2 Goals: ◦ Minimize the environmental impacts of construction projects and tasks undertaken at the Lab; ◦ Remain in compliance with environmental rules; ◦ A successful project!

3 CC/TM Responsibilities ◦ Compliance (Laws) – meeting regulatory permit requirements  Erosion Control  Storm Water Management  Secondary Containment Fuels & Oils  Waste Disposal ◦ Conformance  Work proceeds in an environmentally sound manner  Hazard Analysis  Identify potential impacts and how to minimize them.

4 Permits o Specific to project (or operation) o Set period of time o Obligation to obey- same as laws Hazard Analysis o Identifies hazards and concerns related to the scope of work o Hazards identified internally – Fermilab/contractor

5  Fermilab is committed to environmental protection (Director’s Policy).  Identifying hazards and ensuring compliance is the task manager’s responsibility.  You must be aware of permit conditions, regulations and the hazard analysis, and act within the scope of them.  You must ensure that workers are aware of the same conditions.

6 You have responsibilities – However:  You’re not expected to become an expert.  Use available resources – seek assistance: *Division Safety Officer *Katie Kosirog FESS *Eric Mieland ESHQ

7 We Have an Integrated ESH Management Program  Job specific activities that have environmental impacts are to be identified in the HA process.  Hazard Analysis is part of the Plan/Do/Check/Adjust process improvement cycle.  HA guidance found in FESHM

8 NEPA is an environmental review process that is initiated and approved long before the project starts. ◦ NEPA review via the Environmental Review Form (ERF) ◦ Conducted before TM/CC involvement ◦ The conditions typically built into the contract ◦ TM/CC ensure conditions are met

9  The Environmental Review Form is typically completed by the project manager or environmental officer.  TM/CC should familiarize themselves with the approved ERF prior to beginning any activity. ◦ ERF can be found at the following link. Search project (or work order) number or description.  Typical information of note for review from the ERF include soil erosion and control protection plans, metals recycling and other wastes, radiation precautions, liquid effluent, and air emissions. http://fess-ogfp.fnal.gov:8095/EnvironmentalReview/faces/searchReviewForms.xhtml

10 Identification of drains as “Storm” or “Sanitary” must occur before work begins Available Resources: Site drawings/GIS Construction drawings FESS - Engineering Storm & Sewer Drains

11 Storm water runoff is:  Collected in a broad network of ditches and diverted to lakes and ponds.  Used for industrial cooling.  Discharged offsite via Kress creek, Indian creek and Ferry creek.  Regulatd by a NPDES Permit

12 o Storm drains must be protected on construction projects. o Discharge to storm sewers from any sources other than storm or cooling water is prohibited.

13

14  Discharges containing pollutants to the sanitary sewer system from projects must be evaluated.  Requirements & Guidance FESHM 8025.  Unsure if it can go in the sewer? Consult ESH&Q Environmental Protection Group

15 o FESS Engineering reviewed needed prior to making any modifications to any Fermilab sanitary sewer system. o Proper domestic water backflow and cross connection prevention reviewed by FESS Engineering. o If not working through FESS follow your D/S/C procedure.

16 Regulated Chemical Waste & Radioactive Waste  TM/CC has oversight responsibility.  Requirements are typically contractual.  Radioactive waste must be managed by Fermilab.  Regulated chemical waste must be reviewed by the Hazard Control Technology Team: CALL x4498.  Metals recycling has its own approval process

17  Subcontractors are required to recycle and report amounts diverted.  Subcontractors typically arrange disposal hauler services.  T&M jobs may use dedicated onsite construction recycling dumpsters.  You need to know what NOT to put in a dumpster.

18 Household waste is not acceptable in Fermilab dumpsters.

19  Scrap metals for recycling generated from projects is to be placed in dedicated bins.  Not in construction & demolition dumpsters.

20  Metals cannot be recycled from a radiological area!!!  Contact the area Radiation Safety Officer prior to recycling any metal. Waste Management: Metals Recycling

21  Spills must be contained and cleaned up.  Local control of small spills of non-hazardous materials is ok. Must be done promptly.  Personnel observing an imminent or actual spill that cannot be readily controlled with equipment at hand must call 3131.

22  Undocumented historical contamination ◦ We know where most things happened and have cleaned up those we know, but it’s a big site...  Something of archeological significance  Find something abnormal? Contact the ESHQ Environmental Protection Group Encountering Unknowns

23 To Review  Protecting the environment is an element of your job.  TM/CCs have certain responsibilities.  Use available resources and tools.  Fermilab is obligated to comply with all environmental regulations.
