1 INTRODUCTION

The Contractor Environmental Guide is provided to assist contractors to include suppliers, vendors, and others doing work on behalf of the Camp Murray in meeting federal, state, and local environmental regulations and Air Force requirements while working at the Air National Guard installation.

Adherence to this guide is necessary and will help increase your company’s awareness of the Air National Guard and the Camp Murray's Environmental Management System (EMS) and environmental regulatory requirements.

Environmental Management System (EMS) requirements are outlined in Appendix A.

No requirement in the Contractor Environmental Guide will relieve the contractors of complying with any applicable federal, state, or local regulations. Contractors are responsible for being knowledgeable of all applicable federal, state, local laws and regulations, permit requirements, and US Air Force policies and procedures. Whenever there is a conflict among federal, state, and local laws, regulations and/or permit requirements, the more restrictive provision shall apply. In the event of noncompliance, contractors shall take corrective and/or preventive actions and shall immediately notify the Contracting Office Representative or Contracting Officer.

This Contractor Environmental Guide (CEG) specifies Contractor work practices to provide environmental pollution prevention and minimize damage to the environment as the result of construction, demolition, and renovation operations under this contract and for those measures set forth in other technical provisions of these specifications. The control of environmental pollution and impacts requires consideration of the potential effects of an action upon air, water, and land resources, and includes management of visual aesthetics, natural and cultural resources, noise levels, solid waste, dust, hazardous waste, toxic waste, and radioactive materials, as well as other pollutants. This CEG is prepared in accordance with the 194WG Environmental Plans, Air Force Environmental Protection Regulations and with current federal, state, and local laws and regulations concerning environmental pollution protection and sustainability activities.

Adherence to the CEG is mandatory and it is required that all site workers read the plan prior to working on site. The Contractor is required to keep the CEG on-site at all times during construction, demolition, and renovation operations under this contract.

Project sites are subject to inspection by the 194 Wing Environmental Office to ensure compliance with environmental regulations/requirements and practices.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Through-out this plan there are references that reference that the Environmental Office be contacted. This is only to emphasize the importance of the issue being discussed.

The "Chain of Communication" would be the Contractor contacts the Contracting Officer (CO) or the Contracting Office Representative (COR). The CO or the COR will contact the Environmental on issues that need immediate attention. The Environmental Office would be contacted by the contractor if the CO nor the COR were available.

1.1 Contractor Responsibilities

Contractors performing work on Camp Murray are responsible for:

• Compliance with federal, state, and local environmental regulations/requirements. Camp Murray-specific environmental requirements are outlined in this Contractor Environmental Guide.

The Contractor shall immediately inform the Contracting Office Representative assigned to the project if there is an issue with maintaining any of the environmental requirements.

KNOWLEDGE OF ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor is responsible for being knowledgeable of, and complying with, all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, permit requirements, and U.S Air Force policies. Whenever there is a conflict among federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and permit requirements, the more restrictive provision shall apply.

It will be the responsibility of the Prime Contractor to assure that all subcontractors comply with the C.E.G.

CONTRACTOR COMPLIANCE

The following section refers to In-house compliance issues that may arise that involve specific elements of the

194WG ANG.

PERMITS

The Contractor shall comply with all requirements under the terms and conditions set forth in any and all permits issued for work under this project (or related projects) by any local, state, or federal agency. (e.g., Washington Dept of Ecology Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit, Puget Sound Air Quality Permit, EPA Hazardous Waste Permit, etc.). Any changes to permits must be justified and approved by the COR and the 194th Environmental Management Office, herein referred to as EMO.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS) AWARENESS

194th Wing Environmental Commitment (See Appendix A) - Adhere to the AF & ANG Policy Directive, AFPD 90-8, by incorporating the AF's vision and priorities of Compliance, Reducing Risk, and Continuous Improvement into our mission and daily activities:

Protecting the environment is one of our highest priorities and will be a major factor in decision making. The 194th Wing is dedicated through the use of a proactive Environmental, Safety, and Occupational Health (ESOH) Council to the continued improvements of our mission processes to reduce overall operational ESOH management Risks.

Set environmental goals, measure progress, take corrective action, train, and communicate results to the Wing and Community Partners

The Contractor shall perform work in a manner that conforms to all appropriate Environmental Management Programs and Operational Controls identified by the 194th Wing Environmental Commitment, including pollution prevention, waste reduction, energy use, and natural resource protection. The Contractor shall provide monitoring and measurement information as necessary for the organization to address environmental performance relative to the environmental solid waste disposal goals and Hazardous Material reporting requirements. In addition, the Contractor shall advise their employees of their roles and responsibilities identified by the EMS and how these requirements affect their work performed under this contract.

While adhering to the contract limits, the responsibilities of all contractor personnel include, but are not limited to:

(1) Reducing the amount of solid waste from construction and demolition debris, and scrap metal by reducing, reusing, and recycling. The Base recycling eligible materials include ferrous metals, copper (wire and pipe). The base has a collection container where the contractor can deposit these recyclables.

(2) Reducing the amount of hazardous material and/or solvent used by purchasing fewer hazardous materials and by increasing the use of products with recycled content.

(3) Minimize pollution outdoor ground pollution by:

• Laying down ground cover in outdoor areas where grinding, sanding, or painting is being performed.

• Tools and equipment are cleaned and serviced in such a way that the ground will not be exposed to any chemical or petroleum spillage.

• Equipment that has the potential to leak or spill petroleum products is maintained within a containment system or absorbents to eliminate ground contamination.

• Hazardous materials are mixed and stored in areas that will contain any spillage.

(4) Conserving energy and water usage by turning off lights and equipment when not in use and using only the necessary amount of water needed to complete the required tasks. Continuous conservation of our natural resources is a must.

(5) All contracted employees must be aware of all the environmental impacts associated with construction activities.

1.2 Contract Provided Environmental Management Plan

A CEMP describes how activities undertaken during the construction phase of development will be managed to avoid or mitigate environmental or nuisance impacts, and how those environmental management requirements will be implemented.

Depending on the scope and complexity of the project, a CEMP may be required when there is a risk that construction activities could cause environmental harm or environmental nuisance. Triggers for preparing a CEMP could also include any of the following (or any other relevant) circumstances applying to the site:

• It is located in the catchment of a water-sensitive region such as a water protection area declared under the

EP Act

• It is located near surface or underground waters.

• It is located near a sensitive receiver.

• Site contamination may exist.

• Waste soils, construction and demolition waste may be imported or removed.

A CEMP SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT:

• A description of the site location and the receiving environment, including the location of sensitive receivers

• A description of the project construction works to be undertaken, including timeframes and construction hours.

• Identification and analysis of potential environmental impacts, including environmental hazards and risks, proposed mitigation measures and any residual risks.

• Identification and description of the management measures such as stormwater inspections, to be implemented.

• Description of the collection, storage and disposal of non-regulated wastes, universal wastes, and hazardous wastes.

• Fugitive Dust control Plan (Means and methods of controlling excessive dust).

• Vehicle Wash/Scrape area details (Means and methods of minimizing the carrying of soil and rocks onto arterial roads).

• Identification of appropriate reporting and verification measures, such as analytical results of materials needing to be tested.

• A description of appropriate contingencies to be implemented if management measures are identified as being ineffective and/or result in environmental nuisance.

• Identification of a person or persons with responsibility for implementing the CEMP who:

o must ensure construction activity resulting in noise with an adverse impact on amenity does not occur or commence except as permitted by the Noise EPP. The responsible person may be the owner, occupier, contractor, or head contractor for the site.

o Should have authority to call for immediate cessation of works if an issue arises.

o should have authority to undertake investigations into the issue that has arisen.

o should have authority to call for a recommencement of works after investigation and mitigation of impacts.

o Should have responsibility for managing communications and complaints.

o should have responsibility for notifying the CO or COR if serious or material environmental harm from pollution is caused or threatened in the course of an activity undertaken by that person, as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of the harm or threatened harm.

2 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE PROGRAMS

Camp Murray has a broad scope of environmental impacts and works within many disciplines of environmental compliance. This section will outline the requirements in each discipline. It is necessary for contractors to comply with the requirements of each program identified.

PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURSES

The environmental resources within the project boundaries and those affected outside the limits of work under this contract shall be protected during the entire period of this contract. The Contractor shall confine his activities to areas defined by the drawings and specifications. The Contractor shall comply with the following requirements of each environmental program identified.

In the event of any environmental nonconformance or noncompliance associated with any of the environmental laws and regulations, the contractor shall take corrective and/or preventative actions and shall immediately notify the COR.

2.1 Air Quality

The Contractor shall keep construction activities under surveillance, management, and control to minimize pollution of air resources. All activities, equipment, processes, and work operated or performed by the Contractor in accomplishing the specified construction shall be in strict accordance with the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency (PSCAA) and federal emission and performance laws and standards. It will be the Contractor's responsibility to apply for a “Notice of Construction Permit" (if it is required) and meet the Ambient Air Quality Standards set by the EPA and PSCAA. These shall be maintained for all construction operations and activities throughout the life of the contract. The Contractor shall have sufficient functional equipment available to accomplish the task.

2.1.1 Particulates

Dust particles, aerosols, and gaseous by-products and fumes from all construction activities and the processing and preparing of materials, such as from sanding, grinding and abrasive blasting, shall be controlled at all times and kept at a minimum at the construction site. Contractors will identify best management practices (BMPs) that they will use to help minimize fugitive dust.

OPEN BURNING

The burning of man-made debris or vegetation is prohibited on base.

CONSTRUCTION SITE DUST

Fugitive Dust is particulate matter that is suspended in the air by wind or human activities and does not come out of a stack. Air quality regulations require the use of control techniques to minimize Fugitive Dust emissions.

The goal is to eliminate visible airborne Fugitive Dust. Therefore, state and local regulatory agencies expect that as many of these control techniques be employed as necessary to achieve this goal.

Contractors will be responsible to keep road dust at the construction site to a minimum. They may be asked to provide a water truck to wet down open ground/dirt worksites and roads.

GRINDING, SANDING, OR METAL WORK

Activity that generates dust or particles will require the use of a tarp or containment area to capture the waste. No waste from these activities shall be left on the ground (soil or hard surface).

2.1.2 Painting

Contractors shall practice pollution prevention and look for opportunities to reduce the opportunity for creating pollution of any kind. Contractors shall reduce air quality pollutants and should use the lowest Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) and/or Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) content paint as possible to accomplish work. The contractor is also required to have trained personnel to reduce rework and control overspray. Contractor will be prepared to provide documentation of all training. All hazardous materials used in painting operations must be reviewed and approved by the Camp Murray Environmental Management Office (Please see additional details in the Hazardous Materials Usage section).

PAINT SPECIFICATIONS

The federal government caps the VOC content in paint at 250 grams per liter (g/l) for flat finishes and 380 g/l for other finishes (low-luster, semi-gloss, etc.) The Base EMS program requires an active practice of reducing air quality pollutants and encourages the use of the lowest VOC content paint as possible to accomplish the work with a HVLP sprayer. Low VOC is considered to be:

• For Flat (or matte) paints with fewer than 50 grams of VOCs per liter are generally considered to be low-

VOC, while a zero-VOC paint is one with fewer than 5 grams per liter.

• Non-flat paints (such as satin and semi-gloss) are considered low-VOC if they have fewer than 100 grams of

VOCs per liter. The Contractor is required to control overspray and may choose any available methods.

METHODS AND CLEANING

The contractor is highly discouraged from spray painting outdoors in windy conditions. The contractor shall work with the COR to pre-plan any outdoor spray painting in order to alert members to stay out of the area and to clear out any equipment that may be affected by any overspray.

The cleaning of spray guns, rollers and paint brushes shall be done in a containment area that will capture all of the discharge. The WAANG does not allow decanting the water from these cleaning operations to the ground or to a storm drainage system. Decanting to the wastewater (sewer) may be allowed but the Contractor would need to get permission from the JBLM Wastewater Treatment facility. The contact is from the privatization contractor American Water.

2.1.3 Refrigerants

Any work to be performed on refrigerant-containing equipment whether new or existing shall be performed by EPA-certified technicians using certified equipment.

All excess Class I and Class II ozone depleting substances and R-22 type Freon being removed from equipment associated with chiller retrofits shall remain the property of the USAF (if not contaminated).

Any refrigerant added or removed from equipment must be reported to Civil Engineer Squadron. The installation of any new refrigerant-containing equipment including stationary equipment with 50 pounds or more of refrigerant must also be reported to CE Squadron.

EPA CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS

All certifications will be turned into the COR prior to evacuation or loading.

All excess Class I ozone depleting substances and R-22 type refrigerant being removed from equipment associated with chiller/HVAC/AC retrofits shall remain the property of the USAF (if not contaminated) and must be shipped to the ODS Reserve in Richmond, Virginia by the WA ANG. A container will be provided to the Contractor for the evacuated R-22 refrigerant.

All refrigerant removed or added must be reported to the EMO for compliance documentation.

The EMO requires photos of the data plates of all newly installed equipment. These shall be turned in to the COR or CO.

BOILERS

The EMO requires photos of the data plates of all newly installed boiler equipment. Existing boilers that are being flushed can discharge the flushed waste to the sanitary sewer but will be required to obtain a permit for this discharge. A copy of this permit can be found in Appendix B. As of 2020 the Joint Base Lewis McChord wastewater system is privatized. The current contractor is American Water (November 2022). This permit shall be obtained by the contractor and a copy of the approved permit provided to the COR prior to discharging any waste.

The contact for this permit is:

2.1.4 Vehicle Idling

Camp Murray has a Vehicle Idling policy. It is strongly encouraged that Contractors strive for a five (5) minute idling maximum unless otherwise specified.

See next page for Policy Letter.

2.2 Hazardous Materials

Camp Murray works to identify, authorize, and track hazardous materials with the objective to effectively manage and minimize the Air Force's dependence on hazardous materials. It is necessary for contractors to contribute to the objective by disclosing hazardous materials usage while on Camp Murray and managing hazardous materials in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines hazardous materials as any substance or chemical which is hazardous to people's health or is physically hazardous.

2.2.1 Hazardous Materials Usage

Prior to any chemicals being brought on base, contractors must submit the Contractor Hazardous Materials Usage Tracking Form (Appendix C) attaching all chemical Safety Data Sheets (SDS). This must be submitted to the Contracting Office Representative or Contracting Officer. Any concerns will be addressed with the contractor via the Contracting Office Representative or Contracting Officer.

The Environmental Management Office is available to assist as necessary.

HAZMAT (HM) BROUGHT ON CAMP MURRAY

The contractor is required to submit Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all hazardous materials that will be brought on base PRIOR to the arrival of the materials. The SDSs will be submitted to the Contracting Officer and the COR. The SDSs will be reviewed by the Environmental office, the Safety office and the Bioenvironmental Office. and the Bioenvironmental Engineering Offices for Occupational Health and Environmental concerns. If either office has concerns, the COR will be notified to bring to the contractor's attention for further discussion.

The Contractor is required to submit a list of ALL hazardous materials that will be brought on Base. A sample form is located in Appendix C. The Contracting Office will supply the Contractor with electronic forms, or the Contractor can use his own form as long as all the information needed is provided. This must be submitted to the COR prior to any of the materials are brought on base. The Contractor will provide regular submittals for HM used on the contract to the COR. This may be monthly or quarterly and specifically at the end of the project, depending on the length of the project. Final payment will not be released until this information has been provided to the COR.

2.2.2 Hazardous Materials Storage and Containment

Contractors must provide for the proper storage of hazardous materials and take all necessary provisions to meet the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).

Liquid hazardous materials in containers of 55 gallons or greater require secondary containment that is capable of holding 110% of the volume of the largest container, or 10% of the total volume for the consolidated location, whichever is greater. Additionally, sufficient materials to clean up spills of hazardous materials should be maintained by the contractor at hazardous materials storage locations.

CONTAINER INSPECTIONS

Liquid containers of HM or HW of 55 gallons or more shall be inspected monthly with the Tank Inspection Checklist provided in Appendix B. An electronic copy of this form can be provided to the contractor if requested.

CONTAINMENT INSPECTIONS

Containment areas located outside will require inspections as a part of the container inspection. In addition, if the containment area fills up with rainwater, the contractor will drain the containment area immediately and document this action. If there is any noticeable oil sheen on the water, the contractor will contact the EMO for instructions prior to releasing the water to the ground. A copy of the decanting sheet inspection form can be found in Appendix B.

CONTAINER LABELS

In the upcoming sections there is a discussion about the several waste streams that may be produced by the contractor. Below are samples of labels that will be applied to containers.

2.2.3 Hazardous Materials Spills

Emergency Response Contact Information and Procedures (Appendix D) provides Camp Murray's relevant contact information and spill response procedures. All spills must be reported in accordance with Camp Murray spill reporting procedures. Note that spills of AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) and HEF (High Expansion Foam) must be immediately reported to the Environmental Management Office.

Clean up of any spilled materials is the responsibility of the contractor.

Spills of hazardous or toxic materials shall be immediately reported to the COR. This includes vehicle oil or hydraulic leaks. There are different degrees of notification required by Contractor.

Contractor caused spills, that may cause a dangerous situation such as fire or human health/danger, must first call the Fire Department by dialing 99-911 on any Base phone or 911 on a cell phone. The COR and the Environmental Office shall be notified immediately after the Fire Dept. notification. The Emergency Spill Response Flow chart can be found in Appendix E.

Contractor caused spills, that occur on the soil or reaches "Waters of the US" shall contact the COR and the Environmental Office immediately. The COR and EMO will make the decision to contact other agencies. The EMO will assess the need for clean-up operations.

The person(s) discovering the emergency will take all steps possible to immediately alert others in the area, shut down all fuel operations (if appropriate), and safely initiate steps to control the emergency and reduce the hazard. The final clean-up of the spill materials, their storage and disposal will be the responsibility of the Contractor.

Reportable spills are characterized as spills in quantities of 6 oz or more, or any amount that reaches a waterway (including Underground injection Wells) or any amount that reaches bare earth. It will be the responsibility of the EMO to notify the specific Federal and State authorities of the spill. The Prime Contractor nor his subs will be responsible to contact any of the Federal, State or Local reporting channels.

2.3 Hazardous Waste and Regulated Waste

It is necessary that any hazardous or regulated waste be managed in accordance with Camp Murray practices to ensure continued compliance. Additionally, Camp Murray strives to minimize waste aligning with the EPA's pollution prevention methodology and expects all work being performed on behalf of Camp Murray to implement this approach to hazardous waste management.

Hazardous Waste cannot be removed from the site. If it was generated on base, it must be stored and disposed of from Camp Murray.

Regulated Waste can be removed from this site and stored at the contractor's yard. Ultimate disposal must be documented and reported back to the Environmental Office.

The Environmental Office will work with the Contractor's Environmental representative to set up waste sites for their regulated and hazardous waste. The contractor will be responsible to purchase the containers and monitor them regularly.

Containment areas for Hazardous Waste or Regulated wastes will be kept under cover. Secondary containment will be required for liquid wastes in containers that are 55 gal or greater and/or any size container holding a liquid HW. This regulation falls under the Stormwater CFRs.

2.3.1 Hazardous Waste Generation and Accumulation

Contractors will work with the Environmental Management Office to correctly identify hazardous waste streams and to establish and maintain any hazardous waste satellite accumulation points. Cost associated with the materials for the satellite accumulation points are the responsibility of the contractor. If the volume of hazardous waste at a satellite accumulation point exceeds regulatory requirements, the Environmental Management Office will be notified immediately to transfer to Camp Murray's Central Accumulation Point.

Any satellite accumulation point containers must remain under the control of the operator of the process generating the waste, be in good condition, be compatible with their contents, and be closed except when adding or removing waste. Hazardous wastes generated by the contractor shall be managed and stored to ensure no spillage on the ground or releases to water or air.

The type and amount of hazardous waste generated onsite must be provided to the Contracting Office Representative or Contracting Officer in a timely manner.

The 194th Wing is currently a Very Small Quantity Generator which means we collect less than 220 lbs. of HW and less than 2.2 lbs. of acute HW per month. According to 40 CFR 262.13 wastes must be tracked monthly to ensure these quantities are no exceeded.

If the Contract generates HW, the weights of the monthly accumulation will need to be reported to the Environmental Office every month.

An example: if you have a barrel of contaminated rags. The first month, you report your container is a 1/4 full and weighs 10 lbs. The next month the container is 1/2 full and now weights 20 lbs. The contractor would report the 10 lb. increase the second month.

A Satellite Accumulation Site (SAP) will be set up for each HW stream. The Contractor may store the HW in an agreed upon, designated SAP until any container reaches 55 gal. and then will turn in this waste to the Environmental Engineer. The other option is for the Contractor to arrange for a certified HW transporter to pick up the waste to be brought to a regulated TSFD within 72 hours.

It is requested that if the contractor knows they will be producing hazardous waste that will account for over 220 lbs. per month, that they contact the Environmental Engineer with this information. This will allow the Environmental Office to apply for an “Episodic” exemption.

2.3.2 Hazardous Waste Disposal

Contractors will properly prepare hazardous waste for shipping and dispose of all contractor-generated hazardous waste. The Environmental Management Office will review, approve, and sign all hazardous waste manifests.

Costs associated with waste laboratory analysis for the satellite accumulation points are the responsibility of the contractor.

According to AFMAN 32-7002 5.4.1.1 Hazardous waste can be disposed by the Contractor. The Contractor will use the WAANG EPA ID number (WAH000057490) and the WA ANG address on the manifest and will have to arrange with the Environmental Engineer to sign this manifest. This waste must be tracked and is reported by the Environmental Engineer to the WA Dept. of Ecology.

2.3.3 Hazardous Waste Training

Contractors shall ensure that all employees handling hazardous waste are adequately trained in accordance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) in the management of hazardous waste. Training must be conducted, documented, and maintained by the contractors to ensure all onsite personnel are compliant with applicable local, state, and federal instructions, rules and regulations. Records will be maintained by the contractor and made available upon request.

2.3.4 Universal Waste

Contractors shall work with the Environmental Management Office if a Universal Waste collection point must be designated for the storage of universal waste generated during project activities. Contractors will properly prepare universal waste for shipping and disposal of all contractor-generated universal waste. The Environmental Management Office will review, approve, and sign all universal waste manifests and/or shipping documentation.

Contractors shall provide emergency procedures appropriate to the type(s) of universal waste being managed by the contractor to their employees and manage any resulting waste properly.

Universal Waste (UW) includes Batteries (all types) and Lamps (Fluorescent bulbs, small vehicle bulbs, Mercury Vapor, Sodium, HID, CFLs etc.)

UW can be stored on site with the approval of the Environmental Office or taken off base on a daily basis.

LAMPS

• Lamps must be placed in closed containers that are structurally sound, adequate to prevent breakage, and compatible with the contents of the lamps.

• The container must be labeled or marked with the words: “Universal Waste – Lamp(s),” and “Waste Lamp(s),” or “Used Lamp(s).”

• The accumulation start date is added when the first bulb is containerized. Intentionally broken lamps must be managed as hazardous waste.

BATTERIES

• All Battery terminals shall be taped prior to storing them.

• Batteries need to be segregated by types when you drop them off at the Universal Waste area.

• Expended Lead Acid batteries need to be in secondary containment (inside a locker would satisfy this need) and terminals taped.

• Battery container lids must be closed and the accumulation date visible and they are turned in months before ONE year expires to give the Environmental office time to dispose of them.

2.3.5 Used Oil

Used oil containers that are 55 gallons or greater in capacity require proper secondary containment.

The Emergency Response Contact Information and Procedures (Appendix D) provides Camp Murray's relevant contact information and spill response procedures. All spills must be reported.

2.4 Toxic Substances

Contractors must make special provisions if work will include toxic substances as listed.

• Asbestos

• Lead-based Paints

• Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)

• Radon

This will include any applicable certifications, management, and disposal in accordance with applicable federal, state, local, and Air Force regulations and requirements. Additionally, asbestos NESHAP (National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollution) requires Clean Air Act notification when certain conditions apply.

ACCUMULATION & STORAGE

Each substance referenced above has specific requirements on how long it can be stored and how it will be stored. The contractor will be responsible to meet these State and Federal standards.

DISPOSAL

Manifested waste must be signed by the Environmental Engineer. Regular shipping documents may be signed by the contractor. However, copies of these shipping documents must be provided to the Environmental Office.

2.5 Solid Waste

The solid waste program includes municipal solid waste, construction, and demolition (C&D) debris, and the management of recyclable commodities through diversion and/or a Qualified Recycling Program.

2.5.1 Solid Waste Disposal and Storage

Contractor will be responsible for non-hazardous waste generated as outlined in job specifications.

If waste is collected in a dumpster or roll-off, the unit will be kept covered when not in use. The area around the container will be kept clean. Weights and costs should be recorded on the Solid Waste Disposal Form that is turned in to the COR found in Appendix C.

2.5.2 Recycling and Reuse Program

Contractors are responsible for implementing a program to divert any recyclable or reusable materials.

The 194WG highly encourages recycling, reuse, mulching and waste to energy disposals of solid non-regulated waste.

The wastes are tracked on the Solid Waste Disposal form found in Appendix C. The contractor will identify if the waste was disposed of to a landfill, a recycling center or even brought to a site that will reuse it (i.e., sinks, wood, masonry). An associated cost for each disposal must be reported.

2.5.3 Solid Waste Reporting

Quantities of any materials removed from Camp Murray for landfill disposal or diversion (e.g., recycling, reuse) shall be documented and reported to the Contracting Office Representative or Contracting Officer. Weights should be associated with the appropriate categories – landfilled, diverted, incinerated, waste-to-energy, or mulched. Disposal cost should also be provided.

2.6 Natural Resources

The Environmental Management Office manages any applicable Natural Resources on Camp Murray.

The Sikes Act Improvement Act of 1997, 16 United States Code (USC) § 670a et seq., as amended (herein referred to as the Sikes Act), requires federal military installations with significant natural resources to develop a long-range Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP) and implement cooperative agreements with other agencies. The Sikes Act is implemented through Department of Defense (DoD) and U.S. Air Force (USAF) instructions and manuals. The conservation measures discussed in the INRMP help manage water resources, state protected species, and invasive species and sustain natural resources.

The INRMP is intended to be in support of and consistent with the Sikes Act. This INRMP is the primary guidance document and tool for managing natural resources on Camp Murray Air National Guard Station (Camp Murray ANGS) and supplements the Washington Army National Guard (WAARNG) INRMP.

The WA ANG has a responsibility to protect all natural resources which includes flora and fauna, migratory birds and threatened and endangered (T & E) species. Currently, there are no T & E species on WA ANG property but, according to the Washington Fish and Wildlife Department there is a potential for the list found in Appendix G to be found in the area. If any of these species are identified, the Contractor must contact the EMO immediately to determine a way forward.

Nests of Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA)-protected species may be found in the project vicinity. If the contractor encounters active bird nests during construction, they should contact the Environmental Office immediately prior to any further disturbance.

2.7 Cultural Resources

The Environmental Management Office manages any applicable Cultural Resources on Camp Murray.

Inadvertent discoveries of cultural materials may occur on ANG-controlled property at any time, particularly during ground disturbance activities. If cultural resources are encountered during contractor operations, the contractor shall cease all ground-disturbing activities in the affected area to protect the resources. The Contracting Office

Representative or Contracting Officer will be notified immediately; the Contracting Office Representative or Contracting Officer will then notify the base Environmental Management Office. See the full Inadvertent Discovery SOP in Appendix E.

The IDP outlines procedures to perform in the event of a discovery of archaeological materials or human remains, in accordance with applicable state and federal laws. An IDP is required, as part of Agency Terms and Conditions for all grants and loans, for any project that creates disturbance above or below the ground. An IDP is not a substitute for a formal cultural resource review (Executive 21-02 or Section 106).

Once completed, the IDP shall always be kept at the project site during all project activities. All staff, contractors, and volunteers shall be familiar with its contents and know where to find it.

CULTURAL RESOURCE DISCOVERIES

• A cultural resource discovery could be prehistoric or historic artifacts. Examples include (see images for further examples): An accumulation of shell, burned rocks, or other food related materials.

• Bones, intact or in small pieces.

• An area of charcoal or very dark stained soil with artifacts.

• Stone tools or waste flakes (for example, an arrowhead or stone chips).

• Modified or stripped trees, often cedar or aspen, or other modified natural features, such as rock drawings.

Agricultural or logging materials that appear older than 50 years. These could include equipment, fencing, canals, spillways, chutes, derelict sawmills, tools, and many other items.

• Clusters of tin cans or bottles, or other debris that appear older than 50 years. Old munitions casings.

Always assume these are live and never touch or move. Buried railroad tracks, decking, foundations, or other industrial materials.

• Remnants of homesteading. These could include bricks, nails, household items, toys, food containers, and other items associated with homes or farming sites.

• The above list does not cover every possible cultural resource. When in doubt, assume the material is a cultural resource.

ON-SITE RESPONSIBILITIES

See Appendix E for the Inadvertant Discovery Form and more information on the Standard Operating Procedures that need to be followed.

2.8 Water Management

Water management includes the wastewater, stormwater, and drinking water programs.

Note that drinking water is not typically impacted and therefore is not discussed further in this plan.

2.8.1 Wastewater

Industrial wastewater disposal must be coordinated with the Environmental Management Office.

The contractor is responsible for ensuring all applicable permits have been obtained and the requirements are met (to include specific wastewater discharge permits as applicable); documenting and maintaining copies of all permits required information (inspections, tests, etc.); and coordinating and communicating with the environmental manager whenever there is a concern or change in circumstances.

The wastewater system on Camp Murray is managed by Joint Base Lewis McChord's Contractor American Water.

The Contractor will be required to gain permits or approvals from American Water for any discharges to the sewer system. Their contact information is:

Environmental Manager American Water PO Box 331051, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA 98433 Joint Base Lewis McChord Office: (253)366-9127 Copies of permits or approvals shall be given to the COR.

2.8.2 Stormwater

Stormwater runoff from operations disturbing the land surface shall be controlled to protect water resources.

Control methods include but are not limited to silt fences/basins, berms, and drop/curb inlet protections. It is the responsibility of the contractor to implement best management practices whenever possible and maintain stormwater controls. All land disturbing activities of one acre or more on Camp Murray are subject to US EPA stormwater regulations.

The contractor is responsible for ensuring all applicable permits have been obtained and conditions are followed (including sediment and erosion control and/or construction permits); ensuring site specific Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) are followed in addition to the base's SWPPP conditions; and coordinating and communicating with the environmental manager whenever there is a concern or change in circumstances.

2.8.2.1 STORMWATER DEFINITION AND MS4 PERMIT LOCATION

Stormwater is defined as any rain or melting snow that flows off buildings, streets, parking lots, or other paved areas. Due to contact with impervious surfaces, stormwater has the potential to become contaminated with pollutants such as fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, oil, heavy metals, trash, manure, and other chemicals. Unlike industrial or sanitary wastewater, stormwater is not treated and eventually flows directly to streams, lakes, and marine waters from stormwater drains, ditches, and culverts.

Stormwater pollution increases risk to the health and safety of aquatic environments and recreational areas. To reduce the effects of stormwater pollution, WMD will use “all known, available, and reasonable methods of prevention, control and treatment" (AKART) to implement “best management practices" (BMPs) that reduce non-point source pollution to the “maximum extent practicable" (MEP).

2.8.2.2 CONSTRUCTION SITE STORMWATER RUNOFF CONTROL

National Pollution Discharge Elimination System All land-disturbing activities of an acre or more on Camp Murray require a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) approved by the Washington State Department of Environmental Quality (WSDEQ) before the land disturbing activity can begin. The Contractor must comply with the conditions of the permit issued by WSDEQ.

The Contractor shall be responsible for taking all actions necessary to comply with the erosion and sedimentation control laws and implementing the permit.

The WA ANG requires that its contractors prevent erosion and discharge of sediment and other pollutants into receiving waters in accordance with Washington State Water Pollution Control Law (RCW 90.48) and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Title 33 USC Section 1251 et seq.). Contractors must acquire NPDES Construction Stormwater General Permits (CSWGP) for construction and demolition projects that impact 1 acre or greater. In addition, a CSWGP would be required for any size project that discharge directly to waters of the State or where clearing/grading and/or excavation on sites smaller than 1 acre that are contiguous to other clearing sites that will ultimately disturb 1 acre or more and discharge stormwater to surface waters of the State. Contractors must prepare and properly implement an adequate Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for construction activity in accordance with the requirements of the Construction Stormwater General Permit beginning with initial soil disturbance and until final stabilization.

A copy of the Contractor's NPDES permit and State approved SWPPP must be turned to the COR prior to any land disturbing activities and posted at the contractor’s site.

Maintenance of Pollution Control Facilities The Contractor shall maintain all constructed facilities and portable pollution control devices for the duration of the contract.

Secondary Containment: The Contractor shall provide secondary containment for any Above Ground Storage tank (AST) container with a capacity of 55 gallons or greater. In addition, secondary containment will be required for any size container storing a liquid hazardous waste. The containment area shall be large enough to contain 110 percent of the volume of the storage tanks. The Contractor shall ensure containment areas are kept free of rainwater or any other substance that will reduce its containment capacity throughout the duration of the contract. The Contractor shall not install any temporary underground storage tanks. Tanks over 55 gallon will require a monthly inspection report to be completed by the contractor and turned in to the COR by the end of the month. See Appendix F - Forms.

Erosion and Sedimentation Control Devices: The Contractor shall immediately repair any damaged erosion and sedimentation control structures, such as silt fences, and remove accumulated sediment. The contractor will inspect all control devices weekly. These records shall be available for review by the COR or Environmental https://ecology.wa.gov/Regulations-Permits/Permits-certifications/Stormwater-general-permits/Municipal-stormwater-general-permits/Municipal-Stormwater-Phase-I-Permit https://ecology.wa.gov/Regulations-Permits/Permits-certifications/Stormwater-general-permits/Municipal-stormwater-general-permits/Municipal-Stormwater-Phase-I-Permit https://ecology.wa.gov/Regulations-Permits/Permits-certifications/Stormwater-general-permits/Municipal-stormwater-general-permits/Municipal-Stormwater-Phase-I-Permit

Office.

Storm Drains: The Contractor shall ensure sediment does not block storm drains. The Contractor shall be responsible for cleaning storm drains blocked due to erosion or sediment from the work area or from offsite sources during the duration of the contract.

2.9 Sustainable Procurement

The Sustainable Procurement Program has six mandatory elements and one voluntary component, as listed below:

• Recycled content products, also known as the Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines Items

• Energy Star and energy-efficiency products Alternative fuel vehicles and fuel-efficient vehicles Bio-based products

• Non-ozone depleting substances

• U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Priority Chemicals

• Voluntary Component: Environmentally Preferable Products (i.e., products or services that have a reduced negative effect on human health and the environment.)

Practices such as purchasing materials with reduced packaging, purchasing products with low or no toxic constituents, or purchasing products that have a closed procurement loop through a "buy-back" program are encouraged. Products bought under the Sustainable Procurement Program should be identified and recorded.

When using a substitute product or any recycled product in lieu of a non-sustainable product, contractors are requested to provide justification to the Contracting Office Representative or Contracting Officer.
