Soil and groundwater samples must be tested for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX), total petroleum hydrocarbons-diesel range organics (TPH-DRO), and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The USTs and associated piping must be removed and triple rinsed with water. Rinse water must be containerized (in drums or a tank) and analytical testing conducted by a certified Georgia laboratory, so the product can be correctly coded/classified on a Non-hazardous Manifest signed by an authorized representative from the Installation DPW Environmental Division. Disposal of materials (soil/rinseate) must be coordinated with the Installation DPW Environmental Division. See 1.0 for Recycling of cut up tank.

4.3 REQURED SUBMITTAL ITEM: Contractor shall provide (a) 24- hour notice and a POC / telephone number prior to UST removal activities to allow time for Installation DPW Environmental Division representation at the site during the time the tank(s) is being removed from the ground.

10 Stormwater / Erosion and Sedimentation Control (E&S) Requirements

10.1 Requirements for Sites with Soil Disturbance Greater Than 0.75 Acres

10.1.1 A Notice of Intent (NOI) for coverage under the Georgia National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit must be applied for through the DPW Environmental Office Stormwater POC (Russell Moncrief at 912- 767-0271). The land disturbance calculation must include project entrances /exits, material lay down areas, equipment storage areas, soil stockpile, fill, and muck out areas. The NOI package has a mandatory 14-day waiting period once mailed to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD).

Land disturbing activities cannot occur until the 14-day waiting period has ended. The NOI package includes an Erosion & Sedimentation and Pollution Control (ESPC) Plan, fees in the amount of $80/acre, the fee form, and the NOI application. In addition to meeting those requirements under the Georgia Erosion and Sedimentation Control Act, the contractor must also follow Federal and local E&S control regulations. A summary of the applicable stormwater / E&S requirements are provided below:

10.1.1.1 E&S Control Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be identified in the ESPC Plan and must be utilized by the contractor. The ESPC Plan will include those requirements identified in the “Green Book” (Manual for Erosion & Sedimentation Control for the State of Georgia), the Coastal Stormwater Supplement, the Energy Independence and Security Act Section 438, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Technical Guidance (EPA 841-B-09-001 December 2009), the United Facilities Criteria (UFC) Manual for Low Impact Design, and those additional applicable Federal and local requirements found at the following web link:

http://www.stewart.army.mil/info/?id=443&p=1 and a summary of how these materials apply is provided in the three sub-bullets below. Reference DPW Stormwater Management Policy Letter #11 and the USACE Hydrology and Low Impact Development site: https://mrsi.erdc.dren.mil/sustain/cx/lid is used to house official documents, planning and design tools for use in development of Army projects. Army LID implementation will be accomplished using Army LID guidance "Army Stormwater Management Using Low Impact Development" (this document), the Army Low Impact Development Technical User Guide (see Best Practices section of the mrsi site), and the Army's LID Planning Tool and LID Cost Planning Tool (see Design Tools section of Army Stormwater Management Using Low Impact Development the mrsi site).

10.1.1.2 The ESPC Plan must also include flow calculations demonstrating concentrated runoff flows from peak rain events will not impact (a) any existing stream, (b) upstream systems and (c) downstream systems of the site as required for Total Maximum Daily Loads to maintain water quality standards by the removal of any potential pollutants.

10.1.1.3 When preparing the ESPC Plan, refer to the following web link:

http://www.stewart.army.mil/info/?id=443&p=1 for a copy of two Installation Policies (#10 and #11) that require engineers / proponents to take a more holistic approach to stormwater management of individual construction projects. Specifically, engineers must use Low Impact Development (LID) and Green Infrastructure (GI) stormwater control practices along with water quantity management practices found in the Georgia Stormwater Management Manual and the Coastal Stormwater Supplement. This is necessary to completely satisfy aquatic resource protection, overbank flood protection, and extreme flood protection which are criterion found in these documents for post-construction BMPs. In addition, it is required the utilization of the following guidance at the following site for DoD facilities:

https://mrsi.erdc.dren.mil/sustain/cx/lid

10.1.2 Dry detention basins must be located downstream of other LID/GI structural controls. Hydraulic considerations are necessary to ensure dry detention basins are sized to store the entire water quality design volume or have adequate structural controls to meet the minimum criteria for a 1-year, 24-hour storm event. PLEASE NOTE: Wet retention ponds are not a BMP option for FSGA/HAAF; reference DPW Policy Letter #10.

10.1.3 Site dewatering requires prior approval from the Environmental Office.

10.1.4 The site operator for the proposed action is required to continuously maintain all BMPs through the duration of site disturbing activities (regardless of NOI requirement). In order for the Army to accept the project as complete, the site must be stabilized to prevent silts and sediments from leaving the construction site. The Installation, through its Contracting Officer Representative, NRCS, and the DPW Environmental Office, must agree that the project site meets necessary site stabilization parameters as required by the State of Georgia prior to project acceptance by the Army.

10.1.5 At a minimum, a Level 1A E&S Control Certified individual must be on the site during any land disturbance activity in the State of Georgia.

10.1.6 Cross drainage facilities that transport stormwater runoff under roadways must meet the 25- to 100-year design storm, or be in accordance with GA Department of Transportation requirements, whichever is more stringent.

The design must ensure that the structure(s) will not impact any facilities upstream or downstream during heavy rain events. Culverts, bridges, and/or roadway drainage structures require bank stabilization to prevent erosion during rain events.

10.1.7 Equipment cleanout (brushes, rollers, spray guns/lines, etc.) must occur in designated areas (sink basins or washracks which discharge to sanitary or industrial wastewater treatment plants) and must not discharge to the stormwater conveyance system. Ensure all washouts of trucks and equipment is controlled and is discharged with adequate E&S control BMPs.

10.1.8 Ensure proper drip pans and secondary containment are utilized for staging, storing, loading, fueling, maintenance, repairs, etc.

10.1.9 Place all fuel storage tanks within plastic lined earthen berms, drive-on, or drive-over containment. The containment area must have a minimum capacity of 110% of the fuel storage tanks capacity for spill prevention, and to capture incidental spills.

10.2 Requirements for Sites with Soil Disturbance Less Than 0.75 Acres

10.2.1 An NOI for coverage under the Georgia NPDES will not be necessary. The following requirements still apply:

10.2.2 The site operator must utilize and implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) in accordance with the “Green Book” (Manual for Erosion & Sedimentation Control for the State of Georgia-most current edition).

10.2.3 Site dewatering requires prior approval from the Installation Environmental Office.

10.2.4 The site operator is required to continuously maintain all BMPs through the duration of site disturbing activities (regardless of NOI requirement). In order for the Army to accept the project as complete, the site must be stabilized to prevent silts and sediments from leaving the construction site.

The Installation, through its Contracting Officer Representative, NRCS, and the DPW Environmental Office, must agree that the project site meets necessary site stabilization parameters as required by the State of Georgia prior to project acceptance by the Army.
