DOVER AFB SEDIMENT AND EROSION CONTROL

PART 1 – CONTRACTOR PLAN SUBMITTALS

1.1 Sediment and Erosion Control Plans. The project drawings contain a compliant sediment and erosion control plan. It is labeled RECOMMENDED SEDIMENT & EROSION CONTROL PLAN and has been reviewed and approved by Dover AFB Base Civil Engineering personnel to ensure compliance with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) regulations.

1.2 The Contractor shall submit a sediment and erosion control plan for this project. The plan can consist of the plan contained in the contract drawings or a modified version of the contract drawing, or another plan prepared by the Contractor. Whichever plan is selected, the Contractor must submit the plan to Dover AFB Base Civil Engineering for review and coordination to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state regulations.

1.3 Dover AFB Base Civil Engineering will review the submitted plan for compliance and provide comments for incorporation or provide a “Review Complete” status for the plans. Upon receiving a “Review Complete” status, the contractor must file the Notice of Intent with the EPA for this project. The contractor is the holder of the sediment and erosion control permit, not Dover AFB. A copy of the filed Notice of Intent shall be provided to Dover AFB. Note, the EPA does not review drawings, but if they perform an inspection, the drawings must be made available.

1.4 Before initiating construction, the Contractor must schedule a pre-construction meeting for the purposes of discussing sediment and erosion control on the project, to include the Contractor, the associated certified construction reviewer (CCR) and Dover AFB Base Civil Engineering representatives. No construction can begin until the plans have been reviewed, the Notice of Intent filed and the pre-construction meeting has occurred.

PART 2 - CONTRACTROR RESPONSIBILITIES DURING CONSTRUCTION

2.1 The Contractor is required to ensure permit compliance during the term of the permit. To ensure continued compliance, the contractor must have a licensed CCR, as defined by the DNREC sediment and storm water regulations; perform weekly inspections as required by those same regulations.

2.2 A copy of the completed CCR reports shall be provided to Dover AFB Base Civil Engineering at the end of each month. Dover AFB reserves the right to request these reports more frequently if problems persist, or an issue of non-compliance is observed.

2.3 The Dover AFB CCR will perform an independent inspection at their discretion to ensure continued compliance with the submitted plan and contract requirements. A copy of the Dover AFB CCR reports can be obtained by the contractor upon written request.

2.4 In-field changes must be submitted prior to implementation and must be reviewed by Dover AFB Base Civil Engineering. Particularly, environmental compliance changes, i.e. changes to sediment and erosion control practices, will be reviewed by Dover AFB Base Civil Engineering. These requested changes must still comply with all applicable federal and state environmental regulations.

PART 3 – PENALTIES FOR NON-COMPLIANCE

3.1 Dover AFB Non-Compliance Issues

3.1.1 Should non-compliance issues be identified on either the Contractor’s internal CCR report or a Dover AFB CCR report, the Contractor shall correct the issue within the work week (5 work days). If long term repairs are necessary, a continuance of 5 days can be granted. Repeated non-compliance or ignoring non-compliance issues will result in a deficiency notice issued through the Contracting Officer. Deficiency notices shall constitute a violation of environmental requirements and will result in less favorable reviews pertaining to environmental compliance on subsequent projects at Dover AFB.

3.1.2 Continued deficiency notices may result in work stoppage by the Contracting Officer to correct sediment and erosion control issues. This type of work stoppage will not extend the contract completion date.

3.2 Regulatory Non-Compliance Issues

3.2.1. Continued non-compliance issues identified on contractor’s CCR or Dover AFB CCR reports may be forwarded to the EPA enforcement division for their action. EPA enforcement issues resulting from forwarding of CCR reports or from an unannounced EPA inspection will be resolved between the permit holder (Contractor) and the EPA.
