The proper DOT shipping name, UN numbers, EPA waste number, generator information, and accumulation start date on the label must be filled out. The label must be placed in the upper third of the drum/container. Drums/containers shall be kept closed except when adding waste. Hazardous waste drums must be stored in an area authorized by the COR.

1. All drums used to store hazardous waste must be non-leaking and safe to handle. Drums that are rusty, dented, or leaking should be over-packed. Drums and/or over-packs must be purchased by the Contractor. All drums purchased by the Contractor must be DOT approved for containing Hazardous Waste which may include the following specification numbers 5B, 17E or 17H. The specification numbers are stamped on the bottom of the drum. The contractor shall be responsible to see that proper containers are used. All hazardous waste sites upon the date of receiving hazardous waste must be inspected weekly. Hazardous waste containers can only be stored for 90 days after the accumulation start date

24. Storage of oils, greases, chemicals, or other liquids will require a fully contained facility for spill prevention and security. A minimum of 40 pounds (18 kg) of absorbent material per 44 gallons (167 liters) of chemical/oil/grease will be on hand for spill control. POL storage larger than 55 gallons requires secondary containment. This may be accomplished by a double-walled container or by a catch basin. Siting of this will be approved by the COR.

24. All spills shall be reported by dialing 911 and giving information as to spill location, type of material and estimated quantity, and if the spill is contained.

Release of the site by the Contractor will be accompanied by a final site review, at which time site deficiencies will be noted. The Contractor will have 14 calendar days to correct deficiencies. Final contract payment will be withheld pending completion of the deficiency list.

24. Universal and toxic wastes: Universal wastes include batteries, fluorescent tubes, other mercury containing bulbs, and mercury containing thermostats. Some of these items may be left in a building before demolition or remodeling. Toxic wastes include asbestos, lead based paint and PCBs. Asbestos and lead based paint will be abated before demolition or remodeling; however, older light fixtures may have ballasts which contain dielectric fluid with PCBs. All batteries (usually lead acid), fluorescent tubes, mercury containing bulbs, mercury containing thermostats, and older light ballasts with PCBs will be carefully collected in labeled containers in accordance with all applicable laws. Ideally these items will be recycled; however, disposal may be used when recycling costs are not reasonable. All recycling and disposal will be done in accordance with applicable laws.

24. Asbestos and Lead-Based Paint: The Contractor is cautioned that materials in and around this project may contain asbestos or be coated with Lead-Based Paint (LBP). The government will make every effort to locate and identify all Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) and LBP prior to bidding; however, this is not always possible. These materials are often hidden and cannot be discovered until after demolition has begun. The failure of the government to identify all ACM and LBP in no way relieves the Contractor from Contractor’s legal obligation to comply with state and federal regulations regarding the handling of asbestos, lead, or LBP. If suspected asbestos containing materials or LBP surfaces are encountered, immediately cease work and notify the Contracting Officer and the project manager immediately. Do not conduct or continue with any work that will violate any DoD, local, state or federal regulations regarding asbestos, lead, or LBP. If suspected materials or surfaces have not been disturbed, secure and post signs in the area where the materials are located to ensure that they are not disturbed. If the suspected materials have already been disturbed, secure and post signs in the area where the material was originally located, any areas to which materials have been moved, and any containers that suspect materials may have been placed in. Take all necessary steps to ensure that materials are not further disturbed, moved, or disposed of until directed to do so by the Contracting Officer. Failure to notify the government promptly or failure to comply with state and federal regulations will be grounds for termination of their contract and may result in other appropriate civil and/or criminal actions. "The Contractor will be fully responsible for any and all fines or other penalties resulting from his acts and /or omissions pursuant to law and regulation. At the Pre-Construction Conference, the contractor will be required to sign the "Contractor's Notification of Hazardous Materials Requirements" at the end of this Section. The government will perform asbestos and lead-based paint surveys for every renovation and demolition project. These surveys shall be posted on site prior to starting any work and must be maintained on site until the project has been completed.

24. Standards for Demolition and Renovation: For demolition and renovation the contractor shall comply with 40 CFR 61.145 and the Utah Administrative Code R307-801. The contractor shall complete the applicable Utah Division of Air Quality notification form with the assistance of the COR.

Construction projects which disturb less than one (1) acre but are part of a larger common plan of development greater than one acre must obtain coverage under the permit. To obtain the permit the contractor must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI), and the required fee to the State of Utah, Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Water Quality. (Application may be made on-line at https://secure.utah.gov/stormwater/main.html). Contractor shall submit and receive approval of the UPDES permit before starting construction.

24. All items of geological or archeological interest such as fossils, articles of value or antiquity and structures or other remains or relics discovered during excavation or surface work are and will remain the property of the Army.
