Contractor shall have available refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment and personnel certified to operate said equipment. All reclaimed refrigerant and halon shall be disposed of through an approved reclamation center or be properly reused on the project (in some cases specific CFCs and halons remain the property of the government and must be returned to the Defense Logistics Agency CFC/Halon Bank). Proof of proper disposal shall be provided to the CO and 316th CES/CEA.

2.2.2.8. Contractors performing work on facility Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) equipment shall coordinate with the 316th CES/CEO HVAC Shop (through the CO) to provide required information on service performed and the amount and type of refrigerant disposed of.

2.3. WATER RESOURCES

2.3.1. DESIGN FOR STORM WATER MANAGEMENT. For projects requiring post-construction storm water management, the contractor will, at a minimum comply with the current edition of Maryland Stormwater Management Guidelines for State & Federal Projects and the Maryland Stormwater Design Manual, Volumes I & II. The contractor may use other storm water management techniques as long as they comply with Maryland laws and regulations. To this end, the contractor is encouraged to integrate comprehensive environmental site design methods into the process when designing storm water controls.

2.3.1.1. The Contractor will make the use of non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) the first priority when designing storm water management controls. The contractor may use structural BMPs only after all practical non-structural options are exhausted. If the contractor bypasses non-structural BMPs for structural BMPs, the contractor will explain the reasoning for this choice in the design summary to the government. Exposed storm water management ponds, especially ones that contain standing water, are to be used only as a last resort and not at all within the confines of the airfield or flight paths.

2.3.1.2. The contractor will evaluate the impacts to the overall watershed resulting from the planned construction project and any storm water controls. The contractor will include in this evaluation the impacts of other planned projects in the same watershed that combined may cause synergistic storm water issues beyond the contractors’ own project. If this evaluation uncovers consequences outside of the contractor’s scope of work, the contractor will notify the CO of these issues in the design summary.

2.3.2. EXISTING GOVERNMENT STORM WATER RESOURCES. The contractor will refer, as applicable, to the current version of the following base plans when designing post-construction storm water management for projects:

· JBA General Plan

· JBA Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)

· JBA Storm Water Institutional Management Plan (IMP)

· JBA Wetlands Delineation

· JBA Floodplain Analysis

· Andrews Oil-Water Separator Management Plan

· JBA Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan

2.3.3. STORMWATER PERMITS. The contractor shall prepare a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) discharge permit application prior to the start of construction activities IAW Maryland State law and regulation, currently projects with a limit of disturbance greater than 1 acre. Presently, turnaround times are estimated at 6 weeks to 3 months; however turnaround times will vary depending on the scope of the project. The Contractor must retain the services of a MDE-approved permit expediter in order to assist in obtaining this permit. The permit application shall be submitted to the COR and the 316th CES/CEA concurrently prior to submission to the MDE. The Contractor shall obtain the approved permit from MDE and make all necessary notifications before construction start. A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) must be developed and maintained in accordance with the permit. Weekly inspections of storm water management and sediment and erosion controls must be performed and documented. A copy of the permit, the SWPPP, inspection records and all other applicable documents shall be maintained at the job site or a centralized and accessible location.

2.3.3.1. In the event MDE issues a General Storm water Permit for Construction Activities, the Contractor will submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) for coverage under the General Permit for projects with a limit of disturbance greater than 1 acre. The NOI shall be submitted to the COR and the 316th CES/CEA concurrently prior to submission to the MDE. The Contractor shall obtain the approved NOI from MDE and make all necessary notifications before construction start. A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) must be developed and maintained in accordance with the general permit. Weekly inspections of storm water management and sediment and erosion controls must be performed and documented. A copy of the NOI, the Maryland General Storm water Permit for Construction Activities, the SWPPP, inspection records and all other applicable documents shall be maintained at the job site or a centralized and accessible location.

2.3.4. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLANS. The contractor shall prepare and submit a storm water management plan for all projects that exceed 5,000 square feet in size. The plans shall be coordinated with the 316th CES/CEA through the CO prior to submission to the MDE. The contractor shall comply with the conditions set forth in the plan/approval.

2.3.5. SEDIMENTATION AND EROSION CONTROL PLANS. The contractor shall prepare a sedimentation and erosion control plan for all projects that exceed 5,000 square feet or more than 100 cubic yards of soil. The plans shall be coordinated with the CO and 316th CES/CEA before submission to the MDE. The contractor shall comply with the conditions set forth in the plan/approval.

2.3.6. SEDIMENTATION AND EROSION CONTROL PROTECTION. The contractor shall implement and maintain all necessary controls to prevent sedimentation runoff to storm water for all…
