1.2. DEFINITIONS

1.2.1. Environmental pollution and damage: the presence of chemical, physical, or biological elements or agents which adversely affect human health or welfare; unfavorably alter ecological balances of importance to human life; affect other species of importance to humankind; or degrade the environment aesthetically, culturally and/or historically.

1.2.2. Environmental protection: the prevention/control of pollution and habitat disruption that may occur to the environment during construction. The control of environmental pollution and damage requires consideration of land, water, and air; biological and cultural resources; and includes management of visual aesthetics; noise; solid, chemical, gaseous, and liquid waste; radiant energy and radioactive material as well as other pollutants.

1.2.3. Contractor Generated Hazardous Waste: materials that, if abandoned or disposed of, may meet the definition of a hazardous waste. These waste streams would typically consist of material brought on site by the Contractor to execute work, but are not fully consumed during the course of construction. Examples include, but are not limited to, excess paint thinners (i.e. methyl ethyl ketone, toluene etc.), waste thinners, excess paints, excess solvents, waste solvents, and excess pesticides, and contaminated pesticide equipment rinse water.

1.2.4. Pesticide: any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest, or intended for use as a plant regulator, defoliant or desiccant.

1.2.5. Pests: arthropods, birds, rodents, nematodes, fungi, bacteria, viruses, algae, snails, marine borers, snakes, weeds and other organisms (except for human or animal disease-causing organisms) that adversely affect readiness, military operations, or the well-being of personnel and animals; attack or damage real property, supplies, equipment, or vegetation; or are otherwise undesirable.

1.2.6. Land Application: for discharge water implies that the Contractor must discharge water at a rate which allows the water to percolate into the soil. No sheeting action, soil erosion, discharge into storm sewers, discharge into defined drainage areas, or discharge into the "waters of the United States" must occur.

Land Application must be in compliance with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.

1.2.7. Surface Discharge: implies that the water is discharged with possible sheeting action and subsequent soil erosion may occur. Waters that are surface discharged may terminate in drainage ditches, storm sewers, creeks, and/or "waters of the United States" and would require a permit to discharge water from the governing agency.

1.2.8. Waters of the United States: All waters which are under the jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act, as defined in 33 CFR 328.

1.2.9. Wetlands: Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, and bogs. Official determination of whether or not an area is classified as a wetland must be done in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.

1.2.10. Sediment: Soil and other debris that have eroded and have been transported by runoff water or wind.

1.2.11. Solid Waste: Garbage, refuse, debris, sludge, or other discharged material, including solid, liquid, semisolid, or contained gaseous materials resulting from domestic, industrial, commercial, mining, or agricultural operations. Types of solid waste typically generated at construction sites may include:

1.2.11.1. Green waste: The vegetative matter from landscaping, land clearing and grubbing, including but not limited to, grass, bushes, scrubs, small trees and saplings, tree stumps and plant roots. Marketable trees, grasses and plants that are indicated to remain, be re-located, or be re-used are not included.

1.2.11.2. Surplus soil: Existing soil that is in excess of what is required for this work, including aggregates intended, but not used, for on-site mixing of concrete, mortars and paving. Contaminated soil meeting the definition of hazardous material or hazardous waste is not included.

1.2.11.3. Debris: Non-hazardous solid material generated during the construction, demolition, or renovation of a structure which exceeds 60 mm 2.5 inch particle size that is: a manufactured object; plant or animal matter; or natural geologic material (e.g. cobbles and boulders), broken or removed concrete, masonry, and rock asphalt paving; ceramics; roofing paper and shingles. Inert materials [may] [may not] be reinforced with or contain ferrous wire, rods, accessories and weldments. A mixture of debris and other material such as soil or sludge is also subject to regulation as debris if the mixture is comprised primarily of debris by volume, based on visual inspection.

1.2.11.4. Wood: Dimension and non-dimension lumber, plywood, chipboard, hardboard. Treated and/or painted wood that meets the definition of lead contaminated or lead based contaminated paint is not included.

1.2.11.5. Scrap metal: Scrap and excess ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as reinforcing steel, structural shapes, pipe and wire that are recovered or collected and disposed of as scrap. Scrap metal meeting the definition of hazardous material or hazardous waste is not included.

1.2.11.6. Paint cans: Metal cans that are empty of paints, solvents, thinners and adhesives. If permitted by the paint can label, a thin dry film may remain in the can.

1.2.11.7. Recyclables: Materials, equipment and assemblies such as doors, windows, door and window frames, plumbing fixtures, glazing and mirrors that are recovered and sold as recyclable. Metal meeting the definition of lead contaminated or lead based paint contaminated [may] [may not] be included as recyclable if sold to a scrap metal company. Paint cans [may] [may not] be included as recyclable if sold to a scrap metal company.

1.2.11.8. Hazardous Waste: By definition, to be a hazardous waste a material must first meet the definition of a solid waste. Hazardous waste and hazardous debris are special cases of solid waste. They have additional regulatory controls and must be handled separately. They are thus defined separately in this document.

1.2.11.9. Material not regulated as solid waste: Nuclear source or byproduct materials regulated under the Federal Atomic Energy Act of 1954 as amended; suspended or dissolved materials in domestic sewage effluent or irrigation return flows, or other regulated point source discharges; regulated air emissions; and fluids or wastes associated with natural gas or crude oil exploration or production.

1.2.12. Garbage: Refuse and scraps resulting from preparation, cooking, dispensing, and consumption of food.

1.2.13. Chemical Waste: This includes salts, acids, alkalizes, herbicides, pesticides, and organic chemicals.

1.2.14. Hazardous Waste: Any discarded material, liquid, solid, or gas, which meets the definition of hazardous material or is designated hazardous waste by the Environmental Protection Agency or State Hazardous Control Authority as defined in 40 CFR 260, 40 CFR 261, 40 CFR 262, 40 CFR 263, 40 CFR 264, 40 CFR 265, 40 CFR 266, 40 CFR 268, 40 CFR 270, 40 CFR 271, 40 CFR 272, 40 CFR 273, 40 CFR 279, and 40 CFR 280.

1.2.15. Hazardous Debris: As defined in Solid Waste paragraph, debris that contains listed hazardous waste (either on the debris surface, or in its interstices, such as pore structure) per 40 CFR 261; or debris that exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste per 40 CFR 261.

1.2.16. Hazardous Materials: Hazardous materials as defined in 49 CFR 171 and listed in 49 CFR 172.

Hazardous material is any material that: Is regulated as a hazardous material per 49 CFR 173, or Requires a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) per 29 CFR 1910.120, or During end use, treatment, handling, packaging, storage, transpiration, or disposal meets or has components that meet or have potential to meet the definition of a hazardous waste as defined by 40 CFR 261 Subparts A, B, C, or D. Designation of a material by this definition, when separately regulated or controlled by other instructions or directives, does not eliminate the need for adherence to that hazard-specific guidance which takes precedence over this instruction for "control" purposes. Such material include ammunition, weapons, explosive actuated devices, propellants, pyrotechnics, chemical and biological warfare materials, medical and pharmaceutical supplies, medical waste and infectious materials, bulk fuels, radioactive materials, and other materials such as asbestos, mercury, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Nonetheless, the exposure may incur incident to manufacture, storage, use and demilitarization of these items.

1.2.17. Waste Hazardous Material (WHM): Any waste material which because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical, or infectious characteristics may pose a substantial hazard to human health or the environment and which has been so designated. Used oil not containing any hazardous waste, as defined above, falls under this definition.

1.2.18. Oily Waste: Those materials which are, or were, mixed with used oil and have become separated from that used oil. Oily wastes also means materials, including wastewaters, centrifuge solids, filter residues or sludges, bottom sediments, tank bottoms, and sorbents which have come into contact with and have been contaminated by, used oil and may be appropriately tested and discarded in a manner which is in compliance with other State and local requirements. This definition includes materials such as oily rags, "kitty litter" sorbent clay and organic sorbent material. These materials may be land filled provided that:

It is not prohibited in other State regulations or local ordinances, the amount generated is "de minimis" (a small amount), it is the result of minor leaks or spills resulting from normal process operations, all free-flowing oil has been removed to the practical extent possible large quantities of this material, generated as a result of a major spill or in lieu of proper maintenance of the processing equipment, are a solid waste. As a solid waste, a hazardous waste determination must be performed prior to disposal. As this can be an expensive process, it is recommended that this type of waste be minimized through good housekeeping practices and employee education.

1.2.19. Regulated Waste: Those solid waste that have specific additional Federal, state, or local controls for handling, storage, or disposal.

1.2.20. Ozone Depleting Substance (ODS): Class I ODS is defined in Section 602(a) of The Clean Air Act and includes the following chemicals:

chlorofluorocarbon-11 (CFC-11) chlorofluorocarbon-12 (CFC-12) chlorofluorocarbon-13 (CFC-13) chlorofluorocarbon-111 (CFC-111) chlorofluorocarbon-112 (CFC-112) chlorofluorocarbon-113 (CFC-113) chlorofluorocarbon-114 (CFC-114) chlorofluorocarbon-115 (CFC-115) chlorofluorocarbon-211 (CFC-211) chlorofluorocarbon-212 (CFC-212) chlorofluorocarbon-213 (CFC-213) chlorofluorocarbon-214 (CFC-214) chlorofluorocarbon-215 (CFC-215) chlorofluorocarbon-216 (CFC-216) chlorofluorocarbon-217 (CFC-217) chlorofluorocarbon-500 (CFC-500) chlorofluorocarbon-502 (CFC-502) chlorofluorocarbon-503 (CFC-503) halon-1211 halon-1301 halon-2402 carbon tetrachloride methyl bromide methyl chloroform

Class II ODS is defined in Section 602(s) of The Clean Air Act includes the following chemicals:

hydrochlorofluorocarbon-21 (HCFC-21) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-22 (HCFC-22) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-31 (HCFC-31) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-121 (HCFC-121) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-122 (HCFC-122) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-123 (HCFC-123) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-124 (HCFC-124) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-131 (HCFC-131) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-132 (HCFC-132) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-133 (HCFC-133) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-141 (HCFC-141) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-142 (HCFC-142) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-221 (HCFC-221) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-222 (HCFC-222) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-223 (HCFC-223) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-224 (HCFC-224) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-225 (HCFC-225) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-226 (HCFC-226) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-231 (HCFC-231) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-232 (HCFC-232) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-233 (HCFC-233) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-234 (HCFC-234) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-235 (HCFC-235) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-241 (HCFC-241) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-242 (HCFC-242) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-243 (HCFC-243) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-244 (HCFC-244) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-251 (HCFC-251) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-252 (HCFC-252) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-253 (HCFC-253) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-261 (HCFC-261) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-262 (HCFC-262) hydrochlorofluorocarbon-271 (HCFC-271)

1.2.21. Universal Waste: The universal waste regulations streamline collection requirements for certain hazardous wastes in the following categories: batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment (e.g., thermostats) and lamps (e.g., fluorescent bulbs). The rule is designed to reduce hazardous waste in the municipal solid waste (MSW) stream by making it easier for universal waste handlers to collect these items and send them for recycling or proper disposal. These regulations can be found at 40 CFR 273.
