligence or misconduct may be referred for legal responsibility determination.

B. EMS Policy: The 47 Flight Training Wing is committed to providing a safe and healthful workplace while protecting the natural Environment. To do that, we have identified significant Aspects of the Environmental program on which to focus:

1) Non-Hazardous Materials: Concentrating on solid waste management, we need contractors to keep their sites clean, not allow wastes to blow all over the base, to recycle to the maximum all cardboard, paper, metal, aluminum, and plastic materials and packaging, and transport all solid waste generated to the local landfill, as prescribed in the contract.

2) Wastewater Point Sources: Restrict the introduction of anything into the liquid waste stream on base. Protect sanitary drains, sinks and toilets from industrial input. Protect storm water swales and inlets from contaminated water and industrial liquids.

3) Hazardous Materials and Waste: Identified completely below.

4) Air Emissions: Dust, construction fumes, and products of combustion must be controlled and in some cases more effective management is required as well as amounts quantified. Contact Dan Gallegos 47 CES/CEIE 298-5457 about requirements.

b. The need for a Construction Storm Water (CSW) permit will be based on the most current Texas Commission on Environmental Quality requirements. At present, these requirements are based on runoff from construction sites equal to or greater than 1 acre. Alternatively, areas which cumulatively exceed 1 acre may require use of Best Management Practice (BMP) erosion control measures as outlined in the Base Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. If a CSW permit is required, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and a Notice of Intent (NOI), will need to be prepared and submitted by the Contractor in accordance with the latest requirements. The SWPPP and NOI shall be reviewed by 47 CES/CEIE for completeness prior to being submitted.

c. In areas where a CSW permit is not required, the Contractor is responsible for implementing best management practice to decrease the likelihood of accidental releases of pollutants into unauthorized waterways and pipelines. This would include, but not limited to, the use of temporary erosion and sediment control measures such as silt fences, dikes, berms, and mulching, which would be maintained until permanent drainage and erosion controls are completed and operative.

K. Ozone Depleting Substances: No ozone depleting substances (refrigerants or any other compounds) will be used in any capacity on this project without the written approval of the Contracting Officer endorsed by 47CES/CEIE.
