As required by AWWU Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit #11 (JBER AWWU Permit), JBER’s Industrial Wastewater Management Plan describes how activities are managed at JBER to minimize the chance of discharging toxic and/or hazardous pollutants into the municipal sewer system.

6.2.1. The Contractor shall prevent the discharge of any substance that may upset or degrade the municipal sewer system, cause health or safety problems, or exceed JBER AWWU Permit effluent limits. The Contractor shall submit an RFI to the CO to obtain a copy of the JBER AWWU Permit. The CO shall work with the JBER Water Quality Program Manager to obtain a copy of the current permit issued to JBER at the time of task order award and will provide it to the Contractor. The primary applicable regulations that help ensure JBER’s wastewater discharges comply with the permit requirements are:

a. 40 CFR 112 – Oil Pollution Prevention, (2015)

b. 40 CFR 403 – Pretreatment Standards.

c. 18 AAC 75 – Oil and Other Hazardous Substances Pollution Control

d. AMC 26.50.200 – Sewer Service Wastewater Discharge Permits

6.2.2. Notifications: The Contractor shall immediately notify the CO, Construction Inspector, and

JBER Water Quality Program Manager of a discharge in the following situations to meet the reporting requirements within the specified time frames stipulated in the JBER Industrial Wastewater Permit issued by AWWU:

a. Prior Notification: At least 24-hour advanced notification to AWWU required for AFFF discharges for scheduled, routine testing of AFFF systems. Immediate notification required for unscheduled discharge of AFFF.

b. Immediate Notification: Any discharge to the sewer system of substances prohibited by Anchorage Municipal Code (AMC) 26.50.050, or which may endanger public health.

c. Immediate Notification: Any spill of material prohibited by AMC 26.50.050 or slug discharge which may enter the sanitary sewer system. Slug discharges are defined as any substance released at a rate or concentration that could cause a violation of the discharge standards, or any discharge of a non-routine, episodic nature. Slug

JBER Environmental Specifications v18Feb2026 Page 13 of 58 discharges include, but are not limited to, accidental spills or a non-customary batch discharge.
