Once removal operations begin, used media will contain heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and chromates. It will be considered a hazardous waste unless properly recycled. Used blasting media must be reclaimed and recycled to prevent the creation of a hazardous waste stream. The contractor must ensure spent media is recycled in manner that complies with all state and federal laws and requirements. a. Product specifications require media of Medium 20/40 mesh in 300# drums or equivalent. Also, glass beads will be pruchased under the terms of this agreement. An initial purchase of 2,000 pounds of Plastic Media will be required to charge the PBM system with an open purchase agreement to purchase additional supplies as required. b. An initial purchase of 200 pounds of glass beads will be required to charge the sand blasting cabinet with an open purchase agreement to purchase additional supplies as required. SCOPE: The Statement of Work (SOW) covers the requirements for a contract to purchase blasting media to Malmstrom AFB for use in de-painting and removing corrosion. The Contractors shall remove the spent blast media (SBM) from Malmstrom AFB and recycle it in a manner that will prevent it from being considered a solid waste or hazardous waste. This contract shall provide for media delivery, SBM pick up, transportation and recycling by the contractor as specified herein. The Contractors shall provide the labor, required equipment, transportation, necessary plant facilities for recycling, ensure regulatory permitting, and obtain all regulatory agency approvals as necessary to legally fulfill the requirements of this SOW. SPENT BLAST MEDIA HANDLING REQUIREMENTS: The Contractor shall provide containers for the collection of the SBM at the generation points on Malmstrom AFB. The SBM shall be collected in the containers provided by the contractor, labeled by the government, and held by the government for pick up by the contractor. The government will ensure that the SBM is acceptable for pick up. All inspection data by government or contractor will remain on file with the government for a minimum of two years. When the contractor is notified that a load of SBM is ready for pickup it must be removed within 30 calendar days. The Contractors shall notify the government at least 48 hours ahead of the truck arrival date. The Contractors shall arrange and pay for transportation from Malmstrom AFB to the contractor facility where recycling occurs. The contractor is solely responsible for the SBM while in transit. If an accident or spill of the SBM occurs while in transit, the contractor is solely responsible for cleanup and for any notifications required by federal, state or local regulations. All transporting, storing, handling, manufacturing processes, and recycling of the SBM shall be performed within the continental United States. Contractor shall use the SBM in a recycling process that satisfies the USEPA regulations such that the SBM is not a solid waste and therefore is not a hazardous waste. The federal regulatory requirements, which must be satisfied by the Contractor, follows: The Contractor shall accept the premise that the SBM is a “spent material” in accordance with 40CFR 261.1(c)(1). “A spent material is any material that has been used and as a result of contamination can no longer serve the purpose for which it was produced, without processing.” A “spent material” is not a solid waste when it can be shown to be recycled by one of the following three methods. (40CFR 261.2(e)(1)) (i) “Used or reused as ingredients in an industrial process to make a product, provided the materials are not being reclaimed; or (ii) Used or reused as effective substitutes for commercial products; or (iii) Returned to the original process from which they are generated, without first being reclaimed or land disposed...” The Contractor shall specify which of these three methods is used to recycle the SBM and explain in writing how the process satisfies the method. The Contractor shall provide detailed documentation for the recycling process including facility location and layout, product formulation, process flow chart with all equipment shown, production rates, and other pertinent details. If method (ii) is used, the contractor shall provide documentation showing how much SBM is used in the formulation and what ingredients it is a substitute for shall be provided. Proof that it is an “effective substitute” shall be provided, such that the “toxics along for the ride (TAR)” concern, as addressed by EPA, is satisfied. This documentation must be provided to the government. The products of the recycling process shall be completely described and documented. They shall meet the criteria at 40CFR 261.2(e)(2) as follows. (i) Recycled products shall not be “Applied to the Land”. Specifically, “applied to the land” to mean without limitation such items as fence posts, blocks or concrete block like products or other items that are used underground and/or that are used in contact with the earth. The contractor shall accept this interpretation and shall not propose or use recycling processes that produce such items. (ii) The recycling process shall not involve “Materials burned for energy recovery, used to produce a fuel, or contained in fuels; or (iii) “Materials accumulated speculatively”, the definition of which is given at 40CFR 261.1(c)(7)). The SBM, prior to recycle, shall not be accumulated speculatively. The Contractor shall provide documentation and data that demonstrates compliance with this requirement for each month that the recycle process has been used. The Contractor shall provide the documentation described in 40CFR 261.2(f) demonstrating that there is a known market for the recyclable material and demonstrating that the recycling of the material meets the requirements for exclusion or exemption contained in 40CFR 261. The Contractor shall recognize and understand that in addition to the USEPA regulations cited herein, the states involved may have regulations that are more stringent or broader in scope. In that case the contractor shall identify those requirements and comply with the state regulations. This applies as a minimum for the state of Montana and for the state or states where the recycling is done. The Contractors shall ensure all containers are properly labeled, sealed, and in good condition for shipping prior to shipping of SBM containers. The Contractors shall be responsible for the completion of appropriate information on all labels. The Contractors shall replace any damaged containers before transport. The contractor shall provide the government with net weights of each container of SBM transported off Malmstrom AFB. The Contractor shall provide the Government with complete tracking and handling records of each container of SBM. This will include data from the point of pick up through proper recycling of the SBM. This record shall be submitted in updated form each calendar month to the contract administrator and to the Hazardous Waste Program Manager at Malmstrom AFB. If SBM that is initially designated as recyclable by the government and is later designated and properly disposed of by the Contractor as hazardous waste, the contractor shall provide copies of manifests to the contract administrator and the Hazardous Waste Program Manager. The Contractor shall ensure and certify that all actions taken in this regard adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local regulations and permits.
