The Contractor acknowledges that Tennessee Department of Environmental Compliance (TDEC) issued a Corrective Action Order (CAO) at RFAAP for clean-up of historically contaminated sites, i.e., Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU) and Areas of Concern (AOC). The Contractor further agrees that on-plant activities conducted pursuant to this contract shall not unduly impede or delay the remedial actions, or Land Use Controls required by the terms of the CAO. Any spills/releases that occur on-site as a result of Contractor operations (including their subcontractors and tenants) which also occurs on any SWMU, shall be cleaned. For non-landfill areas, this means that the cleanup level shall be achieved commensurate with the status of the SWMU. All SWMUs with No Further Action (NFA) status shall be cleaned to residential standards for the contaminant released by the Contractor. Any SWMU not in NFA shall be cleaned to the industrial standard after the appropriate SWMU notification is complete. Any releases/spills occurring in a non-SWMU area shall be cleaned to residential standards in order to avoid future Army liabilities inherited from a Contractor’s operations.
6.1. The Contractor, tenants and subcontractors shall comply with the Land Use Controls (LUCs) resulting from the CAO and Statement of Basis documents for the SWMUs and AOCs that require LUCs. The Contractor shall review all dig permits and proposed construction sites utilizing the most up to date Geographical Information System (GIS) data to ensure that the LUCs are not violated and to insure that groundwater monitoring wells are not impeded or damaged.
7. Inspection/Final Acceptance: Performance on this PWS will be monitored by representatives of AMJM-FR, RFAAP Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) Staff. The Contractor shall provide support for periodic inspections (approximately 2 times yearly), supporting documentation support of unlimited work-site visits.
Acceptance inspections shall be performed by representatives of RFAAP ACO Staff and will be based upon the approved plans outlined above.
8. Regulatory Interpretation: In situations where the Contractor and the ACO Staff
Environmental Coordinator differ in regard to interpretation of regulations, permits or regulator guidance, the regulatory agencies (Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and/or Environmental Protection Agency) shall be requested to resolve the issue.
9. Applicable Environmental Regulatory Requirements: A listing of current environmental regulations applicable to activities at RFAAP shall be maintained in the RFAAP ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) documentation system. The EMS documentation system shall be managed, and frequently reviewed, by the RFAAP EMS management representative.
