The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract. The Contractor will handle, remove, transport, regenerate and return the spent carbon media to Letterkenny Army Depot as RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) hazardous waste. 1.2 Background: The Contractor will adhere to established Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards for licensed hazardous waste transportation of spent carbon media. Spent carbon media will be transported from Letterkenny Army Depot (LEAD) to the reactivation facility. Spent carbon media will be removed in accordance with the manufacturers' recommendations and EPA mandates concerning the reactivation of spent carbon media. Spent carbon media will also be removed in accordance with the specifications in this Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Contractor will provide necessary virgin carbon for the carbon loss which will occur with the regeneration cycle. The Contractor will dispose of all residues and wastes generated from the entire regeneration process, transport the regenerated carbon media from the reactivation facility to LEAD and reload the reactivated media into the absorber units in accordance with manufacturers' recommendations and this PWS.

Certificates of training will be submitted along with all bids to LEAD. 5.4.3 Contractor will provide all necessary equipment, labor and equipment to perform carbon exchanges in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. 5.5 Conformity with Equipment and the Spirit of the System: Exchange of the Carbon will be by trained and certified personnel in order to maintain the Groundwater Treatment Plant (GWTP) system integrity, operations, and performance. 5.5.1 Personnel doing the exchange of the carbon will have exchanged carbon on a similar unit within the last one year period. 5.5.2 The Contractor will, in performance of the terms of this PWS, be responsible for the satisfactory performance of the exchanged carbon media. 5.6 Reactivation Services: Reactivation will be conducted at a facility fully and currently permitted under a state approved or federal RCRA program for the performance of any and all work required by this contract. 5.6.1 The reactivation facility will carry Sudden Spills and Environmental Impairment Liability Insurance in the amount of $2 million. Proof of current coverage will be submitted as part of bid accepted by LEAD. Bids will not be accepted without this necessary paperwork. 5.6.2 Carbon can either be reactivated for dedicated operations, i.e all carbon reactivated from the GWTP facility will be returned for the sole use at the GWTP facility; or Carbon can be reactivated under a pooled concept, i.e. the spent carbon from the GWTP facility is mixed with other facilities carbon, and this pooled batch of spent carbon is then reactivated: or Virgin carbon can be supplied for each batch of spent carbon, i.e. the spent carbon from the GWTP facility is not returned to LEAD but instead virgin carbon is returned for use at the GWTP. 5.6.3 All make-up for carbon lost during the reactivation process will be replaced with virgin grade carbon meeting or exceeding the original carbon specifications listed in Quality Assurance. The virgin grade carbon makeup supplied by the contractor should be at current market pricing. 5.6.4 Each batch of carbon will be tested after the reactivation process to prove conformance of the reactivated carbon to the standards in this PWS. The analytical results of this testing must be forwarded to LEAD for approval prior to transportation of this reactivated carbon to LEAD. Reactivated carbon not performing to criteria listed in Para. 1.4.3, Quality Assurance, will not be accepted by LEAD, and the Contractor will be required to supply LEAD with virgin carbon for this nonconforming batch of reactivated carbon at the expense of the Contractor. This requirement is most important if the Contractor plans to use the pooled concept of carbon regeneration. 5.6.5 The Contractor will supply virgin carbon for the carbon loss which will occur with each regeneration cycle. The Contractor will provide the percentage of makeup virgin carbon with each batch which is reactivated. This information will be forwarded to LEAD for approval with the analytical data referenced above in paragraph 5.6.5 above. The maximum carbon loss which is allowed is 10%. Any carbon loss greater than 10% will be the responsibility of the Contractor (i.e. if the carbon loss is shown to be 15% the Contractor is responsible for makeup of the extra 5% carbon loss), at the Contractor's expense. The virgin carbon or makeup used in the regeneration process can be between 10% - 75% of the 8000 pounds required in the 10,000 pound carbon bed container. The minimum and maximum amount of virgin carbon may vary between 800 to 6000 pounds. Any costs of carbon above the stated 10% will be an added amount and invoiced as a separate line item. 5.6.6 The reactivation facility will analyze any carbon to be disposed of from the regeneration process for hazardous waste determination. The results of this analysis along with the reactivation facilities hazardous waste determination will be provided to LEAD in accordance with paragraph 1.5. Certificates of disposal for this waste will be presented to LEAD in accordance with paragraph 1.5 5.6.7 The reactivation facility will analyze any residues generated from the reactivation process for hazardous waste determination. The results of this analysis along with the reactivation facilities hazardous waste determination will be provided to LEAD in accordance with paragraph 1.5. Certificates of disposal for any residues will be presented to LEAD in accordance with paragraph 1.5 5.6.8 A certificate of reactivation will be supplied for each reactivated carbon batch in accordance with paragraph 1.5.The certificate will include results of the analytical tests to determine conformance with the specifications for the original carbon provided in paragraph 1.4.3, Quality Assurance. This certificate will serve as proof to LEAD for the absorbed organics destruction. 5.7 Treatment of Disposal: The spent carbon media and hazardous waste generated therefore will be treated and disposed of by a licensed hazardous waste treatment or disposal facility in accordance with 25 PA Code, Chapter 75, Section 75.264, or Section 75.265 as applicable. Manifests will be completed and routed in accordance with 25 PA Code, Chapter 75, Section 75.262(j) or Section 75.265(j), as applicable. The Contractor is the generator of any spent carbon and hazardous waste generated therefore. 5.8 Contractor Manpower Reporting (CMR): The Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower & Reserve Affairs) operates and maintains a secure Army data collection site where the Contractor shall report ALL Contractor manpower (including subcontractor manpower) required for performance of this contract.
