Background: Aberdeen Proving Ground is a major U.S. Army research, development, test and evaluation facility located 25 miles northeast of Baltimore, MD just off the I-95 corridor. The federal facility occupies thousands of acres of land and water resources, and hosts large numbers of engineers, scientists, technicians and support personnel engaged in research, development, testing, facility and vehicle maintenance activities. In aggregate, APG generates significant quantities of various hazardous and industrial wastes, and is considered a large quantity hazardous waste (HW) generator per federal and state HW regulations. The US Army Garrison APG (USAGAPG) is charged with overseeing the tracking, characterization, collection, storage and disposal of installation-generated HWs. To help meet this requirement, the Garrison Directorate of Public Works manages two HW receiving and storage facilities where wastes are marshaled and stored prior to off-site shipment and disposal. These facilities are geographically separated on the Proving Ground: the larger, primary facility is located in the APG's Edgewood area; the smaller facility approximately 10 miles northeast in APG's Aberdeen area. Contract support is required for the operation of these facilities, for waste sampling and analysis, and HW tracking and reporting. B.Scope of Services. Required services include the following: 1.) Daily operation of the USAGAPG's two HW storage facilities in both the Proving Grounds' Edgewood and Aberdeen areas in compliance with all applicable federal, state, local regulatory standards, and state and federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued permits governing activities at these locations. Services include the review and approval of customer-generated electronic turn-in documents and waste profiles, waste acceptance, receipt, intra facility movement, segregation, storage, inspection and preparation for off-site shipment and disposal by a separate contractor. Evaluate electronic waste analysis and turn-in data for completeness and accuracy. Inspect waste containers, container storage areas, supporting infrastructure (e.g., lighting, door locks), engineering controls (e.g., ventilation), and safety equipment (e.g., emergency eyewashes and showers) utilizing checklists and information prescribed in site SOPs, RCRA permits, and state/federal hazardous waste and safety regulations, as applicable. Pre-coordinate special projects such as lab packing services at customer sites and maintain written customer logs for all fielded customer queries. 2.) Waste sampling and analysis services; includes the collection of waste samples from piles, containers, tanks and other locations, the off-site laboratory analysis of these samples, and reporting of analytical results. Must be able to determine appropriate waste sampling and analysis requirements needed to satisfactorily characterize APG's hazardous and industrial wastes for safe, off-site disposal. Furnish and maintain all required sampling equipment (e.g., photo-ionization detector, Draeger pumps, ladles, spoons/trowels, bomb, etc. ) and on-hand 30-day supply of consumable sampling containers, preservatives, distilled water, wipes, shipping coolers, etc. needed to support contractor and APG customer hazardous and industrial waste sampling requirements. Supplies shall meet sample collection, preservation and storage requirements specified in current version of SW 846, Clean Water Act (40 CFR 136) and Standard Methods for Water and Wastewater Analysis, as applicable. Perform routine sampling requiring the use of OSHA level C or D PPE of unconfined environmental media (i.e., soil and water), containers, tanks, secondary containment structures and equipment. On occasion, screen and/or sample containers/tanks of unknown wastes requiring the use of level B PPE when the risks associated with such actions are deemed acceptable as documented by approved risk assessment. Select and document number of samples to be collected, sampling methods to be employed, safety considerations/actions to protect personnel, sample preservation and shipment procedures, and field QA/QC. Ensure actions are consistent with SW 846, Clean Water Act and government-approved SOPs and procedures. Use analytical laboratory (ies) that meet Department of Defense QA/QC requirements and provides reliable analytical information through the use of appropriate facilities, equipment, operating procedures, quality assurance/quality control, data validation and recordkeeping practices as outlined in the most recent edition of SW-846 (Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods), Clean Water Act Methods and applicable ISO/IEC 17025 standards. Must be able to provide required laboratory analysis of collected waste samples within specified time-frames following the methods identified in the current version of SW 846 and Clean Water Act methods. Return results for rapid turn-around within 48 hours, and those for normal turn-around within 7 calendar days. Analytical reports will comply, as applicable, with reporting requirements found in Appendix A to Department of Defense Quality Systems Manual for Environmental Laboratories, version 5.0. Must be able to comply with applicable DOT and/or US Postal System regulations for sample shipment. 3.) Provide HW data entry, updating, cost accounting, reporting and archiving to ensure accurate, compliant and cradle-to-grave tracking of all managed hazardous and industrial wastes. Major tasks include tracking of approximately 8,000 to 10,000 containers per year; maintaining manifest data for approximately 250-300 annual off-site waste shipments; cross-checking disposal task orders issued by the government to separate waste disposal contractor; scanning, organizing, filing and archiving waste shipment packages; preparation of customer activity cost accounting packages; and preparation of various weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual and biennial reports. 4.) Emergency Preparedness and Response to include conducting monthly emergency preparedness and safety meetings and/or practice exercises; maintain at each storage facility an adequate supply of protective clothing, spill response kits, drain cover mats, drums, sorbents, and other supplies to respond to contingencies within the confines of the EA and AA hazardous waste storage facilities. Maintain a written inventory of all stocked, on-site spill response supplies and equipment and update monthly. Personnel shall be able to recognize hazardous conditions, notify response authorities, gather data other more qualified first responders, and provide stand-off spill/release containment actions such as the placement of sorbent socks to prevent the release of wastes to storm drains and/or mitigate negative environmental impacts. Assist in or perform waste cleanup when it has been determined by competent government authority (e.g., Fire Department or Installation Safety Office) safe to do in OSHA level C PPE or less. 5.) Personnel performing under this requirement must meet current OSHA, DOT and RCRA training requirements.
