Work also includes foundation piers, anchoring, tie-downs, modular constructed facility, emergency generators, and uninterrupted power supply.

A multi-storied parking garage will be constructed to serve both the interim modular campus and the future permanent facility. Demolition of seven NGIS units (Bldgs SC32, SC33, SC34, SC35, SC36, SC37, SC141, and SC142), sidewalks, and mature trees are required for the parking garage construction. The project also includes the installation of utility connections for the Interim Modular Facilities. Electrical utilities include electrical distribution, rerouting of existing high voltage lines, transformers, overhead lighting, and communication distribution.

Mechanical utilities include water distribution, water meter, backflow preventer, sanitary sewer, storm water collection systems, and rerouting of gas lines. Telecommunication lines will be routed from NH19 and NH31.

10. Why is this project needed?

NATO's Joint Forces Command Norfolk (JFC-NF) will experience substantial manpower growth between now and 2027. A permanent long-term solution has been identified but is currently unprogrammed. To minimize impact on mission operations, NATO has approved an interim permanent modular constructed facility project to house the anticipated growth in administrative and operational personnel.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS OR EV PROGRAM MANAGER COMMENTS

Please send updated plans for review to the Media Managers at the following stages

Comments/Requirements StageEV Program Manager

Environmental Compliance

Tank/POL Program Requirements:

Transformers are considered oil-filled operational equipment (OFOE) (equipment that includes an oil storage container in which the oil is present solely to support the function of the apparatus or device). If any oil filled transformers are planning to be demolished or oil removed, then the oil will need to be characterized and properly disposed of before the transformer gets disposed of. If transformers are confirmed to be PCB free, then supporting documentation will need to be provided (UEM can possibly confirm or nameplates can indicated if oil is PCB free). If oil can't be confirmed to be PCB free, it will need to be properly managed and disposed of as PCB contaminated oil and coordination will be required with Hazardous Waste Program Manager.

NAVFAC owned transformers with an oil container 55 gallons or greater and present longer than 180 days are included in the base's SPCC Plan inventory and considered regulated. A spill kit needs will need to remain on site, adequately sized and readily available and operators must be familiar with the spill kit and above spill reporting procedures.

Any drop inlets or drains should be protected to prevent any releases into storm system or sanitary sewer system. If non-PCB oil, oil disposal recycling manifests and all waste documents need to be maintained and provided to the Hazardous Waste Program Manager at the end of the project. Also, any new transformers installed will require coordination with Tank/POL Program Manager since they will need to be added to the OFOE Equipment Inventory.

Fuel tank inspection and training requirements for aboveground fuel storage tanks (to include but not limited to: emergency generator belly/ base tanks, day tanks, stand-alone tanks, etc.):

Federal Environmental regulations require inspections and training for Petroleum, Oil or Lubricants (POL) tanks and containers 55 gallons and greater. A tank inspection will be required for permanent ASTs or portable generators with containers of Petroleum, Oil or Lubricants (POL) 55 gallons or greater that are utilized for longer than 30 days.

Also, any oil handling personnel are required to complete the following ECATTS training requirements (Be sure to put NSA Hampton Roads VA as the installation): Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC), NSA HRs Annual Spill Briefing and Aboveground Storage Tank Monthly Inspection Training. Notify Tank Program Manager if a fuel tank or POL container 55 gallons or greater is permanently installed or used at site. Records should be maintained for 5 years and must be made available on site for inspections at all times. Suggest maintaining a binder to keep copies of all inspection forms, trainings, copies of tank manufacturer info and tank specs., maintenance records, tank SOP, etc.

Permanent installations of generators with containers of Petroleum, Oil or Lubricants (POL) 55 gallons or greater will need to comply with the below requirements:

Notify Tank/POL Program Manager if a fuel tank or POL (Petroleum, Oils, Revised 2/19/2020 Page 7 of 15Environmental Checklist

Comments:

Lubricants) container 55 gallons or greater is installed or utilized. Fuel tanks (emergency generator belly/base tanks, day tanks, stand-alone tanks, etc.) must be UL listed. Tanks must have sized secondary containment IAW 40 CFR 112.8(c)(2). Containment must hold 100% of the single largest tank within the berm PLUS sufficient freeboard.

Double walled tanks are required to be equipped with an audible alarm that sounds at 90% full by volume. Interstitial spaces must be able to be monitored to detect leaks. Tank must have a fuel liquid level gauge.

Ensure fill connection is liquid-tight, and connection point is located such that tank and liquid level gauge are clearly visible to deliverer during fueling deliveries. Tanks must be vented IAW NFPA 30: Install normal vent for primary tank and emergency vents for both primary tank and interstitial compartment (no normal vent required for the interstice). IAW NFPA 30, ASTs must be installed with the following setbacks: minimum 5' from the building, tank vents must be at least 5' from any building opening and 15' from building ventilation intakes.

Install spill containment equipment at the fill connection that is capable of holding the maximum quantity of fuel stored in the delivery hose.

Ensure all piping, caps, and valves are made of ductile iron or steel. For all fittings, ensure pipe dope or similar thread-sealing compound is properly applied to ensure leak-proof and pressure tight fittings as well as to avoid seizing of the fitted parts. Install an anti-siphon valve upgradient from (i.e. on the tank side of) the existing block/ check valve and the isolation valve in accordance with NFPA 30, 30A, and PEI RP 200-13. Per NFPA 30- 22.13.1, each connection to the AST through which liquid can normally flow shall be provided with a block valve located as close as practical to the tank shell to allow isolation during an emergency or for repairs. A check valve alone cannot be used to meet this requirement, although one can be used in conjunction with the operating valve. Piping should be labeled with flow direction arrows and wording in accordance with ANSI A13.1 requirements. Ensure proper corrosion protection for any portion of the tank or its piping that is in contact with the soil such that it is properly engineered, installed, and maintained (by providing a maintenance plan to the owner) in accordance with the requirements of NFPA 30- 21.4.5. Install and design tank configuration to include unions, valves, and other alleviating devices that allow easy access, inspection, and testing of tank appurtenances as part of the required annual inspection under STI SP001. ASTs should not be located over underground utilities or directly beneath overhead power and telephone lines.

Spill kit should be readily available at the site and adequately sized for the tank. If at all possible, the fuel tank should not be placed near storm drains to prevent releases into the storm system. Owner/operator should be familiar with the spill reporting procedures. Notify Tank Program Manager when tank is installed since inspections and training are required for the owner/operator once in operation and tank will be required to be included in Base SPCC Plan. Tanks installed 660 or greater will need to be registered with VDEQ.

Any use of temporary portable generators with containers of Petroleum, Oil or Lubricants (POL) 55 gallons or greater will require secondary containment and if used longer than 30 days will require notification and coordination with the Tank/POL Program Manager since containers of POL have specific installation and management requirements (depending on size, type, etc.). Keep a spill kit on site if using heavy equipment in case of an accidental release (hydraulic line bursts, refueling, etc.)

A pre-construction air permit may be required for the proposed emissions-generating equipment. The air permit process can take 6 months up to 2 years for complicated projects. If permitting is required, the permit must be received before the requested action can be taken (before construction can begin and before equipment can be brought on site). Failure to obtain required permits would violate State and Federal Environmental regulations and could result in enforcement action, including fines.

Emergency generators:

Equipment must be certified to meet applicable EPA emission limits.

Coordinate with the Environmental Air Program Manager to ensure equipment meets regulatory requirements and to determine if pre-construction air permitting is required. Copies of the EPA emissions certifications must be provided to the Air Program Manager.

Emergency generators are to be operated only for emergency purposes, training, testing, and maintenance and must be equipped with non-resettable hour meters. Generators used for any other purpose are considered non-emergency and require extensive design considerations that must be coordinated with the Air Program Manager prior to purchase of equipment. Report to the Air Program Manager the design details for all generators, to include: generator manufacturer, model number, serial number; engine manufacturer, model number, serial number; fuel type; size (engine hp and generator kW); date of manufacture; and engine family number.

Oil or natural gas-fired boilers, furnaces, and hot water heaters:

Ensure equipment meets applicable EPA emission limits. Contact the Environmental Air Program Manager early in the design process to identify regulatory requirements and determine the need for pre-construction air permits and/or regulatory notifications.

Report to the Environmental Air Program Manager the design details for all fuel-fired boilers, heaters, water heaters or furnaces. Include:

equipment purpose (water heater, building heat, etc), manufacturer, model number, serial number, fuel type (oil type, gas type), and Million BTU (MMBTU) heat input rating.

HVAC equipment:

Report new HVAC equipment to the Environmental Air Program Manager. Include equipment type, manufacturer, model number, serial number, refrigerant type, tons cooling capacity, and normal pounds refrigerant charge. Include pounds normal charge per circuit if unit consists of multiple independent circuits. Refrigerant-related work must be performed by EPA certified technicians, using recycling/recovery equipment that meets EPA standards, and performed per EPA regulations governing Ozone Depleting Substances (40 CFR 82).

Records must be kept of all refrigerant used/recovered/disposed.

Provide records to the Environmental Air Program Manager and Facilities Operations Specialist (FOS) upon completion.

Asphalt paving:

Asphalt paving operations must comply with Virginia Regulations for Asphalt Paving Operations (9VAC5 Chapter 45; Article 7, Emission Standards for Asphalt Paving Operations). 9VAC5-45-780 has specific requirements for type of asphalt that can be used (eg: emulsified asphalt).

Hazardous Waste Program requirements:

All waste must be characterized in accordance with the Virginia Hazardous Waste Management Regulations and/or the Virginia Solid Waste Management Regulations and disposed of at an appropriate off-site facility. Waste determinations need to be made on all waste (including construction and demo debris, excess soil, etc.) to determine whether it's hazardous or not per 40 CFR 262.11. Every waste stream must have a waste determination and profile created prior to disposal. If generator knowledge (SDS, etc.) is not available to make a waste determination, the waste will need to be sampled to determine if it is hazardous or not and generators must retain all supporting data used to make the determination. If there is uncertainty regarding miscellaneous wastes generated during the activity, please contact the Installation's Environmental Division for proper disposal instructions. All sample analysis and waste determination documentation should be forwarded to Hazardous Waste Program Manager (HWPM) to confirm whether the waste is hazardous. Any hazardous waste that is generated will require proper management and disposal and should be coordinated with HWPM (so a hazardous waste site can be set up, training can be provided and to ensure we maintain compliance from cradle to grave).

All hazardous waste and any containerized (non-hazardous) solid waste (liquid or solid) will require a waste profile and shipping documents to be signed off by NAVFAC MIDLANT Environmental Services before disposal at an off -site facility (route all profile and manifest through

HWPM).

Hazardous Waste

Wastewater:

Dewatering - If this project requires excavation or dewatering, please note that groundwater pumped from an excavation containing petroleum-contaminated soils (and any groundwater which has free product, sheen, or petroleum odor) is determined to be contaminated and therefore must be managed in accordance with state and federal regulations. If groundwater in close proximity to petroleum contamination is to be discharged onsite (with or without treatment), coverage under the VPDES General Permit for Discharges from Petroleum Contaminated Sites is most likely needed. While there are currently no fees for this particular permit; there may be a wait time of

Revised 2/19/2020 Page 10 of 15Environmental Checklist

30 days for the processing of the permit once all required info is submitted.

If this project is proposing offsite disposal of petroleum-contaminated soil or groundwater; please be sure to coordinate disposal with NAVFAC MIDLANT Environmental Services (EV Services) HAZMAT/Waste Disposal Department. All material/waste taken offsite for disposal must have a waste determination profile (based on laboratory analysis) that has been reviewed by EV Services HAZMAT/Waste Disposal. Additionally, a few trained, specially qualified members of EV Services HAZMAT/Waste Disposal are the only personnel eligible to sign waste manifests and shipping papers for material/waste leaving the installation. EV Services HAZMAT/Waste Disposal tracks material/waste taken offsite for all regional facilities, so it is recommended that you coordinate with them at least a week prior to needed disposal whenever possible. POC - Bobby L. Hughes, Hazardous Waste Supervisor, (757) 341-0471, bobby.hughes@navy.mil.

New sewer line - Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) must be informed of the new sewer line before starting construction. Coordinate with Public Works / Utilities prior to construction of new sewer line.

Connection to base sanitary sewer system may require Certificate to Construct/Certificate to Operate from Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) depending on type of connection and flow. Coordinate with Water Program Manager and Utilities department.

Any communications with regulatory agencies regarding water issues will be handled by the Water Program Manager.

Consultation on the parking garage, modular office, and permanent location will be included due to proximity and related mission. SHPO consultation shall begin as early as 35% design and continued coordination will be required through 65% and 95% and final design.

Nearby viewsheds from two existing historic districts is required to assess the impact of the project. Additional information required includes exterior appearance of both the parking garage and modular facility and landscape plans to include in the consultation. Confirmation

Revised 2/19/2020 Page 13 of 15Environmental Checklist that the modular site and temporary parking garage will be removed (or not) in the future is required as part of the consultation.

Please continue to coordinate closely as the DB RFP is reviewed and submitted with the EV team and Cultural Resources Manager. Please contact taylor.s.austin2.civ@us.navy.mil; 757-421-8240.

REQUIREMENTS FOR SOIL DISPOSED OFFSITE:

Any soils removal/disposal will require analytical testing so RECOMMEND reusing any soils at project site since soils re-used on site (project site area only) are not regulated and will not require any analytical testing provided there is no petroleum contamination. If during excavation of soils any visible and/or odor/smell of petroleum contamination is encountered, excavation operations should stop, and the Installation Environmental Department be contacted immediately.

Soils that require disposal off site (to either be disposed of at a permitted landfill or to be used at another site) must be characterized in accordance with the Virginia Hazardous Waste Management Regulations and/or the Virginia Solid Waste Management Regulations and managed at an appropriate off-site facility. If any soil needs to be disposed of, it will need to be sampled for ignitability, Corrosivity, Reactivity, TCLP (metals, VOCs, SVOCs, pesticides, and herbicides), PCBs, BTEX, TPH, TOX, Paint Filter in accordance with the Soils Management SOP. All analysis, methods, sample collection and frequency should be conducted in accordance with EPA SW-846 Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods for RCRA disposal purposes.

Analytical laboratories are required to be VELAP certified/accredited and must provide documentation (e.g. certification number) upon request. All sample results need to be forwarded to Hazardous Waste Program Manager (HWPM). If soil comes back as hazardous, it will require management and disposal as a hazardous waste. Contact HWPM for assistance. If results come back as non-hazardous EV Services will need to preapprove the disposal facility and the contractor will need to get a waste profile (obtain from the landfill or disposal contractor) and shipping documents signed off by EV Services. NAVFAC MIDLANT EV Services Dept. is the only authorizing agent permitted to sign all waste profiles and manifests (hazardous and non-hazardous) on behalf of the Navy. Soil should be stored in a manner that prevents runoff (e.g. store the soil over and under plastic sheets surrounded by hay bales or in lined, covered dumpsters and use inlet protection). If soil is known to be contaminated with a petroleum product, sampling frequency will be one (1) sample for every 250 cubic yards of soil and should be contained in covered dumpsters until off-site disposal.

REQUIREMENTS FOR OFF SITE SOIL BROUGHT IN TO BE USED AS

BACKFILL:

Any backfill brought on site will require analytical testing so RECOMMEND reusing any soils at project site since soils re-used on site (project site area only) are not regulated and will not require any analytical testing provided there is no petroleum contamination. If during excavation of soils any visible and/or odor/smell of petroleum contamination is encountered, excavation operations should stop, and the Installation Environmental Department be contacted immediately.

Revised 2/19/2020 Page 14 of 15Environmental Checklist

Soils brought in from off site for use as backfill shall be tested and analyzed for Target Analyte List (TAL) Inorganics (total metals), Target Compound List (TCL) Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene, TCL Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs), TCL Polychlorinated Biphenyl's (PCBs), TCL Pesticides, Chlorinated Dioxins, Total Organic Halogen/Halide (TOX) and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) in accordance with Virginia DEQ's Management of and Reuse of Contaminated Media Guidance and Variance LPR-SW-04-2012. Since this is not going out as waste and will be used as clean fill, the analysis will need to be run as Totals instead of TCLP. For each borrow site, provide borrow site testing from a composite sample of material, collected in accordance with standard soil sampling techniques. Backfill shall not contain concentrations of analyses above the appropriate State and/or EPA criteria. All analysis, methods, sample collection and frequency, etc. should be conducted in accordance with EPA SW-846 Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/ Chemical Methods. Analytical laboratories are required to be VELAP certified/accredited and must provide documentation (e.g.

certification number) upon request. Do not bring material onsite until tests results have been received and approved by the Contracting Officer. Most of the Hampton Roads area is currently located within an Imported Fire Ant quarantine area. Regulated articles (including soil) can be moved freely within the quarantine area; however, regulated articles may not be moved outside of the quarantine area unless they have been certified free of Imported Fire Ants by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Affairs. Soil should be stored in a manner that prevents runoff (e.g. store the soil over and under plastic sheets surrounded by hay bales, use inlet protection).

Comments:

If any additional element outside the planned scope occurs during this project (excavation, ground intrusive work, additional building/area, etc.), further Environmental review will be required. Please contact the NEPA Program Manager.

POC: Lindsey Evans, NEPA Program Manager, 757-836-1487, lindsey.m.evans2.civ@us.navy.mil

For the subject Environmental Checklist and any applicable Categorical Exclusion (CATEX) to remain valid, all Environmental Media/Program Manager comments documented in this Checklist must be followed and incorporated into activities, project designs/specifications, and contract awards. A documented NEPA decision [i.e., signed Record of Categorical Exclusion (RCE), Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), or Record of Decision (ROD)] must be completed prior to undertaking any action or award of any contract. Failure to follow these requirements subjects the installation to unnecessary risk for environmental violations, repeat or additional regulatory consultations/permits, and schedule and cost overruns.

STEP 3: NEPA PROGRAM MANAGER RECOMMENDATION

Based on information found in Steps 1 and 2 of this document, I find that the project or activity does not meet any of the extraordinary circumstances found in the Navy’s NEPA Implementing Regulation, 32 CFR 775, and that the proposed action/project meets the criteria for application of:

Based on information found in Steps 1 and 2 of this document, I find that the project or activity meets one or more extraordinary circumstances found in the Navy’s NEPA Implementing Regulation, 32 CFR 775and will have potentially significant environmental impacts, preventing the application of a CATEX. At a minimum, an Environmental Assessment is necessary unless impacts will clearly be significant, in which case an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be required. My recommendation for higher level NEPA analysis will be forwarded up my installation chain-of-command, and will be shared with the COMNAVREG MIDLANT Environmental Planning Office and Counsel.
