About this file
This is a Record of Environmental Consideration (REC #26-025) issued by the Directorate of Public Works, Environmental Division at Fort Jackson. The document addresses environmental requirements for a post-wide tree removal contract to be executed by a contractor. The project involves removal of hazardous or damaged trees, stump grinding, and debris removal/cleanup throughout the Cantonment Area and Ranges. The Point of Contact must consult with the Environmental Division Wildlife Chief to identify and obtain approval for hazardous or damaged trees before removal. The REC approval deadline is January 30, 2026, and the document indicates the project has not yet been initiated.
The REC outlines five key environmental and natural resource requirements: (1) trees cannot be utilized by Forestry; (2) trees marked with two white or two green painted bands are red-cockaded woodpecker cavity trees and must not be cut or damaged, with the Contractor Required Officer to coordinate with the DPW Wildlife Branch for cavity tree locations, and tree removal should occur between August and March to minimize impacts to nesting migratory birds; (3) a Storm Water Permit is not required, but soil disturbance must be reseeded or have ground cover installed to prevent erosion; (4) yard waste and land-clearing debris must be chipped on-site or delivered to a permitted South Carolina composting/wood chipping facility, with the Contractor providing completion documentation to the Contracting Officer within 10 days; and (5) the Contractor must manage hazardous substances in accordance with Federal, State, local, and military regulations, including compliance with the Fort Jackson Hazardous Substance Management Plan and Spill Response Plan. The project is categorically excluded from National Environmental Policy Act review under Department of the Army CATEX f(1) for routine repair and maintenance activities.

8. The Environmental Division (ENV) has reviewed the proposed project. The project must be completed as described above, or a new REC request form must be submitted if this project is modified or expanded in a manner that was not considered in this review or has not been initiated within one year. This REC is not an approval to begin the project, it only outlines the environmental and natural resource requirements as follows:
a. Forestry is unable to utilize the trees in this proposed project area. For additional information, contact
b. The proposed action has the potential to adversely impact habitat of the red-cockaded woodpecker, an endangered species of wildlife. Trees on Fort Jackson marked with two white or two green painted bands are red-cockaded woodpecker cavity trees. These marked trees must not be cut or damaged in any way. The COR shall coordinate with the DPW Wildlife Branch to obtain the locations of these cavity trees that must be protected. We recommend tree removal be performed, if practicable, during the months of August through March to minimize adverse impacts to nesting migratory birds. This project will have no impacts to wetlands. For additional information, contact
c. A Storm Water Permit is not required. Any soil disturbance created by tree removal must be reseeded to permanent vegetation or have appropriate ground cover installed after work completion to prevent erosion. For additional information, contact
d. Yard waste and land-clearing debris cannot be placed in a trash container, it must be: (1) chipped on-site; or (2) delivered to a composting and/or wood chipping facility permitted by the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services. The Contractor must provide documentation to the COR upon completion of the project, demonstrating that the waste was taken to a permitted facility (including date, type of waste, weight or volume, and name of permitted facility). The COR shall provide a copy of this report to ENV within 10 days of project completion. For additional information, contact
e. The Contractor shall manage hazardous substances, including marking paints, aerosol cans, fuels and fluids needed for vehicles and equipment, in accordance with Federal, State, local, and military regulations. The Fort Jackson Hazardous Substance Management Plan (HSMP) may be used for guidance. The Contractor is responsible for spill prevention, training, clean up, disposal, and reporting, and must comply with the Fort Jackson Spill Response Plan (page 15 of the HSMP). The Contractor shall take any unused hazardous substances or other Contractor supplied items with them regularly to avoid storage violations, and upon completion of the project. These items shall not be left on Fort Jackson. For additional information or a copy of the HSMP, contact
