RCRA may be applied by regulatory agencies to required remediation for past improper hazardous waste disposal practices and spills that resulted in a threat to the environment or human health.
     2.3. Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) and Oil Water Separator (OWS): The contractor may be required to remove abanTOned or existing UST’s that are no longer needed. UST’s shall be decommissioned in accordance with API regulations, (e.g., API 1604, “Removal and Disposal of Used Underground Petroleum Storage Tanks”). The contractor shall perform closure assessments at the time of removal. It is also the contractor’s responsibility to conduct all operations involving UST’s in accordance with the rules and regulations of all local, state and federal agencies including local fire officials, the state Fire Marshal and the state and federal Environmental Protection Agencies. The contractor shall be prepared to obtain, or assist in obtaining, all necessary permits to conduct any work required without delaying the project. The contractor shall prepare and submit closure reports.
     2.4. Risk Based Corrective Action (RBCA): Risk Based Corrective Actions shall follow a streamlined approach in which exposure and risk assessment practices are integrated with traditional components of the corrective action process to insure, that appropriate and cost effective remedies are selected, and that limited resources are properly allocated. ASTM E 1739: “Guide to Risk-Based Corrective Action at Petroleum Release Sites” shall be used as guidance.
     2.5. Phase II Environmental Baseline Surveys (Phase II EBS): The Contractor shall determine the presence, or absence, of contamination at identified site(s), and the type, extent and degree of any such contamination, then prepare a formal report containing these findings. The process is similar to a CERCLA Site Investigation. The field work/site investigation part of Phase II EBS’s shall follow CERCLA site investigation guidance (see 2.1). Otherwise EBS guidance controls.
     2.6. Firing Ranges and Target Areas: Restoration activities at Firing Ranges and Target Areas shall comply with the requirements of the Final hazardous Waste Military Munitions Rule, (Federal Register, February 12, 1997), and the subsequent regulation. Investigation activities shall follow CERCLA guidance (see 2.1). Typically, the contamination the Contractor shall be responsible for does not include Unexploded Ordinance (UXO) or ammunition.
     2.7. Crash Site Assessment/Investigation: The contractor shall be required to perform initial investigation, assessment and restoration of aircraft crash sites. The assessment shall include all work necessary to evaluate the impacts to the environment and make recommendations for further investigation or restoration if necessary. Restoration shall include all actions necessary to return the site to its original condition.
     2.8. Program Management: The Contractor may be required to provide or update the Cost to Complete (CTC), the Schedule to Complete (STC), or gather program data. The guidelines for preparing this information will be provided by the government at the time the work is requested.

and hazardous substances. The One-Plan was developed under the auspices of the NRT, with participation by industry and environmental groups, state agencies, EPA, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), the OSHA, the Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA) in the Department of Transportation, and the Minerals Management Service (MMS) in the Department of Interior. The guidance provides facilities with a common sense option for meeting multiple emergency planning requirements under nine different federal regulations. These federal regulations include:
  a.   EPA’s Oil Pollution Prevention Regulation (SPCC and Facility Response Plan Requirement) — 40 CFR Part 112.7(d) and 112.20-.21
 
  b.   MMS’s Facility Response Plan Regulation — 30 CFR Part 254
 
  c.   RSPA’s Pipeline Response Plan Regulation — 49 CFR Part 194
 
  d.   USCG’s Facility Response Plan Regulation — 33 CFR Part 154, Subpart F
 
  e.   EPA’s Risk Management Plan Programs (RMP) Regulation — 40 CFR Part 68 and Clean Air Act Section 112r
 
  f.   OSHA’s Emergency Action Plan Regulation — 29 CFR 1910.38(a)
 
  g.   OSHA’s Process Safety Standard — 29 CFR 1910.119
 
  h.   OSHA’s HAZWOPER Regulation — 29 CFR 1910.120
 
  i.   EPA’s Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Contingency Planning Requirements — 40 CFR Part 264, Subpart D, 40 CFR Part 265, Subpart D, and 40 CFR 279.52
     6.3. The guidance includes a core facility response plan for releases of oil and hazardous substances under existing federal laws. The core plan contains information that emergency responders will need to implement the initial stages of the response. The core plan will be supplemented with annexes that contain information such as a description of the facility’s incident command system and data on specific hazards at the facility required to meet specific federal regulatory requirements. Facility plans prepared in accordance with the guidance will satisfy facility emergency response planning requirements of the five agencies listed above and will be the federally preferred method of such planning. The One-Plan approach serves to minimize duplication of effort and unnecessary paperwork burdens.
     6.4. Program Management and Work Plan Preparation. The Contractor shall prepare a Work Plan detailing tasks, milestones, staff assignments, schedule, report formats, and deliverables. The Work Plan will be updated monthly with a progress report.
     6.5. Site Visit. The Contractor shall conduct a site visit to collect data in support of this project. One of these individuals on the site visit must be a licensed Professional Engineer.
          6.5.1. The Contractor shall collect information sufficient to develop an ICP that meets the requirements of the One Plan.
          6.5.2. The Contractor shall inspect all areas of the facility that may have a potential for release of hazardous material or petroleum product to the environment. This will include confirming the inventory of facility ASTs and underground storage tanks (USTs). Each tank system will be inspected by the Contractor to ensure they meet release prevention requirements. Deficiencies shall be noted in the ICP.
          6.5.3. Other information to be collected by the Contractor shall include data on hazardous material storage, its potential for release, the systems in place to prevent or contain a release, and the location, direction and potential receptors that may be affected by such a release. This will include identifying spill or release routes such as storm drainage or sanitary sewer collection systems. The ANGB will provide the Contractor with copies of the facility storm drainage and sanitary sewer collection layout.
          6.5.4. The Contractor shall inventory all spill containment equipment or supplies that are available at the facility. In addition, the Contractor shall review training records of those individuals who are considered “first responders” to not only report this information in the Plan, but to determine the adequacy of such training. The ICP will outline addition training that will be necessary.
     6.6. Draft Integrated ICP. The Contractor shall prepare a draft ICP that is consistent with the guidance developed by the NRT. It will fulfill all requirements of applicable federal, state or local hazardous material contingency planning and will follow the prescribed format in the One Plan Guidance. The Document will contain sufficient detail to allow ANG personnel to prevent or respond to a release of a hazardous material, but not overly voluminous that its size makes it unusable. It shall utilize maps and drawings whenever possible to facilitate planning and response.

PART THREE — ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING PROGRAMS
1. Purpose/Scope: Conducts studies and provide Documentation to integrate environmental concerns into every phase of the planning process for the Air National Guard (ANG). All work shall be in compliance with Air Force Instructions (AFI), President’s Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations and all other Federal laws, and state and local environmental regulations. Coordination of studies and Documentation is required by Executive Order (EO) 12372 (Interagency/Intergovernmental Coordination for Environmental Planning) with other Federal, state and local agencies to assure that ANG has included them in the planning process.
2. Master Plan Development
     2.1. General: The role of the ANG is to provide each ANG unit with adequate facilities to support the unit’s mission, programmed mission, and probable future missions. We must plan, design and build each unit’s environment with maximum flexibility to insure what we build today is sufficient and adaptable for the future. To do this we must broaden the involvement of all base and ANG organizations in the planning process.
     2.2. Master Plan: The long-range Master Plan becomes the basis for decisions on the built environment for the installation, and may have an impact on decisions for future missions. It becomes the basic planning tool for the installation and the ANG to insure an orderly development process to the installation, and provide future planners with the Documentation factors and rationale used in developing the plan. It provides local government, airport, and other military planners with the potential impact of our future growth on the surrounding area, and may prevent encroachment by these activities. It also identifies the need, and provides the justification for acquisition of additional real estate future development to control encroachment into areas that could inhibit the ANG’s development plan.
     2.3. Master Plan Development: This work consists of Developing a Long and Short Range Plan for each installation to guide it into the future, to support the construction programs presented to Congress and serve as the basis of daily implementation of all engineering programs at the installation. The plan can identify and/or reinforce the direction and requirements needed to support facility construction. Lack of planning can create a more costly execution of programs, thereby, requiring a larger funding base line.
     2.4. Plan Process: A seven-step process to develop a long-range plan, a short-range plan, Computer Aided Design (CADD) product(s) map tabs of existing conditions, photographs and back-up reports is outlined in this Document.
          Step 1: The ANG planning representative and ANG programmer for the installation attend a Criteria Review Conference (CRC) with the Contractor at the installation.
          Step 2: The Contractor shall survey the installation, prepare an existing base map CADD product, begin to develop map tabs and take/print photographs.
          Step 3: The Contractor shall meet with the air commander and his staff (including the Base Civil Engineer (BCE)) in conjunction with a Unit Training Assembly (UTA) or “drill” weekend. The primary purpose is to conduct interviews and discuss and determine the direction(s) the installation would like to take for future plan development.
          Step 4: The Contractor shall evaluate this information and prepare a minimum of 3 alternatives for each long range aircraft scenario identified in the CRC. It will be necessary to establish the constraints including the Building Setback Line for construction of all facilities for all aircraft types. Individual aircraft parking plans will be developed for the various types and numbers of aircraft identified at the CRC (showing the limits of each arrangement):
Note: A generic fighter aircraft parking spot with the width of an A-10 and the length of an F-15 will be used for developing fighter plans. The tail height of the F-15 will be used for meeting transitional surface clearances. KC-135 aircraft will be used for tanker plans. C-130 and C-17 aircraft will be used for transport plans. Other aircraft may include C-5, KC-10, 767 and 747 aircraft. Non-flying installations (no aircraft assigned) will have other facility and site requirements identified that will be the basis for the alternatives. These alternatives will be prepared for the Phase 1, Submittal of Long Range Alternatives Report along with an analysis of existing conditions at the installation.
     
Attachment 1
  December 1999

          Step 5: The ANG installation’s personnel will review the Phase 1 submittal report Documents. The Contractor shall be required to make a presentation of the alternatives to personnel at the installation.
          Step 6: The Contractor shall develop the draft book reports as a Phase 2, Submittal of Draft Reports. All information in the reports shall be complete in content, format and include any changes required by the supplied comments given. It shall be considered a mock-up of the final Document to be printed and will be reviewed and approved as such. All CADD products shall be presented in digitized form for electronic review and approval. All map tabs shall be submitted in blueprint form for review and approval. Any photographs required at this phase will be turned over to the appropriated agencies in completed form. The Single Sheet Summary Poster will be submitted in full-size format for review and approval. Color choices for the final printing of all reports and the Single Sheet Summary are to be marked on a few of the different types of exhibits (hand-colored or color Xerox) to reflect the position and a shade of each color). Panetone color sheet is to be submitted with each hand applied color representing a panetone sample.
          Step 7: The Contractor shall make all requested changes to the final Documents and proceed to have the final reports printed, CADD digitized products finalized, and tabs finalized. This is known as Phase 3, Submittal of Final Products.
     2.5. Plan Revisions: The Contractor shall provide seven final end product groups. The content and size of each are identified as follows:
          2.5.1. The Full Report, at 8 1/2" x 11" (width by height), contains nine chapters and is the most complete Documentation of the Master Plan work effort.
          2.5.2. The Executive Summary Report, at 8 1/2" x 11" (width by height), is a reprint of the first chapter from the full report and contains selected parts of other chapters. As stated by its title, this Document is for persons desiring a quick summary as opposed to the full report.
          2.5.3. The Executive Summary Single Sheet Poster, at 33" x 25 1/2" (width by height), is a large two-sided color print of limited information (condensed from the Executive Summary Report).
