Waste Program Manager to meet applicable regulatory requirements. The paint waste will be properly classified; waste includes: (i) used and unused paint and solvents; (ii) paint mixed with blast media; (iii) and paint dust/particles.

Manifests / Weekly Inspections: Contractor shall comply with all applicable VADEQ and USEPA regulations for waste disposal. If wastes are determined to be hazardous by regulatory criteria, any waste-containing receptacles/containers cannot leave Fort Gregg-Adams premises until a completed manifest is reviewed and signed by Fort Gregg-Adams’s HWPM, or their designee. If the Contractor knows a quantity of hazardous waste will be generated, the Contractor will arrange to have the material removed from Fort Gregg-Adams premises within 72 hours of generation. If this cannot be accomplished, the Contractor will contact the HWPM as necessary to coordinate the storage of waste containers on Fort Gregg-Adams premises for less than 90 days, as necessary.

Contractor will dispose of hazardous waste generated on site in containers procured by the Contractor. Contractor will dispose of hazardous wastes at an appropriate landfill and/or treatment center.

Hazardous Waste Contact Information: Contractor will submit copies of preliminary and subsequent samples, manifests, and weekly inspection records to Fort Gregg-Adams’s Hazardous Waste Program Manager at 825 19th Street, Fort Gregg-Adams, VA Bldg. 6005, 23801-1530 or call to arrange hand-delivery @ 804-734-3811.

Solid Waste: Contractor will dispose of non-hazardous solid waste generated on site in containers procured by the Contractor.

Ambient Air: 15 business days prior to commencement of restoration activities, the Contractor will provide a qualitative discussion (2-3 paragraphs) sufficient to indicate the Contractor’s actions will comply with regulations under the Clean Air Act (CAA) with respect to ambient air concentrations of lead and other pollutants of potential concern. This qualitative description must include the methods and equipment to be used in the containment and capture of dust and all airborne pollutants and must submitted to the Asbestos/Lead Specialist and Compliance Manager.

The Contractor will utilize capture equipment that will obtain an adequate removal / capture efficiency which will prevent particulate matter and/or metals concentrations to violate ambient air quality standards at Fort Gregg-Adams at the worksite and fence line; however, it will be the sole responsibility of the Contractor to ensure full compliance with the CAA throughout the period of performance for the related contract.

Air Monitoring: As necessary to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, the Contractor will implement an air monitoring program to ensure adequate levels of protection are afforded to Contractor personnel and other parties who may be exposed to ambient air potentially affected by these operations. The decision to implement an air monitoring program as part of this project is at the sole discretion of the Contractor as required to meet all applicable human health, environmental, and safety regulations, requirements.

Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Work Practice Standards: Volatile organic compounds shall not be intentionally spilled, discarded in sewers, or stored in open containers, or handled in any other manner that would result in evaporation beyond that consistent with good air pollution practices for minimizing emissions.

Solvent: Depending on the type of solvent cleaning equipment, the Contractor will be subject to 9 VAC 5-40-3260 (Rule 4-24), Emission Standards for Solvent Metal Cleaning Operations Using Non-Halogenated Solvents. As part of an effective ozone control strategy, operations that use solvents (e.g., hand wiping, immersion, or vapor degreasing for surface cleaning, paint clean up, and general maintenance activities) should employ pollution prevention measures such as use of non or low-VOC content solvents. As well, HAP emissions can be reduced by substituting very low HAP (less than five percent) or HAP-free exempt products. A HAP-free water reducible product should be used for cleaning paint guns and lines. Notably, the decision and authority to use an alternative product must follow the appropriate implementation route. Although methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) was recently delisted as a HAP, it is not to be considered a viable alternative solvent. Ozone depleting chemical (ODC) solvents shall not be used during course of this project.
