Contractor shall ensure all waste PCBs are properly containerized, labeled, manifested, and disposed of at an authorized site. All waste manifests shall be coordinated with the CO for 11 CES/CEIE signature prior to shipping, and fully executed copies of the manifest must be returned to 11 CES/CEIE.

2.5 TANKS

All new temporary and non-temporary tank installations must be coordinated with the 11 CES/CEIE Petroleum-

Oil-Lubricants (POL) [Tanks] and Spills Program Manager.

All AST installations shall comply with Title 40 CFR Part 112 - OIL POLLUTION PREVENTION Part 112.1 to Part 112.21. These requirements include secondary containment and release prevention.

All temporary tank installations shall be ASTs. Temporary ASTs (TASTs) used to support construction operations shall comply with UL-142 and applicable National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) criteria.

TASTs shall be double walled with adequate secondary containment at the fill port and discharge port to collect spills. The Contractor is responsible for maintaining a supply of spill response materials to respond to small spills in the work area, including absorbent pads and the capability to prevent a spill from entering a nearby storm drain or waterway using a plug, dike, or boom. Upon completion and demobilization of the TAST, the area will be subject to inspection by the CO or delegated authority.

Permanent ASTs (PASTs) shall comply with UL-2085, and applicable NFPA criteria. PASTs shall be double walled with adequate secondary containment at the fill port and discharge port to collect spills.

All approved UST installations shall comply with all Title 40 CFR Part 280.1 to Part 280.252 - Technical

Standards and Corrective Action Requirements for Owners and Operators of Underground Storage Tanks

(UST). These requirements shall include containment, leak detection equipment (automatic tank gauging), cathodic protection (as applicable), and monitoring systems. Tank systems shall also comply with DCMR Title

20 Chapters 55-67 and 70, which details tank construction requirements and release detection and inspection requirements.

All tank installations shall be properly signed and labeled with contents, capacity, any applicable hazards (e.g., flammable) and restrictions (e.g., no smoking within 50 feet).

2.6 CONTAMINATED MEDIA (SOIL and GROUNDWATER)

2.6.1 General

Prior to any digging or trenching, the contractor shall comply with all conditions identified in an approved dig permit. Digging or trenching within 6 feet of an existing groundwater monitoring well must be coordinated with

11 CES/CEIE. Contractors shall be liable for any damages to monitoring wells resulting from their activities. If a well is damaged and needs to be abandoned, the work must follow District of Columbia Municipal

Regulations (DCMR) Title 21 Chapter 18 for well “Abandonment Standards”. This regulation requires an abandonment report which will have to be generated and signed by a District of Columbia certified well driller and provided to 11CES/CEIE.

Any contaminated soils that are encountered during construction activities shall be immediately reported to the

CO and 11 CES/CEIE.

2.6.2 Health and Safety Plan (HASP)

A written site-specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) shall be prepared by the contractor per IAW CFR Title

29 for hazardous waste operations and emergency response. The HASP shall be coordinated with 11 CES/CEIE through the CO prior to commencement of any activities.

All personnel working in the construction area shall be familiar with all aspects of the site-specific HASP and shall comply with the specific requirements. Personnel shall be trained in hazardous waste operations to the extent required by 29 CFR Part 1910.120.

The HASP or site work plan may contain information about environmental background and potential remediation in an area known to have contamination. The safety and health plan should document criteria for interpreting sampling results and any site-specific quantitative contamination limits established by site safety and health management.

2.6.3 Work within Contaminated Locations

Construction projects that occur in locations where soil or groundwater contamination is known to exist or are identified during construction activities shall comply with all applicable DOEE, RCRA, and environmental, health, and safety provisions. Contractor shall coordinate via the CO with 11 CES/CEIE prior to construction activities for a potential site visit by a DOEE inspector. The following provisions shall apply:

During excavation, soils shall be monitored for the possibility of contamination. Where there are signs of potential contaminated soils (for example: unusual odors, discoloration, the presence of metal pipes, solder, paint flecks, ash, or fragments of cement) sampling shall take place.

All samples shall be collected using an appropriate sampling plan, coordinated with 11 CES/CEIE through the

CO prior to commencement of any sampling activities. The sampling plan shall describe the sampling methods to be used, the frequency and locations of sampling, address possible migration of contaminants, criteria for interpreting sampling results, and requirements for re-sampling post-remediation activity is taken. The program should also include site-specific methods for removing contaminants detected in lab analysis.

Samples shall be taken prior to disposal IAW disposal site criteria. Samples shall be collected and stored in a manner intended to prevent the loss of volatile analytes (e.g., samples should be opened only immediately prior to extraction and remain closed for transport to a lab).

Prior to removal and disposal, the contaminated soil shall be tested for the following (40 CFR 261.24):

• Ignitability

• Percent Moisture

• pH Level

• VOCs (8260)

• PCBs (8080)

• TPH (8015 Modified – Purge & Trap)

• TPH (8015 Modified – Solvent Extraction)

• TCLP Metals (1311 for 8 RCRA Metals)

• Reactivity

• TPH (1664M)*

• TOX/Total Organic Halides (9020)*

* = These analyses are only necessary when characterizing impacts from waste oil or fuels heavier than No. 6

Fuel Oil (e.g., motor oil, lubricants, grease)

Sampling results must be interpreted on a case-by-case or site-specific basis to evaluate the effectiveness of contaminant control measures and PPE programs. Any analytical results shall be shared with the CO and 11

CES/CEIE.

Alternately, soil may be tested with a photo ionization detector (PID) for evidence of contamination. PID readings above 10 ppm require continuous screening of the excavated soil. Soils with PID readings of less than

50 ppm (taken from headspace in a bag) are considered “clean” and can be reused as backfill for the excavation, if suitable. Excavated soil, which exhibits signs of visual impact, shall be considered “contaminated.” Also, soils with PID readings of 50 ppm or greater, shall be considered “potentially contaminated.” If contamination or potential contamination is observed, the material shall be segregated from non-contaminated soils. The material shall be sampled for characterization before off-site disposal at a licensed waste management facility.

Sampling and testing of excavated contaminated soils shall be conducted as specified by 11 CES/CEIE and all requirements of DOEE.

Excavated soil shall be placed in temporary storage (protected stockpiles or covered roll-off box) immediately after excavation. Stockpiles shall be constructed to isolate contaminated material from the environment including a geo-membrane liner on the ground surface, as well as a liner covering the material to prevent precipitation from entering the stockpile. The ground surface on which the liner is placed shall be free of rocks greater than 0.5 inches in diameter and any other object, which could damage the membrane. The cover material shall be anchored to prevent it from being removed by wind.

Contaminated liquids collected from excavations and stockpiles shall be temporarily stored in appropriate and approved containers. Liquid storage containers shall be watertight, labeled, and stored to prevent any environmental risk from leaks or spills.

Contaminated liquid collected from excavations or stockpiles shall be sampled to the extent necessary to determine appropriate disposal methods IAW federal, state, and disposal site regulations. Documentation of all analyses performed shall be furnished to the CO, who will forward to 11 CES/CEIE and the treatment facility.

If any of the samples test positive for one or more of the compounds listed in 40 CFR 261.24, the waste must be deemed hazardous and disposal coordinated with 11 CES/CEIE through the CO to ensure compliance with

RCRA, TCSA and all other regulatory requirements.

Contaminated materials from excavations or stockpiles shall be transported for off base disposal per IAW federal and state regulations. All waste manifests shall be coordinated through the CO to obtain 11 CES/CEIE manifest signature prior to shipping. Fully executed copies shall be provided to 11 CES/CEIE upon disposal.

Excavations shall be backfilled with DOEE-compliant, clean material after all contaminated materials have been removed, and the confirmation tests for backfill material, specified in Section 2.3.5, have been approved by 11 CES/CEIE.

The contractor shall prepare a letter and submit it via the CO to 11 CES/CEIE within 45 calendar days of completing work at the site. The report shall be labeled with the contract number, project name, location, date, and name of the general contractor completing the work. The letter shall include the following information as a minimum:

• Type of work performed

• Field screening readings

• Quantity of materials removed

• Sampling locations and sampling methods

• Sample chain-of-custody forms

• Source of backfill

• Chemical and physical test results

• Disposal manifests

• Certifications of final disposal

• Drawings to show limits of excavation and contamination and sample locations

• Photographs to document the soil removal, sampling procedures, contaminated material storage, fill placement and grading, and site post-construction

2.7 NATURAL RESOURCES
