PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1. HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

A. Prepare a Hazardous Waste Management Plan detailing the manner in which hazardous wastes will be managed and describing the types and volumes of hazardous wastes anticipated to be managed. The plan must address both onsite and offsite hazardous waste management. Describe the methods to be used to ensure accurate piece counts or weights of shipments; describe waste minimization methods; identify and describe

Electronic Health Records Modernization 02 81 00 - 9 of 15 facilities to be used for treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD);

identify areas onsite where hazardous wastes are to be handled; and identify whether transfer facilities are to be used; and if so, how the wastes will be tracked to ultimate disposal. Submit the plan to the Contracting Officer for approval prior to start of work. Submit written documentation of weekly hazardous waste inspections on a monthly basis.

3.2. ONSITE HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT

A. Coordinate the onsite management of all hazardous materials and waste with the COR. These paragraphs apply to Government owned waste only.

The Contractor is responsible for ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local hazardous waste laws and regulations and verifying those requirements when preparing reports, waste shipment records, hazardous waste manifests, or other documents. Identify hazardous wastes using criteria set forth in 40 CFR 261 or applicable state and local laws, regulations, and ordinances. Comply with generator requirements in 40 CFR 262 when accumulating hazardous waste onsite.

Onsite accumulation times must be restricted to applicable time frames referenced in 40 CFR 262, Section .34 or as otherwise directed by the

COR. Accumulation start dates commence when waste container is transferred into a 90 day accumulation site or permitted storage facility. Only use containers in good condition and compatible with the waste to be stored. Ensure containers are closed except when adding or removing waste, and immediately mark all hazardous waste containers with the words "hazardous waste" and other information required by 40 CFR 262, Section .32 as soon as the waste is containerized. An additional marking must be placed on containers of

"unknowns" designating the date sampled, and the suspected hazard.

Inspect containers for signs of deterioration and for responding to any spills or leaks. Inspect all hazardous waste areas weekly and provide written documentation of the inspection. Include date and time of inspection, name of individual conducting the inspection, problems noted, and corrective actions taken on the inspection logs.

3.3. HAZARDOUS WASTE CLASSIFICATION

A. Identify all waste codes applicable to each hazardous waste stream based on requirements in 40 CFR 261 or applicable state or local law or regulation. Also identify applicable treatment standards in 40 CFR

268 and state land disposal restrictions and make a determination as to whether or not the waste meets or exceeds the standards. Submit waste profiles, analyses, classification, and treatment standards information to COR for review and approval.

3.4. OFFSITE HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT

A. Coordinate the offsite transfer of all hazardous materials and waste with the COR. Use RCRA Subtitle C permitted facilities which meet the requirements of 40 CFR 264 or facilities operating under interim status which meet the requirements of 40 CFR 265. Do not use offsite treatment, storage, and disposal facilities with significant RCRA violations or compliance problems (such as facilities known to be releasing hazardous constituents into ground water, surface water, soil, or air). Submit Notices of Non-Compliance and Notices of

Violation by a federal, state, or local regulatory agency issued to the Contractor in relation to any work performed under this contract.

Immediately provide copies of such notices to the Contracting Officer.

Also furnish relevant documents regarding the incident and any information requested by the COR and coordinate its response to the notice with the COR prior to submission to the notifying authority.

Also furnish a copy to the COR of all documents submitted to the regulatory authority, including the final reply to the notice, and all other materials, until the matter is resolved.

3.5. TREATMENT, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL FACILITY AND TRANSPORTER

A. Provide the COR with EPA ID numbers, names, locations, and telephone numbers of TSD facilities and transporters. This information must be contained in the Hazardous Waste Management Plan and be approved by the COR prior to waste disposal.

3.6. FACILITY STATUS INFORMATION

A. Facilities receiving hazardous waste must be permitted in accordance with 40 CFR 270 or operating under interim status in accordance with

Electronic Health Records Modernization 02 81 00 - 11 of 15

40 CFR 265 requirements or permitted by a state authorized by the

Environmental Protection Agency to administer the RCRA permit program.

Additionally, prior to using a TSD Facility, contact the EPA Regional

Offsite Coordinator specified in 40 CFR 300, Section .440, to determine the facility's status, and document all information necessary to satisfy the requirements of the EPA Offsite policy and submit this information to the COR in the Hazardous Waste Management

Plan.

3.7. SHIPPING DOCUMENTS AND PACKAGINGS CERTIFICATION

A. Prior to shipment of any hazardous material offsite, and a minimum of

5 days prior to anticipated pickup, provide for review written certification to the COR that hazardous materials have been properly packaged, labeled, and marked in accordance with Department of

Transportation and EPA requirements. Furnish designated disposal facility packaging assurances not later than 35 days after acceptance of the shipment. The Contractor's TDC must also provide written certification regarding waste minimization efforts documenting that efforts have been taken to reduce the volume and toxicity of waste to the degree economically practicable and that the method of treatment, storage, or disposal selected minimizes threats to human health and the environment.

3.8. TRANSPORTATION

A. Prior to conducting hazardous materials activities, the Contractor responsible for pre-transportation activities must either certify to the Government that a Security Plan is in place which meets the requirements of 49 CFR 172, Subpart I or in the event that the types or amounts of hazardous materials are excluded from the security planning requirements, a written statement to that effect detailing the basis for the exception. Use manifests for transporting hazardous wastes as required by 40 CFR 263 or applicable state or local law or regulation. Transportation must comply with all requirements in the

Department of Transportation referenced regulations in the 49 CFR series. Prepare hazardous waste manifests for each shipment of hazardous waste shipped offsite. Complete manifests using instructions in 40 CFR 262, Subpart B and applicable state or local

Electronic Health Records Modernization 02 81 00 - 12 of 15 law or regulation. Submit manifests and waste profiles to the COR for review and approval. Prepare land disposal restriction notifications as required by 40 CFR 268 or applicable state or local law or regulation for each shipment of hazardous waste. Submit notifications with the manifest to the COR for review and approval.

3.9. TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS WASTES

A. Coordinate any offsite shipments of hazardous materials or hazardous wastes with the COR. Initial, or satellite hazardous waste accumulation is limited to 55 gallons (or 1 quart of acutely hazardous waste). Once a waste stream exceeds 55 gallons, it must be transferred to an on-site 90-day (180-day small quantity generator) accumulation area, or a permitted hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facility within three days. Ship hazardous wastes only to facilities which are properly permitted to accept the hazardous waste or operating under interim status. Ensure wastes are treated to meet land disposal treatment standards in 40 CFR 268 prior to land disposal. Propose TSD facilities via submission of the Hazardous

Waste Management Plan, subject to the approval of the COR. Submit

Certificates of Disposal documenting the ultimate disposal, destruction or placement of hazardous wastes, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and asbestos within 90 days of initial shipment.

Receipt of these certificates will be required for final payment.
