- Description
- Underground Storage Tank Technical Guidance Manuals for Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands. The U.S. Army Engineer District, Honolulu is conducting market research (for informational purposes only) to identify potential sources with the capacity and technical capability necessary to perform successfully under the requirement described herein. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES. The subject requirement will provide for the preparation of two technical guidance manuals to support the underground storage tank (UST) programs in Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands (CNMI). The guidance manuals will implement the applicable laws ( 10 GCA Chapter 76: Underground Storage of Hazardous Substances Act for Guam and Chapter 65-100 of the CNMI Administrative Code for the CNMI) in each jurisdiction. Neither jurisdiction has an established technical guidance manual but both have expressed an interest in adopting a similar style and format as the State of Hawaii, Department of Health. These new manuals will provide guidance and technical assistance to owners, operators (or other responsible parties) and their consultants/contractors specifically on the issues of: (1) response to spills, overfills, and suspected releases; (2) release response to confirmed releases; and (3) permanent UST closures. These manuals will set the basis for good quality closure and release response work in each jurisdiction. In addition, the manuals will set the stage for better all-around communication of actions and work-products among all parties, public and private. The manuals will articulate and provide readers a clear understanding of the regulatory positions of the jurisdiction and the expectation for work performance and products. The manuals will yield more informed environmental decision-making on the part of the UST owners and operators and also their consultants/contractors. These manuals will set forth the specific types of actions which owners and operators must undertake, and the time frames for undertaking them in order to comply with the applicable rule or regulation. The manuals are intended to help owners and operators to better plan for UST-related work and to properly document such actions in order to demonstrate compliance with the Guam or the CNMI regulations. The manuals are intended to educate and sensitize owners and operators to the nature and magnitude of some of the tasks necessary in order to comply with the Guam or the CNMI regulations. Finally, the manuals are intended to standardize the approaches and submittals to the responsible Government office.
