Environmental Review:

# Activities Potential impact/ Proposed mitigation measure Comment

1 Production of solid waste (construction debris, paint bucket)

Proliferation of invasive wildlife

Evacuate waste quickly after generation, and in any case, NLT the last day of works.

Possible contamination of drainage system with sediments and leachates from the construction debris

In case a temporary waste storage area is needed, minimize waste pile size and choose its location to avoid runoff contamination.

Please not that contractors are not allowed to use the recycling center of the base.

Loss of salvageable materials

Recycle waste to the maximum extent possible.

2 Storage and handling of hazardous materials, POL or hazardous waste (fuel for vehicles stored on-site, detergent)

Potential spills and soil and water contamination

Store and handle hazardous materials, POL and Hazardous Waste away from storm drainage system, in properly established designed and designated areas.

Place containers on secondary containment as appropriate.

Store absorbent materials close to the Hazardous Materials, POL or Hazardous Waste storage for a timely response to spills.

Spills caused by the contractor shall be cleaned on the spot, at contractor’s costs. All spills above 20 L should be reported to the COR for communication to Env. Div.

3 Various works on a building containing referenced in the Asbestos inventory

Possible encounter of Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) during works

The Asbestos inventory has been consulted to identify possible ACM in the building(s) concerned by this JOR. According to information provided by project proponent/project designer, works will be operated outside of the areas where ACM have been identified:

- Level 2 # 210A & B Computer room, old floor covering under the actual thermoglued linoleum covering

- Boiler room # 121 & roof near # 220B, chimney manhole

- Roof near # 220B, chimney pipe extending probably in the building

G-08: SITE MAINTENANCE AND FINAL CLEANING

During performance of works, all measures should be taken to avoid improper temporary storage of waste generated by works. In particular, emphasis will be put on POL (Petroleum, Oil and Lubricants) containing equipment or soiled waste/hazardous waste (scrap metal, contaminated soil) As soon as the work is finished, the contractor shall remove all his equipment, excess materials, debris, etc. generated by his work and will evacuate them outside US Government installations.

CHAPTER II

TECHNICAL PROVISIONS

SECTION 1

CLEANING

TP-1: Cleaning

TP-1-01 Cryogenic cleaning Cryogenic cleaning is a process similar to sandblasting but with solid CO2 or carbon ice. Carbon ice is projected on surfaces to be cleaned in a compressed air flux.

The principle of this cleaning is based on three simultaneous effects occurring when carbon ice comes into contact with the polluted surface.

The thermal effect comes from the difference of temperature between carbon ice (-78.2oC) and the surface to be cleaned. This difference provokes a thermal shock that will crack and shrink the pollution, which will get loose from the surface.

The kinetic effect, or mechanic effect, comes from the impact of carbon ice on the pollution. The resulting effect is a mechanic embrittlement of the pollution.

The physical effect of sublimation comes from the physical characteristics of CO2. The change of state of CO2 – from -78.2oC to 20oC (regular temperature) is a change from solid to gas without passing through the liquid phase. This is called sublimation. CO2 expands up to 500 times its volume and expels the pollution, already fragile, from its support. This very efficient process is a dry process which does not generate secondary waste. It preserves the surface of the supports by its very soft mechanical action. It is 2 to 4 times faster than the classical methods.

Safety equipment Cryogenic cleaning requires following safety equipment:

Ear plugs. As during cryogenic cleaning, the sound level can sometimes exceed 85 dB(A), it is recommended to wear ear plugs.

Gloves. Wearing gloves is recommended to prevent any risk of freezing due to carbon ice grains.

Protective glasses. To protect the eyes from volatile particles, it is recommended to wear protective glasses. It is also recommended to wear full equipment with helmet, visor and ear plugs.

Respiratory protection. According to the presence of dust or generated concentration of CO2, slight or heavy respiratory protection measures are necessary.

Long sleeve clothing. The temperature of dry ice may cause burns to the operator.

Carbon dioxide warning device. To detect the concentration of CO2 in the air, the personnel in charge with the cryogenic cleaning must wear an individual CO2 detector. It releases an alarm as soon as it reaches a critical concentration. Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation in order to prevent the build-up of a dangerous concentration of carbon dioxide.

Concern: Roof, beams, columns & crane including all items & appliances attached to these elements (i.e. cables, light fixtures, outlets, switches, etc…)

TP-1-02: General cleaning The contractor will remove all grease, film, dirt, smudges, dry soil, food remnants, water spots and other foreign matters, such as chewing gum residue from all the surfaces to be cleaned, table tops and underneath table tops and table legs. All movable items will be moved if needed. After cleaning, the surfaces will have a clean, uniform appearance with no streaks and stains. All moveable items will be moved back to their original position. No wipe marks will be visible after cleaning.

TP-1-04: Sweep Floors The entire area, to include stairways, landings, riser’s entrances, vestibules, lobbies and all walking surfaces to be swept shall be thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, dry soil, and other litter. After the floor has been swept, the floor surface including corners and abutments, shall be free of streaks, litter, and spots caused by spills, with no visible dust, soil, or other litter. Moveable items (chairs, trash receptacles, any and all easily moved items) shall be tilted or moved to access the floor surface to sweep underneath these items.

D. Preparation of support. Concrete supports must be mechanically prepared by shot blasting, milling or any other appropriate method, in order to remove chalking and get an open, adhering and clean surface.

Non-adhering concrete must be eliminated, and damaged areas such as gravel nests and holes must be completely cleared.

The repair of the support and filling of holes must be carried out with products of the same manufacturer.

Concrete supports must be coated with a primer or “drawn to zero” in order to get a plane surface.

Protruding parts must be eliminated, by sandblasting or else.

Dust and friable particles must be removed, preferably with an industrial vacuum cleaner.

E. Application temperature / Conditions / Limitations

• Room temperature : minimum + 10oC / maximum +30oC

• Temperature of the support: minimum + 10oC / maximum +30oC

• Relative humidity degree ≤ 80%

• Dew point: during application and hardening, the temperature of the support must be minimum 3oC above dew point

F. Application of the Paint. Before application of the paint, the humidity content of the support must be ≤ 4%.

1. Primer coat.

Application of an adhering primer coat with two-component epoxy resin. On the support, previously prepared as indicated above, apply the primer coat with a brush, roller or scraper. Be careful to apply a continuous, undamaged coat on the entire surface. If necessary, apply two coats of primer.

2. Basic coat

Apply self-leveling coat of two-component colored epoxy resin powdered with quartz sand.

Mix: 1 part of resin (A+B) + 1 part of quartz sand (0.1 – 0.30mm) Powdering: To refusal with granulates to be defined.

After complying with the covering time, spread the mixture uniformly with a plane or notched scraper, and directly pass the roller crossways to facilitate the leveling of the poured mass and so avoid air bubbles. Powder with quartz sand.

3. Sealing coat

After complying with the covering time and after elimination of sand in excess with a brush and an industrial vacuum cleaner, application of a two-component colored epoxy resin sealing coat.

Spread the resin with a hard rubber scraper and smoothen (crossways) with a microfiber roller with short plushy hairs.
