The disturbed areas shall be graded, backfilled, raked, and compacted. Areas located in grassed areas shall be backfilled with topsoil, raked free of rocks, and seeded. Areas located on asphalt or concrete shall be swept clean. Any and all waste products created during performance of the work shall be removed from the project site, packaged in an environmentally approved manner and disposed of OFF-POST at an environmentally approved disposal site. Fifty percent, at a minimum, of all construction and demolition (CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION (C&D)) wastes shall be diverted and recycled. C.1.4. Environmental Work Statement clause for all exterior work (SWPPP): Through the Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (AZPDES) permitting program, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) regulates the discharge of storm water from construction sites throughout the state including those on military installations. "Construction" refers to actions that result in a disturbance of the land, including clearing, grading, excavating, and other similar activities. It also includes "construction-related activities," areas that support the construction project such as stockpiles, borrow areas, concrete truck washouts, fueling areas, material storage areas and equipment storage areas. The AZPDES Storm water Program requires operators of construction sites one acre or larger (including smaller sites that are part of a larger common plan of development) to obtain authorization to discharge storm water under an AZPDES construction storm water permit. The Contractor is responsible for determining whether its construction site will exceed this minimum threshold with consideration of the definition provided above and if so, obtaining coverage under an AZPDES construction storm water permit. Obtaining coverage under an AZPDES permit entails preparing and implementing a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in accordance with ADEQ requirements and submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI) for coverage under the applicable AZPDES general permit. Once ADEQ receives the NOI, ADEQ then issues an authorization certificate to the Contractor. If a contractor has a sub-contractor working together on the same project, then the contractor and sub-contractor(s) will have to submit a NOI for the same job and separate authorization certificates will be issued to each party. If the Contractor determines that the project will not exceed the minimum threshold and does not submit an NOI and it is later determined that the threshold is exceeded, the Contractor will be required to stop all work until they have completed the above process. If the appropriate documentation is not provided to the Government prior to the start of construction or once the threshold is exceeded, the Contracting Officer will be notified of the failure to comply with a contract requirement, the ADEQ Enforcement Section will be notified, and other appropriate action will be taken to resolve the matter. The Contractor and any sub-contractor(s) will be liable for any fines levied by ADEQ. A critical component of the SWPPP is final site stabilization. This generally involves restoring the disturbed area to at least 70% of its former vegetative state. After implementing all aspects of the SWPPP, to include final site stabilization, the contractor submits a Notice of Termination to ADEQ, ending coverage under the AZPDES permit. An example SWPPP can be found at the following website: http://cfpub1.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/swppp.cfm The Contractor is encouraged to follow the format and content of the sample SWPPP. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to develop a SWPPP that meets applicable requirements; the Government will not review the Contractor SWPPP for compliance with applicable laws. The Contractor and any sub-contractor(s) shall provide a copy of the ADEQ Authorization Certificate and a copy of the SWPPP to the Government employee performing construction oversight prior to any construction or construction-related activities as defined above. The Contractor is encouraged to follow the format and content of the sample SWPPP. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to develop a SWPPP that meets applicable requirements; the Government will not review or approve the Contractor SWPPP for compliance with applicable laws. C.1.5. INSPECTION All work is subject to inspection and testing by the Government at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance, in accordance with FAR 52.246-12, Inspection of Construction. Government inspections and tests do not relieve the contractor of the responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures, nor does it constitute or imply Government acceptance of the work. The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the contractor of complying with the specified requirements, nor is the Government inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer's written authorization. C.1.6. 1354 WORKSHEET PREPARATION The contractor shall prepare a DD Form 1354 Information Worksheet near completion of the project and submit it to the Government prior to final inspection and acceptance.
