EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL MEASURES: If the work associated with this project disturbs more than one acre of land, the contractor shall follow all requirements set forth in North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1, Permit No. NCG010000. This includes but is not limited to the design/application of an erosion and sedimentation control plan, paying the associated fee, the proper control of the Certificate of Approval (granted by NCDENR), implementation of the plan, and all the inspection type requirements during the actual construction period along with the proper documentation. These required documents shall be provided and/or made available to appropriate government personnel upon request. At least one copy of each NOI, NPDES Permit, SWPPP PLAN, Certificate of Approval, and Certificate of Termination Document shall be given to the 4 CES/CEV Office.

5.1 If the work associated with this project disturbs less than one acre of land, the contractor shall provide properly and adequately designed/implemented erosion and sedimentation control practices as to not contribute pollution to the base’s regulated storm water discharges. This includes but is not limited to protection of storm drains, ditches, or other waters of the State from sedimentation runoff; and controlling disposal of discarded building materials, concrete truck washout, chemicals, litter, and sanitary wastes at the construction sites that may cause adverse impacts to water quality.

5.1.1 Burn-off: Burn-off of ground cover is not permitted.

6.

CONTROL AND DISPOSAL OF SOLID, CHEMICAL, AND SANITARY WASTES: Pick up solid wastes and place in containers which are emptied by the contractor on a regular schedule. The preparation, cooking, and disposing of food are strictly prohibited on the project site. Conduct handling and disposal of wastes to prevent contamination of the site and other areas. On completion, leave areas clean and natural looking. Obliterate signs of temporary construction and activities incidental to construction of the permanent work in place.

6.1 Removal from Government Property: Remove rubbish and debris from Government property and dispose of it in compliance with federal, state, and local requirements.

6.2 Chemical Waste: Store chemical waste in corrosion resistant containers labeled to identify type of waste, date filled, and contractor name. Remove containers from the project site, and dispose of chemical waste in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. Chemical waste has the potential to become hazardous waste. The contractor shall conduct sample analysis sufficient to determine if the waste is a hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR Part 261. Any waste meeting the definition of hazardous shall be accumulated and manifested in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations and coordinated with the 4 CES/CEV office. The contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer immediately in the event of any chemical waste spill.

6.3 Petroleum Products: Conduct fueling and lubricating of equipment and motor vehicles in a manner that affords the maximum protection against spills and evaporation.

7.

DUST CONTROL: Keep dust down at all times, including non-working hours, weekends, and holidays. Sprinkle or treat, with dust suppressors, the soil at the site, haul roads, and other areas disturbed by operations. No dry power brooming is permitted. Instead use vacuuming, wet mopping, wet sweeping, or wet power brooming. Air Blowing is permitted only for cleaning non-particulate debris, such as steel reinforcing bars. No sandblasting is permitted unless dust there from is confined. Only wet cutting of concrete blocks, concrete, and asphalt is permitted. No unnecessary shaking of bags is permitted where bagged cement, concrete mortar and plaster is used.

8.

SOLID WASTE DIVERSION AND RECYCLING

All solid waste generated as a result of project activities are the responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor shall provide necessary dumpsters, roll-offs, containers, etc. for proper storage, removal, and ultimate disposal the solid waste. The Contractor shall not use base dumpsters, roll-offs, or containers for the disposal of solid waste. Solid waste debris, including construction & demolition debris shall be recycled and/or diverted away from landfill disposal to the extent practical for the project.

A. Construction debris that cannot be recycled: Demolition and/or construction materials that cannot be reused, recycled, or otherwise diverted must be segregated from other solid waste and disposed at an approved C&D landfill. The Wayne County C&D landfill is adjacent to the Municipal Solid Waste Landfill. The Contractor shall maintain records of construction debris diverted and disposed.

B. Recyclables: The contractor shall remove recyclables from the solid waste stream to the extent practicable. Disposing of recyclables in a municipal solid waste landfill (MSWLF) is not acceptable and may constitute violation of the contract. Local county ordinance prohibits the disposal of solid waste with greater than 10% recyclables. In the event the county sites the Contractor for excessive recyclables within a load, the Contractor is solely responsible for fines and/or increased tipping fees. Recyclables shall be taken to off-base facilities for recycling with all profit from those materials being those of the Contractor. The Contractor shall maintain records (by weight) of all materials recycled and disposed.

Use of demolition debris (rubble) as fill material is considered recycling. The contractor shall report reuse of such material in the monthly Solid Waste Diversion report (see format below).

The contractor will report, monthly, no later than the last day of the following month, the total weight of solid waste and construction/demolition waste he disposed, and percentage diverted through recycling. The report will be made in two copies. The following format will be used:

HAZARDOUS MaterialS/HAZARDOUS WASTES. The Contractor shall obtain approval from the Hazardous Material Management Program (HMMP) team prior to purchasing, handling, using, and storing any chemicals, solvents, lubricants, and other products for this contract that require an MSDS. The Contractor shall identify these materials on a Contractor Hazardous Material Authorization, Inventory, & Usage Form (AF Form 3952 – Contractor Equivalent). The Contractor shall provide this inventory list and one copy of the MSDS for each item to HAZMART for review and HMMP approval prior to any chemicals being brought onto Seymour Johnson AFB.

This Inventory & Usage Form will also be used by the Contractor to report hazardous material usage. At project completion, the contractor shall submit a final report (AF Form 3952 – Contractor Equivalent) to the Contracting Officer detailing overall project hazardous material usage.

For projects extending over 6 months in duration, the inventory (AF Form 3952 – Contractor Equivalent) shall be used to provide monthly usage reports to the Contracting Officer and a final report at project completion.
