• To avoid damage to ERP equipment and infrastructure, maintain a 10 ft buffer around them.
• If change and/or damage to ERP equipment and infrastructure occurs during your project activities, the proponent/contractor are responsible to re-establish and/or repair them by accredited ERP subcontractor within the time frame agreed upon with ERP Manager.
• Any wells that will be in the new concrete pad area will need to have the completions changed.
• If they are currently above ground, they will need to be converted to flush mount.
• If they are currently flush mount, they will need to be adjusted so that they are flush with the new concrete pad surface.
• For any wells that will be in the new concrete pad area, please place Conex in accordance with item 2.
• The ERP well relocation and/or abandonment would entail an agreement with regulators prior to any actions taking place. ERP well relocation/abandonment would be done at project’s/proponent’s expense and may take a minimum of six months.
• For the ERP treatment systems (green dotted lines on ERP Maps) seem underneath the new concrete pad (on attached concrete pad diagram), please re-design/draw the boundary of new concrete pad in accordance with item 2 if not already done so.
• If the proponent/contractor encounter soil contamination, contaminated soil must be containerized and sampled. Containers can be left on site if proper labeling instructions are followed. The soil must be sampled prior to an application for off‐site disposal. The proponent/contractor shall have all documentation, disposal facility profiles, and shipping paper review by the Environmental Management Hazardous Waste staff prior to shipment of the waste. For more information and proper handling guidance, please contact 412 CEG/CEVC’s contractor at (661) 277‐3681 or 412 CEG/CEVC at 277‐1885.

The proponent/contractor shall coordinate the permit. Contact 412 CEG/CEVC at (661) 277-1909 for specific requirements.
39. Confirmation samples are required prior to discharge to ensure water is not an industrial wastewater.
Samples shall include sediment and constituents for characterization (pH, metals, SVOC, TPH, etc.)
Contact Environmental Management at (661) 277-1909 or 412CEG.CEVC.WastewaterPOLTanks@us.af.mil for sample scheduling.
40. The catch tank water shall be discharged at a rate not to exceed 30-gallons per minute. Further, such water discharge shall be slow enough that soil erosion will be minimized to the maximum extent possible.
41. Should potable water become contaminated, Environmental Management shall be contacted to acquire samples of the water and a wastewater discharge permit shall be initiated and approved prior to continuing any discharge.
42. The overall design objective for each project is to maintain predevelopment hydrology and prevent any net increase in storm water runoff. DoD defines “predevelopment hydrology” as the pre-project hydrologic conditions of temperature, rate, volume, and duration of storm water flow from the project site. The analysis of the predevelopment hydrology must include site-specific factors (such as soil type, ground cover, and ground slope) and use modeling or other recognized tools to establish the design objective for the water volume to be managed from the project site. Contact Environmental Management at (661) 277-1909 or 412CEG.CEVC.WastewaterPOLTanks@us.af.mil for more information.
43. Project site design options shall be evaluated to achieve the design objective to the maximum extent technically feasible. The “maximum extent technically feasible” criterion requires full employment of accepted and reasonable storm water retention and reuse technologies (e.g., bio-retention areas, permeable pavements, cisterns/recycling, and green roofs), subject to site and applicable regulatory constraints (e.g., site size, soil types, vegetation, demand for recycled water, existing structural limitations, state or local prohibitions on water collection). All site-specific technical constraints that limit the full attainment of the design objective shall be documented. If the design objective cannot be met within the project footprint, LID measures may be applied at nearby locations on DoD property (e.g., downstream from the project) within available resources. Contact Environmental Management at (661) 277-1909 or 412CEG.CEVC.WastewaterPOLTanks@us.af.mil for more information.
44. Prior to finalizing the design for a redevelopment project, DoD Components shall also consider whether natural hydrological conditions of the property can be restored, to the extent practical. Contact Environmental Management at (661) 277-1909 or 412CEG.CEVC.WastewaterPOLTanks@us.af.mil for more information.

Final implementation costs will be documented as part of the project historical file. Post-construction analysis shall also be conducted to validate the effectiveness of as-built storm water features. Contact Environmental Management at (661) 277-1909 or 412CEG.CEVC.WastewaterPOLTanks@us.af.mil for more information.
46. Proponent/contractor shall provide appropriate secondary containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment to prevent a discharge. The entire containment system, including walls and floor, must be capable of containing oil; constructed so that any discharge from a primary containment system, such as a tank or pipe, will not escape the containment system before cleanup occurs. Appropriate containment should be designed to address the most likely discharge from the primary containment. Examples of appropriate containment would be double-wall tanking and pipes, dikes, retaining walls, drivable berms, concrete or asphalt apron surrounded by a concrete curb, directed flow to collection points for recovery, weirs, and booms.
• Mobile or portable oil containers (i.e., refuelers, etc.) are exempt from sized secondary containment.
