A. The Contractor shall comply with all applicable Federal, State, and Local laws and regulations covering environmental pollution control and abatement in effect on the date of solicitation and the specific requirements stated elsewhere in the Contractor Specifications.

B. The Contractor shall submit an environmental protection plan to the Contracting Officer, which covers the requirements of all waste disposal and Project site operations. The plan shall include, but not be limited to, the use of on base waste disposal site, the names and locations of off base disposal sites, methods used to safely and legally transport wastes to all disposal sites, methods used to prevent non-point source pollution at the Project Site (including a contingency plan for effectively handling spills of hazardous materials), and training for employees on all elements of this plan. No site work, including mobilization, staging and site preparation, shall be permitted prior to approval of the plan by the Contracting Officer. Final work plan approval is contingent upon Contractor meeting all the requirements contained in this section - 1.6 A thru E. Non-compliance with the submittal of hazardous materials utilization information as described in E 2 and 3 of this section can negatively impact project initiation.

C. All construction wastes shall be legally disposed of off- site by the Contractor.

E. The contractor assumes the reporting requirements listed in this section. Figures offer sample formats for meeting the reporting requirements provided in this section. In addition to reporting to the

Section 01 57 20.01 29 Attach 1 Page 3 of 13

Contracting Officer, the applicable reports are due to Environmental Department (ENV) monthly or at contract closeout, whichever occurs first, unless otherwise indicated in the subsection. Information can be submitted by fax at (907) 585-6565, by e-mail at james.ward.70.ctr@spaceforce.mil, or in person to Room 2008 in Bldg. 201.

1. Copies of any required communications with ADEC or EPA must be submitted to ENV for review and retention in the department files. Regulatory communication examples could include APDES NOI and asbestos removal notification.

2. At least 30 days prior to construction contractors must submit to ENV a list (Utilization Request or equivalent) of all hazardous chemicals/materials (HM) to be utilized. The list (Figure 1) should include name of the chemical or commercial product name, quantities, storage location, process description and a Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Subsequent, use of hazardous materials not included in the original work plan must be cleared through Clear’s Environmental department. All required documentation must be submitted prior to approving the material for site entry and utilization.

3. Quantities of HM utilized should be reported periodically or at the conclusion of the project whichever is agreed to by the contract representative(s). The contractor will submit a final HM inventory reporting quantities used and duration on site. In addition, all unused chemical / hazardous materials must be removed from Clear Space Force Station. Electronic submission of utilization information to the ENV office is preferable at:

james.ward.70.ctr@spaceforce.mil

4. The contractor must report all off-site diversion and disposal of solid waste required during the completion of the project (Figure 2). This information should be reported as pounds of solid waste and indicated proportionally as municipal solid waste and construction and demolition debris. If it is not possible to report this information in pounds, the volume of waste and the composition of each volume of waste will be provided. Due to AF waste disposal reporting metrics all solid waste disposal information must be reported within 7 days the end of every month.

5. The contractor will report to the ENV office all hazardous waste generated as a result of the project as they occur to ensure proper accumulation procedures are followed. A receipt proving proper off-site disposal at a Solid Waste Landfill must be submitted or mailed directly to the Environmental Department.

6. Prior to beginning asbestos or lead paint abatement the contractor must submit an activities record (Figure 3). The activities record should include the names of the personnel performing the work, supervisor’s name, date(s) of work, description of what is to be abated, quantity and the special safety conditions taken.

7. Submit certification records of all personnel working with hazardous chemicals or abating toxic materials (asbestos & lead). Resume and certification of the abatement supervisor, responsible party or third party IH subcontractor must be included. The certifications can be included as an appendix to the EH& S or the Environmental Protection Plan.

8. Analytical results from required air monitoring in areas where hazardous material PELs or action levels may be exceeded, or sampling activities for identifying asbestos containing materials (ACM) or lead based paint must be submitted to the ENV office.

9. Any hazardous and non-hazardous wastes recycled, reused, or otherwise diverted from disposal will be reported in pounds or as a volume as previously described (Figure 2).
