C.1 INTRODUCTION

C.1.1 Mission

The Environmental Division is committed to sustaining the military missions at all times at Aberdeen Proving Ground by providing the guidance, actions, and customer assistance necessary to comply with all environmental laws and regulations, prevent pollution where possible, protect and conserve vital natural resources, restore contaminated sites, and continually improve our operations.

C.1.2 Background

Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) is divided into several geographic entities located in Harford County, Maryland, near the head of the Chesapeake Bay, with two portions of the installation, Carroll Island and Graces Quarters, located in Baltimore County, Maryland. The Harford County areas are Aberdeen Area (APG – North), Edgewood Area (APG – South). The Churchville Test Area is located on MD Route 136 and Harmony Church Road. All the locations require proactive action by APG to conduct operations in an environmentally sound and sustainable manner. All environmental matters at APG are under the guidance of the Chief of the Environmental Division of the Directorate of Public Works. The mission of the Environmental Division is to provide Installation-wide support in maintaining compliance with all applicable Federal and State environmental laws and regulations. In addition to ensuring regulatory compliance, the Environmental Division identifies existing or potential environmental risk and develops initiatives for risk mitigation or risk management with the objectives to enhance and protect APG’s natural, cultural, and archeological resources. The Environmental Division is also responsible for implementation of APG’s Installation Restoration Program (IRP) and Military Munitions Response Program.

C.1.3 Objective: The objective of this effort is to provide basic environmental services to US Army Garrison APG’s Directorate of Public Works - Environmental Division (DPW-ED) and to all tenants supported by DPW-ED in need of environmental services. The funding sources for this acquisition are therefore expected to vary. However, the primary objective remains, regardless of the proponent or funding source, and that is to provide a variety of environmental support services required for APG to achieve its collective missions.

C.1.4 General Information:

This is a non-personal services contract to provide basic environmental technical support services. The Government will not exercise supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the contractor who, in turn, is responsible to the Government.

C.2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

C.2.1 Scope of Work The contractor shall provide a wide range of Environmental Services to include facility maintenance activities or construction and demolition or both to comply with environmental laws and regulations at properties within the control of APG and Garrison Supported Organizations (GSOs). The Contractor shall execute work to meet the objectives/milestones in specific task order performance work statements.

The contractor shall perform munitions response activities that may involve the remediation and disposition of Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC), which include Unexploded Ordnance (UXO), Discarded Military Munitions (DMM), and Munitions Constituents (MC). Pursuant to the 2012 Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP) Manual, munitions responses will follow the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) process under the Military Munitions Response Program. In addition, the contractor may perform Quantitative Assessments on operational ranges that will provide information necessary to keep the ranges open for training and testing. The contractor may perform investigations to determine if there has been a release of Munitions Constituents of Concern (MCOC) to an off-range area and off-range release of MCOC that may pose an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment. The following MEC related guidance includes but may not be limited to the following:

UXO, as defined in 10 United States Code (U.S.C.) 101(e)(5); DMM, as defined in 10 U.S.C. 2710(e)(2);

or MC, as defined in 10 U.S.C. 2710(e)(3) (Reference (ai)), present in high enough concentrations to pose an explosive hazard.

MEC distinguishes specific categories of military munitions that may pose unique explosives safety risks.

Because MEC being actively managed may be determined to be hazardous wastes, and because some of the activities conducted pursuant to this PWS will take place at a facility listed on the NPL, 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response, Section 1910.120 may apply.

Per the guidelines set forth in DoDI 4140.62 and Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board (DDESB) Technical Paper 18, UXO qualified personnel will be responsible for determining the explosive safety status of all material recovered that may pose an explosive hazard (e.g., Material Potentially Presenting an Explosive Hazard (MPPEH)).

Should MEC be encountered during this response, UXO-qualified personnel will evaluate the explosive hazard and remove MEC to include open detonation in place. This process will be conducted per the CERCLA and the National Contingency Plan (NCP), applicable state and federal regulation, and applicable DoD and United States Army policies and procedures. The programmatic specifications for this acquisition are to be provided on a task order basis. The DoD revised Ammunition and Explosives Safety Standards (DoD 6055.09-STD) (Feb 08) and PWS document must be adhered to in the investigation and remediation of sites with MEC. The specific requirements concerning explosives safety under the active Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP) are further clarified in EP-385-1-95b, ER 385-1-95, EM 385-1-97, and EP 385-1-95a. Please refer to Section C.5.2.2 which contains training requirements for Ordnance and Explosive Safety personnel.

C.3. Performance Requirements

C.3.1 Installation Restoration Program/Military Munitions Response Program

(IRP/MMRP).

C.3.1.1 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF WORK

The United States Army Environmental Command is responsible for cleanup at active/operating installations under the Installation Restoration Program (IRP) and the MMRP.

C.3.1.2 Performance Objectives

The level of detail, oversight, approvals, and performance objectives, may vary to meet requirements of individual task orders. The individual task order requirements will be specified in the PWS issued under this multiple award IDIQ contract in accordance with the various environmental subject areas or tasks identified in Section C.2.1.

The Government defines Performance Objectives as statements of a specific desired end result or outcome that are in clear, simple, concise, results-oriented, and measurable terms. The Government defines the completion of a Performance Objective as an outcome that has been 100% completed, approved, and accepted by the approval authority under the individual task orders that meet the objective or interim milestone. For example, submittal of a document for review is not the same as completion of an objective or interim milestone. Only upon the completion, approval, and acceptance will the Government pay for the objective or interim milestone.

C.3.1.3 Installation Restoration Program/Military Munitions Response Program (IRP/MMRP) Task Orders

The Individual task order PWS will typically contain objectives to achieve Remedy-in-Place (RIP) or Response Complete (RC) as defined and used in the DERP Management Manual, number 4715.20, dated 09 March 2012.

The contractor shall attain RIP or RC upon finalizing appropriate documentation from the Government certifying that the response actions conducted at the site have met the identified response action objectives and no further action is necessary, subject to all requirements for Response Action (Operations) [RA(O)] and/or Long Term Management (LTM). The contractor shall note if operations and/or long-term management/monitoring are necessary for the response action. The contractor shall be responsible for the following duration of the individual task order awarded and/or until achievement of Site Closeout (SC) whichever comes first:

a. Performing the required RA(O) at that site for the duration of the task order or until achievement of RC, whichever is first.

b. Performing the required LTM at that site for the duration of the task order or until achievement of SC, whichever is first.

c. Performing all Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) 121(c) or other Remedy reviews required at that site for the duration of the task order.

C.3.1.4.1 COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION, AND LIABILITY ACT

(CERCLA)

For sites with unregulated contaminants and primarily under the jurisdiction of CERCLA, certain pollutants or contaminants (P/C) may be an issue at sites covered by this contract. Cleanup of P/C may be warranted if the P/C presents an imminent and substantial endangerment to the public health or welfare that results in an unacceptable risk for the current and reasonably anticipated future use of the site. P/C, as defined in CERCLA, typically does not have a federally promulgated maximum contaminant limit (MCL). For all such P/C, or all other chemical, that does not have a federally promulgated MCL, but does have a finalized reference dose (FRD) or slope factor listed in USEPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) database, that FRD or slope factor shall be incorporated in the NCP risk assessment process. However, responses will not be paid that are not in full compliance with CERCLA, the DERP, and DoD and Army policy. Additionally, state standards will only be analyzed through the CERCLA applicable or relevant and appropriate requirement (ARAR) process.

C.3.1.4.2 RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT (RCRA)

For sites with unregulated contaminants and primarily under the jurisdiction of RCRA, certain P/C may be an issue at sites covered by this multiple IDIQ contract. The cleanup of P/C may be warranted if the P/C presents an imminent and substantial endangerment to the public health or welfare that results in an unacceptable risk, as determined by the government. The P/C typically does not have a federally promulgated MCL. For all such P/C or all other chemical, that does not have a federally promulgated MCL, but does have a finalized RfD or slope factor listed in USEPA's IRIS database, that RfD or slope factor should be incorporated in the risk assessment process.

However, responses will not be paid that are not in full compliance with RCRA, the DERP, and DoD and Army policy. Additionally, state standards will only be analyzed through the appropriate statutory analysis for applicable standards and requirements.

C.3.1.5 Types of Services The IRP/MMRP, may include but not limited to, site assessment, site inspection (SI), remedial investigation (RI), site characterization, feasibility study (FS), human health and/or ecological risk assessments, remedial design (RD), response action construction (RAC), proposed plan (PP) record of decision (ROD), remediation of contaminated sites, sampling and analysis, monitoring, response action operations (RA(O)), and long term management (LTM) required to address releases of hazardous substances or pollutants and contaminants, and to correct other environmental damage.

The Munitions Response Site Prioritization Protocol (MRSPP) requirements in 32 CFR Section 179 require the DoD, in consultation with representatives of the states and Indian tribes, to assign each MRS a relative priority for response actions. The initial MRSPP score for MRSs is developed during the SI phase. These MRSPP scores must be reviewed annually and must be revised whenever new data are obtained. Pursuant to this requirement, the contractor shall annually review, revise MRSPP scores based on new information, and submit to the Army for MRSs identified in the individual task orders awarded PWS. In addition, the Contractor shall also include all information that may have influenced the MRS priority or MRS sequencing decision in the Administrative Record and the Information Repository. Furthermore, the FY02 Defense Authorization Act creating the MMRP requires DoD to develop and maintain an inventory of defense sites that are known or suspected to contain UXO, DMM or MC. The pursuant to this requirement, the contractor shall submit annual updates to the Installation Munitions Response map in PDF format that reflect changes to the location, boundaries and/or extent of the MRSs in the task order PWS.

The level of detail, oversight, approvals, and performance objectives, may vary to meet requirements of individual task orders. The Army will use this contract to perform a variety of environmental services at APG.

b. During task order competition, the selected contractors may be asked to propose task performance metrics and milestone billing schedule(s), , The Government will identify specific performance objectives or requirements pursuant to a permit, consent agreement, or other applicable regulations, e.g. Clean Water Act (CWA), Clean Air Act (CAA), Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Oil Pollution Act of 1990, Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), A-190 RCRA Permit, Emergency Planning and Community Right to Act (EPCRA) and Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act

(FIFRA)

C.3.2.1.1 Risks

APG provides notice of the following risks that contractors need to be cognizant of that could affect individual task orders awarded under this multiple IDIQ as follows:

C.3.2.1.2 The environmental regulations are rarely performance-based.

C.3.2.1.3 The environmental compliance outcomes are often dependent on regulator decision (for examples, permit application accepted or permit granted) or public input.

C.3.2.1.4 The installation data may not be complete, correct, or up-to-date.

C.3.2.1.5 The real property inventory data, especially for environmental compliance sites, may be incomplete and out of date.

C.3.2.1.6 The Garrison’s environmental inventories and surveys may not keep up with the pace of construction or renovation.

C.3.21.7 The Garrison’s supported organizations do not always coordinate with Directorate of Public Works and the Environmental Division before self-help renovations, implementing new equipment, or fielding new weapons systems.

C.3.2.1.8 Because of accelerated and ambitious schedules, installation master planning changes may affect tasks that are in progress.

C.3.2.1.9 The Secure areas are difficult to visit, inspect, and survey.

C.3.2.1.10 The military tenants are often deployed or otherwise unavailable.

C.3.2.1.11 The military specifications that govern how weapons systems are maintained are designed to ensure performance in all environments and often specify hazardous materials use.

C.3.2.2 Performance Objectives The contractor shall comply with the primary objectives of APG’s environmental compliance programs, which are to comply with all applicable Federal, State laws, Department of Defense, Department of the Army, and APG regulations, and permits; implement Executive Orders, Best Management Practices, and regulatory guidance to the maximum extent practicable; and minimize points of compliance through careful planning and coordination with GSOs. Achieving the programmatic performance objectives will sustain the installation by: minimizing or eliminating the environmental impacts to the surrounding community and ecosystems from military training; on- Post housing; facility construction; maintenance, repair, and renovation; and facility operation through regulatory compliance, source reduction, and waste minimization; and minimizing energy and water use. Additional objectives include; maintaining or returning to regulatory compliance; reducing enforcement actions, compliance sites, or compliance cost per unit production (for example gallons of wastewater treated, pounds of hazardous waste managed, number of vehicles maintained or number of soldiers trained); reducing hazardous chemical use and release; and anticipating and mitigating environmental impacts of planned actions .

Specific detailed requirements will be set forth in the PWS of individual awarded task orders under this multiple award IDIQ contract.

C.3.2.3 Regulatory Requirements

The contractor shall comply with the regulations for compliance task orders that include CAA, CWA, RCRA, SDWA, EPCRA, Oil Pollution Act of 1990, TSCA, and FIFRA.

In addition, APG has current permit requirements and potential future consent order requirements. The table 1 contains the major environmental laws impacting environmental actions at APG and table 2 contains a list of major APG permits as follows:

Clean Air Act (CAA)

APG is located in a “non‐attainment” area for ozone and fine particulate matter.

Consequently, development actions must be evaluated to determine whether their resulting air emissions may contribute to adverse air quality. APG has two

Title V permits with 132 permitted sources. In addition, APG’s air program supports 5‐10 new permits to construct annually.

(CWA), as amended

APG owns over 32,700 acres of the Chesapeake Bay. Under a General NPDES permit, APG is required to implement best management practices (including construction site runoff control, post construction storm water management, detection and elimination of illicit discharges, etc.) to prevent and control pollution from storm water. A State‐approved plan must be prepared for any earth disturbance of 5,000 square feet or more, or for 100 cubic yards or more of cut or fill, to prevent erosion and sediment from escaping the job site and entering the surface waters of Maryland. APG is also required to meet nutrient and sediment reductions for the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load

(TMDL) mandated by EPA in response to Executive Order 13508 to Protect and

Restore the Chesapeake Bay. APG is currently working with the state and four surrounding counties to implement measures to meet the allocations set in the

TMDL. Any impacts to wetlands, wetland buffer and 100 year floodplain must be authorized. Federal agencies are required to ensure that projects with the potential to impact wetlands are to first avoid wetland impacts, followed by minimization of impacts, and finally, appropriate compensation for unavoidable impacts. The CWA, as amended, also contains requirements applicable to APG relating to oil spill contingency planning. APG currently stores approximately 2.8 million gallons of oil subject to these contingency planning provisions. APG is in violation of new water quality standards that require enhanced nitrogen removal at the Edgewood Waste Water Treatment Plant.

Coastal Zone

Management Act

APG must evaluate every action on the installation for impacts on Maryland’s coastal resources and consistency to the maximum extent practicable with

Maryland’s Coastal Management Program and enforceable policies. Initially reviewed through the NEPA process, projects that have a reasonably foreseeable effect on Maryland’s coastal resources must provide more detailed information to the appropriate state agency.

Cultural Resources

Laws including

ARPA, NHPA and

NAGPRA

APG’s Cultural Resource Program tracks over 1137 historic or potentially historic buildings (many of them in poor condition), monitors/evaluates an estimated

9000 acres of land with high archaeological potential and over 1,100 known or suspected archaeological sites (58 documented with the State Historic

Preservation Office), and corresponds with ten federally recognized Indian tribes.

APG maintains and monitors 22 historic cemeteries. In the past 5 years, 435 acres underwent a Phase I archeological survey. Based on the results of that survey, 20 of these acres underwent a Phase II archeological survey.

Major Environmental Laws Impacting Environmental Operations at APG

Emergency

Planning and

Community Right‐

To‐Know Act

APG’s 90+ tenants use over 19 million pounds of hazardous materials at over 300 locations. APG submits Tier II and Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) reports to EPA and MDE annually.

Endangered

Species Act (ESA) and Bald and

Golden Eagle

Protection Act

APG has two Federally listed endangered species (Shortnose Sturgeon and

Atlantic Sturgeon) and one Federally protected species (Bald Eagle). In addition, the installation has identified 41 species of State listed rare, threatened, or endangered vascular plants. Management plans are in development for the two sturgeon species. APG’s Bald Eagle Management Plan adaptively manages 500‐ meter buffer zones around active eagle nests and communal roosts to allow military missions to continue while limiting negative impacts to the eagles.

Impacts to State listed plants are minimized by avoidance procedures where possible.

Fish and Wildlife

Conservation Act

APG is required to protect and enhance existing fish and wildlife thorugh land and water conservation programs and utilization of sound management practices.

National

Environmental

Policy Act (NEPA)

APG’s NEPA program processes approximately 1000+ Records of Environmental

Consideration and 12 to 15 Environmental Assessments a year. Because of APG’s history, the presence of UXO, the extent of possible environmental contamination, and the bald eagle population, NEPA reviews are performed for every major and minor construction, demolition, and renovation action. APG’s

NEPA reviews also assess the impacts of training, testing and unique RDT&E missions at APG.

Pollution

Prevention Act

In accordance with Pollution Prevention Act, AR 200‐1 and EO 13423, APG’s

Pollution Prevention program encourages the use of environmentally preferable products, conducts pollution prevention opportunity assessments, manages reduce, reuse, recycle initiatives, and provides training (i.e. green procurement, hazardous materials tracking, and source reduction).

Resource

Conservation and

Recovery Act

(RCRA)

In accordance with RCRA Subtitle C and the COMAR 26.13, APG operates a permitted hazardous waste storage facility offering a post‐wide collection system, waste tracking, compliant storage, internal audits, and training. There are currently 9 RCRA Part B permitted facilities, 12 less than 90‐day sites, and 300‐400 satellite accumulation sites. Over 1,800 personnel are trained and over 2,695 tons of hazardous, industrial, medical, and universal waste were managed and tracked in CY2011 from cradle to grave. In accordance with Subtitle D of RCRA, the

Environmental Division’s solid waste program tracks solid waste generated, solid waste disposed, cost of solid waste disposal, amount of solid waste that is recycled, and costs and revenues associated with solid waste recycling.

Approximately 48,130 tons of solid waste are tracked and managed each year.

Over 52 USTs are managed in accordance with Subtitle I of RCRA, COMAR regulations, APG’s Oil Operations Permit, and amendments to the CWA.

Safe Drinking Water

Act (SDWA)

Approximately 2,380 acres of APG property lie within a portion of the groundwater recharge zone for the Harford County and the City of Aberdeen drinking water well fields. APG is required (by a memorandum of agreement between APG and the City of Aberdeen and APGR 200‐7), to restrict and monitor mission activities in these two Source Water Protection Areas where drinking water supplies, serving up to 30,000+ Harford County residents, are located. APG currently owns and operates the Van Bibber drinking water plant for the

Edgewood Area and is responsible for sampling and reporting on drinking water consumed by on post personnel that originates from the Van Bibber plant and from potable wells on the Aberdeen & Edgewood sides of Post.

Sikes Act

APG’s Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP) is based on a prescription area approach that divides the installation into 33 geographic regions based on watersheds and military mission. 58 projects were projected for the

2009‐2014 time period covered by the INRMP. Of these, 24 projects are in progress or have been completed. Successful implementation of this INRMP requires cooperation with GSOs and Garrison activities.

Toxic Substances

Control Act (TSCA)

Because so many buildings at APG are at least 50 years old, many renovation and demolition projects need lead and asbestos surveys before work can proceed.

There are still some transformers in service at APG containing PCBs and there are

PCB‐contaminated areas in Edgewood.
