of recyclable/salvageable materials.

4.4.2 Chillers, pumps, HVAC units, and similar equipment must be logged on an applicable inventory/certification document prior to turn-in to recycling yard (on DD Form 1348). The form will be used to track the removal of units from facilities, refrigerant removal certification (if applicable), and a chain of custody from removal technician thru supply manager to recycling technician. The serial number and facility number will be listed on each form and one form may contain more than one like item. Recycling Yard personnel will verify document to items turned in, sign the document, and retain a file copy. Contractor shall submit this form to the KO. Additionally,
damaged HVAC system may be accepted as scrap metal at the FSGA Recycling
Scrap Metal Yard, Building 1143, or the HAAF Recycling Yard, Building 728, provided
any and all freon has been certified as being removed from the system.

4.4.3 Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Requirements

4.4.3.1 Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM)

4.4.3.2 If ACM will either be disturbed or removed, the contractor must perform asbestos abatement, containment, disposal and a 10-day notification to the Georgia
Environmental Protection Division (GA EPD), as required by the Georgia Asbestos
Safety Act, Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 12-12-1. The disposal of ACM
must be in accordance with both the GA EPD and Occupational Safety and Health
Administration regulations.

912-767-1234 / Craig.W.Christopher.civ@mail.mil) must be provided a copy of the 10-
day notification at the time the contractor informs GA EPD of their intent to properly
abate the ACM. A copy of the Georgia asbestos shipment record must also be provided
to the TSCA POC.

4.4.3.3.2 If survey results, as reviewed by the Installation TSCA POC (Craig Christopher at 912-767-1234 / Craig.W.Christopher.civ@mail.mil), indicate LBP removal is necessary, the contractor will be required to collect, contain, and dispose of the LBP off-Post in accordance with local, state, and Federal regulations. The contractor will be required to provide the dispos al manifest to the TSCA POC.

4.4.4 REQUIRED SUBMITTAL ITEM: LBP survey must be provided to the TSCA POC, as
applicable. The LBP disposal manifest must be provided to the TSCA POC if LBP
removal was determined necessary by the TSCA POC

4.4.4.1 Installing Storage Tanks on Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield

4.4.4.2 Underground Storage Tank Moratorium.

4.4.4.3 The installation of any underground storage tank and associated piping for the purpose of containing regulated and/or hazardous substances is strictly prohibited in the case where at least 10% of the total volume (tank + piping) is below the surface of the ground. Similarly, tanks in vaults for the purpose of installing tanks below grade are not acceptable.

4.4.4.4 Design Requirements for Aboveground Storage Tanks

4.4.4.5 Provide appropriate secondary containment (40 CFR 112.8(c)(2)). All aboveground storage tanks used for the purpose of storing regulated and/or hazardous substances must be double-walled. In order for a tank to be considered double-walled, the interstitial space between the inner and outer wall must be able to be inspected visually or the interstitial space must be equipped with a sensor capable of alarming in case of liquid in the interstice (access to the interstice must also allow for the periodic removal of liquids).

4.4.4.6 Provide tertiary containment (in accordance with 40 CFR 112.8(c)(3)). All
aboveground storage tanks must be placed on an impervious diked concrete
housekeeping pad designed to catch spills caused from transferring substance
to/from the tank. This housekeeping pad must come with a valve that allows for the
discharge of rainwater from the diked pad after a visual inspection has been done to
determine that the water is clean.

4.4.4.7 Provide Instrumentation (Provide good engineering practices to avoid unwanted discharges, 40 CFR 112.8(c)(8)))

1. All aboveground storage tanks must come with a high liquid level alarm that emits
both an audible and visual signal to alert operators that the tank must be emptied
before further use.

2. The tank must also be equipped with a level gauge that allows for determining
the level of liquid in the tank.

3. In the case of any tank equipped with a pump for the purpose of dispensing
of a stored substance, the pump must have an automatic cutoff to prevent
overfilling of a container.

4.4.4.8 Provide Labeling. All above ground storage tanks should be labeled IAW
all applicable local, state, federal laws, or industry standard. At a minimum, the tank
should display an appropriate hazard warning, material ID, and storage capacity.

4.4.4.9 Removing Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) on Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield

4.4.4.10 Tank Removal.
Note to ENGINEER - The Georgia Underground Storage Tank Management
Program (GA USTMP) requires the removal of tanks after they have fulfilled their
useful purpose and have been out of service for a period of twelve (12) months.
Be aware that some tanks do NOT meet current tank standards but have an
exemption from those standards based on their current use (e.g, heating oil
tanks). If the use changes, those exemptions may no longer apply and the tank
must be removed and if still needed will require replacement with an above
ground tank.

4.4.5 Removal must follow the standards for removal and closure of registered tanks as outlined in the Georgia Underground Storage Tank Management Program (GA
USTMP) guidance document (ref GA Rules 391-3-15-.11). As a minimum oil samples
must be taken and analyzed from the excavated pit's walls and floor. A groundwater
sample must be taken if a soil sample is not possible from beneath the UST. Soil and
groundwater samples must be tested for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX), total petroleum hydrocarbons-diesel range organics (TPH-DRO), and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The USTs and associated piping must be removed and triple rinsed with water. Rinse water must be containerized (in drums or a tank) and analytical testing conducted by a certified Georgia laboratory, so the product can be correctly coded/classified on a Non-hazardous Manifest signed by an authorized representative from the Installation DPW Environmental Division. Disposal of materials (soil/rinseate) must be coordinated with the Installation DPW Environmental Division.
