PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.01 DISPOSAL OF WASTE/EXCESS MATERIAL:

A. Not applicable.

B. Non-hazardous Solid Waste or Excess Material, except topsoil and suitable fill material, shall be removed from the base daily. Dispose in a manner approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division (EPD). Also comply with applicable local codes and requirements. Equipment/material to be removed from the project but not turned in to the Government is the property of the contractor.

1. Solid Waste Handling: All persons engaged in solid waste handling or operations of solid waste handling facilities or disposal sites shall have a solid waste-handling permit. The provision of Georgia EPD regulations concerning proper handling of solid wastes and applicable prohibitions (e.g., handling in such a manner as to create a nuisance and cause insect or rodent infestation) shall govern.

2. Disposal: Use one or more of the following methods to dispose of non-hazardous solid waste.

a. Sanitary Landfill: All solid waste may be disposed of in a sanitary landfill properly licensed by the State of Georgia. If a landfill other than the Houston County sanitary landfill is used, provide a copy of the landfill license. After 1 Jul 92, provide proof that any Georgia municipal solid waste disposal facility to which they propose to bring RAFB waste, except Houston County, is operated by someone who has obtained the certification required by the Georgia Solid Waste Management Act, O.C.G.A. 12-8-24.1.

(1) All non-hazardous wastes disposed of in the Houston County Landfill may require a Waste Shipment Tracking Document signed by the Contractor’s hauler certifying that no hazardous waste was introduced into the waste while in his custody. (A copy of the form is attached at the end of this section.) If required, the contractor may be required to turn in a representative sample of building demolition material for the government to test and the Government (Environmental Management) will filled out the top of the form. The contractor shall complete the bottom of the form. The contractor must provide this form with each load disposed of when required by Houston County. Attached is a copy of the completed Special Waste Acceptance Application (SWAA) for use in each Delivery Order.

b. Inert Waste Landfill: Materials not likely to cause production of lechate of environmental concern may be disposed of in an inert waste landfill. Only earth and earth-like products, concrete, cured asphaltic concrete, rock, bricks, yard trimmings, and land clearing debris such as stumps, limbs, and leaves are acceptable for disposal in an inert waste landfill. This definition excludes industrial and demolition waste not specifically listed above. Provide a copy of the written notice of commencement of operation by the landfill as given to the Georgia EPD. Include the weights of material disposed of in this type of landfill in the monthly disposal and recycling report required in paragraph 3.01.C below.

c. Construction/Demolition Disposal Site: Only wood, metal, wallboard, paper, cardboard, as well as materials that can go in an inert waste landfill may be disposed of in this facility. Provide a copy of the landfill license.

d. Recycling: Recycling of materials is strongly encouraged. Materials destined for recycling must meet the definition of non-hazardous wastes under federal/state solid waste regulations. Materials defined as “recovered materials” by GA EPD regulations are excluded from regulation as solid wastes. Direct all inquiries to EMP, Pollution Prevention Division, (478) 926-1197, Ext 137.

e. All materials to be disposed of in other than a sanitary landfill must be kept segregated at the project site from those materials, which are allowed only in a sanitary landfill.

3. Solid Waste Disposal Outside of Georgia: Dispose of no solid waste outside the state of Georgia without prior written approval of the contracting officer. If the contractor desires this, he shall provide sufficient information as determined by the contracting officer to allow verification of compliance with the law.

C. Reporting of Disposal and Recycling: Robins AFB is required to report on the amount (weight) of construction and demolition debris disposed of or recycled/reused during contracts on the base. The contractor will fill out monthly the attached Waste Management Report (at end of this section) showing the amounts of the various items disposed of or recycled/reused as a result of this contract. Weights of material disposed of in a sanitary or C&D landfill shall be based on the weight tickets required under 1.04.2.d (5) above. Material disposed of in other types of landfills, which do not have weight scales, may be estimated. The weight of materials recycled may be estimated. Use a good faith effort to obtain the most accurate estimate possible. The attached report shall be cumulative from the start of the project so that at the end of the project the final report shall reflect the total amount of material disposed of or recycled. A copy of the report will be turned in to the contract administrator monthly to be forwarded to:
