General Environmental Requirements

1.0 Regulated Waste

1.1 Environmental Protection Plan Requirements - The Contractor shall maintain Environmental Protection/Hazardous Material/Hazardous Waste/Spill Program Coordinators within the organization qualified to administer and execute the environmental requirements of the work effort. Contractor shall designate individual shop coordinators from each work area who shall be familiar with all Local, State and Federal environmental instructions, directives, regulations and laws governing their assigned duties, and shall be provided, by the Contractor, the required 24 hour initial and annual 8-hour refresher Hazwoper and environmental/hazardous material training related to transportation, storage, and disposal of the hazardous materials/waste for its personnel and shall document on the host commands training forms. Copies of these training records shall be transferred to the NAVFAC command environmental office upon initiation of this contract. See paragraph 6.1.12.17 for Chemical Material Management requirements.

1.2 Local, State and Federally Regulated Waste Management - The Contractor shall perform regulated and hazardous waste disposal action to include containerizing, marking, labeling and temporary storage of such waste generated as a result of their contracted work obligations. The Government will be considered the generator of facility waste. However, the Contractor is responsible for their own waste i.e. spills, broken containers, and excess material. This shall not obviate the Contractor's responsibility for the proper handling, use, storage and their associate storage areas. When waste is generated, the Contractor must contact NAVFAC Environmental for disposal of all hazardous material/waste IAW pertinent regulations and local instructions. Record keeping and turn in procedures shall be IAW NAS Regulated Waste Management Plans (NASPAXRIVINST 5090.5). The following plans and regulations must be adhered to for Environmental Compliance:

· Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 260-279

· OPNAVINST 5090.1D

· COMAR, Title 26.13

· NASPAXRIVINST 5090.5

1.3 The Contractor shall identify the chemical and physical characteristics of hazardous waste generated and testify to its chemical composition. A combination of chemical analysis and historical data with resulting calculations may be used. A scientific approach is the best business practice which includes a sample analysis of the waste generated, if it is unknown. However, “generator knowledge” is sufficient if the chemicals are basic and known to the user. The Government encourages the use of recycling means for chemicals that can be recycled and reused for other purposes. Contractor shall contract through a recycling company to properly remove products such as oil, anti-freeze and assorted filters. Records of this recycling transaction must be forwarded to NAVFAC Environmental Division in order to retain the records and to provide annual reporting to local, state and federal agencies.

1.4 The Contractor shall be responsible for all waste containers. The Contractor shall order Department of Transportation (DOT) approved waste containers, labels, and markings. Approved containers shall be obtained through various sources outside of the Government supply system.

1.5 The Contractor shall ensure no generated wastes are maintained in the locations on-site storage facilities over the permissible time in accordance with base regulations.

If waste is generated off station (outside of the Pax River Complex, Webster Field and Solomon’s Annex fence lines) or material is used off station and waste is generated, it must be disposed of by the Contractor off station, at the Contractor’s expense. No waste can be brought back on station, for any reason, to be disposed of by the Government.
