Director/CEO Letter No. 17 24 April 2017

SUBJECT: Asbestos and Lead Based Paint (LBP) Abatement

All Exchange Associates

1. Asbestos is a hazardous air pollutant and a hazardous substance. Improper handling and disposal of asbestos exposes the Exchange to fines, penalties and the indefinite liability for future cleanup at any site where asbestos is disposed. Additionally, asbestos is regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) to protect workers. The following policy is intended to ensure proper minimization of the risks associated with asbestos, as well as protection of all concerned.

2. Asbestos was used extensively in military buildings and in equipment as fireproofing and fire retardant material through at least the 1970s. Military construction from World War II onward used asbestos extensively for its fire protection qualities. Exchange buildings from that period constructed to military standards also included extensive asbestos material. Even today, small amounts of asbestos are often found in roofing materials, floor tile and glue or mastic for floor coverings. Since asbestos remains legal for many uses today, no building, regardless of age, is certain to be free of asbestos.

3. The Exchange must include the cost of asbestos removal in renovation projects where asbestos is disturbed but could have otherwise be left in place. With this in mind, asbestos-related work by the Exchange must be done with great care.

4. The Exchange is also responsible for LBP encountered in renovation projects. All such work must use care for protection of human health and the environment, as outlined in the procedures attached.

5. It is the policy of the Exchange that if asbestos or LBP is suspected, a preconstruction survey by qualified experts will be accomplished and documented. All reasonable efforts will be made to avoid disturbing asbestos and LBP and minimize what must be disturbed. The Exchange will ensure that all applicable laws and regulations are carefully followed when dealing with asbestos or LBP.

6. All projects will follow rules, regulations and best management practices concerning protection of the health of project workers, Exchange patrons and associates, and others that may be involved in the abatement process. The specific guidance in the attached will be followed for all renovation projects.

This rescinds Director/CEO Letter 16-17 dated 14 March 2016.

SECTION 00 00 01

Attachment

SPECIFIC GUIDANCE TO BE FOLLOWED FOR ALL EXCHANGE RENOVATION

PROJECTS

All work will be in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. All work will be consistent with applicable requirements of the base/post asbestos management plan, giving due deference to the base or post as owner of the building and of the asbestos or lead based paint being abated.

A. ASBESTOS

Definition: “qualified expert” or “qualified personnel” shall mean a person who has the requisite training and accreditation as an inspector, project designer, supervisor or worker (as applicable in context) as set out in the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Model Accreditation program, including the equivalent training and certification required by state programs for the site of the work.

1. All projects involving renovation when asbestos is suspected must have a survey of the work area by a qualified expert and meet all applicable environmental and safety requirements. Samples will be taken as necessary, including chain of custody documentation, and will be analyzed in accredited laboratories using required and appropriate test methods. If a pre-existing survey by base, post or the Exchange is used to meet this requirement, then it must be approved as currently adequate by a qualified expert.

2. All contract specifications for asbestos surveys and for abatement must be drafted or approved by qualified experts.

Specifications will comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations as well as all applicable health and safety regulations. These include, but are not limited to, the Clean Air Act; Toxic

Substances Control Act; CERCLA; and the OSHA.

3. Abatement projects will follow all normal project requirements, such as post or base environmental approvals.

4. All work must be done by experienced, qualified contractor personnel with qualified supervisory personnel.

a. Contractor must demonstrate at least five years’ experience in asbestos abatement work for renovations or demolitions in projects of similar scope to the subject of the contract.

b. Contractor must demonstrate a clean record of no violations of state or federal environmental, health or safety violations in the last five years.

c. Contactor must provide adequate insurance coverage for claims that may occur before the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations. The Exchange Finance and Accounting Directorate will approve the insurance coverage as to policy and amount, considering all relevant factors and in consultation with Exchange General Counsel and Exchange Real Estate (RE) Environmental or other expert consultants, if needed.

d. Contractor must submit a final report to the Exchange on abatement work done, including required certifications, protective measures used, monitoring results, work logs, worker health and training records, summaries of any problems encountered during the job that might raise safety or health concerns, any disposal of materials containing asbestos and any other deliverables under the contract.

5. All appropriate work site measures must be taken to ensure the health and safety of abatement workers, Exchange customers, Exchange associates and the general public.

6. All work must be documented with appropriate records including daily logs, sample and monitoring results, and photographs of protective measures and work underway.

7. Disposal of asbestos waste from abatement projects will be done by the base or post.

Reimbursement of disposal costs will be included in project costs if base or post funds are certified not sufficient or not available. At a minimum the base or post must always designate the disposal site and sign the disposal manifest as owner, with documentation of the disposal site designation and manifest kept in the Exchange Asbestos Abatement file on the project as set out in paragraph 9 below on retention of records.

8. Asbestos abatement for renovations at Exchange facilities not on an installation controlled by the Army, Air Force or Navy, such as Exchange Headquarters or a distribution facility, will follow the same procedures as on bases and posts. Since disposal of asbestos must be done by the Exchange, the following will apply:

a. If disposal can be done economically through the worldwide Memorandum of Agreement between the Exchange and the Defense Logistics Agency-Disposition Services (DLA-DS), then use DLA-DS to dispose of asbestos debris.

b. If disposal is by the Exchange, then the disposal site will be selected by the Exchange after a due diligence investigation of the disposal site is conducted by the Exchange contracting officer. This investigation will include financial and operational responsibility of the site operator, disclosure by the contractor of all environmental, safety issues within the last five years, such as citations, notices of violation or other enforcement actions by the United States, EPA or OSHA, or state or local equivalent regulatory authorities. Contractor must also disclose all pending legal proceedings related to asbestos abatement or disposal, against the contractor or contractor’s employees. The same responsibility determination will apply to transporters of asbestos if contracted directly by the Exchange.

9. All abatement projects will have a qualified supervisory expert who is independent of the abatement contractor and under direct contract with the Exchange or a fully qualified Exchange associate who must:

a. Review and approve surveys and specifications prior to contract solicitation.

b. Review abatement contractor work plans (including monitoring plans), site protective measures, worker training records, worker personal protective equipment and monitoring equipment prior to start of abatement work.

c. Adequately oversee all stages of work, including independent air monitoring, where appropriate, and having authority to recommend or require immediate work stoppage and suggest corrective action.

d. Reviews and recommend whether contractor records and submittals should be approved by the Exchange contracting officer or if additional documentation is required.

e. Submit a review of abatement contractor’s final report for the Exchange on abatement work done, concurring with report, or noting any errors and recommending any appropriate corrective action to cure the report errors.

f. Have certification as an asbestos supervisor and designer.

10. The Exchange will retain all essential asbestos records for at least 30 years, including surveys, laboratory reports, contractor close-out reports, copies of insurance policies and disposal records.

These surveys will be submitted by contractors in electronic format and will be retained by the Exchange RE Directorate in electronic format. All recordkeeping requirements of the applicable federal, state and local regulators, if different, will also be followed by contractors and by Exchange associates involved in surveys or abatement. The Exchange will coordinate all records with the building owner.

B. LEAD BASED PAINT

1. LBP can be a health hazard to workers and others who may come in contact with it, and to the environment at disposal sites. It is federally regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), CERCLA or the Superfund and OSHA, as well as many applicable state programs on hazardous and solid waste.

2. For each renovation project a qualified person shall review the facility and its history of construction and renovation if LBP is suspected.

a. For projects in which there is an A-E of record, if lead paint is not suspected, the A-E shall state so in writing for the project file and the project can precede with a note to the renovation contractor the LBP is not expected to be present. However, stop work and notify the contracting office of the need to take appropriate action if it is discovered or suspected on the work site.

b. If the A-E believes there is a reasonable possibility that LBP is present in the intended work area, the A-E will provide specifications and statement of work or work plan to remove or abate such lead paint as necessary for the renovation project. These work plans will fully comply with OSHA, particularly 29 CFR 1926.62, RCRA, other applicable state and federal regulations, and follow industry best practices.

Do not remove, cut, deface, injure, or destroy land resources including trees, shrubs, vines, grasses, topsoil, and landforms without approval, except in areas indicated on the drawings or specified to be cleared. All tree removal must be coordinated prior to the project start through DPW-ENRD to ensure timber is identified and appraised for value and reimbursement is provided to the DOD Forestry Account. Trees cannot be given to a contractor without compensation to the DoD Forestry Account prior to harvesting. Please see attachment regarding timber on construction sites. Ropes, cables, or guys will not be fastened to or attached to any trees for anchorage unless specifically authorized. Provide effective protection for land and vegetation resources at all times, as defined in the following subparagraphs. Remove stone, soil, or other materials displaced into un-cleared areas.

3.1 Erosion and Sediment Controls. Providing erosion and sediment control measures in accordance with Federal, State, and local laws and regulations is the Contractor's responsibility. The erosion and sediment controls selected and maintained by the Contractor shall be such that water quality standards are not violated as a result of construction activities. The area of bare soil exposed at any one time by construction operations should be kept to a minimum. Construct or install temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control best management practices (BMPs) as specified in the Alabama Handbook for Erosion Control, Sediment Control and Stormwater Management on Construction Sites and Urban Areas. BMPs may include, but not be limited to, vegetation cover, stream bank stabilization, slope stabilization, silt fences, construction of terraces, interceptor channels, sediment traps, inlet and outfall protection, diversion channels, and sedimentation basins. Remove any temporary measures after the area has been stabilized. Straw bales are no longer recognized on Fort Novosel as appropriate BMPs, and therefore will not be used. Please see ENV-WA001, Stormwater Construction Inspection Program.

3.1.1 Projects Requiring Permitting. If the construction area is 1 acre or greater (to include laydown areas and trenching for utilities), the contractor must submit a Draft Notice of Intent (NOI) and Construction Best Management Practice Plan (CBMPP) to

DPW-ENRD for approval prior to submitting the NOI to the Alabama Department of Environmental Management for a Construction Storm Water Permit. The contractor must also comply with all applicable requirements of ADEM Regulation 335-6-6-.23, including the development and implementation of a Construction Best Management Practices Plan. If the construction area is within the ADEM Priority Watershed there is a 30-Day waiting period after the NOI is submitted to ADEM prior to beginning work.

The contractor is responsible for all inspections required by the permit; to include having a State of Alabama certified Qualified Credentials Inspector or Professional (QCI/QCP) to perform said inspections. The contractor is also responsible for achieving final stabilization as defined in the Construction Stormwater General Permit once the contractor believes that site stabilization has been reached, they must notify DPW- ENRD. DPW-ENRD will make a site visit, if DPW-ENRD agrees the site is stabilized, written notification will be provided to the contractor. Then the contractor may submit their application for a Notice of Termination (NOT) of permit coverage. A copy of the NOT application must also be submitted to DPW-ENRD when submitted to ADEM. The contractor is responsible for the site until ADEM grants the NOT and a copy is provided to DPW-ENRD. The contractor is then responsible for removing any silt fencing or other temporary BMP's from the site.

3.1.2 All Other Projects with Land Disturbance. The contractor shall install temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control best management practices (BMPs) as specified in the Alabama Handbook for Erosion Control, Sediment Control and Stormwater Management on Construction Sites and Urban Areas. All disturbed areas must meet the definition of final stabilization as outlined in the Construction Stormwater General Permit ALR100000, Part IV, Section T (17) regardless of project size or requirement to register under a permit. ADEM defines final stabilization as the application and establishment of the permanent ground cover (vegetative, pavements of erosion resistant hard or soft material or impervious structures) planned for the site to permanently eliminate soil erosion to the maximum extent practicable. Established vegetation will be considered final if 100% of the soil surface is uniformly covered in permanent vegetation with a density of 85% or greater. Permanent vegetation shall consist of; planted trees, shrubs, perennial vines; an agricultural or a perennial crop of vegetation appropriate for the region. Final stabilization applies to each phase of construction.

3.2 Borrow and Stockpile Areas. No project-site borrow areas will be created, except for reutilization of excavated material. Fort Novosel maintains an ADEM permitted borrow pit for clay. If the soil meets compaction requirements for the project, the Contractor may utilize this borrow pit free of charge. If the soil does not meet compaction requirements, or the project site is not located near the main cantonment area, the Contractor is authorized to use material from an off post borrow pit if the pit is permitted through ADEM and approved by DPW-ENRD.

Spoil areas are typically not located on the project site. Fort Novosel maintains an unclassified fill and topsoil stockpile area that can be utilized for spoil, or the spoil can be hauled to another permitted facility with the approval of the Fort Novosel Environmental and Natural Resources Division. In special circumstances, on site spoil areas can be developed with prior approval from DPW-ENRD. Spoil material that contains more than 5% rock or debris must be disposed of in an off-site ADEM permitted location that has been approved by DPW-ENRD. Please see ENV-WA002, Soil Stockpiling and Borrow Pit Use.

3.3 Solid Waste Management Units. Any disturbance of a former Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU) site will require prior written notification and approval by ADEM. The Fort Novosel DPW-ENRD will coordinate the notification with ADEM if the project site includes a SWMU site.

4.0 WATER RESOURCES. Monitor all water areas affected by construction activities to prevent pollution of surface and ground waters. Do not apply toxic or hazardous chemicals to soil or vegetation unless otherwise indicated. For construction activities immediately adjacent to impaired surface waters, the Contractor must be capable of quantifying sediment or pollutant loading to that surface water when required by State or federally issued Clean Water Act permits.

4.1 Stream Crossings. Stream crossings must allow movement of materials or equipment without violating water pollution control standards of the Federal, State, and local governments. Stream crossings may require a permit issued by ADEM and the Mobile District Corps of Engineers. Permit applications will be coordinated with the Fort Novosel DPW-ENRD prior to submission to the permitting authority.

4.2 Wetlands. Do not enter, disturb, destroy, or allow discharge of contaminants into any wetlands. Work to be conducted within a wetland may require a permit issued by ADEM and the Mobile District Corps of Engineers. Permit applications will be coordinated with the Fort Novosel DPW-ENRD prior to submission to the permitting authority.

4.3 Ground Water Monitoring Wells. Ground water monitoring wells within a project footprint will be safeguarded at all times. Any damage caused to these wells will become the responsibility of the contractor to correct, at no additional cost to the government.

4.4 Wastewater. The contractor shall not discharge any wastewater that is in violation of a water quality standard or National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits in accordance with 40 CFR 131 to the ground or stormwater collection system.

In addition, the contractor will not discharge any wastewater to the sanitary sewer that will cause upset of the wastewater treatment plants or cause a violation of the treatment plants NPDES permit. Review and coordination for specific wastewater discharges will be done through DPW-ENRD and the DPW Utilities Branch. The contractor may be required to containerize or filter wastewater prior to discharge based on the specific hazardous constituents that may be present.

4.4.1 Concrete Washout. Waste water from construction activities, such as onsite material processing, concrete curing, foundation and concrete clean-up, water used in concrete trucks, forms, etc. will not be allowed to enter water ways or to be discharged prior to being treated to remove pollutants. Dispose of the construction related wastewater by collecting and placing it in a lined retention pond where suspended material can be settled out and/or the water can evaporate to separate pollutants from the water. The site for the retention pond must be coordinated and approved with the Contracting Officer and the Fort Novosel DPW-ENRD. The residue left in the pond prior to completion of the project will be removed, tested, and disposed off-Government property in accordance with Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.

4.4.2 Flushing and Hydrostatic Testing. Water generated from the flushing of lines after disinfection or disinfection in conjunction with hydrostatic testing will be discharged into the sanitary sewer with prior approval and/or notification to DPW- ENRD, DPW Utilities Branch, and the Wastewater Treatment Plant's Operator.

4.4.3 Detergents, Cleansers and Solvents. DPW-ENRD must review the SDS and approve all detergents, cleansers, and solvents that may be discharged to the sanitary sewer or storm sewer prior to use. This includes detergents used in interior/exterior pressure washing and solvents used in concrete and masonry cleaning.

5.0 AIR RESOURCES. Equipment operation, activities, or processes will be in accordance with all Federal and State air emission and performance laws and standards.

5.1 Permits. Any gas fired equipment that will be installed such as boilers or emergency generators, as well as modifications or installation of new surface coating equipment (paint booths) will be coordinated through the Fort Novosel DPW-ENRD Air Program Manager. The Fort Novosel DPW-ENRD will work with the Contractor to ensure permitting is accomplished through ADEM. Any permitting fees required will be paid by the contractor. Equipment will not be installed nor operated prior to obtaining required permits and approval from DPW-ENRD.

5.2 Particulates. Dust particles; aerosols and gaseous by-products from construction activities; and processing and preparation of materials, such as from asphaltic batch plants; must be controlled at all times, including weekends, holidays and hours when work is not in progress. Maintain excavations, stockpiles, haul roads, permanent and temporary access roads, plant sites, spoil areas, borrow areas, and other work areas within or outside the project boundaries free from particulates which would cause the Federal, State, and local air pollution standards to be exceeded, or which would cause a hazard or a nuisance. Sprinkling, chemical treatment of an approved type, bag house, scrubbers, electrostatic precipitators or other methods will be permitted to control particulates in the work area. Sprinkling, to be efficient, must be repeated to keep the disturbed area damp at all times. Provide sufficient, competent equipment available to accomplish these tasks.

Perform particulate control as the work proceeds and whenever a particulate nuisance or hazard occurs. Comply with all State and local visibility regulations.

5.3 Odors. Odors from construction activities must be controlled at all times. The odors must be in compliance with State regulations and/or local ordinances and may not constitute a health hazard.

5.4 Burning. Burning is prohibited on the Government premises.

6.1 Asbestos. The Contractor shall comply with current regulations issued by the EPA (Clean Air Act), OSHA (29 CFR 1910), DOT, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), and Fort Novosel for handling of asbestos. These regulations require the use of respirators and personal protective equipment, training and accreditation of personnel; containment and engineering controls to reduce the fiber levels; and proper disposal of all waste.

When removal of asbestos containing material is required, an abatement operation utilizing an Alabama Safe State accredited asbestos contractor shall be performed. The asbestos abatement plan must be submitted to the Fort Novosel DPW-ENRD for approval prior to work beginning. The abatement plan must follow the USAACE Form 2739, Asbestos Abatement Work Plan and ENV-AS002, Asbestos Abatement Procedures formatting and guidelines.

Close out documents and air monitoring results must be submitted to the DPW-ENRD once the abatement operation is complete. ACM will be shipped from the installation utilizing USAACE Form 2736. The form must be signed by the DPW-ENRD PRIOR to the ACM leaving the installation.

10 days prior to any building demolition or asbestos abatement, an ADEM Form 496, Notice of Demolition and/or Asbestos Removal must be submitted to the state. A copy of the ADEM Form 496 must also be provided to DPW-ENRD.

Prior to building demolitions, all friable and Category II Non-Friable asbestos containing material must be removed using a State accredited asbestos abatement contractor.

6.2 Lead Based Paint. In areas that contain lead-based paint, the contractor shall follow all OSHA 1926.62 standards for working with paint with lead. This regulation requires the use of personal protective equipment, respirators, air monitoring, and engineering controls to minimize exposure to all individuals. If removal of lead-based paint is required, the paint must be sampled by the DPW-ENRD to determine if it also over regulatory limits for disposal. In the event that the waste is over regulatory limits, it will be managed and disposed of as hazardous waste by the contractor as outlined above in Section 2.4 and ENV-SW010.

7.0 PESTICIDES. The use of pesticides by the Contractor shall be limited to the application of termiticides as soil treatments to prevent infestation by subterranean termites in new construction and renovation projects. Termiticides used under this specification shall be registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the proposed use, listed on the Fort Novosel Pesticide Use List (PUL) and approved by the COR and Pest Management Coordinator prior to application.
