DEMONSTRATION THAT THE CONTRACTORS UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR NATURE OF THE ACQUISITION REQUIRES THE USE OF THE AUTHORITY CITED ABOVE (APPLICABILITY OF AUTHORITY)

CCWRD is the only POTW in the immediate area that can economically treat sewage with the RCRA domestic sewage exclusion, complying with surface water discharge limits imposed by the NV DEQ. Using the CCWRD to treat Creech's wastewater satisfies the requirements of FAR Part 6.302-1(b)(3) as it is the only option that allows the base to maintain environmental compliance and retain its RCRA domestic sewage exclusion.
