1.3 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

For the purpose of this specification, Environmental Pollution is defined as the presence of chemical, physical, or biological elements or agents which adversely affect human health or welfare; unfavorably alter ecological balances of importance to human life; affect other species of importance to man; or degrade the utility of the environment for aesthetic and recreational purposes. The control of environmental pollution requires consideration of air, water, and land, and involves noise, solid waste management and management of radiant energy and radioactive materials, as well as other pollutants.

1.3.1 Applicable Regulations

In order to prevent, and to provide for abatement and control of, any environmental pollution arising from the construction activities of the Contractor and his Subcontractors in the performance of this contract, they shall comply with all applicable Federal, State and Local laws and regulations concerning environmental pollution control and abatement.

1.3.2 Protection of Land Resources

It is intended that the land resources within the project boundaries and outside the limits of permanent work performed under this contract be preserved in their present condition, or be restored to a condition, after completion of construction, that shall appear to be natural and not detract from the appearance of the project. Insofar as possible, the Contractor shall confine his construction activities to areas defined by the plans or specifications, to areas to be cleared for other operations, or to quarry, borrow or waste areas indicated on the plans. This shall be accomplished by installing construction barrier fencing at the limits of construction for the duration of the contract. At the onset of borrow excavation, topsoil shall be saved for use in restoring the borrow area. Waste and borrow areas shall be leveled or trimmed to regular lines and shaped to provide a neat appearance. In all instances, the restored shall be well drained, to prevent the accumulation of stagnant water. All activities potentially impacting tree resources including root zones shall be accomplished in accordance with Attachment 8 (Tree Protection Requirements). Except in areas marked on the plans to be cleared, the Contractor shall not deface, injure, or destroy trees or shrubs, nor remove or cut them without approval of the Contracting Officer. Any trees, shrubs, grass areas, flower gardens, etc, scarred or damaged by the Contractor’s equipment or operations shall be restored to the original condition at the Contractor’s expense. The Contracting Officer will determine whether damaged trees/shrubs will be removed and replaced or treated and healed. The Contractor will submit to the Contracting Officer for approval, a restoration plan showing how the damaged area(s) will be returned to their original condition. The Contractor will be responsible for all erosion control required until the area is accepted by the Contracting Officer as being returned to its original condition. In fall, winter, and early spring months, approved cool-season annual grasses may be established as a temporary ground cover for erosion control. However, permanent native warm-season grasses shall be established prior to contract completion. All grasses must be native and comply with the base Natural Resources Management Plan, unless waived by the Contracting Officer.

1.3.3 Protection of Water Resources

The Contractor shall not pollute streams, lakes, or reservoirs with fuels, oils, bitumen’s, calcium chloride, chlorinated potable water, acids or harmful materials. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to investigate and comply with all applicable Federal, State, County, and Municipal laws concerning pollution of rivers and streams. All work under this contract shall be performed in such a manner that objectionable conditions shall not be created in streams through or adjacent to the project areas.

1.3.3.1 Erosion Control

Surface drainage from cuts and fills within the construction limits, whether or not completed, and from borrow and waste disposal areas, shall, if turbidity producing materials are present, be held in suitable sedimentation ponds; otherwise the surface shall be graded to control erosion within the construction site. Temporary erosion and sediment control measures such as berms, dikes, drains, or sedimentation basins, if required to meet the above standards, shall be provided and maintained until permanent drainage and erosion control facilities are completed and operative. The area of bare soil exposed at any one time by construction operations shall be held to a minimum. Stream crossings by fording with equipment shall be limited to control turbidity, and in areas of frequent crossings, temporary culverts or bridge structures shall be installed before the need arises, and then removed upon completion of the project. Fills and waste areas shall be constructed by selective placement to eliminate silts or clays on the surface that will erode and contaminate adjacent streams. The Contractor shall be required to contain all eroded soil, silt, sand, or other debris on the construction site. When necessary a containment area shall be constructed on the project site to prevent eroded soils or debris from entering storm sewer systems, drainage channels, or streams. The Contractor shall prevent eroded soils or debris from entering, crossing, or standing on existing street and roadways.

1.3.3.2 Storm Water Quality Control

The Contractor is required to comply with the requirements outlined in the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) General Permit for Storm Water Discharges from Construction Activities (OKR10). In brief, the Contractor is required to submit Tinker AFB’s Notice of Intent (NOI) form to Tinker’s Storm Water Program Management office requesting for the authorization to discharge pollutants for the construction activity. The development and implementation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required and must be submitted with the NOI. This plan shall provide for the control of storm water runoff from construction activities to reduce storm water contamination. The NOI and SWPPP must be submitted and authorized prior to discharging any pollutants. The Environmental Office can be contacted at (405)734-1228 to obtain further information.

For projects disturbing over an acre of land, the Contractor is required to submit to the ODEQ DEQ Form 605-002A, Notice of Intent for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity on Sites of One Acre or More Acres. The Contractor must provide a copy of the certification authorizing the discharge from the ODEQ to Tinker’s Storm Water Program Management office before any consideration will be given for authorization for Tinker AFB’s NOI.

Adequate Best Management Practices (BMP’s) and appropriate control measures shall be included in the SWPPP to prevent construction dirt, chemicals, and/or debris from becoming a pollutant source to storm water discharges and to retain sediment on site. Such measures include but are not limited to silt fences, hay bales, earth dikes, sediment traps, storm drain inlet protection, and temporary/permanent sediment basins. Stabilization practices shall be included in the SWPPP and implemented to preserve existing vegetation and stabilize those portions of the construction site that are disturbed. The Contractor shall be required to amend the SWPPP when there is a change in the project design, operation, or maintenance and when BMP’s/control measures are ineffective in minimizing pollution.

The Contractor shall ensure that inspections of the construction site are performed at least every 14 calendar days and within 24 hours after a storm event of 0.5 inches or greater. The Contractor shall inspect the area to ensure that structural control measures and BMP’s are effective in preventing the discharge of dirt and construction debris. Any instances of non-compliance shall be corrected within 7 days of the inspection. The Contractor shall annotate these inspections in a report to be kept on site or at an easily accessible location. The report shall summarize the scope of the inspection, person performing the inspection, the date and time, and the major observances relating to the effectiveness of the SWPPP. The inspection report is subject to inspection by the Contracting Officer at any time during construction performance period.

The Contractor’s self inspections will be submitted to the Contracting Officer in batches every 30 days. These submittals, coordinated by the Construction Inspector and approved by the Contracting Officer, should satisfy permit compliance requirements.

The Contractor shall include in the submittals, the maximum height of each piece of construction equipment expected to be used during construction, which is to be submitted to the Contracting Officer prior to the start of construction. For all construction sites with a trailer or office, the Contractor shall post with a brief description of the project, point of contact and the location of the SWPPP. For those without an on-site trailer, the Contractor shall maintain the information at an easily accessible location.

The Contractor shall submit a completed form to terminate coverage under base permit for storm water discharges from construction activities to Tinker’s Storm Water Program Management office. Tinker AFB’s Notice of Termination (NOT) can be obtained by contacting Tinker’s Storm Water Program Management office at (405)734-1228. If NOI was also submitted to the ODEQ for the construction activity, DEQ Form 605-003 must be submitted to the ODEQ. Completed form shall be submitted when final stabilization of construction site has been achieved. Final stabilization means all soil disturbing activities have been completed and a uniform vegetative state with a density of 70% of native background cover has been established.

1.3.3.3 Spillage

At all times, special measures shall be taken to prevent chemicals, fuels, oils, greases, bituminous materials, waste washings, herbicides and insecticides, cement and surface drainage from entering surface or ground waters. If a spill occurs, the Contractor is responsible for reporting the spill to the Base Fire Department. The Contractor shall dial 911 from a base phone or 737-1117 to report the spill. The Contractor shall also advise the Contracting Officer immediately. The Contractor is liable for all clean-up, damages and repairs that resulted from the spill.

Spill Classification Guidelines: Standard spill classifications will enable response personnel to communicate the extent of a spill to other personnel within a common framework. The Contractor will determine if the spill creates a fire hazard to aircraft or equipment and will post a fireguard.

The following classifications are provided:

- Class I or Minor Spill – This spill involves an area less than two

(2) feet in any dimension and is not of a continuing nature.

- Class II or Medium Spill – This spill involves an area of less than ten (10) feet in any dimension, or not over fifty (50) square feet in area and is not of a continuing nature.

- Class III or Major Spill – This classification includes spills that are over ten (10) feet in any one dimension or over fifty (50) square feet in total area, or spills that have a continuing source.

1.3.3.4 Disposal

Disposal of any materials, wastes, effluents, trash, garbage, oil, grease, chemicals, etc.; in areas adjacent to streams or other bodies of water shall be subject to the written approval of the Contracting Officer. If any waste material is dumped in unauthorized areas, the Contractor shall remove the material and restore the area to the condition of the adjacent undisturbed area. If necessary, contaminated ground shall be excavated, disposed of as directed by the Contracting Officer, and replaced with suitable fill material, compacted and finished with topsoil all at the expense of the contractor.

1.3.3.5 Flushing & Sampling Requirements for Potable Water System

All newly constructed water mains and/or service lines shall be cleaned and sterilized according to Oklahoma Administrative Code (OAC) 252.626; which requires that all new piping be flushed and cleaned, isolated, and filled with a 50-100 mg/l chlorine solution for a continuous time period not less than 24 hours. A residual of not less than 10 mg/l chlorine must remain after the 24 hour retention period. If retention residual is met, the line will be flushed and sampled for coliform bacteria. Two consecutive safe bacteriological samples separated by a time period of not less than 24 hours must be obtained before the new line may be placed in service. If the 10 mg/l chlorine residual cannot be maintained, or if water samples test positive for coliform bacteria, the sterilization and flushing process shall be repeated until such time as required chlorine residual and bacteriological requirements met. In accordance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements and storm water quality regulations, water flushed from the system shall be de-chlorinated and tested for chlorine prior to discharge. Water shall contain less than 0.1 mg/l total residual chlorine when discharged into any conveyance of the storm water system. See letter from 72 ADS/SGGB at Attachment 1 on Bacteriological Sampling Requirements for Water Line Maintenance for more detailed information. In addition, anytime that a Contractor taps into the bases water supply, they are required to utilize a backflow prevention device to prevent any possible contamination to the bases water supply.
