PREVENTION OF THE DISCHARGE OF OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

(a) POLICY. In compliance with Executive Order Number 11752 (38 F.R. 34793), the policy of the Department of the Navy is to conform to the provisions of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq), and the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, as amended (33 U.S.C. 2701 et seq), insofar as these Acts prohibit the discharge of oil, oily mixtures, and hazardous substances, and regardless of whether or not these Acts pertain specifically to the Naval vessel and shore activities. The provisions of this clause are intended to implement that policy with respect to the vessel(s) being constructed or undergoing repair and overhaul under this contract.

(b) Definitions. For the purpose of this clause, the terms "oil," "oily mixtures," "hazardous substance," and "discharge" shall have the meanings as defined in the Acts referred to in Paragraph (a) of this clause and other environmental statutes.

(c) Trials. Prior to commencement of any dock or sea trials hereunder, the Contractor shall assure the COR by demonstrations, completed test memoranda, or other means reasonably acceptable to the COR that all equipment, the function of which is to prevent the accidental discharge of oil, oily mixtures, or hazardous substances from the vessel, that the Contractor is required by the specifications to install, are fully operable.
