PROTECTION

PART 1 – GENERAL

1.1 RELATED DOCUMENTS

A. Drawings and general provisions of the Contract, including General and Supplementary Conditions and other Division 01 Specification Sections, apply to this Section.

1.2 SECTION INCLUDES (SCOPE)

A. The work covered by this section consists of furnishing all labor, materials, and equipment and performing all work required for the prevention of environmental degradation during and as a result of construction operations under this contract. These requirements are in addition to any environmental protection requirements in other provisions of these specifications. For the purpose of this specification, environmental pollution is defined as the presence of chemical, physical, or biological elements or agents, not naturally occurring at the site, which adversely affect human health or welfare; unfavorably alter ecological balances important to human life;

affect other species of importance to man; or degrade the utility of the environment for aesthetic and recreational purposes. The control of environmental pollution by the contractor requires consideration of air, water, and land and involves noise control, solid waste management and management of radiant energy and radioactive materials, as well as other pollutants. This section also requires the protection of cultural and historic resources.

B. CONTRACTOR shall coordinate the work of this section with the work called for under the various sections of the Contract.

C. Contact the Environmental Office (EO) through the COTR, concerning the content of these requirements.

1.3 CONTRACTOR’S GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE OBLIGATIONS

A. CONTRACTOR and any subcontractor, agent or representative shall comply with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations providing for environmental protection and pollution control and abatement including but not limited to the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), Toxic Substances Control Act, Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, Coastal Zone Management Act, Endangered Species Act, National Historic Preservation Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, Oil Pollution Act and Pollution Prevention Act.

CONTRACTOR has the duty to determine for itself where such laws and regulations apply.

Although the CONTRACTOR may request assistance from the Contracting Officer in delineating applicable environmental laws and regulations, CONTRACTOR has an independent responsibility to make its own determination and to do so in a timely fashion.

Accordingly, CONTRACTOR will, to the greatest extent practicable, use materials, processes and techniques that will avoid the creation of hazardous waste. Prior to generation of hazardous materials and hazardous waste on a federal facility under this contract, CONTRACTOR shall coordinate all planned activities regarding hazardous materials and hazardous waste with the EO through the COTR. Under no circumstances will CONTRACTOR bring hazardous waste onto the facility.

B. Disposal of Non-RCRA Wastes: All non-hazardous wastes generated on the facility as a result of this contract must be disposed of properly. Prior to creation of such wastes, the CONTRACTOR shall submit to the EO, through the COTR, a plan for disposal of wastes. Such plan shall include the types of waste to be created, how they shall be stored, managed and disposed. CONTRACTOR shall follow this plan once it has been approved by the Contracting Officer/COTR. Such wastes will not be created until approved by the Contracting Officer/COTR.
