Environmental Construction Compliance Assistance Program Expectations: Contractors/Construction Managers must comply with all local, state, and federal environmental regulations. Contractors must immediately notify OCPS of any non compliance warnings, fines, or inspections conducted by outside regulators. Contractors must immediately correct any deficiencies found by OCPS or outside agency inspectors. 45
Environmental Construction Compliance Assistance Program Consequences of Non Compliance: Formal letter of complaint issued from OCPS Facilities and Construction Contracting Department to company home office or president. Contractor negative performance with environmental regulations will be documented and will be considered when awarding new work/contracts. 46
Environmental Construction Compliance Assistance Program Okay, How Do I Stay In Compliance? 1. Document Management Have copies of all the environmental permits, surveys, and notifications needed for your project in the trailer/office on site and all people in the trailer should know what and where they are. 2. Site Conditions - Do what your permit, survey, or notification says you are going to do. Reality on the site must reflect what s found in the documents. 3. Communicate All your sub contractors should be familiar with our expectations. Example: It is your responsibility to make sure your painting contractor s new laborer knows that unused paint does not go in the solid waste dumpster or down the drain. 47
Permits, documents, and surveys needed: Each project is different, but each project should be assessed for the following needs before work begins! Asbestos- Surveys, notices of abatement/demo, air monitoring, landfill receipts, post job reports. Lead- Surveys, post job reports Hazardous/Universal Waste- manifests, certificates of proper disposal Water- Storm water permit, potable water permit, domestic waste water permit, multiple agencies have requirements for each type and project be sure you have all that are needed. Underground and Aboveground Storage Tanks- Permits for new, closure assessments for old and removed. Endangered/Threatened Species- Surveys Well Abandonment/ Installation- Surveys 48
Environmental Construction Compliance Assistance Program Common mistakes by area: Water- Not having a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. This is not your National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Notice of Intent/Generic Construction permit. Not getting a de watering permit from the local water management district. Also not your NPDES permit. Not doing what your SWPPP says you will do. Not adequately stabilizing entrances. Not doing weekly inspections on or after rain events. Tracking dirt, mud, and sediment onto public roads. A sweeping tractor on public roads should not be your first line of sediment control. 49
Environmental Construction Compliance Assistance Program Common Mistakes With Asbestos Expecting you are receiving a building free of asbestos for demolition or a building free of asbestos for renovation. This may not be the case! Ask for and read the asbestos survey. You and your demo or reno contractor must do what the survey recommends. This may mean the following: Recycling concrete may be prohibited during demolition. Your demo contractor may need special asbestos licensing to do the demolition work. You may need air monitoring and waste manifests and land fill receipts to prove proper disposal of debris at close out of project. You may need a licensed asbestos contractor to help you install equipment during renovation projects. Don t be caught off guard by these requirements they can significantly increase the cost of demolition and renovation. Knowing these costs is the responsibility of the contractor. 50
Environmental Construction Compliance Assistance Program Common mistakes by area: Hazardous Materials- Pouring paint or washing out paint down storm drains or placing in solid waste dumpsters. Take all unused paint back to contractor shop. Leaving opened materials orphaned around the work site. (Buckets or drums of concrete release agent, paint, mastic, glue, roofing tar, etc ) Store these materials inside storage units or on trucks. Keep the work site organized and clean. Hydraulic fluids, diesel tanks, and gasoline tanks. Confine these fluids to one storage area. Secondary containment is recommended for drums or 5 gallon buckets of hydraulic fluids and lubricants. The same is true for bulk diesel and gasoline tanks. Notify of spills and clean up promptly. 51
Do Not Do This - It says right on drain 52
Or this Paint washout to the point where the rinse water makes it to stormwater drain 53
Or this.woefully inadequate silt fence 54
What is wrong here?
The other side of fence. Not good. Water from hole dam is overflowing, escaping site, and flowing directly into and unprotected storm water collector.
Off site tracking much?
Is this a stabilized entrance? Is the aggregate capable of removing most dirt and mud from tires to prevent tracking?
Is this proper storage??? 59
Or this.poor little orphaned bucket of roofing tar 60
Or this long term storage of drums that are damaged over turned and have open bungs. 61
What is wrong here? No, that darker dirt is not wet with water. Please don t say that to me. 62
Buckets with lids on them in solid waste dumpsters usually mean one thing 63
There is liquid inside 64
This floor adhesive was pulled from a dumpster. Heading to a drinking water aquifer near you! 65
Be sure you take Environmental Regulations seriously. The following agencies can and will inspect your project site: Florida Department of Environmental Protection Orange County Environmental Protection Division United States Environmental Protection Agency St. Johns Water Management District South Florida Water Management District City of Orlando Storm Water Division Many of these agencies have multiple departments and divisions with independent inspectors that can visit you. 66
