This document outlines the Environmental Procedures (dated April 3, 2024) for contractors executing maintenance, renovation, and construction projects for the Ohio Army National Guard (OHARNG). It establishes comprehensive compliance requirements across federal, state, and local environmental regulations, emphasizing that project work cannot begin until the OHARNG Environmental Office approves a project-specific Environmental Work Plan. Key compliance directives detail rigorous protocols for emergency spill response, petroleum management, and erosion control—including obtaining Ohio EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) storm water permits and implementing Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWP3). The procedures mandate strict standards for identifying and abating hazardous materials such as asbestos, lead-based paint, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), requiring licensed specialists and proper waste profiling. Additionally, the document addresses natural and cultural resource protections, enforcing seasonal restrictions on tree cutting and mowing to protect migratory birds and endangered bat species, alongside preservation guidelines for historic structures. Strict rules govern pesticide application, requiring state-certified applicators, pre-approved chemicals from the State Pesticide Use List, and detailed daily reporting. Under no circumstances may contractors correspond directly with regulatory agencies without prior OHARNG coordination and approval.

This federal document is General Decision Number OH20260001, dated June 25, 2026, which establishes prevailing wage rates for heavy and highway construction projects across all 88 counties in the State of Ohio. Representing a critical component of federal and state public works contracts under the Davis-Bacon Act, this wage determination ensures standard labor rates and fringe benefits are applied to all covered laborers. The document details specific hourly wages and fringe benefit rates across various construction crafts, including bricklayers, stonemasons, cement masons, concrete finishers, carpenters, piledrivermen, divers, electricians, line construction workers, and power equipment operators. These rates are categorized by county, township, and localized union jurisdictions (such as BROH, CARP, ELEC, and ENGI), and account for regional wage variations. Additionally, the schedule defines specialized compensation, such as premium pay for "hot" work, layout and sawman duties, and high-altitude stack work. It also establishes pay structures for divers and heavy equipment operators based on machine classifications (Groups 1 through 7). Labor guidelines, including paid holidays and vacation structures, are outlined for specific electrician classifications. This general decision is subject to periodic updates, as indicated by the four modification numbers published between January and June 2026, and serves as the legally binding wage standard for contractors bidding on public heavy and highway infrastructure projects in Ohio.
