No ropes, cables, or guys shall be fastened to or attached to any existing nearby trees for anchorage.

U2.5.1U Tree Protective Structures: Where, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, trees may possibly be defaced, bruised, injured, or otherwise damaged by the Contractor's equipment or by his other operations, he may direct the Contractor to provide temporary protection of such trees by placing boards, planks, or poles around them.

U2.5.2U Restoration of Damaged Trees: Any tree scarred or damaged by the Contractor's equipment or operations shall be restored as nearly as possible to its original condition at the Contractor's expense. All scars made on trees not designated on the plans to be removed by construction operations shall be coated as soon as possible with an approved tree wound dressing. Trees that are to remain, either within or outside established clearing limits, that are damaged by the Contractor so as to be beyond saving in the opinion of the Contracting Officer shall be immediately removed, if so directed, and replaced with a nursery-grown tree of the same species and size.

U2.5.3U Herbicide: Herbicide use will be restricted to those areas directed to be sprayed by the Contracting Representative.

U2.6.1.1.1U For construction activity that disturbs less than 1 acre of land the Contractor shall implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) outlined in Section D, Erosion and Sediment Controls.

01431-3

U2.6.1.2 WETLANDS, EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROLSU:

U2.6.1.2.1 WETLANDSU: The Contractor shall not enter, disturb, destroy, place fill into, or allow discharge of contaminants into any wetlands except as specifically authorized herein. The Contractor shall be responsible for the protection of wetlands on Minot AFB. Authorization to enter specific wetlands identified shall not relieve the Contractor from any obligation to protect other wetlands within, adjacent to, or in the vicinity of the construction site and associated boundaries. Maps showing locations of wetlands within Minot AFB can be obtained from 5 CES/CEIE.

U2.6.1.2.2U The Contractor shall be responsible for providing erosion and sediment control measures in accordance with Federal, State and local laws. This applies in all cases, even for construction activity that disturbs less than an acre of soil. The erosion and sediment controls selected and maintained by the Contractor shall be such that 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 kept to a minimum. The Contractor shall construct or install temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control best management practices (BMPs). BMPs may include, but not be limited to, vegetation cover, stream bank stabilization, slope stabilization, silt fences, construction of terraces, interceptor channels, sediment traps, inlet and outfall protection, diversion channels, and sedimentation basins. The Contractor’s best management practices shall also be in accordance with the Base National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) which may be reviewed at the Minot AFB Environmental Management Office. Any temporary measures shall be removed after the area has been stabilized.

Special measures shall be taken to prevent chemicals, fuels, oils, greases, bituminous materials, herbicides, and insecticides from entering public waters. Water used in on-site material processing, concrete curing, foundation and concrete cleanup, and other waste waters shall not be allowed to reenter a stream if an increase in the turbidity of the stream could result therefrom.

U2.6.3.1 DEWATERING OF GROUNDWATERU: For temporary dewatering of groundwater encountered during construction, the Contractor shall land apply

01431-4 all water generated at the locations indicated on drawings in accordance with Paragraph: LAND APPLICATION.

U2.6.3.1.1 LAND APPLICATIONU: Land application shall follow state requirements; however, no permit will be necessary. "Land application" implies that the Contractor shall discharge water at a rate which allows the water to percolate into the soil. No sheeting action, soil erosion, discharge into storm sewers, defined drainage areas, or discharge into the "waters of the State" shall occur. The Contractor shall contact the State of North Dakota, Division of Water Quality and Permit Program, to discuss the water quality parameters for chemical contaminants (such as chlorine), oil, grease, and total suspended solids and shall ensure that all water intended for land application will meet the state requirements.

U2.6.4 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROLU: 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 cannot 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.

U2.6.5 SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PLANU: The Contractor shall include a Spill Prevention and Response Plan in the Implementation Proposal.

Class II ODCs may be used or specified only with the written approval of the Contracting Officer.

U2.7.5 DUST CONTROLU: The Contractor shall maintain all excavations, embankments, stockpiles, access roads, plant sites, waste areas, borrow areas, and all other work areas free from excess dust to such reasonable degree as to avoid causing a hazard or nuisance. Temporary methods consisting of sprinkling, chemical treatment, light bituminous treatment or similar methods will be permitted to control dust. Dust control shall be performed as the work proceeds and whenever a dust nuisance or hazard occurs.

U2.8 TOXICSU: The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that no employee is exposed to toxic materials like airborne asbestos, lead from lead base paint or polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s).

U2.9 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS (HAZMAT)U: Contractors must obtain an authorization prior to bringing any hazardous materials (Federal Standard 313) on Air Force installations. Contractors must submit all required documentation including appropriate Hazardous Materials Authorization Information Form, Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and projected usage information to 5 CES/CEIE through the Contracting Officer at least 15 days before the HAZMAT is brought onto Minot AFB and facilities within the Missile Field. This review is to ensure that no Air Force restricted hazardous materials are being proposed for use. The contractor will comply with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.223-5.

No liquid wastes of any kind may be put into installation garbage collection containers, or poured into drains, sinks, toilets, or on the ground. Revenue received by the contractor from recycled solid wastes shall offset contract costs. The contractor shall coordinate disposal of RCRA hazardous, state-regulated and liquid wastes from government materials through 5 CES/CEIE via the Contracting Officer.
