Introduction
For projects with the potential to cause sediment or erosion issues, the Centennial Project Manager (PM) will require
appropriate subcontractor(s) to submit and implement a site specific Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. This plan will
address storm-water management. A recommended format for a separate SWPPP is included in section 5 of this EPP.
This plan, hereafter referred to as the SWPPP, identifies the project specific type and location of erosion and sediment
controls to be provided including storm-water pollution prevention techniques, borrow areas, limited or non‐use areas and
features to be preserved. Each Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall be specific to the project of discussion. Drawings
showing locations of proposed temporary excavations or embankments for haul roads, stream crossings, material storage
areas, structures, sanitary facilities, limited or non‐use areas and stockpiles shall be part of each plan. Methods to control
runoff, including that potentially resulting from vehicular or heavy equipment traffic, as well as a means to contain
materials on the site will be explained and implemented as needed. All potentially involved personnel will be familiar with
the causes of pollution and soil erosion, with the contents of the SWPPP and with maintenance of the mitigation methods
and any additional pollution prevention measures. The SWPPP shall also include monitoring and reporting requirements to
assure that the control measures used are effective and are in compliance with applicable Federal, State and Local
regulations.
Summary of Requirements
a. Storm-water runoff is regulated on the local and at the State level, however the Federal Facility Compliance Act
requires that federal facilities comply with all local and state standards.
b. All construction activities will be conducted to prevent degradation of all water resources including ditches,
wastewater collection systems, treatment facilities and effluents.
c. Soil and/or water runoff including that caused by rapid or uncontrolled runoff into drainage systems will be planned
and implemented prior to commencing construction activities.
d. Sediment control will be implemented as a proactive approach to eliminate or reduce all types of erosion and runoff.
e. All connections to and discharges into the sanitary wastewater system, such as steam cleaning, require approval by
the Fort Lewis O&M Division.
f. Construction and design activities within wellhead protection areas require approval of O&M.
g. Use of borrow and fill pits will be approved by the O&M Division via a use permit.
h. Vehicle maintenance is not permitted near water bodies or in housing areas, barracks areas or parking lots.
i. Faucets, valves and other plumbing fixtures shall not be allowed to leak and will be turned off completely when not in
use. Every effort shall be maintained to conserve water.
j. (If applicable) A military installation, much like a county or city, operates under an NPDES permit. Industry and
construction within that installation or municipality must comply with specifically established requirements. Construction
projects for some regions must apply for coverage under the NPDES General Permit if the project results in disturbance of
one or more acres of land (including clearing, grading and excavation) AND the project discharges storm-water from the site
into a surface water or to a storm drain that discharges to surface water. The federal standard for compliance with an
NPDES permit specifies disturbance of more than five acres, however some federal installations may require protection of
all water bodies including surface water. This does not strictly apply to routine maintenance such as regrading a road or
cleaning out a roadside ditch to maintain its as-built function; however every attempt will be made to avoid unnecessary
runoff.
k. Construction activities that are not required to apply for coverage include routine maintenance activities, work that
discharges only to the ground and not to surface water or a storm sewer; any discharge from a remedial action under
consent decree; any emergency construction activity required to protect public health and safety; and any construction
activity for routine maintenance of existing facilities to maintain original line and grade or hydraulic capacity. Centennial
and its subcontractors will make attempt to apply the same protective standards to these activities where feasible.
l. Centennial will require all potentially affected subcontractors to comply with the provisions of the Endangered Species
Act (ESA). The Endangered Species Act is of concern on construction sites because of the potential adverse impacts to
receiving waters from discharges of sediment, turbidity or abnormal pH. Specific adverse impacts include:
These impacts could be determined to be a violation of the federal ESA. The stranding of listed species behind erosion and
sediment control features or the impairment of their access into certain areas due to the presence of erosion and sediment
control features could also be determined to be a violation under ESA.
m. Other standards may require the implementation of BMPs to control pollutants in construction site storm-water runoff
such as:
• Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDLs) or Water Clean Up Plans.
• Hydraulic Project Approval Permits.
• General provisions from the WSA Department of Transportation.
• Contaminated site remediation agreements.
• Local permits and approvals, such as clearing and grading permits.

6. Traffic Control Plans
With respect to the Traffic Control plan, we will utilize DOT – MUTCD manual for guidance with a mutually agreed upon
traffic control plan with the local jurisdiction authority. Our anticipated peak traffic conditions would generally be in the
beginning and end of each work day when personnel are entering and leaving the work site. Centennial shall provide necessary
provisions for the protection and diversion of traffic as necessary to comply with the state and/or local jurisdiction having
authority. Measures to be utilized as needed may include watchmen and flagmen, erection of barricades and the
placement of appropriate warning, danger and directional signage.
Describe in detail and attach the traffic control plans that will be implemented for this project:
Note: Site Plans provided for this project may depict the areas approved for construction activities. If so, please reference
the site plans.
An effective Spill Control Plan is required at the site to implement procedures and controls which will prevent and/or
minimize adverse impacts associated with releases of hazardous, toxic or other regulated substances into the environment.
The following Plan serves to supplement the spill prevention procedures outlined in Contract Specifications SWPPP for
Construction Activities as well as incorporating (when working on Federal Land, the appropriate section of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1).
9.1 Personnel
The project superintendent will serve as the primary contact for reporting spills or releases of regulated substances and will
be responsible for following up with complete and accurate documentation of the release. He/she can be reached via
telephone numbers listed in section 3 of this plan. The superintendent will also coordinate cleanup activities and
procedures should a release occur. If ever the superintendent is unavailable at the time of a release, the alternate contact
shall be the quality control manager. Contact information for the QC manager can also be found in section 3 of this plan.
In the case of a release at the project site, on-site employees shall immediately notify the Centennial project
Superintendent. He/she in turn will notify the customer Project Manager, Environmental
Management Office (EMO) and the local Fire Department as necessary.
List below any Federal, State, Local or Military Installation reporting channels/guidelines:
9.2 Training Requirements
Employees shall be adequately informed and trained in the hazard notification standards stipulated in the OSHA Hazard
Communication Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200. This standard provides employees the right to notify of the potential
hazardous conditions and/or chemicals which may be present at a particular job site. Additionally, the standard includes
provisions for informing employees about protective measures to prevent adverse effects from occurring. Effectively
communicating the potential work-site hazards to site personnel will help minimize harmful workplace incidents. Additional
training and information shall be provided to site personnel, the level of detail of which shall be commensurate with
individual responsibilities and may include the following:
2. The effects of products expected to be utilized at the site to human health and the environment;
Personnel with the potential to respond to releases of hazardous materials are required to be trained in accordance with a
40-Hour OSHA HAZWOPER Certification course. Additionally, a minimum of one (1) individual at the site should have
completed the 8-Hour OSHA HAZWOPER supervisor training course. Emergency response personnel are also required to be
trained in the First Responder Operations Level specified in 29 CFR 1910.120 (g)(6)(ii).
All subcontractors shall maintain appropriate equipment and materials at the site in quantities sufficient to adequately contain
potential releases of substances utilized at the site. Spill control materials shall be located in portions of the site where the
potential for spills or releases are relatively high and shall be easily accessible by site and emergency response personnel.
Examples of equipment which may be provided include pre-fabricated spill kits, absorbent materials such as cat litter or oil
absorbent socks/booms to contain surface liquid releases, spill mats, appropriate PPE (i.e. Tyvek suits, latex gloves, etc.), 55-
gallon drums for temporary staging of released/contained materials, storm drain covers, brooms, and square point shovels,
barricades and proper warning signage. Additional equipment and materials should be added or available for rapid
mobilization as necessary.
Spill containment equipment and materials will be obtained prior to project site mobilization and the subcontractor is
responsible for deploying these materials effectively to contain, clean-up, disinfect/decontaminate unforeseen minor spills,
as well as other related disposal costs in non-emergency situations. Additional spill containment materials discussed above
can be obtained as needed from the local safety supplier of choice. The Local Emergency Response Team (ERT) will respond
to unforeseen emergency situations and hazardous material spills. Coordination with the ERT throughout the lifespan of the
project shall be maintained by the project site superintendent.
9.4 Contaminant Cleanup Procedures
Cleanup procedures for accidental releases vary depending on the material involved in the release as well as the quantity of
the release material. The following classifications and response will be utilized:
Category 0: Releases of this type are defined as petroleum spill of less than 5 gallons as well as any hazardous
substance releases where the release can be safely contained and cleaned up by the person or persons causing
the release. The subcontractor shall immediately ensure proper cleanup of these types of release, document
the conditions of the release and the measures taken to contain and cleanup the substance. Formal
notification procedures discussed above are not required for these types of releases. The subcontractor is
required to immediately report any and all spills and/or release of hazardous materials, defined by OSHA as a
substance requiring a Safety Data Sheet (SDS), to the Customer Project Manager/Contracting Officer, Local
Fire and Emergency Services and the EMO.
Category 1: Petroleum release between 5 and 25 gallons as well as hazardous substances within the capability
of the responsible person(s) to contain and cleanup fall into this category. If deemed necessary by on-site
personnel, fire and emergency services may be notified and mobilized to assess the situation and provide
technical and manpower resources. The ERT may be placed on standby until the situation is fully assessed and
the response actions complete. The primary on-site contact at the time of the release will be tasked with
notification of additional personnel as described above, including state authorities should surface waters be
impacted, and all appropriate documentation such as antecedent conditions, nature of the release, and
mitigation measures, shall be recorded.
Category 2: This category includes releases of petroleum products over 25 gallons or hazardous substances
beyond the responsible person’s cleanup capability. The ERT should have the capability to adequately and
effectively contain and cleanup releases within this category and shall be mobilized as soon as practicable. An
on-scene Coordinator will be designated by the Directorate of Public Works and Logistics (DPWL) and will be a
representative of the EMO. The on-site Coordinator will be responsible for coordinating and mobilizing the
cleanup and remediation of the release. Third party Emergency Response Contractors (ERC) may be put on
notice and standby, but will not mobilize unless deemed necessary by the on-scene Coordinator. Releases of
this volume require notification of state agencies.
Category 3: Spills which fall into this category are beyond the cleanup capabilities of the ERT and require
response from a contracted third party. Release of this magnitude poses an imminent threat to human health
and/or the environment. The contracted ERC may consist of an adequately trained and equipped hazardous
materials (HAZMAT) team, and once mobilized by the on-site Coordinator, will conduct cleanup activities under
the direction of the EMO on-site Coordinator. Depending on the magnitude and location of the release, the
appropriate notification of state and federal emergency response agencies shall be followed.
If spills occur, it will be the responsibility of Centennial and/or the subcontractor to containerize impacted material and
dispose of the media in accordance with applicable regulations. Spills caused by the customer will be the responsibility of the
customer and the customer’s Hazardous Waste Manager shall be contacted to arrange for pick-up of impacted
material or media in such circumstances.
Significant quantities of hazardous materials, other than petroleum products, are not anticipated to be utilized as part of
this project.
Should an inadvertent release of petroleum products occur, the following procedure shall be utilized:
Ø Stop the source of the spill, if possible. Identify the source and/or cause of the release and
prevent additional release if possible. Determine if the release has the potential to impact surface
waters and protect storm drains or drainage features as necessary to prevent contaminant migration
into receiving waters. The primary concerns are to minimize the impacted areas and to prevent oil
from entering the environment.
Ø For small spills, utilize spill equipment or absorbent material to clean up oil by forming a perimeter
around the release. If needed, mobilize a vacuum truck to remove excessive amount of product.
Storm drains that are threatened shall be covered with spill mats and surrounded by absorbent
booms, and the entrance to drainage ditches that are threatened shall be blocked with absorbent booms.
Should there be insufficient absorbent booms and pads, sand, fine aggregate and/or dirt may be
used as spill absorbent. Contain debris in drums or another appropriate container and store in a
designated drum storage area for subsequent disposal. Follow the appropriate notification and
documentation procedures discussed in Section 9.1 above and contact the Customer Project
Manager/Contracting Officer, EMO and Local Fire Department unless the release qualifies as a
Category 0 petroleum release.
Ø For larger spills, immediately notify the Customer Project Manager/Contracting Officer, EMO and
Local Fire Department. The on-site Coordinator will determine if the spill can be handled safely by
Installation personnel or if conditions necessitate mobilizing the ERC. The on-site Coordinator will
make appropriate regulatory notifications.
Ø On-site personnel should only respond to spills that are small enough to handle safely and only
respond to a spill of substances with which you work or have familiarity. Identify the character, exact
source and amount of any released materials by observation to aid in remediation activities and for
reporting documentation.
Ø Take reasonable measures necessary to avoid fires, explosions and further releases. These
measures shall include, when applicable, stopping and isolation processes and operation, collecting
and containing released petroleum and removing or isolation problem containers. Evaluate the area
if necessary. Monitor the affected equipment and areas for leaks and additional release, wherever
appropriate.
If the spill cannot be handled safely or contained, if surface waters are threatened, if there are injuries or the
potential for injuries, if there is fire or the potential for fires or if the release could endanger the public
outside the work area, call the Local Fire Department and evacuate the site immediately. Provide Fire
Department with the following information:
1. Caller’s name, exact location and phone number of the facility, if available
8. Document spill response action and notification procedures followed. Take detailed
notes including names, dates and times. Take photographs.
In addition to the reporting requirements discussed above, and not withstanding any applicable federal, state or local
actions which may be required based on the magnitude of a spill, a Post-Discharge Review is required for petroleum related
spill of 25 gallons or greater, spills that impact state waters or releases of hazardous substances over the specified Reportable
Quantity (RQ). Post-Discharge review procedures are as follows:
Minor Spills: For petroleum related spills between 5 and 25 gallons that do not impact state waters, or for
releases of hazardous substances below the RQ, a concise written report shall be prepared by the Officer in
Charge or the Facility Operator. Information contained in this report shall include the cause of the spill,
magnitude of the release and remedial efforts conducted, if any. The report shall be submitted to the DPWL
for review upon completion.
Reportable Spills: For petroleum spills greater than 25 gallons, a release that impacts state waters or spill of
hazardous materials above the RQ, a formal Post-Discharge Review is required. Information pertaining to the
circumstances leading up to the release, potential effects to human health and the environment, notification
and spill response procedures followed and any remedial or mitigative actions performed by the responsible
party shall be included in the Post-Discharge Report provided to the EMO for review. Such information shall be
provided within 7 days of the release. EMO personnel will then provide guidance concerning additional
investigations or sire characterization which may be deemed necessary, as well as a thorough review of the
response action(s) and whether modifications to the spill response protocols are needed.
For each delivery order project potentially generating non-hazardous solid waste, the Centennial PM will require each
subcontractor to submit a project specific plan detailing what material is to be disposed of, why these materials cannot be
recycled, the schedules for disposal and the method of transportation to be used and the destination. Licenses or permits
shall be submitted for solid waste disposal sites that are not considered a commercial operation facility as well as written
notice of acceptance from the facility that the specified waste will be disposed there. Once the material is disposed of, the
subcontractor shall submit to the Centennial PM, a Non-hazardous Solid Waste Diversion Report for each disposal event.
These reports in turn shall be submitted to the Customer. Each report shall specify the total amount of waste generated
and the total amount of waste diverted in cubic meters yards or tons along with the percent that was diverted.
Non-hazardous liquid wastes are required to be placed in DOT-approved steel drums with proper labels including the
contents and the non-hazardous nature of the material. These vessels shall be stored in a separate designated area prior to
removal and disposal.
Non-hazardous wastes removed for off-site disposal shall be weighed and ticketed. Trip tickets shall be obtained from the
landfill, incinerators and/or recycling facilities utilized and shall be submitted to the customer in order to document the
amount (tonnage) of waste and debris land-filled, incinerated, reused, recycled or salvaged.
Centennial is required to ensure wastes, both hazardous and non-hazardous, are removed from the site at the end of
the project. These items include, but are not limited to, dirt, concrete, asphalt, and rubbish piles, paints, plasters, solvents
or other building materials. No such materials shall be left at the site without written permission from the customer.
Explanation of Terms:
SOLID WASTE: Means all putrescible and non-putrescible solid and semi‐solid wastes including but
not limited to, garbage, rubbish, ashes, industrial wastes, swill, sewage sludge, demolition and
construction wastes, abandoned vehicles or parts thereof, contaminated soils and contaminated
dredged materials and recycled materials.
RECYCLABLE MATERIALS: Means those solid wastes that are separated for recycling or reuse,
including but not limited to, papers, metals and glass, that are identified as recyclable material
pursuant to a local comprehensive solid waste plan.

To ensure all Centennial personnel and subcontractors are in compliance with federal, state and
local environmental regulations for construction on this project.
1) To protect the environment.
Responsibilities:
a. The Centennial Environmental Compliance Officer (ECO) is responsible for reviewing the
subcontractor's recycling plan prior to submittal to the customer. In so doing, the ECO will promote
waste reduction and recycling and ensure compliance with provisions of this SOP and Federal,
State, Local Regulation by all personnel involved in the project.
b. Each PM will require the subcontractor to develop and implement a Recycling Plan. This should
include appointing an on site project Recycling Officer to ensure that the plan is actually
implemented and that all applicable materials are recycled.
c. The subcontractor and their Recycling Officer are responsible for:
1) Encouraging all project personnel to reduce unnecessary waste of building
materials or construction supplies, wastepaper usage and to recover construction
materials, used paper, cardboard, glass, tin, aluminum cans, plastic bottles etc. for
recycling.
(2) Facilitate awareness raising and education regarding recycling building materials
(asphalt, wood, glass, concrete, etc.), paper reuse, recycling and the use of non-virgin
paper.
(3) Ensuring that at each project or office, toner and ink cartridges are recycled in an
environmentally sustainable manner or properly disposed and that following
demolition the unpainted wood, concrete, and asphalt are diverted to the appropriate
recycling center.
(4) Encouraging all Personnel to reuse/recycle packaging boxes and to find recycling
opportunities for plumbing fixtures, metals, door and window units, etc.
(5) Ensuring that packaging is minimized, pallets are returned and that all chemicals
brought onto the site that are not used are removed by the subcontractor who
brought it.
(6) Ensuring that unwanted Hazardous Material is returned, used elsewhere or turned
in via the PM.
(7) Ensuring that this procedure is kept up to date.
(8) Monitoring its effectiveness.
(9) Updating the policy as necessary.
(10) Monitoring outcomes derived from introducing this policy.
(11) Communicating with and informing Centennial personnel and subcontractor
personnel on issues relating to this procedure and the recycling goals.
d. All Centennial Personnel are responsible for:
(1) Reusing recyclable materials as much as possible. Avoiding paper use where
practical (edit documents on-screen, use electronic forms of communication).
General Guidance:
To aid in maintaining a strong and effective program, the following guidelines will be implemented:
a. Recycling containers will be positioned at each project scheduled to take more than one day to
complete. The “blue bin” recycling program will be implemented and
includes both mixed paper (red label bin) and a commingled recyclables (green label bin).
b. Blue bins with red labels will be used to collect all types of paper..
c. Blue bins with green labels will be used to collect glass, tin, aluminum cans, plastic bottles #1
through #7 and juice boxes.
Hazardous wastes shall not be removed from the project site without approval from the Hazardous Waste Manager or
other qualified EMO personnel. Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifests shall be signed by the Hazardous Waste Manager,
shall include EPA ID number and maintained to ensure proper documentation record keeping.
Will a Nuclear Density Gauge be utilized during the course of this project? Yes No
To the extent feasible, all Centennial construction projects will maintain a “no visible dust” policy and will make all attempts
to control fugitive emissions of nuisance dust such as from excavation. All projects involving lead based paint, asbestos or
other hazardous materials in soil, water or buildings will have strict abatement/removal plans developed and strict
controls implemented. The Centennial PM will require that applicable subcontractors submit and implement plans to
control emissions and visible dust as well as trash and other debris.
In the event a release occurs that will impact the environmental air quality, we will notify the Chief Environmental
Compliance Officer, the Local Fire Department and any other regulatory agencies as required.
Coatings and solvents utilized during construction shall meet applicable performance specification and shall not
exceed the volatile organic compound (VOC) limits of the Air Pollution Control Districts where they are used.
Low VOC-emitting or Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) point is recommended to minimize VOC
emissions both during and after application .
Certification statements shall be prepared and executed which indicate paints and protective coating utilized at
the site do not contain mercurial mildecides or insecticides, lead, zinc, chromate or strontium chromate and
these materials will comply with applicable state and local laws, thereby facilitating compliance with Federal
Clean Air Standards and the VOC regulations of the Air Pollution control Agencies having jurisdiction over the
site.
VOC materials shall not be intentionally spilled or discarded into sewers and shall be stored in covered
containers with proper labels pursuant to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Containers shall be stored in
locations with adequate ventilation to prevent the accumulation of harmful or flammable vapors and to protect
the materials from exposure to excessive heat, cold or ignition sources. All subcontractors shall maintain SDS
sheets which can be readily viewed at the construction site.
12.3 Solvents
Emission Standards for Solvent Metal Cleaning Operation using Non-Halogenated Solvents shall be
followed. Non- or low-VOC solvent use shall be specified for activities which require solvents such as
degreasing, paint cleanup or other general maintenance activities. A water reducible product shall be used to
clean paint guns and lines and ozone depleting compound (ODC) containing solvents shall not be used without
approval from the customer. Cut back asphalt will not be used at the site to further minimize VOC emissions
from solvents. Centennial will ensure appropriate pollution control measures are taken to minimize the
risk of release of solvents into the environment either in liquid or gaseous form.
Dust sources shall be mitigated in accordance applicable Federal, State and Local requirements. All subcontractors
shall institute measures which prevent particulates from becoming airborne. Measures can include the use of
water or chemicals on roads or denuded areas during construction and/or demolitions to suppress dust
generation, wet suppression or covering stockpiled materials, precautions preventing deposition and
subsequent Aeolian transport of particulates on roadways and the use of hoods, fans and/or fabric filters to
contain dusty materials or sand blasting activities. Equipment utilized to transport materials which have the
potential to emit particulates shall be adequately covered during operation and sediment inadvertently tracked
onto existing roadways shall be removed as soon as practical to limit off-site migration.
A primary source of dust emission at the subject property will be denuded areas exposed during construction
activities. As such, the subcontractors shall minimize the exposure of these areas by properly coordinating site
activities and schedules. Specifically, wet suppression systems shall be provided prior to site disturbance in
areas which will be exposed for prolonged periods and permanent ground coverings including asphalt, sod or
seeding/mulch shall be applied as soon as practical following clearing and final grading of the project area.
Logistical planning should be conducted so selected stabilization measures are accessible shortly following final
site grading thereby minimizing exposure of denuded areas.
12.5 Boilers, Generators and Misc Emissions Units and Hot Water/Steam Boiler and Water Heaters
Information for boilers, generators and other emissions units as well as hot water/steam boilers and water
heaters will be provided. This information includes specifications on the equipment performance and
operation criteria as well as the manufacturer location and model information. This data is necessary to
ensure equipment is selected which will comply with applicable operating and emission requirements.
Equipment which emits pollutants shall operate in accordance with all Federal, State and Local standards. The
subcontractor shall routinely inspect pollutant-emitting equipment to verify the equipment does not produce
visible emissions with greater than 20% opacity except during startup, shutdown or malfunction. Any piece of
equipment which cannot satisfy this requirement shall be shut down and necessary repairs initiated or replaced
with a properly functioning unit.
Certification reports shall be provided to the customer which state diesel fuels utilized at the
site both in stationary equipment and mobile sources do not exceed 0.05% sulfur by weight or 500ppm. These
certification statements shall be provided prior to the initiation of construction activities or upon request from
the customer.
Vehicle engines shall not be permitted to idle for more than three (3) minutes. Equipment providing auxiliary
power for other than heating or air conditioning is permitted to exceed this threshold. In addition, diesel
power engines may idle for up to ten (10) minutes to minimize re‐start problems and/or emissions. Centennial
will be responsible for monitoring vehicle idling during construction and for facilitating the efficient
use of construction vehicles at the site by minimizing down time to ensure these requirements are met.
Class I ODS equipment shall not be utilized for this project. Documentation verifying equipment specifications
and emissions (i.e. manufacturer stack testing, emissions certifications, not to exceed emission data, etc.) shall
be provided to the customer for subsequent submission to regulators. This information shall be provided to
the customer no more than 30 days after each piece of equipment is ordered.
12.8 Open Burning
Will open burning take place on this project site? Yes No
If yes, explain:
All subcontractors are required to take all reasonable precautions to prevent the introduction of hazardous materials into the
surrounding environment. Examples of hazardous materials which may be utilized at the site and be subject to the
requirements discussed below included paints, thinners, sealing compounds, glues, solvents, petroleum products,
pesticides, adhesives, acids, flammable materials, corrosives, oxidizers and aerosols. Centennial shall provide a list of
proposed hazardous materials to the customer along with the SDS for that material.
Hazardous Material Worksheets shall be completed and submitted to the Customer for hazardous materials
proposed to be utilized at the site prior to transporting any such substances onto the project site and will include
information regarding the material information, quantity expected to be utilized, purpose of the material, storage and use
location and any special protective measures which shall be instituted. For projects expected to exceed six (6) months in
duration, Centennial’s Monthly Report for HAZMAT must also be completed and submitted to the Customer.
Centennial is responsible for ensuring unused quantities of hazardous materials are removed from the Installation and
disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations.
Storage of hazardous materials will be conducted in a prudent and reasonable matter pursuant to applicable federal, state
and local regulations. Containers shall be kept in good condition and properly labeled with the container contents and
hazard class clearly visible. Storage areas will be cited appropriately and measures such as fire proof lockers or sealed and
palletized drums shall be employed as needed to maintain safe storage and handling of these materials. Containers shall be
employed as needed to maintain safe storage and handling of these materials. Containers shall be covered when not in use
to protect the materials from the elements and to prevent storm-water runoff contamination. Incompatible materials shall
be segregated from one another to preclude potentially dangerous chemical and physical reactions (i.e. flammables
separate from corrosives, corrosives separate from oxidizers and flammable gases separate from flammable liquids).
Storage vessels and tanks greater than 55-gallons in size shall be stored within secondary containment structures. Gas
cylinders which are stored and utilized at the site shall be secured with chains and locks in an upright position and easily
visible signage shall be posted indicating the type of gas contained within the cylinders.
On-site fueling sources may be employed during the completion of construction activities. Such sources may include
temporary Aboveground Storage Tanks (ASTs) or fueling vehicles. ASTs shall be placed within secondary containment
structures capable of holding 110% of the AST capacity. Containment structures shall be covered to prevent the
accumulation of rainfall, or the structure shall be routinely inspected and accumulated precipitation removed and properly
disposed of in accordance with all applicable regulations and specifications. Fueling equipment shall have emergency shut
off switches that are maintained in good working order and are located in areas easily and rapidly accessible by the fueling
technician. Given the relatively high potential for releases during fueling operations, subcontractors shall site and maintain
spill kits and absorbent materials proximal to fueling areas. Furthermore, all fueling vehicles shall be equipped with
absorbent pads and/or booms to facilitate rapid containment and cleanup of minor petroleum releases. If releases of
petroleum substances occur, proper spill containment, cleanup and notification protocols detailed elsewhere in this EPP
shall be followed.
Centennial will also ensure that equipment brought on-site is properly cleaned. Decontaminating equipment prior to
arrival at the project site will minimize the potential for cross contamination from residual soils, pests, weeds or other
undesirable materials.
Construction activities may result in the generation of wastewater depending on the nature of the activity. Examples of
such activities include concrete curing water, clean-up water, disinfection water and water generated through the flushing
of lines or equipment. Placed concrete will be cured utilizing either curing compounds or through a wet curing process. As
such, wastewater discharges from this process are not believed to be significant. Wastewaters generated during
equipment or site cleaning activities, equipment flush-out procedures or equipment testing shall be disposed of either in
the sanitary sewer where practicable or by collection and off-site transport if sanitary facilities are not available.
Centennial shall obtain approval from the customer concerning the flow rate, volume and type of wastewater discharge
before such discharges occur. Discharges to surface waters shall be minimized to the maximum extent practicable and
reasonable measures will be employed to remove excess solids from the wastewater (i.e. settling tank).
Will wastewater discharges from dewatering activities take place on this project? Yes No
In either case,
Should such water be encountered and dewatering becomes necessary, Centennial shall provide primary
treatment of the effluent utilizing a settling tank prior to off-site disposal. Discharged wastewater shall also be
properly characterized prior to removal from the site.
15. Historical, Archaeological, Cultural & Biological Resources Wetland Plan
In the event of an inadvertent discovery of previously undocumented HAC resources, Centennial will
immediately cease construction operations and notify the customer within 24 hours of the discovery. Potential HAC
resources which would cause cessation of work include any human skeletal remains or burial, artifacts (i.e. ceramics,
pottery, tools, etc.), shell, midden, bone, charcoal or other deposits rock or coral alignments, pavings, walls or other
constructed features and any other indication of previous agricultural or other human activities. Until the customer has
made a determination on the historical or cultural significance of the inadvertently discovered resources, Centennial
shall effectively secure the area in a manner that prevents employees or other persons from trespassing on, removing or
otherwise disturbing such resources. Failure to follow these procedures could result in fines and penalties under 36 CFR
800.
Centennial shall minimize disturbance to biological resources outside the approved footprint of disturbance. Examples
of biological resources include fish, wildlife, and plants and trees, including their habitat and disturbance of these resources
are to be limited by remaining within the Work Area Limits approved by the customer. Inadvertent destruction or
degradation of adjacent areas outside the approved Work Area Limit shall be remedied as soon as practicable by restoring
the site to its original condition. Protective fencing shall be utilized around trees and shrubs that are designated to remain
on-site after construction, if applicable. Damage caused to preserved trees should be documented and repaired and/or
restoration plans shall be approved by the customer prior to implementation. Finally, appropriate measures shall be
implemented to prevent the migration of sediment and fugitive dust from the construction site to protect off-site terrestrial
and aquatic biological resources. Special care should be taken with work around storm drains, culverts, swales or other
drainage features which may discharge to surface waters. Should biological resources be encountered during construction,
Centennial shall cease operation and contact the customer immediately. A description of the situation and/or resource
encountered shall be provided and guidance obtained to resumption of construction activities.
In the event wetlands are encountered, employees shall not enter, disturb, destroy or allow the discharge of
contaminants into any wetlands or Resource Protected Area.
16. Pesticide Treatment Plan
If yes, Centennial will retain a licensed firm to provide treatment of excavated areas for pest infestations. The firm will
be responsible for compliance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations regarding the proper selection of
pesticide products and equipment, storage, handling, labeling, and transportation regulations, application methods,
application rates, and record keeping and reporting requirements including any customer specific requirements. A Pest
Management Plan shall be prepared and submitted to the customer for approval and obtain an Authorization-To-Treat
prior to pesticide application activities.
