RECORD OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION (REC)

This REC was prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 32 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 651, and Army Regulation (AR) 200-1. The analysis documented in Section 4 is based on the description of the proposed action in Section 2 and any deviation from this description will require re-evaluation by the Installation Environmental Office prior to this action’s implementation.

1. PROJECT TITLE: Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Bridge Contract on Fort Stewart (FSGA) and

Hunter Army Airfield (HAAF), Georgia (GA), IJO#s WG 00300-2J and ED 00302-2J (Tab 1).

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ACTION: The U.S. Army proposes to implement an IDIQ contract by which it will ensure timely maintenance and repairs of the bridges on the installation for the next calendar year (CY) (2023). The purpose of this action is to maintain bridges in accordance with current military standards. If bridges are not maintained in this manner, damage may ultimately result in bridge closure, impacting implementation of the mission on FSGA/HAAF. Bridges have been inspected and deficiencies identified, although no site-specific scope of work (SOW) per bridge was available at the time of this review and REC.

Once the IDIQ contract is awarded, the FSGA/HAAF Design Branch will develop a SOW for each bridge and will issue an individual delivery order for each site (via the FSGA/HAAF IJO process). At that time, the FSGA/HAAF Environmental Office will review each SOW and identify what additional site-specific requirements apply for that bridge, to include Clean Water Act (CWA) permitting, coordination/consultation for National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) compliance, and others, as required (see comments at Section

4.0 of this REC). If supplemental NEPA is required, it will be completed at that time.

3. ANTICIPATED DATE OF ACTION: CY 2023

4. CONSIDERATIONS OF THE PROPOSED ACTION: The enclosure (Tab 2, Attachment A) contains standard environmental compliance measures for work implemented on Installation lands. Those sections specifically applicable to this action are identified and discussed below.

a. Wetlands: A review of the SOW for each individual bridge will occur as it is developed, and this will be used to determine if a CWA permit (nationwide or individual) is required. The Project POC is responsible for ensuring for this coordination occurs. The Wetlands program POC is Kevin Montano at (912) 767-2010 or (912) 767-4937.

b. Cultural Resources Management (CRM): A review of the individual SOW for each bridge will as it is developed, and this will determine if there are Section 106 NHPA consultation requirements, and consultation will occur at that time. The Project POC is responsible for ensuring this coordination occurs. There are no CRM concerns with the Contract, as written. The CRM POC is Brian Greer,

(912) 767 2010 or (912) 767-0992.

c. Stormwater/Erosion and Sedimentation (E&S): These projects typically involve land disturbing activity of less than 0.75 acres and a Notice of Intent (NOI) is not required; however, NOI requirements will be confirmed as each individual SOW is reviewed and any project that falls outside of existing right of ways must be reviewed by the Stormwater POC prior to any work being performed.

Erosion & Sedimentation Control Best Management Practices (BMPs) must be incorporated and utilized for any land disturbance. Contact the Stormwater POC for recommendations regarding implementation of BMPs, and temporary and/or permanent stabilization controls.

Per the Georgia Erosion and Sedimentation Act of 1975, an individual certified at Erosion & Sedimentation Level 1A, or greater, must be on the site during ANY land disturbing activity within 200 feet of Waters of the State. This requirement applies to all of these actions.

Any waste material and/or debris must be disposed of properly as required by law, and these actions must not discharge into streams, ditches, or other stormwater conveyance systems. The projects will create less than 5,000 square feet (sf) of new impervious surface and will disturb less than 5,000 sf of soil; therefore, the Coastal Stormwater Supplement and Energy Independence Security Act requirements do not apply to this project.

PROJECT TITLE: Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Bridge Contract on Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield, Georgia, IJO#s WG 00300-2J and ED 00302-2J.

The projects on FSGA are located outside of the 100-year floodplain; however, the work proposed at Bridges 1, 8650, and 8701 are located within the 100-year floodplain and BMPs specific to protecting and minimizing adverse impacts to this sensitive resource will be identified as part of the site-specific scope of work for those locations (Maps, Tab 3).

The FSGA/HAAF Waste Management & Recycling POC is available to provide guidance, as needed.

Waste materials not suitable for reuse, but having value as a recyclable material, shall be recycled.

All fluorescent lamps, HID lamps, and mercury-containing thermostats removed from the site shall be recycled. Arrange for timely pickups from the site or deliveries to recycling facilities in order to prevent contamination of recyclable materials at intervals approved by the COR or DPW Engineering POC, as applicable, and the FSGA/HAAF Waste Management & Recycling POC.

Equipment that is/are not reusable but have value as recyclable materials (e.g., Chillers, Pumps, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) units that have had any and all Freon certified as removed from the system, as applicable) shall be logged on an applicable inventory/certification document prior to turn-in to the FSGA Metal Yard or HAAF Recycling Center (on DD Form 1348).

The form will be used to track the removal of units from facilities, refrigerant removal certification (if applicable), and a chain of custody from removal technician thru supply manager to recycling technician. The serial number and facility number shall be listed on each form and one form may contain more than one like item. Recycling personnel will verify items turned in match the document delivered, sign the document, and retain a file copy. The Contractor/Subcontractor, unit, activity, etc., shall submit this form to the COR or DPW Engineering POC and the FSGA/HAAF Waste Management & Recycling POC.

3.2.2 Containers. Collection containers, bins and storage areas shall be furnished and be clearly and appropriately identified to facilitate effective waste management during the duration of the project or activity. Recyclable material storage areas shall have barriers and enclosures installed around the storage areas which are nonhazardous, and recyclable or reusable. Containers shall be conveniently located for staff that is out of the way of construction traffic and that has adequate space for servicing pick-up and delivery. Recycling and waste bin areas are to be kept neat and clean, and recyclable materials shall be handled to prevent contamination of materials from incompatible products and materials. To the maximum extent practical, clean contaminated materials prior to placing in collection containers. Use cleaning materials that are nonhazardous and biodegradable. Handle hazardous waste and hazardous materials in accordance with applicable regulations.

3.2.3 Separate materials by one of the following methods:

a) Source Separated Method. Waste products and materials that are recyclable shall be separated from trash and sorted as described below into appropriately marked separate containers and then transported to the respective recycling facility for further processing.

b) Co-Mingled Method. Waste products and recyclable materials shall be placed into a single container and then transported to a recycling facility where the recyclable materials are sorted and processed.

c) Other Methods. Other proposed methods may be used when approved by the COR or DPW Engineering POC, as applicable, and the FSGA/HAAF Waste Management & Recycling POC.

3.2.4 Disposal. Control accumulation of waste materials and trash. Materials with no practical use or economic benefit shall be disposed at an off-post landfill or incinerator in compliance with all applicable Waste Management regulations for transportation and disposal and at intervals approved by the COR or DPW Engineering POC, as applicable, and the FSGA/HAAF Waste Management & Recycling POC.

3.2.5 Reuse. Prior to disposal, materials shall first be considered to salvage for reuse since little or no re-processing is necessary for this method, and less pollution is created when items are reused in their original form. Coordinate reuse with the COR or DPW Engineering POC and the FSGA/HAAF Waste Management & Recycling POC.

3.2.6 Return. Materials that are misdelivered and substandard shall not be disposed. They shall be set aside, protected, and returned to supplier for credit.
