Treated water must meet specified effluent limits before discharge, with PFAS levels below 50 ppt. Sludge, filters, and untreatable PFAS-contaminated water must be disposed of at approved off-base facilities. The contractor is also responsible for used oil fuel recycling, spill response, and providing monthly reports.
The Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) is a comprehensive document designed to ensure environmental compliance and protection during project execution. It covers various aspects, including general project overview, management of natural resources, protection of historical and archaeological resources, and control of air emissions, drinking water, stormwater, and wastewater. The EPP details procedures for managing pesticides, hazardous materials, and various waste streams such as solid waste, industrial waste, recyclable materials, lead-based paint, asbestos-containing materials (ACM), hazardous waste (HW), and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) waste. It outlines requirements for waste characterization, minimization, storage, transportation, and disposal, including the need for licensed transporters and disposal facilities. The plan also addresses contractor hazardous waste accumulation points (HWAP), contaminated soil and sludge management, aboveground and underground storage tanks (ASTs/USTs), and spill prevention and control measures. The EPP mandates the appointment of an environmental manager, employee training, and the submission of various supporting documents, permits, and certifications to ensure adherence to environmental regulations and safe project operations.
