A. If any of the environmental hazards listed on the form are encountered, the contractor shall call the telephone number shown on the form and then immediately notify the contracting officer of the situation.

B. The Environmental Awareness and Responsibility checklist is located at the end of this specification section.

1.13 EXCAVATION ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE PROCEDURES

A. Purpose – Beginning when SAFB was activated in 1941, burial or dumping was an industry accepted practice often used to dispose of materials no longer needed or wanted. Accidental spills also occurred periodically. Since the mid 1980’s, SAFB environmental programs have been identifying, investigating, and remediating as necessary, waste disposal and spill sites.

Unless specifically noted otherwise in the contract documents, there are no known waste disposal or spill sites that affect the specified work. However, during any grading or excavation there is the potential to uncover previously unknown waste or spilled material.

B. Unusual Material - Unusual material as used in this section shall mean any materials other than soils, rock or bedrock encountered during excavation that is not specifically identified as part of the work in the contract document. This includes but is not limited to: stained soils; free product fuels, oils, etc; suspicious odors; bottles, cans, drums, or other containers; wooden, metal, or cardboard boxes; rags, gloves, or personal protective equipment; trash or common landfill debris;

concrete, concrete block, wood, metal, or other building materials and construction debris; or any other unidentified materials.

C. Response - If the contractor encounters any unusual materials during any excavation or grading, the contractors shall:

1. Immediately stop the excavation or grading operation.

2. Shut down the equipment and leave it in its present location.

3. Do not attempt to determine the contents of any bottles, containers, boxes, etc.

4. Withdraw personnel from the equipment and the excavation a distance of at least 50 feet upwind or cross wind or as directed.

5. Contact the escort, inspector, contracting officer or the contracting officer’s designated representative immediately, or call 911.

6. Remain in the area until released by the CO or designated representative.

D. Every contractor and subcontractor employee shall be briefed on the response procedures in this section prior to beginning work on SAFB. Training shall be documented by the employee signing and dating a training log sheet. Log sheet shall be maintained on the immediate jobsite in the contractor’s project office and shall be available for inspection by the contracting officer or designated representative. Response procedures review shall be included in the contractor’s periodic safety meetings.

1.14 GREEN PROCUREMENT

A. Contractor shall comply with Shaw’s affirmative procurement program.

1. Contractor is required to purchase Environmentally Preferable Products manufactured from recycled and reclaimed goods. Environmentally preferable products are listed on the EPA’s Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines – Products (http://www.epa.gov/cpg/products.htm)

2. Exemptions to purchasing the listed products within the Comprehensive Procurements

Guidelines – Products are as follows;

a. Item/Material not available within a reasonable period of time.

b. Item/Material fails to meet performance standards set forth in applicable specifications.

c. Item/Material is not available from a sufficient number of sources to maintain a satisfactory level of competition (item available from only one source)

d. Item/Material is only available at an unreasonable cost (the price of the recycled content product exceeds the cost of a comparable no-recycled product).

3. For each item considered on the Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines – Products list, contractor shall submit a materials Determination/Exemption form (provided at the end of this section) for approval.

B. Contractor shall submit a monthly diversion rate report. This report shall contain the total weight of material recovered for recycling or reuse. The report shall include the total weight of unrecoverable refuse transferred off base. All weight tickets for debris going to the landfill shall be included in the report. Report shall be submitted to the Government no later than the 7th day of the following month (i.e. report for June is due by 7 July)

1.15 AIR EMISSION SOURCES

A. Any source that has a stack is a point source air emission source. Shaw AFB is a major source for criteria air emission pollutants. As a major source all air emission sources must be permitted.

Permits may be either a “Title V modification” or a “construction permit required” permit.

a. All Title V modification permits may be produced by 20 CES/CEANQ at the request of the contractor. The Contractor must supply 20 CES/CEANQ a specification sheet on the source 14 days prior to beginning construction.

b. All “Construction Permit Required” permits must be obtained by the Contractor and will require the signature of a Registered Professional Engineer to certify the emissions of the new source. To identify the need of a construction permit the contractor should consult http://www.scdhec.gov/environment/baq/docs/regs/pdf/r61-62_1.pdf#page=14 at Section II or contact 20 CES/CEANQ 803-895-9987 to determine if the project is of sufficient size to require a construction permit.

c. All contractors should review the above link for all projects because of the considerable time required to obtain a construction permit.

B. Some emission sources such as tanks, parts washers, storage batteries, acid containers, or other sources that emit pollutants without stacks also need a Title V permit modification. The contractors who install these sources will also need to contact 20 CES/CEANQ 14 days prior to beginning construction to provide specification sheets on the project. At that time the contractor may request 20 CES/CEANQ to obtain the Title V modification permit.

C. Any contractor who adds or removes refrigerant must complete a Shaw AFB Refrigerant form prior to turnover to the government. Also any refrigerant equipment removed or install must be filed with 20CES/CEANQ personnel on the Refrigerant Equipment form.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS (Not Applicable)

PART 3 - EXECUTION

Contractor shall comply with all provisions of Section 01800 as well as all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Contractor shall comply with all applicable Air Force regulations. Federal, state and local laws, and Air Force regulations pertaining to each environmental program are outlined in Section 8 (SAFB Environmental Engineering Guidelines) of the SAFB Environmental Specification Handbook.
