PART 2 EXECUTION

2.1 DISPOSAL OF WASTE/EXCESS MATERIAL

2.1.1 General: The Contractor shall take a proactive, responsible role in the management of non-hazardous solid waste and require all subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers to participate in the effort. Non-hazardous Solid Waste, as defined in Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 261.2, dispositioned for disposal shall be removed from the base in accordance with all Federal, State of Georgia, and local codes and requirements. Every effort shall be made to segregate individual waste streams and divert waste from any landfill by reusing or recycling materials. Direct all non-hazardous solid waste inquiries to 78 CEG/CEIEC Solid Waste Program Manager, (478) 327-9283.

2.1.2 Solid Waste Handling: All persons engaged in solid waste handling, including solid waste collection and transportation, or operations of solid waste handling facilities or disposal sites, shall have a solid waste handling permit or permit by rule letter. The provisions of Georgia Environmental Protection Division (GA EPD) regulations concerning proper handling of solid waste and applicable prohibitions shall govern. All materials and equipment not turned in to the Government is considered property of the contractor and must be properly removed by the end of the project.

2.1.3 Solid Waste Disposal: Use one or more of the following methods to divert/dispose of non-hazardous solid waste. All materials to be disposed of in other than a sanitary landfill must be kept segregated at the project site from those materials which are allowed only in a sanitary landfill.

a. Reuse (diversion): First consideration of waste shall be given to salvage for reuse to be used in the original form. Sale or donation of waste suitable for reuse shall be considered. Salvaged materials shall not be used in this project unless approved by the CO. Materials defined as “recovered materials” are excluded from regulation as solid wastes.

b. Recycling (diversion): Waste material not suitable for reuse but having value as a recyclable material shall be recycled by the Government, whenever practical and economically feasible. Materials destined for recycling must meet the definition of non-hazardous wastes under federal/state solid waste regulations. Recyclable metal materials shall remain the property of the government and be recycled through the Robins AFB Qualified Recycling Program (QRP). To coordinate removal/collection of scrap wire and metal, please contact QRP Manager/Operations Manager Darryl Mercer at (478) 327-3976 or the Scrap Metal Yard Manager John Carter at (478) 283-6542.

c. Sanitary Landfill (disposal): All solid waste may be disposed of in a sanitary landfill properly licensed by the State of Georgia. Provide proof that any Georgia municipal solid waste disposal facility receiving Robins AFB waste is operated by someone who has obtained the certification required by the Georgia Solid Waste Management Act, O.C.G.A. 12-8-24.1. If a landfill other than Houston County Landfill is used, provide a copy of the landfill license.

i. If the presence of lead based paint, asbestos, or other hazardous materials are suspected, an analysis of the suspected material shall be performed by a certified lab approved by the State. If the Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) results for lead are greater than 5 mg/L, the waste shall be disposed of as hazardous waste in a Subtitle C permitted facility--not a Subtitle D permitted facility such as the Houston County Landfill. If the lab analysis for asbestos is positive, the permission for landfill disposal is required and waste must be dispositioned through the Special Waste Acceptance Application (SWAA) process. Houston County Landfill currently does not require a SWAA if there is no presence of lead based paint, asbestos, or other non-hazardous Special Waste or hazardous materials suspected.

ii. SWAA Process: The results of the tests/lab analysis as well as the completed top and middle portion of the SWAA must be submitted to 78 CEG/CEIEC Solid Waste Program Manager for approval and signature. The 78 CEG/CEIEC Solid Waste Program Manager will be the signing authority as the generator on the SWAA form. 78 CEG/CEIEC will email the completed form to the County’s landfill consultant for disposal acceptance/approval and for issuance of Special Waste Profile Number. The Special Waste Profile Number must be used on the Waste Shipment Tracking Document. The Waste Shipment Tracking Document and SWAA are both attached at the end of the document. Allow a minimum of three working days for 78 CEG/CEIEC to process the SWAA form and to obtain the profile number. The 78 CEG/CEIEC Solid Waste Program Manager will issue the completed SWAA back to the contractor via email. The Contractor must certify that no hazardous waste was introduced into the waste while in their custody. The contractor must provide a Waste Shipment Tracking Document with each disposal load when required by Houston County. These forms must also be included in contract documents.

d. Inert Waste Landfill (disposal): Materials not likely to cause production of leachate of environmental concern may be disposed of in an inert waste landfill. Only earth and earth-like products, concrete, cured asphalt concrete, rock, bricks, yard trimmings, and land clearing debris such as stumps, limbs, and leaves are acceptable for disposal in an inert waste landfill. A copy of the written notice of commencement of operation by the landfill as given to the GA EPD and a copy of the landfill license or permit by rule letter issued by the GA EPD must be provided to the Base Engineering Division (78 CEG/CEN) Project Manager and maintained in the contract documents. The weights of inert waste disposed in the landfill must be documented in the monthly waste management report, provided to the 78 CEG/CEN Project Manager, and then forwarded to the 78 CEG/CEIEC Solid Waste Program Manager.

e. Construction/Demolition Disposal Site (disposal): Materials will be recycled where practical. Recyclable metal materials (scrap metal, wire, motors, etc.) shall remain the property of the government and will be recycled through the Robins AFB QRP. To coordinate removal/collection of scrap metal materials, please contact QRP Manager/Operations Manager Darryl Mercer at (478) 327-3976 or the Scrap Metal Yard Manager John Carter at (478) 283-6542.

f. Other construction and demolition (C&D) waste that are included in the Base Qualified Recycling Program, including but not limited to wood, paper, used oil, cardboard must be recycled through the base recycling program. Recycling wastes that are recyclable, but not included in the Base Qualified Recycling Program, including but not limited to concrete, asphalt, etc are encouraged to be recycled by the Contractor. Materials that can go in an inert waste landfill may be recycled according the rules of the State of Georgia, disposed of in an inert landfill, or lastly in the landfill. If the wastes are being disposed of at a landfill other than the Houston County Landfill, provide the landfill license to the 78 CEG/CEN Project Manager. Refer to Section 2.1.4 regarding proper reporting of disposal and recycling (weights). For construction and demolition wastes, a minimum of 60 percent by weight of the total project solid waste shall be diverted from the landfill.

g. Solid Waste Disposal Outside of Georgia: No solid waste can be disposed of outside the state of Georgia without prior written approval of the CO. The contractor shall provide sufficient information as determined by the CO to allow verification of compliance with the law.

2.1.4 Reporting of Disposal and Recycling: Robins AFB is required to report the amount (weight) of solid waste and C&D debris which is dispositioned by reuse, recycle, or disposal. Each month, the Contractor shall record the amounts of reused, recycled, and disposed materials on the Waste Management Report (attached at the end of the document). Weights shall be cumulative from the start of each month and shall reflect the total amount of material disposed or recycled during the month. The report should reflect the method of disposal for the material generated from the project. Weights of material disposed of in a sanitary or C&D landfill shall be reported based on the weight tickets. Material disposed of in other types of landfills, which do not have weight scales, may be estimated. The weight of materials reused and or recycled may be estimated. Use a good faith effort to obtain the most accurate estimate possible. The Contractor shall also provide the cost to landfill or divert/recycle the C&D debris on the Waste Management Report. A copy of the Waste Management Report shall be turned in to the 78 CEG/CEN Project Manager by the 5th of the following month and prior to final payment. The 78 CEG/CEN Project Manager shall forward the Waste Management Report to the 78 CEG/CEIEC Solid Waste Program Manager. If there are any questions, the Solid Waste Program Manager contact information is:

2.2 SPECIAL WASTES OR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

2.2.1 General: The Contractor must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local requirements concerning use of hazardous materials and hazardous waste. If there should be a conflict between environmental regulation/ordinances/statues and the contract’s specifications, the contractor shall, in writing, contact the CO for a written determination. Disposal of all non-hazardous Special Wastes, such as asbestos, requires submittal of a SWAA to obtain a Profile Number for use on the Waste Shipment Tracking Document as described in 2.1.3.c.

2.2.2 Hazardous Waste: Hazardous Waste is defined as waste meeting the requirements of 40 CFR 261.3. 78 CEG/CEIER Hazardous Waste Program Manager makes all hazardous waste determinations for waste generated on Robins AFB. The Contractor must provide all data necessary to determine the regulatory status of waste to 78 CEG/CEIER. Activities requiring large quantities of disposal must be coordinated prior to beginning work in order to ensure a sufficient number of hazardous waste containers are available. The Contractor must ensure personnel have completed hazardous waste training prior to generating hazardous waste. All hazardous and universal wastes generated on Robins AFB must be disposed of through 78 CEG/CEIER at building 359. Direct all inquiries to the 78 CEG/CEIER Hazardous Waste Program Manager.

a. Paints, sealants, solvents, rags, or any other hazardous material(s) destined for disposal must be managed as a hazardous waste unless they have been determined not to be via Safety Data Sheet (SDS) or laboratory sampling. 78 CEG/CEIER is the only organization authorized to make a hazardous waste determination.

b. Waste generated from the project itself (e.g. lead-based paint removed from walls, contaminated soil, sludge from tank cleaning, etc.) must be turned-in to Building 359 for disposal.

c. High-intensity discharge (HID) and fluorescent lamps and tubes or switches containing mercury must be recycled as universal waste. Labeled containers must be requested through 78 CEG/CEIER at building 359 prior to job start.

d. Batteries used in emergency and exit lights that contain lead must be recycled. These batteries must be turned-in to building 359 with no cost for disposal.

e. Disposal Procedures for Hazardous and Universal Waste:

i. Payment for waste disposal will be made through the property/building organizations Department of Defense Activity Address Code (DODAAC) account. Since all regulated wastes must be disposed of through DLA-DS, a valid DODAAC is essential to prevent contract operation delays. This step must be completed prior to requesting waste containers and labels. Authorization to use the organizations DODAAC also indicates there are sufficient funds available to pay for waste disposal generated from the project.

ii. Obtain labels and containers prior to job start from building 359 and place the labels on containers suitable for shipping per Department of Transportation (DOT) guidelines. Fluorescent lamps/tubes may be placed in the original boxes the tubes came in or in boxes designed to prevent breakage. Take care not to break any universal waste lamps/tubes. If any are broken, they must be treated as spilled hazardous waste and turned-in to building 359 immediately.

NOTE: Rolloff boxes to contain waste for large projects must be requested at least 2 weeks in advance.

iii. Accumulate hazardous waste under either the satellite accumulation rules (<55 gallons total, no time limit, 3 day limit to turn-in full drums) or 90-day rules (no quantity limit, use up to 90 days in the field, other 40 CFR 262.17 requirements apply). Turn-in containers to building 359 when full or approaching time limit(s).

iv. The contractor is responsible for maintaining regulatory compliance for all regulated waste under their control. Responsibility for site compliance does not end until the waste is accepted by 78 CEG/CEIER for disposal.

v. Do not abandon waste at the job site.

2.2.3 Asbestos Containing Materials:

b. Asbestos Work/Removal: The Contractor shall provide a 10 working day notification to GA EPD prior to the start of any work involving asbestos. The Contractor will provide a written Asbestos Abatement Plan to the 78 CEG/CEN Project Manager and the 78 CEG Toxic Operations Officer for review and approval prior to start of work. The Asbestos Abatement Plan will include, at a minimum, the following:

i. Provide description of scope of work to be performed and the procedures that will be utilized to ensure compliance with all rules and regulations. Provide a copy of the asbestos training certificates for each employee that will be involved in the removal and handling of asbestos as well as the respiratory protection and medical surveillance program information. Additionally, copies of all notifications, GA EPD approval, and landfill disposal receipts and waste shipment tracking forms must be provided to the CO.

c. Building Demolition: Follow guidance above regarding notification procedures. This may also apply to the modification of a building, and is considered demolition when the removal of a load-bearing wall occurs. For more information, visit: http://epd.georgia.gov/asbestos-notification-requirements or coordinate with 78 CEG/CEIEC Solid Waste Program Manager or the 78 CEG/CEN Project Manager. The GA EPD Asbestos Abatement or Demolition Project Notification Form for asbestos renovation, encapsulation, or demolition can be at the website noted above.

d. Do not use any products containing asbestos.

e. Prior to the start of any demolition, renovation, or digging, determine if asbestos is in the area of construction. If there is no known asbestos in the project area, proceed as normal. If the contractor discovers any material suspected to be asbestos, bring it to the CO’s attention immediately. Stop all work in that area until directed to proceed.

i. Upon finding asbestos not written in the contract: If asbestos is in the area of construction, identify to the CO where it is located. There should not be any work performed in the area involving asbestos if it was not written in the contract. If any asbestos is accidentally damaged, notify the CO and the 78 CEG/CEOER Toxic Operations Officer at (478) 327-8518 immediately. After they inspect the damage, the contractor shall repair it and remove debris at no additional cost to the Government:

f. Special Waste Acceptance Application (SWAA) Process:

i. If asbestos wastes are generated from the project activities, a SWAA must be completed and approved by the landfill that will accepting waste for disposal. The permission for landfill disposal is required and waste must be dispositioned through the SWAA process. Houston County Landfill currently does not require a SWAA if there is no presence of lead based paint, asbestos, or other non-hazardous Special Waste or hazardous materials suspected.

ii. The 78 CEG/CEIEC Solid Waste Program Manager will coordinate the SWAA and be the signing authority as the generator on the SWAA form. 78 CEG/CEIEC will email the completed form to the County’s landfill consultant for disposal acceptance/approval and for issuance of Special Waste Profile Number. The Special Waste Profile Number must be used on the Waste Shipment Tracking Document. A template Waste Shipment Tracking Document and SWAA are both attached at the end of the document and must accompany all loads of asbestos waste to the landfill. Allow a minimum of three working days for 78 CEG/CEIEC to process the SWAA form and to obtain the profile number.

The plan must include a description of each activity in which lead is emitted. Additionally, provide certification that contractor personnel involved in removal and handling of lead based paint has received training in accordance with OSHA Lead Standards and medical surveillance program information, air monitoring data, and a schedule of implementation. At the end of the project, provide results of air sample testing to the CO to demonstrate worker safety.

c. For all projects, including but not limited to: Major Abatement projects; Housing or Childcare Facilities; Maintenance, Repair, and Minor Construction Projects: All painted surfaces, including painted surfaces covered by other materials such as wall paper, may contain varying levels of lead.

i. The disposal of all debris containing lead paint shall be handled as a hazardous waste until a determination has been made otherwise based on test results. If LBP is suspected in the waste generated from the project activities, an analysis of the suspected material shall be performed by a certified lab approved by the State. If the Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) results for lead are greater than 5 mg/L, the waste shall be disposed of as hazardous waste in a Subtitle C permitted facility--not a Subtitle D permitted facility such as the Houston County Landfill. The contractor may provide DOT approved drums or obtain waste drums from Bldg 359 and collect the waste in the drums. The drums shall be sealed, properly labeled with a hazardous waste labeled generated in Bldg 359, and turned in to the government for disposal.

ii. If test results for lead are less than 5 mg/L, but above 0.1 mg/L, a SWAA will need to be completed for these wastes. Any wastes that are contaminated or potentially hazardous will need to be profiled and have a completed SWAA.

iii. Houston County Landfill currently does not require a SWAA if there is no presence of lead based paint, asbestos, or other non-hazardous Special Waste or hazardous materials suspected.

d. SWAA Process: The results of the tests/lab analysis as well as the completed top and middle portion of the SWAA must be submitted to 78 CEG/CEIEC Solid Waste Program Manager for approval and signature. The 78 CEG/CEIEC Solid Waste Program Manager will be the signing authority as the generator on the SWAA form. 78 CEG/CEIEC will email the completed form to the County’s landfill consultant for disposal acceptance/approval and for issuance of Special Waste Profile Number. The Special Waste Profile Number must be used on the Waste Shipment Tracking Document. The Waste Shipment Tracking Document and SWAA are both attached at the end of the document. Allow a minimum of three working days for 78 CEG/CEIEC to process the SWAA form and to obtain the profile number. The 78 CEG/CEIEC Solid Waste Program Manager will issue the completed SWAA back to the contractor via email. The Contractor must certify that no hazardous waste was introduced into the waste while in their custody. The contractor must provide a Waste Shipment Tracking Document with each disposal load when required by Houston County. These forms must also be included in contract documents.

2.2.5 Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB): Do not use equipment or components containing PCB’s. This includes ballasts and capacitors for fluorescent and HID lighting.

a. Disposal Procedures for Fluorescent lighting ballasts and HID lighting capacitors containing PCB’s:

i. Fluorescent lighting ballasts and HID lighting capacitors must be managed and disposed of as toxic waste unless the label states they do not contain PCB’s. Ballasts and capacitors with no markings are assumed to contain PCB. Ballasts and capacitors marked as non-PCB are handled as standard solid waste.

ii. Gather HID capacitors and fluorescent ballasts into separate containers and place them into labeled, suitably sized DOT-approved containers per 49 CFR 173.202. (Typical sizes are 1, 5, 10, 30, and 55 gallons) Labels and containers may be obtained from Building 359, (478) 926-1176.

iii. If any are broken, they must be treated as spilled hazardous material. Contact 78 CEG/CEIER, (478) 926-1176 for disposal instructions.

iv. Dispose of sealed non-leaking capacitors through DLA-DS, (478) 926-5162. Do not keep any of the full or partially full containers at the construction site for more than 30 days. Provide DD Form 1348 obtained from building 359 prior to contacting DLA-DS for disposal.

b. Disposal Procedures for all other PCB containing materials, including but not limited to: plastics (such as plastic insulation from wire or cable; radio, television and computer casings; vehicle parts; or furniture laminates); preformed or molded rubber parts and components; applied dried paints, varnishes, waxes or other similar coatings or sealants; caulking; asbestos:

i. Prior to the start of any demolition, renovation, or digging, determine if PCB containing materials are in the area of construction. If the contractor discovers any material he/she suspects to contain PCBs, or if lab results indicate PCB-containing materials, the material shall be managed as PCB hazardous waste.

ii. Notify 78 CEG/CEIER Hazardous Waste Support at (478) 926-1176 that a project area contains PCB materials. Building 359 will provide the necessary containers for collection as well as a DD Form 1348 for completion.

iii. Upon completion of DD Form 1348, the containers will be picked up directly by DLA-DS. If DLA-DS is not available to pick up PCB containing materials, notify 78 CEG/CEIER Hazardous Waste Support at (478) 926-1176 for alternate disposal procedures.

iv. PCB waste will always be transported using a hazardous waste manifest which must be signed by a 78 CEG/CEIE representative. Payment for waste disposal will be made through a valid DODAAC account. This step must be completed prior to requesting waste containers and labels.

b. Class II ODS usage requires prior approval through the Air Force (AF) Form 3952 Authorization Process. [Air Force Instruction (AFI) 32-7086, Hazardous Materials Management]

i. Do not develop or modify any existing weapon or facility system scheduled to remain in the AF inventory beyond 1 January 2020 in any manner that requires or adds requirements for Class II ODS in their operations or maintenance.

ii. For exceptions to this Class II ODS policy, the requiring activity must receive SAO approval, using the same process as Class I ODS Contract approvals, or, for installation Real Property air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, the requiring activity must obtain approval authority from the Base Civil Engineer (BCE). [AFI 32-7086, Hazardous Materials Management]

iii. For the purposes of Air Force policy, the following products are Class II ODS:

Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs): HCFC-21, HCFC-22, HCFC-31, HCFC-121, HCFC-122, HCFC-123, HCFC-124, HCFC-131, HCFC-132, HCFC-133, HCFC-141b, HCFC-142b, HCFC-151, HCFC-221, HCFC-222, HCFC-223, HCFC-224, HCFC-225ca, HCFC-225cb, HCFC-226, HCFC-231, HCFC-232, HCFC-233, HCFC-234, HCFC-235, HCFC-241, HCFC-242, HCFC-243, HCFC-244, HCFC-251, HCFC-252, HCFC-253, HCFC-261, HCFC-262, HCFC-271 [AFI 32-7086, Hazardous Materials Management, Table 4.2]

2.2.7 Hazardous Materials (HazMat):

a. HazMat Definition: The term HazMat includes all items (including medical supply items, but excluding drugs in their finished form and pharmaceuticals in individually-issued items) covered under Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (or other federal, state, or local) tracking requirement, the OSHA Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) Standard, and all Class I and Class II ODS. It does not include munitions or hazardous waste.

b. HazMat Exceptions: The OSHA HAZCOM Standard [29 CFR 1910.1200(b)(6)(ix)] excludes “Any consumer product or hazardous substance, as those terms are defined in the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2051 et seq.) and Federal Hazardous Substances Act (15 U.S.C. 1261 et seq.) respectively, where the employer can show that it is used in the workplace for the purpose intended by the chemical manufacturer or importer of the product, and the use results in a duration and frequency of exposure which is not greater than the range of exposures that could reasonably be experienced by consumers when used for the purpose intended.” OSHA further states in a 14 April 2005 interpretation letter that office cleaning products utilized with the same frequency and duration as that of a normal consumer would fall under the HAZCOM Standard exemption for consumer products in 29 CFR 1910.1200(b)(6)(ix). Based on the OSHA HAZCOM Standard exemption, consumer products that are used at Robins AFB in such a way that the duration and frequency of use are the same as that of a consumer are not required to be included in the employer’s HAZCOM program. If unsure if the item meets the exemption, contact the HazMat Cell (78CEG.cev.hazmat@us.af.mil).

c. Lead Acid Batteries: OSHA determined that lead acid batteries are hazardous chemicals because of their potential chemical exposure risks and physical hazards. As a result, lead acid batteries are classified as HazMat and do not fall under the article exemption because they have the potential to leak, spill or break during normal conditions of use.

d. Aerosol Products: All aerosol products are classified as HazMat.

e. The storage and usage of all HazMat must be tracked in the Air Force Standardized Tracking System. If the contractor does not have access to a government-furnished computer and cannot access the Air Force Standardized Tracking System, the contractor must report data on the HazMat stored and used during the performance of the contract at a minimum of weekly to the HazMat Cell and in the format specified.
