Regardless of the quantity of hazardous waste generated by the contractor, all hazardous waste (HW) generated by the contractor on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) will be managed by the contractor in accordance with federal regulation applicable to large quantity generators (LQGs) of HW.

Regardless of the quantity of universal waste handled by the contractor, all universal waste (UW) handled by the contractor on JBER will be managed by the contractor in accordance with federal regulation applicable to large quantity handlers of UW.

The contractor is responsible for proper waste determinations, providing containers that comply with regulatory requirements, marking/labeling containers, placing waste in containers, handling, and storage/accumulation, packaging, transportation, and treatment, storage, disposal or recycling of hazardous waste generated, and universal waste handled, by the contractor’s activities. The contractor is not allowed to use the JBER HW support contract to manage hazardous waste. The contractor will not bring waste to any JBER satellite accumulation area unless the hazardous waste satellite accumulation area is established by the contractor specifically to accumulate hazardous waste generated by the contractor’s activities on JBER. The contractor is not allowed to transport waste to JBER. The contractor will not store hazardous waste at the JBER central accumulation area (also known as the hazardous waste center), or the permitted hazardous waste container storage facility on JBER.

The contractor is required to train all contractor employees, and maintain documentation of

01121-2 training, as required by regulation applicable to hazardous waste generated by the contractor's activities on JBER, or universal waste handled by the contractor on JBER. The contractor is required to attend a hazardous waste awareness briefing presented by the government.

Any such liability may result in an equitable adjustment to the contract or contract price, establishment of a contract debt, or recovery by the Government under any other judicial, administrative, or contractual remedy as may be available to the Government.

1.2.2 Hazardous Waste Determinations and Recordkeeping

The contractor is required to determine if wastes generated by contract activities are hazardous. Waste determinations must be in compliance with 40 CFR 262.11. Information from a Safety Data Sheet (SDS), knowledge of a waste generating process, and/or results of laboratory analysis of a representative sample of the waste, may be used to determine if waste is hazardous. The contractor is required to provide, to 673 CES/CEIEC (Hazardous Waste Program Manager), copies of all information used to make each waste determination. The current JBER hazardous waste program manager is Scott Tarbox, who may be contacted by calling (907) 384-3322, or via emailing scott.tarbox@us.af.mil.

1.2.3 Hazardous Waste Accumulation

All hazardous waste accumulation by the contractor must be in a hazardous waste satellite accumulation area which is regulated by 40 CFR 262.15. The contractor is not allowed to obtain a USEPA permit for storage of hazardous waste on JBER and is not allowed to accumulate hazardous waste in a central accumulation area.

1.2.4 Hazardous Waste Manifests

All hazardous waste transported off JBER must have a Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest as required by 40 CFR 262.20. The contractor must prepare a correct and complete Manifest (OMB Control number 2050–0039) on EPA Form 8700–22, and, if necessary, EPA Form 8700– 22A, prior to offsite transport of a hazardous waste. Manifests must accompany all HW transported off JBER. Only 673 CES/CEIEC (Hazardous Waste Program Manager) personnel are authorized to sign a manifest for hazardous waste generated by the contractor and transported off JBER by the contractor.
