including sampling and analysis for waste characterization). This section in the plan shall address all necessary documentation including packaging, shipping, disposal certification, manifests, regulations, permits, notifications, etc., and any other information pertinent to disposal. Note previous sampling has found that the dust and materials in buckets and in concrete lined trench in back of firing range and under back-side of backstop is hazardous waste- the main contaminates are copper and zinc; range manager shall ensure lead based rounds are not used on range.

Safety Measures Employed to Protect Workers: All contractor personnel involved in the maintenance shall have completed training on hazardous waste operations (HAZWOPER) IAW 29 CFR and shall have records provided to the government Contracting Officers Representation (COR) for this training completion prior to start of maintenance cleanup operations.

o In addition, all contractor personnel shall have site specific training completed for operating and proper procedures to follow for a hazardous waste accumulation site.

o Contractor shall prepare and submit to Travis Air Force Base Environmental Office a

Safety Protocol and Plan for Maintenance Cleanup of the contamination on the firing range that shall occur under this SOW. This plan as a minimum shall include the following requirements:

All Personnel involved in the cleanup of the firing range shall be briefed on the hazards physical and chemical that would be encountered on the site at the beginning of each day and the employees shall sign a document that they got this daily briefing.

All contractor personnel shall have documented experience for cleanup operations of contaminated sites this shall include initial HAZWOPER certification, annual recertification, and any other required training and certifications per state and federal regulations.

Training: All contractor personnel shall have completed training on hazardous waste operations (HAZWOPER) IAW 29 CFR and shall have records provided to the government Contracting Officers Representation (COR) for this training completion prior to start of cleanup operations. In addition, all contractor personnel shall have site specific training completed for operating and proper procedures to follow for a hazardous waste accumulation site.

All personnel involved in cleanup operations shall be provided by contractor with the appropriate safety equipment approved by the COR for the cleanup: this equipment at a minimum shall include: rubber gloves. Tyvek suit with hood and Tyvek booties that can go over boots, face shield, at least a half face piece respirator with appropriate canisters for both the dry cleaning operations that may create dust, and canisters for wet cleaning operations that may create contaminated water drops and mist.

At the end of each work day on the cleanup site, the Tyvek suits and booties and respirator canisters (if the respirator cartridges exceeded the manufacturers hours of usage- otherwise the canisters can be used until expired for hours of usage) shall be disposed of in a 55 gallon drum as a manifested hazardous waste.

Respirators, face shield, and rubber gloves can be cleaned with a wet wipe and then dry wipe at end of each day for reuse and those wipes disposed also at the end of each day as a manifested hazardous waste in the 55 gallon drums. Put accumulation start date on each drum and when 50% full for disposal the contractor shall contact the Travis Hazardous Waste Manager.

Contract lead for cleanup shall ensure all cleanup operations per this section are followed and shall stop operations if any safety issues are encountered and not resume cleanup operations until safety issues are resolved.

A. Hours of Operation. Unless notified, the contractor normally shall perform maintenance services every 3rd Friday (for monthly cleanings) or within 48 hours of notification (for emergency calls) from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding holidays and Wing down days, at Bldg. 1379. Two (2) weeks prior notification required to COR and 60 SFS/S4C (Combat Arms) for scheduled shutdown of the range. It is essential contractor coordinate with Range Manager for days and times of cleanup operations (confirmation for this cleanup shall also be obtained 3 days out and a day prior to the scheduled cleanup to ensure no conflicts with range usage).

B. Required Services:

1. Contractor shall provide monthly, 12 annual cleanings scheduled service calls, for deep-clean and maintenance on the firing range (recurring dates for these scheduled service calls shall be scheduled in agreement with 60th SFS at least 2 weeks before cleanup based upon agreement with COR and 60th SFS for range usage dates and times when maintenance can be accomplished). As well as 12 as needed emergency calls that will be completed within 48 hours. This full scope option shall comply with all the steps for cleanup maintenance on the firing range.

1. Empty the buckets when they are no more than 1/3 full of projectile remains. Doing this reduces the weight in the buckets that was a reason for breakage of the buckets when weight was too high. Prior to removal of a bucket (for any reason), a tarp shall be spread over concrete lined trench drain/and under the bucket area to collect any material spilled from removing the bucket. Any spilled material collected on the tarp shall be emptied into the hazardous waste accumulation drum. Any spilled material not collected on the tarp shall be swept up and placed in the accumulation drum.

2. The hazardous waste drum shall be secured from the weather and sealed to prevent any spillage. The drums shall have the accumulation date and proper labels. Containers shall be properly labeled, managed, and manifested in accordance with TAFB Hazardous Waste Management Plan. Because of the weight of metals the hazardous waste drums shall be filled no more than 50% capacity.

3. Test the concrete ditch when dry behind the range with an hand-held XRF for metals and clean the ditch of all debris, and if metal is detected with the XRF handle the material as a hazardous waste by placing in 55-gallon hazardous waste drums and call the Travis hazardous waste manager to pick up the drums immediately when ready for hazardous waste disposal. Also test any solid dry material spilled on the range under and in front of the backstop with the XRF. Model of handheld XRF to consider is the Hitachi X-MET8000 Geo Expert (or equivalent manufacturer) that can measure copper, zinc and lead. Also the Hitachi options of the pole and bi-pod shall be used for ease of operations (or equivalent manufacturer). Renting of XRF could also be considered but because of frequency of cleanup maintenance on range it may be more cost effective to buy a hand-held XRF. Also insure folks who use the XRF are trained in operation, calibration and maintenance of the

XRF.

4. Fix any brackets holding the buckets and replace missing brackets during each bi-monthly service. Replace existing restraining straps holding the buckets, brackets with stainless steel brackets and screws and bolts to ensure rusting and failure of the brackets is less likely to occur. Ensure all buckets are labeled “HAZARDOUS WASTE.” Daily check all buckets;

brackets, and screws; bolts and restraining straps; and service, as necessary.

5. Install new buckets labeled “HAZARDOUS WASTE” every year and at start of this service contract. Ensure that stainless steel bolts and stainless steel washers and locking nuts are used to secure buckets to the brackets (the contractor shall supply all the new buckets annually and any stainless steel bolts, washers and locking nuts and any other supplies associated with the buckets).

6. Contractor shall clean and/or replace dust collector filters as indicated by the photohelic gauge; the filters need to be replaced per manufacturer’s recommendation for the baghouse and disposed of as hazardous waste. The photohelic gauge measures the pressure drop across the filters (clean side vs dirty side). In order to get a starting point (base line) the dust collector shall have clean filters. (Procedure: Start the system up and record the pressure gauge reading. From this point once the gauge reaches 4” above base line the filters shall be changed. The dust collector system at Travis Range has a filter cleaning system called a pulse system. At timed intervals, a blast of compressed air is shot through the clean side of the cartridge filter to dislodge heavier material and dust on the dirty side to prolong the life of the filters. This dust and debris goes into the waste barrel located under the dust collector.

The dust collector has a control panel on it that contains the filter pulse clean timer. The pulse cleaning timer is set to “pulse” the filters at set intervals and needs to be adjusted as the filters load up with material as indicated by the pressure gauge). When replaced, filters need to be disposed of as a hazardous waste.

7. Contractor shall check the photohelic set points and adjust pressure controls as necessary per baghouse manufacturer’s recommendation and following steps in #6 above.

8. Contractor shall empty plastic bullet buckets into the 55 gallon drum supplied by government and replace any buckets that are deteriorated or broken. (NOTE: 55 gallon drum can only be filled to the halfway (50% full) mark due to transportation weight requirements).

9. Contractor shall inspect bullet trap plates, bucket restraining straps, baffles, brackets, screws, joint straps, deflectors, and chambers for wear and tighten joints, if necessary, and shall notify the COR and range manager of any discrepancies. Contractor shall outline these discrepancies on a monthly written report to the COR.

10. Contractor shall pick up debris, and vacuum all accessible range, area under backstop that may have soil (Note this red soil under the backstop has tested positive for metals as outlined under Description of Services 1.5.) and control room floors (to include the in ground 2X4 inch holes, Description of Services 1.7.) using an explosive-proof vacuum equipped with high efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA) vacuum (an example to consider is the Vactagon Single Venturi Explosion Proof Vacuum with appropriate clamps, hoses, and the Aluminum Floor Nozzle and Aluminum Bulk Nozzle- or one from a manufacturer that is of equivalent specifications).

11. Contractor shall wet-wipe the firing platform, removing any dirt, debris and red soil from the surface.

12. Potential metals at the firing range include- Copper, Zinc and Lead. Regulatory levels for these metals are shown below Table B-1. The concrete lined drainage trench behind the firing range shall be tested every 2 weeks by the contractor using the handheld XRF. This shall be completed during the 52 service calls to ensure no metal contamination is present past the below regulatory limits. If levels exceed limits, contractor shall clean all areas and retest to ensure it is below limits. If metals exceeding regulatory limits are found on the range by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) – very heavy fines over $70,000/day per incident could be levied against Travis AFB and subsequently passed along to the contractor.

Total Threshold Limit Concentration (TTLC) for copper shall not exceed 2,500 mg/kg (ppm) for solids and shall not exceed a Soluble Threshold Limit Concentration (STLC) limit of 25 mg/Liter (mg/L); TCLP is not applicable for copper in California.

TTLC for zinc shall not exceed 5,000 mg/kg; and shall not exceed a STLC of 250mg/L;

TCLP is not applicable for zinc in California.

TTLC for lead is 1,000 mg/kg for lead solids and since lead is one of 8 federally listed regulated metals it cannot exceed a TCLP or a STLC limit of 5 mg/Liter (mg/L).
