About this file
This is a General Environmental Protection Requirements specification section (01 35 43) for Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) construction contracts, issued in December 2020 and superseding the September 2018 version. The specification applies to all WPAFB construction contracts and must be used in conjunction with any additional environmental specifications required by the construction agent.
The specification establishes comprehensive environmental compliance requirements covering air pollution prevention, water resource protection, land resource protection, hazardous materials management, hazardous waste management, storage tank operations, cultural resources, and natural resources. Key submission requirements include preconstruction environmental permits, erosion control plans, storm water pollution prevention plans (SWPPP), asbestos work plans, hazardous materials inventories, site-specific spill plans, hazardous waste storage permits, and various certification reports. The contractor must designate an environmental coordinator within 15 days of Notice to Proceed and complete RCRA training. Specific operational requirements address asbestos-containing materials (ACM) handling and disposal, particulate matter controls, fuel tank management, stationary combustion engines and fuel-fired equipment permitting, HVAC system water analysis, hazardous waste accumulation points with 55-gallon limits, refrigerant recovery for ozone-depleting substances, recycling with a 60% waste diversion target, PCB compound management, underground and aboveground storage tank inspections per STI standards, tree removal restricted to October through March, and projects within the Huffman Retarding Basin requiring volume compensation agreements with the Miami Conservancy District. The specification mandates compliance with federal regulations (40 CFR, 29 CFR), Ohio Administrative Code requirements, and industry standards (AHRI, STI). All work must comply with applicable federal, state, and local environmental laws, with 88 CEG/CEIE serving as the base environmental authority.

SECTION 01 35 43
GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS (WPAFB)
12/20
Use this section on all WPAFB construction contracts.
For contracts to be administered by a construction agent other than the 88th Civil Engineer Group, also use any environmental specification(s) required by the construction agent. If multiple environmental sections are used, resolve any conflicts in coordination with 88 CEG and the construction agent project manager.
During the design process, confirm through the 88 CEG Design Manager, the 88 CEG Environmental Branch, and the AFCEC Installation Restoration Program Office the location, character, and associated restrictions of all WPAFB land areas or structures which (a) are subject to environmental regulatory or management oversight and (b) will or could be impacted by work under this contract. Ensure any such areas are clearly indicated on the contract drawings and described as necessary in drawing notes or specifications.
Edit this section after confirming applicability or non-applicability of the various requirements and submittals.
