• The following setbacks are required: 100-ft setback from anadromous streams; 85-ft setback from headwaters and tributaries of anadromous streams; 65-ft setback from all other waters.

• Do not disturb eagles: Eagles are protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Maintain disturbance buffers of 660 feet around active eagle nests. Do not disturb nesting birds – nesting birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

Minimize vegetation clearing from May 1 –July 15.

• Contact Avian Program Manager for assistance with wildlife/bird conflict issues.

• Contact Bat Program Manager if little brown bats or bat roosts discovered.

• BMPs to prevent the introduction and/or spread of invasive species are required.

• Construction housekeeping BMPs should be used to prevent wildlife attractants.

8 CULTURAL RESOURCES: CULTURAL RESOURCES: All projects must comply with the National Historic Preservation Act.

• This project must either have a NHPA Section 106 consultation letter on file with Environmental Conservation or qualify for an exemption, defined in the JBER Operations and Management Programmatic Agreement.

• If unanticipated cultural resources (cans, bottles, arrowheads, pottery, military items, papers, wooden artifacts, building remains, animal/human bone, etc...) are encountered during ground disturbing activities, work must stop within 100 ft. of the find. Contact Environmental Conservation (384-3467) or Conservation Law Enforcement (552-8609) to review the discovery in accordance with 36 CFR 800.13.

Disturbing or collecting artifacts on federal land is a violation of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA) and is punishable by fines and incarceration.

9 WATER QUALITY: A Construction General Permit (CGP) and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) are required for all ground-disturbing activities (e.g., construction, demolition, and certain land clearing activities) that disturb 1 or more acres of land. Prior to submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI) to the AK Department of Environmental Conservation, the construction operator shall submit their SWPPP to the 673 CES/CEIEC Water Quality Program Manager for review. For ground-disturbing projects within JBER’s Urbanized Area that are less than 1 acre in size, the construction operator is responsible for developing and following an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP). All ESCPs must be submitted to the 673 CES/CEIEC Water Quality Program Manager for review prior to commencing construction.

Projects within JBER’s Urbanized Area must also comply with Section 438 of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA), which states that federal development and redevelopment projects must reduce storm water runoff by implementing green infrastructure/low impact development practices (GI/LID).

To request a copy of JBER’s GI/LID Plan or an ESCP template, visit JBER’s Water Quality website or contact the 673 CES/CEIEC Water Quality Program Manager.

10 ASBESTOS: An asbestos inspection is REQUIRED for all renovation and demolition projects

(40 CFR 61, Subpart M). Contractors shall brief all employees including subcontractors that JBER facilities contain asbestos containing materials (ACM) unless otherwise directed. A copy of the EPA Region 10 notification and waste shipment record must be provided to JBER Environmental Management. ACM shall be managed and disposed of IAW 40 CFR 61 Subpart M, 29 CFR 1910.1001, and 29 CFR 1926.1101, as applicable.

When required, the contractor will file, with EPA Region 10 and JBER Environmental Management, the 5-day notification for lead work. The notification(s) will be sent to both offices simultaneously. Lead containing materials may be considered hazardous waste and will need to be tested to determine proper disposal method.

12 AIR QUALITY: The contractor must take measures to control fugitive emissions (dust particles, aerosols, and gaseous by-products) from construction and demolition activities, processing, and preparation of materials always. Methods for controlling fugitive dust emissions include reducing speed limits, applying water to areas where bare mineral soil is exposed, and using guards at the entrance of construction sites. Open burning without the consent of the COR, Fire & Emergency Services, and Air Quality Program Manager is strictly prohibited.

Replacement or installation of new emission sources must be coordinated through the Air Program Manager, 907-384-1361 or 673CES.CEIEC.EnvCom@us.af.mil prior to purchase of said equipment.

Equipment containing refrigerants identified by DoD for retention in the strategic reserve must be turned in to DLA for recovery, not taken off base. For real property identified equipment (RPIE) where refrigerant is not purged due to reuse of the equipment, coordination with 773 CES/CEO (HVAC Shop) is required to properly track certified equipment. Complete a Service Order Form for equipment evacuated on base and submit to HVAC Shop. For refrigerant containing equipment that is not designated as real property or RPIE, unit is responsible for having the equipment serviced and/or purged of refrigerant prior to disposal.
