1.2 DEFINITIONS.

1.2.1 Environmental Pollution and Damage:

Environmental pollution and damage is 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 humankind; or degrade the environment aesthetically, culturally and/or historically.

1.2.2 Environmental Protection:

Environmental protection is the prevention/control of pollution and habitat disruption that may occur to the environment during construction. The control of environmental pollution and damage requires consideration of land, water, and air; biological and cultural resources; and includes management of visual aesthetics; noise; solid, chemical, gaseous, and liquid waste; radiant energy and radioactive material as well as other pollutants.

1.2.3 Contractor Generated Hazardous Waste:

Contractor generated hazardous waste means materials that, if abandoned or disposed of, may meet the definition of a hazardous waste. These waste streams would typically consist of material brought on site by the Contractor to execute work, but are not fully consumed during the course of construction. Examples include, but are not limited to, excess paint thinners (i.e. methylethylketone, toluene etc.), waste thinners, excess paints, excess solvents, waste solvents, and excess pesticides, and contaminated pesticide equipment rinse water.

1.3 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:

Minimize environmental pollution and damage that may occur as the result of construction operations. The environmental resources within the project boundaries and those affected outside the limits of permanent work must be protected during the entire duration of this contract. Comply with all applicable environmental Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. Any delays resulting from failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations will be the Contractor's responsibility.

1.4 SUBCONTRACTORS:

Prime contractor is responsible for ensuring compliance with this section by all subcontractors.

1.5 PAYMENT:

No separate payment will be made for work covered under this section. Payment of fees associated with environmental permits, application, and/or notices obtained by the Contractor, and payment of all fines/fees for violation or non-compliance with Federal, State, Regional and local laws and regulations are the Contractor's responsibility. All costs associated with this section must be included in the contract price.

1.6 SUBMITTALS:

Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation; submittals not having a "G" designation are for Contractor Quality Control approval. Submit the following:

If a settling/retention pond is required, the plan must include the design of the pond including drawings, removal plan, and testing requirements for possible pollutants. If land application will be the method of disposal for the waste water, the plan must include a sketch showing the location for land application along with a description of the pretreatment methods to be implemented. If surface discharge will be the method of disposal, include a copy of the permit and associated documents as an attachment prior to discharging the waste water. If disposal is to a sanitary sewer, the plan must include documentation that the Waste Water Treatment Plant Operator has approved the flow rate, volume, and type of discharge.

o. A cultural resources, natural resources, and wetlands plan that defines procedures for identifying and protecting cultural resources, natural resources, and wetlands known to be on the project site: and/or identifies procedures to be followed if cultural resources, natural resources, and wetlands not previously known to be onsite or in the area are discovered during construction. Include in the plan methods to assure the protection of known or discovered resources, identifying lines of communication between Contractor personnel and the Contracting Officer. Comment by Jaynie.Hirschi: Term is cultural resources (this encompasses historic and archaeological resources). Can we separate out cultural and natural resources? The way this reads does not make sense. Plus, we have these types of SOPs for cultural resources in the ICRMP (planned new construction, unanticipated discoveries, etc.). I would assume the contractor would be required to follow. Should these be included in this section, or at least referenced as a template for the contractors cultural resources plan?

1.8 PROTECTION FEATURES

This paragraph supplements the Contract Clause PROTECTION OF EXISTING VEGETATION, STRUCTURES, EQUIPMENT, UTILITIES, AND IMPROVEMENTS. Prior to start of any onsite construction activities, the Contractor and the Contracting Officer will make a joint condition survey. Immediately following the survey, the Contractor will prepare a brief report including a plan describing the features requiring protection under the provisions of the Contract Clauses, which are not specifically identified on the drawings as environmental features requiring protection along with the condition of trees, shrubs, and grassed areas immediately adjacent to the site of work and adjacent to the Contractor's assigned storage area and access route(s), as applicable. This survey report will be signed by both the Contractor and the Contracting Officer upon mutual agreement as to its accuracy and completeness. The Contractor must protect those environmental features included in the survey report and any indicated on the drawings, regardless of interference which their preservation may cause to the work under the contract.

1.9 SPECIAL ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

Comply with the special environmental requirements listed in AFI 32-7020 and OO-ALC HAFB Supplement1.Contractor is required to show all tipping fee receipts to verify that solid waste were disposed of in the appropriate landfill.

All excess soils and construction debris needs to be transported to a permitted landfill – waste soils and construction debris cannot be taken anywhere except an off base permitted landfill or base construction landfill.

1.10 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF CONTRACT DEVIATIONS

Any deviations from the drawings, plans and specifications, requested by the Contractor and which may have an environmental impact, will be subject to approval by the Contracting Officer and may require an extended review, processing, and approval time. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to disapprove alternate methods, even if they are more cost effective, if the Contracting Officer determines that the proposed alternate method will have an adverse environmental impact.

1.11 NOTIFICATION

The Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor in writing of any observed noncompliance with Federal, State or local environmental laws or regulations, permits, and other elements of the Contractor's Environmental Protection plan. After receipt of such notice, the Contractor will inform the Contracting Officer of the proposed corrective action and take such action when approved by the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action has been taken. No time extensions will be granted or equitable adjustments allowed for any such suspensions. This is in addition to any other actions the Contracting Officer may take under the contract, or in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation or Federal Law.

Uncontrolled spray painting with high-VOC paints shall not be performed.

3.6.4.10 Contractor sites will be maintained at all times. Damage due to erosion and control of fugitive dust will be the responsibility of the Contractor. An on-site review will be conducted by the Contracting Officer, the Construction Engineer, and the Environmental Management Division (75 CEG/CEV) prior to use of any location for contractor setup. A follow-up program for site overview will be maintained by all parties. Release of the site by the Contractor will be accompanied by a final site review, at which time site deficiencies will be noted. The Contractor will have 14 calendar days to correct deficiencies. Final contract payment will be withheld pending completion of the deficiency list.

3.6.4.11 Universal and toxic wastes: Universal wastes include batteries, fluorescent tubes, other mercury containing bulbs, and mercury containing thermostats. Some of these items may be left in a building before demolition or remodeling. Toxic wastes include asbestos, lead based paint and PCBs. Asbestos and lead based paint will be abated before demolition or remodeling; however, older light fixtures may have ballasts which contain dielectric fluid with PCBs. All batteries (usually lead acid), fluorescent tubes, mercury containing bulbs, mercury containing thermostats, and older light ballasts with PCBs will be carefully collected in labeled containers in accordance with all applicable laws. Ideally these items will be recycled; however, disposal may be used when recycling costs are not reasonable. All recycling and disposal will be done in accordance with applicable laws.

3.6.4.12 Asbestos and Lead-Based Paint: The Contractor is cautioned that materials in and around this project may contain asbestos or be coated with Lead-Based Paint (LBP). The government will make every effort to locate and identify all Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) and LBP prior to bidding; however, this is not always possible. These materials are often hidden and cannot be discovered until after demolition has begun. The failure of the government to identify all ACM and LBP in no way relieves the Contractor from his legal obligation to comply with state and federal regulations regarding the handling of asbestos, lead, or LBP. If suspected asbestos containing materials or LBP surfaces are encountered, immediately cease work and notify the Contracting Officer and the project manager immediately. Do not conduct or continue with any work that will violate any Air Force, local, state or federal regulations regarding asbestos, lead, or LBP. If suspected materials or surfaces have not been disturbed, secure and post signs in the area where the materials are located to ensure that they are not disturbed. If the suspected materials have already been disturbed, secure and post signs in the area where the material was originally located, any areas to which materials have been moved, and any containers that suspect materials may have been placed in. Take all necessary steps to ensure that materials are not further disturbed, moved, or disposed of until directed to do so by the Contracting Officer. Failure to notify the government promptly or failure to comply with state and federal regulations will be grounds for termination of their contract and may result in other appropriate civil and/or criminal actions. "The Contractor will be fully responsible for any and all fines or other penalties resulting from his acts and /or omissions pursuant to law and regulation. At the Pre-Construction Conference, the contractor will be required to sign the "Contractor's Notification of Hazardous Materials Requirements" at the end of this Section. The government will perform asbestos and lead-based paint surveys for every renovation and demolition project. These surveys shall be posted on site prior to starting any work and must be maintained on site until the project has been completed.

3.6.4.13 Standards for Demolition and Renovation: For demolition and renovation the contractor shall comply with 40 CFR 61.145 and the Utah Administrative Code R307-801. The contractor shall complete the applicable Utah Division of Air Quality notification form with the assistance of the government's project manager and the Base Asbestos Manager. The contractor shall submit the applicable form to the State with a copy sent to the government's Project Manager.
