Dust control shall be performed as the work proceeds and whenever a dust nuisance or hazard occurs.

3.8 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL: The Contractor shall be responsible for providing erosion and sediment control measures in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. The erosion and sediment controls selected and maintained by the Contractor shall be such that local, state, and federal water quality standards are not violated as a result of the Contractor's construction activities. The area of bare soil exposed at any one time by construction operations should be held to a minimum. For areas subject to erosion including, but not limited to, steep slopes, soils spreading areas, and stockpile areas, the Contractor shall disturb as little vegetation as possible, minimize the period of time that the soil is exposed, prevent surface water runoff from flowing across disturbed areas, stabilize disturbed soils as soon as possible, and provide adequate drainage for the increased runoff. Sedimentation/erosion control features may include, but not be limited to, vegetation cover, stream bank stabilization, slope stabilization construction of terraces, interceptor channels, sediment traps, inlet and outfall protection, diversion channels, and sedimentation basins. Runoff management practices should be employed in areas where the potential for storm water contamination exists that can not be addressed by a prevention or source reduction measure. Runoff management procedures may include vegetative swales, reuse of collected storm water, infiltration devices, and detention/sedimentation basins. Any erosion and sediment control measures which are damaged or found to be ineffective shall be remedied by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government. Any areas damaged by erosion shall be repaired by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government.

3.9 CORRECTIVE ACTION: The Contractor shall, upon receipt of a notice in writing of any noncompliance with the foregoing provisions, take immediate corrective action. If the Contractor fails or refuses to comply promptly, the Contracting Officer may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action has been taken. No part of the time lost due to any such stop orders shall be made the subject of a claim for extension of time or for excess costs of damages by the Contractor unless it was latter determined that the Contractor was in compliance.

3.10 POST-CONSTRUCTION CLEANUP OR OBLITERATION: The Contractor shall, unless otherwise instructed in writing by the Contracting Officer, obliterate all signs of temporary construction facilities such as haul roads, work areas, structures, foundations of temporary structures, stockpiles of excess or waste

01430-5 materials, and other vestiges of construction prior to final acceptance of the work. The disturbed areas shall be graded and filled and the entire area seeded.

3.14 ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIAL AND HAZARDOUS

WASTE: This section specifies requirements/procedures for hazardous material authorization/use, hazardous waste management, spill procedures, and reporting.

3.14 1 Hazardous Materials (HM): This contract may require the Contractor to procure and use hazardous materials. HM is products and chemicals that pose a risk to human health and the environment. HM may be flammable, combustible, toxic or corrosive. HM will be tracked from the time it is brought on base until it has been dispositioned into one of four possible conditions: completely consumed, turned in to a recycler, removed from the base for reuse, or turned in as hazardous waste. Strict adherence to Government regulations concerning the use of HM must be observed. Additional USAF requirements exist for the procurement, storage, usage, and disposal of HM. The Contractor is expected to be familiar with and comply with applicable regulations. The following sections outline USAF requirements for procurement, usage, storage, and disposal, but are not complete with respect to Contractor obligations for worker safety. These environmental requirements are not intended to describe all OSHA requirements.

3.14.1.1 Selection of Materials: Environmentally friendly

materials are preferred when possible. Environmentally friendly chemicals do not contain metals such as lead, chromium, cadmium, barium, arsenic, mercury, selenium, or silver. Environmentally friendly chemicals do not contain flammable solvents such as Methyl Ethyl Ketone, Acetone, Xylene, or Toluene.

Chemicals that contain metals or flammable solvents will generate hazardous waste (HW) when the HM is no longer usable. Brushes, rollers, and other painting applicators that come in contact with hazardous characteristic material will also become hazardous waste when no longer usable. Mineral spirit, turpene, and oil based paints are acceptable; however, the resulting thinners/solvents might be flammable and may result in HW. Therefore, these must be handled and disposed as HW in accordance with federal regulations. In most cases, non-flammable or water-based products are non-hazardous and are the preferred type of product. When selecting a product for a given application, consider performance as a major factor when making a selection, 01430-7 but strike a balance between environmental impact and performance of the product. Environmentally friendly material should not result in poor deliverables.
