3.2 Accumulation, Storage, and Sampling Wastes

Items that can be considered regulated wastes include, but are not limited to, paints, thinners, solvents, adhesives, acids and caustics compounds, fuels and oils intended for disposal, lead acid batteries, fluorescent light tubes, etc. The contractor shall be responsible for identifying, storing, and accumulating all regulated wastes generated during the course of the project. Contractor is also responsible for sampling and analysis of all containers of wastes generated to obtain an accurate profile of any hazardous characteristics. Sampling and analysis shall be conducted by an accredited laboratory at no additional cost to the government. Based on that analysis, wastes shall be identified as hazardous, prohibited, or non-regulated wastes. Storage of wastes shall be in accordance with Paragraph 1.4 and Offutt’s Hazardous Waste Management Plan.

Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO). If full waste characterization is not available, the contractor will store the waste at one of the 90-day accumulation points; when analysis is complete, the contractor will subsequently move the waste to DRMO. All drum movements to any 90-day or to DRMO by the contractor will be at no additional cost to the government.

Disposal cost for hazardous waste disposal shall be the responsibility of the government.

Prohibited wastes are liquids or liquids containing solids that are prohibited by Omaha code

1C-6 from being disposed of to the sanitary sewer. Contractor shall submit test results for CEV to determine proper disposal. Contractor will be directed to deliver the container to either one of the

90-day accumulation points or to the Conforming Storage Facility on base at no additional charge to the government. Disposal cost for prohibited waste disposal shall be the responsibility of the government.

Special wastes are wastes that require prior approval from the landfill to be disposed of.

These wastes (e.g. fuel contaminated soil) shall be disposed of at either the Douglas County or

Butler County Landfills. The contractor must submit a request for disposal along with all required testing analysis and receive approval of CEV for disposal of special wastes to either landfill. Contractor is responsible for all costs associated with disposal of special wastes.

Non-regulated wastes (e.g. C and D wastes) shall be disposed of at an NDEQ approved landfill.

6. NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES)

PERMITS FOR CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES.

Construction activities (including other land-disturbing activities) that disturb one acre or more are regulated under the NPDES storm water program and require a NPDES Permit for Storm

Water Discharges from a Construction Site. This includes smaller sites that are part of a larger common plan of development that will or has the potential to disturb 1 acre or more of land over the duration of the contract. The contractor is responsible for all material and labor costs associated with the required permit. A copy of the standard permit for construction sites is available on the NDEQ web site.

6.1 Permit Application

Operators of regulated construction sites are required to obtain permit coverage from the

Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ) and to develop and implement a Storm

Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in accordance with the permit. A copy of the

Construction Storm Water- Notice of Intent (CSW-NOI) submittal and the SWPPP required by

1C-8

NDEQ shall also be submitted for approval by 55 CES/CEV. Upon approval from CEV and receipt of the CSW Permit issued by NDEQ a copy shall be submitted for CEV recordkeeping.

6.2 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)

In addition to the NPDES requirements to be included in the SWPPP, the following items shall also be addressed:

- Spill prevention and control for materials and wastes,

- Construction debris and litter management,

- Concrete waste management (including rinsing concrete from trucks),

- Sanitary/septic waste management,

- Liquid waste management.

Prior to beginning construction the contractor shall have both a NDEQ CSW-NPDES Permit and approval of the SWPPP from CEV.

6.3 Grading and Erosion Control

Temporary and permanent structural practices shall be installed in accordance with the City of

Omaha Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Manual (copies available from the city of Omaha

Public Works Department) and maintained in accordance with the issued NPDES permit requirements to eliminate sediment and other contaminants from leaving the construction site.

Documentation of all inspections required by the permit shall be kept on site in accordance with the permit and copies of all documentation shall be submitted for CEV recordkeeping within two

(2) days of the completion of the document. Any deficiencies with the SWPPP discovered during the course of the project shall be corrected immediately.

6.4 Construction Activities Less Than One Acre

Construction activities that disturb less than one acre require the submittal, for CEV approval, of a SWPPP (IAW NDEQ permit requirements) and the installation and maintenance of temporary and permanent structural practices (IAW the City of Omaha Soil Erosion and

Sediment Control Manual) to eliminate sediment and other contaminants from leaving the construction site. Inspections of the control structures are required every month and after any 0.5 inch or greater rain.

7. NPDES PERMIT FOR DEWATERING OPERATIONS

All dewatering operations (including, but not limited to, pumping from an excavation, lowering

1C-9 the groundwater level via well points, hydrostatic testing, etc.) require dewatering permits issued by NDEQ. The contractor is responsible for obtaining and meeting all the requirements of dewatering permits. A copy of all NOI for the permit shall be submitted to CEV for review and approval. No dewatering operation shall occur until a permit has been issued by NDEQ to the contractor and submitted to CEV for verification. Copies of all reports, inspections, analytical testing, etc. required as part of the permit requirements shall be submitted to CEV within two (2) days of completion. If any of these items are to be submitted to NDEQ, a copy of the submittal letter to NDEQ will accompany the CEV submittal. For dewatering in areas with contaminated groundwater, the contractor shall be responsible for weekly sampling and analysis for priority pollutants (VOCs and semi-VOCs, metals, etc.) in accordance with the permit requirements. In addition, the contractor shall submit for CEV approval the method of disposal of the water.

Generally, if analysis indicates the contamination in the water exceeds the permit limits, the contractor, with the approval of CEV, can discharge the water to the sanitary sewer. If analysis indicates contamination levels below the permit limits, the contractor, upon CEV approval, can discharge the water to the storm sewer. The contractor shall be responsible for all the material and labor cost associated with the requirements of the permit and discharging the water to either type of sewer based on the weekly analytical results. The contractor is not responsible for any sewer fees for disposal of effluent from a dewatering operation to the sanitary sewer.

8. DELIVERY AND STORAGE OF MATERIAL. The contractor shall use only established roadways, entrances, and exits as prescribed by the Government Construction Representative.

Government Construction Representative. Materials quantity receipt shall be given to the

Government Construction Representative upon delivery of materials to job site.

9. AIR PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

The following air emission units, when involved as part of a construction project, require issuance of a construction permit (in accordance with NDEQ Title 129, Chapter 17, Section 001) prior to beginning construction work associated with the emission unit. The permit application will be completed by 55 CES/CEVC after being notified by the contractor of this need/requirement. The contractor must allow approximately 90 days between the start of the permit application and issuance of the permit:

10. NONHAZARDOUS SOLID WASTE DIVERSIONS.

In keeping with the Air Force solid waste diversion rate goal, the contractor will divert at least

40% of the construction and demolition debris generated during the project. The waste may be reused, recycled, sent to a waste-to-energy incinerator, or managed in another approved manner that keeps it from going to a landfill. Some items that can be recycled or reused are scrap metal, cardboard, concrete, wood, and asphalt. The contractor will track and report the amount of construction and demolition debris disposed in a landfill, recycled, or sent to a waste-to-energy incinerator each quarter.
