3. TITLE OF PROPOSED ACTION

Replace Well #9

4. PURPOSE AND NEED FOR ACTION (Identify decision to be made and need date)

1. What do you intend to accomplish and why is the action necessary?

Replace water supply well #9. Well #9 is currently inoperative and does not have a sanitary/annular seal which are required by Department of Water Resources (DWR) Bulletin 74, California Well Standards.

Total depth is approximately 300 feet below ground surface. Well #9 is situated on a raised site in the marsh fields. Well #9 is a community water supply well as defined by the Section 13710 of the Water Code. The well has consistently had coliform bacteria detections which are not allowable for groundwater supply wells. If detections continue, the Water Board would require the Base to abandon the well.

The well was installed in the 1940s and is at the end of its service life.

2. What is currently being done to meet the need?

Currently, the other wells provide water supply, but there is no backup without Well #9 which greatly reduces ability to conduct preventive maintenance on other wells.

3. Provide any additional details related to the Purpose and Need for Action.

Need Date: 09/23/2022

5. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ACTION AND ALTERNATIVES (DOPAA) (Provide sufficient details for evaluation of the total action.)

1. What other alternatives have been considered (to include the no action alternative)?

None - the well is close to 80 years old and needs to be replaced according to multiple well experts in the local area. No action would result in being out of compliance due to bacterial contamination of the water table and possible shutdown of the site, greatly reducing water availability.

2. What alternatives were eliminated from consideration and why?

Redrilling existing well - eliminated due to age of well casing.

3. Please provide a description of the construction action and timing when it will occur.

Ideally this work would be done during dry months. New well to be drilled in immediate proximity of existing well and tied into existing piping system.

4. Describe the project location. Attach map(s)/diagram(s) – make sure to include an overview map of where your requested project area is on the installation.

See attached site plan.

5. Describe additional project requirements: 1) Construction and site preparation requirements (include approx. area of ground to be disturbed); 2) Does the project require a laydown yard or storage area? If so, describe the location and groundwork required.

1) The immediate well #9 site provides adequate laydown area for drilling equipment with minimal impact to local environment.

2) The area is already disturbed ground, so there is minimal impact to surrounding vernal pools and marsh land. Contractor to provide sediment washout protections around drill site and remove fill material off base.

6. Describe additional project requirements: 3) Will soil boring/sampling/potholing occur during a design phase? If so, a separate dig permit will be required; 4) Detailed operational activities; 5) Equipment/material lists.

3) no.

4) A new well will be drilled by a qualified and licensed well company to approximately 300 ft below ground surface. Well cap cement foundation will be raised 24" above ground level and annular seal installed to prevent surface water intrusion into the aquafer. Discharge will be connected into existing piping. Current well will be decomissioned and sealed according to code by pressure grouting.

Contractor will obtain required well permits from Yuba County as required.

5) Equipment to include drill rig, support truck, forklift to move casing and cement truck.

7. Provide any additional details related to the Description of the Proposed Action and Alternatives.

The purpose and need for the proposed action is to repair Well #9, which is currently inoperable due to detections of coliform bacteria. If those detections continue, the California Water Board would require the well be abandoned. If the well is abandoned, the base would be limited in the preventative maintenance it can perform on other wells, and would also lose a potential back-up well for community water supply. All documents and comments provided for my review, and which I did review, indicate that none of the circumstances that preclude the assignment of this CATEX (32 CFR 989 A.2.2) are known to be present at this time.

Clean Up. The Contractor shall continuously sweep and remove, with brooms and vacuum sweeper, any debris or materials which he spills, drops, dumps or vehicles track on any airfield surfaces and properly dispose of them. The Contractor has a substantial liability if such material damages aircraft. At the end of each workday, the airfield and vehicle access routes shall be cleaned of any debris left by the Contractor.

Prior to departure each day, the contractor must receive approval from the airfield manager or inspector who shall check for residual debris. If failure to adequately clean the airfield surface results in airfield closure, the

Contractor will be held liable for all costs associated with said closure.

7.2.2. Airfield Restricted Areas

Portions of the airfield are located in Restricted Areas delineated by red lines or ropes. Work in Restricted

Areas requires a 30-day notice to 9 RW/SEF, and therefore the Contractor must schedule his/her work accordingly. The Contractor may not enter a restricted area unless accompanied by a Government escort, which shall be arranged.

Radio. Each day when working on the airfield, the Contractor shall obtain a hand-held two-way radio from 9

RW Airfield Management (Bldg 1060). The contractor shall establish and maintain two-way communication with the control tower at all times while on the runway.

Airfield Driving. Prior to operating vehicles on the airfield, arrangements must be made with 9 RW Airfield

Management (634-4018) for a flightline driver pass and briefing for all Contractor personnel to be driving on the airfield. Additionally, the Contractor must submit a list of all vehicles, drivers, and equipment to be used on the flightline to the 9 RW/CONS and to Airfield Management. All vehicles and equipment to be used on the airfield shall have pneumatic tires. A waiver from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may be required before cranes may be used in some areas. Submit requests to use cranes several months before they are needed.

mailto:msusan.stewart.7@us.af.mil

In accordance with Title 13 California Code of Regulations (CCR), Section 2485, all diesel-fueled commercial vehicles operating in the State of California with a gross vehicular weight of greater than 10,000 lbs and are — or must be — licensed to operate on highways shall not be idled for greater than five (5) minutes at any location. See Title 13 CCR, Section 2485, Subsection (d) for exceptions.

8.7. Refrigerant Compliance and Ozone Depleting Substances

Refrigerant Compliance and Ozone Depleting Substances: Any relocation, modification, or removal of existing building Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system will require the Ozone

Depleting Substance (ODS) (refrigerant) to be recovered and tracked for the amount removed and replaced.

The recovery equipment will also need to have an U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Refrigerant

Recovery or Recycling Device Acquisition Certification readily available on site.

Regulations governing disposal of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS), are covered in the "Defense Materiel

Disposition Manual" (Department of Defense (DOD) 4160.21 -M), "Storage and Handling of Liquefied and

Gaseous Compressed Gasses and Their Full and Empty Cylinders" (DLAI 4145.25 / AFJMAN 23- 227(I)) and the Department of Defense "Ozone Depleting Substances Turn-In Procedures". All Class I ODSs, Halons and R-22 must be recovered and retained by the Air Force. These refrigerants may not be transferred/sold/given to anyone outside of the DOD, regardless of where/how the material is stored (storage cylinders, within equipment, or any other configuration). Covered materials that which are not necessary to support installation activities must be returned to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) ODS Reserve.

Regardless of material or disposition, all ODSs and their "non-ODS" alternatives must be maintained in accordance with all Clean Air Act (CAA) regulations; including but not limited to, record keeping, storage, labeling and any other applicable requirements. These requirements can be found in Section 608 of the CAA.

Records pertaining to recovery of disposition of these materials must be developed and maintained to ensure compliance with CAA record keeping requirements.

Refrigerant commodities, which are not required to be returned to the DLA ODS Reserve, must also be maintained IAW with DOD and California requirements, however these materials are not required to be transferred to the DLA ODS Reserve. Care should be taken to ensure proper record keeping as well as compliance with all Federal Acquisition Regulations.

Properly certified civilian, military or contract personnel must perform maintenance and Recovery activities.

The Refrigerant Management Module within the AF Air Program Information Management System (APIMS) will be utilized for tracking refrigerant management activities, including HVAC maintenance, equipment disposal and other situations covered by the California.

8.8. Media/Abrasive Blasting

All abrasive blasting must be in compliance with the following:

a. Performed under permit issued by the Air Pollution Control Officer. The Air Pollution Control

Officer may impose permit conditions necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public.

b. All abrasive blasting shall be in accordance with Subchapter 6, Chapter 1, Division 3 of Title 17, of the California Code of Regulations.

Contractor shall sweep up or vacuum all paint chips and sand blast debris for proper disposal upon completion of work. The vacuum must be a High-efficiency Particulate Arrestance (HEPA) filtered vacuum if the paint contains lead. Any media/abrasive blasting will require a permit from FRAQMD. The required permit application and supplemental forms can be found on FRAQMD’s web site:

9. WATER RESOURCES

POC: 9 CES/CEIEC, 530-634-4398

9.1. Spills

The Contractor is responsible for implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs) to ensure pollutants are not released or discharged to drainage features or storm drains in project work areas, equipment/material staging areas or parking areas. The Contractor shall promptly clean up any spilled materials and report any spill incident to the 9 CES/CEF Fire Department by dialing 911 from any Base phone. If calling by cellular phone, dial (530) 634-8675. The Contractor shall also notify the Spill Hotline at (530) 301-9413. The spill shall also be reported in writing to the 9 CES/CEIE within 48 hours. All equipment and vehicles must be maintained to paved/gravel surfaces. The work crew is responsible for implementing BMPs to ensure pollutants are not released or discharged to drainage features or storm drains in project work areas, equipment/material staging areas or parking areas.

9.2. Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 401 and 404 Permits

Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 401 and 404 permits are required if any wetland or drainage will be temporarily or permanently impacted by the construction. These permits must be requested from the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers and Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. The project design should avoid or minimize excavation or filling within wetlands and drainages to facilitate obtaining CWA permits or avoid the necessity for permits. The project engineer/designer shall provide 9 CES/CEIE with design drawings and specifications such as the area to be disturbed, volume and surface area of dredging or filling, etc. to facilitate the CWA permit application process. Construction shall not begin until both permits are obtained. Regulatory agencies typically process permit applications within 90 days of receipt. The contractor must comply with all requirements in the permits and/or specified in the permit applications. CWA

Permits normally require outdoor work to be completed between 1 June and 31 October.

The CWA prohibits anybody from discharging "pollutants" through a "point source" into the Waters of the

United States (WoUS) unless they have an NPDES permit. The permit will contain limits on what you can discharge, monitoring and reporting requirements, and other provisions to ensure that the discharge does not hurt water quality or people's health. The permit translates general requirements of the CWA into specific provisions tailored to the operations of each person discharging pollutants. CWA Section 401 and 404 permits are required if any drainage will be temporarily or permanently impacted by the construction. These permits must be requested from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Central Valley Regional

Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB).

If unplanned actions trigger the need for a 404/401 permit later due to the actions of the contractor, then the contractor shall be responsible for the expenses and delay involved. The CWA requires that all municipal, industrial and commercial facilities that discharge wastewater or storm water directly from a point source (a discrete conveyance such as a pipe, ditch or channel) into a water of the United States (such as a lake, river, or ocean) must obtain a 404/401 permit. All permits are written to ensure that the receiving waters will achieve their Water Quality Standards. Discharges can be permitted with an individual permit or covered under a general permit. Individual permits are written to address the specific design and applicable water quality standards to an individual facility while General permits authorize a category of discharges within a geographical area. Most construction sites and industrial facilities which discharge storm water are permitted under general NPDES permits.

https://www.fraqmd.org/application-forms

General permits do not require that Operators “apply” for coverage; rather, general permits typically rely on the submission of a document called a Notice of Intent (NOI). An NOI differs from an individual permit application in that it is submitted by Operators after the general permit is issued by the permitting authority.

An NOI for a general permit is a notice permitting authority of an Operator’s intent to be covered under a general permit, and typically contains basic information about the Operator and the planned discharge for which coverage is being requested. Some general permits, such as the Environmental Protection Agency’s

(EPA) Pesticide General Permit, automatically cover some Operator discharges without submission of an

NOI. In these instances, Operators must comply with applicable permit requirements for their pesticide applications without submission of any paperwork to the permitting authority (or in some instances, submission of some other type of notification document).
