STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

FOR

WASTE WATER REMOVAL FOR JOINT MARINE TEST FACILITY (JMTF)

1.1 Background

The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Research & Development Center (RDC) conducts a variety of research projects in the area of oil spill response. One of the specific topics is the use of in-situ burning. This is a technique which involves corralling the oil in a fire-resistant boom or enclosed area and igniting it. Although it creates a dark plume, it also removes the oil from the surface of the water. One of the research facilities owned by the RDC is a 40 foot by 100 foot open outdoor steel tank which is located at the Joint Marine Test Facility (JMTF) on Little Sand Island (LSI) in Mobile, AL. This facility was originally built in 1998 and a multiple of tests were conducted through 2002. At that time, the equipment was drained and the system placed inactive. A test series in November 2015 introduced an oil boom and diesel fuel into the tank for burning purposes. As a result the tank is currently holding contaminated waste water mixture (with Diesel Fuel #2 NR Dyed 15ppm) that must be removed and disposed of.

1.2 Scope

The scope of this order is to remove all waste water from the burn tank, decontaminate the tank and boom, and then remove any residual wash-down water. The scope also includes the disposal of the contaminated waste water in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.

The Contractor is solely responsible for any and all spills, leaks, or releases during the performance of work under this order which occur as a result of the gross negligence of its agents, employees, or subcontractors.

The Contractor agrees to clean up such spills, leaks, or releases in a manner that complies with applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, and procedures. Cleanup will be at no cost to the Government.
