SECTION 3: [GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES]{.underline}

1.  The Kennedy Space Center is located on the East Coast of Central
    Florida. Areas of the Center not used for operations are part of the
    Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and are managed by the U.S.
    Fish and Wildlife Service. The Center is adjacent to the Atlantic
    Ocean, the Indian River Lagoon system, and encompasses most of the
    Canaveral National Seashore (managed by the National Park Service).
    The Center has a large number of threatened and endangered species
    (T&E) and is recognized as a setting with unique ecological
    features. Maintaining and improving the environment is a goal of
    NASA as an Agency. In addition, KSC lists Environmental Leadership
    as a Guiding Principle and environmental considerations should be
    taken into account in every operation at the Center. All personnel
    share the responsibility for environmental stewardship. This
    document outlines the environmental programs that affect KSC and
    describe programs KSC has in place to ensure the operational impacts
    to the environment are minimized.

\* 3.2 Environmental Program Branch (EPB) Responsibilities

a.  The EPB represents KSC on the NASA Environmental Management Board
    and the NASA Energy Efficiency Board.

b.  The EPB is responsible for managing the KSC Environmental Programs
    at KSC. Responsibilities include coordination and integration of all
    environmental programs (compliance, restoration, prevention,
    affirmative procurement; acquisition for pollution prevention;
    recycling and conservation); all formal contacts with environmental
    regulatory agencies; cease and desist authority for all polluting
    activities; all ambient environmental and ecological monitoring,
    compliance monitoring and surveillance; remediation of contaminated
    sites; and sampling at contaminated sites.

c.  The EPB is the NASA Principle Center for Recycling and Affirmative
    Procurement. Responsibilities include providing leadership and
    expertise in recycling and affirmative procurement throughout NASA's
    centers by incorporating the pollution prevention hierarchy of
    source reduction, and recycling/reuse. This program will be carried
    out through compliance with EO 13101, the NASA Implementation Plan
    and NPG 8830.1.

d.  The EPB chairs the Environmental Working Group (EWG), Pollution
    Prevention Working Group (P2WG), and the Energy Working Group for
    the purpose of discussing and disseminating environmental policy and
    information to Center organizations.

e.  The EPB will follow KSC ISO 9000 documentation requirements,
    whenever applicable, and will attempt to make documents available
    electronically through the NASA TechDoc System or on the EPB Home
    Page.

3.3. Organizational Responsibilities

> Each civil servant and contractor operational and tenant organizations
> will designate one or more OR's for their activities. Each
> organization should also designate an Environmental Working Group
> (EWG), Energy Working Group, and Pollution Prevention Working Group
> member(s).

4.  Documentation and Control

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
a.  Environmental documents required for KSC's actions by federal,
    state, and local laws and regulations will be prepared by either the
    organizations initiating the actions or by the organization
    preparing the design, as indicated within the sections of this KHB.
    Organizations responsible for maintaining onsite documentation (as
    established by regulation or permit condition) will ensure the
    proper documentation is readily available for internal or regulatory
    inspections.

b.  The organization generating documentation on-site, which must be
    included as part of an official communication with an environmental
    organization external to KSC or which is necessary for Centerwide
    inventories and permit compliance, must ensure copies are available
    to the EPB. The EPB will ensure copies of all approved permits and
    other applicable documentation from sources external to KSC are
    forwarded to the appropriate OR and will maintain a centralized
    official file for this documentation. Specific documentation
    required is detailed in each section of this KHB.

c.  The EPB is the Center's single interface for official communications
    with environmental regulatory agencies and other organizations
    external to KSC (e.g., NASA Headquarters and Enterprise Offices)
    regarding environmental issues. Official communications include
    negotiating permit conditions, enforcement orders, compliance
    agreements, and discussions that impact KSC-wide programs and
    operations or have multi-directorate implications. The gathering of
    information by a contractor to provide advice, opinions,
    recommendations, or ideas to Governmental officials is encouraged,
    as is contractor participation in Agency meetings or discussions
    with regulatory officials. Having EPB as a single interface is
    intended to ensure consistency of application of environmental
    program requirements across the Center, to present a consistent
    position to parties external to the Center, and to meet Office of
    Federal Procurement Policy and NASA Headquarters' mandates regarding
    inherently governmental functions. Activities that require the
    exercise of discretion in applying Governmental authority, or the
    making of commitments that bind the United States to take some
    action, either by contract, policy, regulation, authorization,
    order, monetary payment or otherwise, are considered inherently
    Governmental and should be reserved to the performance of Government
    employees.

d.  When environmental regulations require interpretation, the EPB shall
    coordinate and document policy for KSC organizations. Any KSC
    organization may request clarification of KSC environmental policy
    or provide draft "Best Management Practices" for their operations to
    the EPB. The EPB, whenever possible, will provide a response based
    on in-house expertise or previously negotiated agreements.

e.  When necessary, the EPB will request clarification from and
    negotiate new agreements with the appropriate regulating agencies,
    coordinate the responses with KSC organizations through the EWG or
    through the OR and document the final agreements as either
    "Environmental Policy," or "Best Management Practices." A copy of
    each agreement will be sent to each OR for further distribution
    within that organization. This documentation will be incorporated
    into a permanent file maintained by the EPB and made available to
    KSC organizations for review. A current list of these documents can
    be found on the EPB Home Page and they will also be available in the
    electronic documentation system established by NASA-KSC (TechDoc).

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
5.  Controls

    a.  All KSC organizations (NASA and contractor) are responsible for
        ensuring all actions taken under their authority and funding
        meet the applicable requirements of all federal, state and local
        environmental laws and regulations including obtaining all
        required environmental permits. Each organization must ensure
        that controls on employee and contractor and subcontractor
        activities are established and maintained to prevent
        noncompliance.

    b.  The EPB will evaluate and maintain current knowledge in all
        environmental protection regulations and will make appropriate
        KSC procedures and controls available to help assure compliance.

    c.  All KSC organizations are responsible for ensuring the essential
        requirements of the "Environmental Policy" and "Best Management
        Practices" are included in all applicable operating procedures
        and in the terms of all prime contracts. KSC contractors are
        responsible for ensuring these requirements are included in the
        applicable terms of all subcontracts.

    d.  Operational controls to ensure environmental compliance must be
        incorporated into all construction contracts.

    e.  Model clauses for construction contracts are included in
        Appendix A. These clauses are illustrative-only and need not be
        incorporated verbatim into operating procedures and/or
        contracts.

6.  Testing, Inspection, Monitoring and Reporting

> Testing, inspection, monitoring, and reporting required to comply with
> environmental regulations are detailed in each section of this KHB.
> KSC organizations are responsible for ensuring the appropriate
> requirements of the regulations are fulfilled. The EPB and the
> appropriate OR will accompany all outside environmental compliance
> agencies on inspections of KSC facilities and operations. The EPB will
> be contacted immediately if outside environmental agencies request
> access to KSC's property for inspection or observation.

7.  Training

> For training required by regulation, KSC organizations will ensure
> personnel receive proper training prior to engaging in the regulated
> activity. Mandatory training is specifically set forth in CFR's and
> other regulations. Training required for work on a particular site
> will be noted on the response sheet to the Environmental Checklist
> (i.e., Record of Environmental Consideration).

8.  Public Involvement

    a.  Public involvement through public notice, comments, and/or
        inputs will be required at times to support environmental
        actions at KSC. Actions include certain permit
        applications/modifications, Environmental Assessments (EA), and
        Environmental Impact Statements (EIS).

    b.  Public involvement also occurs through workshops, public
        meetings, public hearings, and administrative hearings. The
        workshop is the most informal and is a meeting to inform the
        public of the status of a specific topic and to answer any
        questions the public might have. The public meeting is also an
        informally structured meeting to discuss a specific topic and to
        get the public's input. This type of meeting is a requirement
        for RCRA permit modifications and may be attended by the
        regulatory agency involved. A public hearing is a formally
        structured meeting run by the interested Governmental Agency and
        is part of the public record. An administrative hearing is a
        legal proceeding run by a Hearing Officer. It is conducted after
        an Intent to Issue Permit has been challenged and is attended by
        lawyers for the challenging and the defending parties.

    c.  While the ultimate responsibility for these meetings will reside
        with the EPB, it will be the task of the OR to support the
        technical aspects of the meetings and coordinate the details
        with the EPB, such as date, time, place, and meeting set-up.

    d.  While the EPB will be responsible for the final content and
        release of information to outside agencies, the general public,
        and the media (through the External Affairs Office), the OR will
        be required to provide technical input to meeting notices, press
        releases, and fact sheets.

SECTION 4: [ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST AND IMPACT STATEMENTS]{.underline}

1.  Regulatory Relationships

> The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 levied the
> requirement for all federal agencies review their actions for
> environmental effects and when the action could or would produce a
> significant effect, the proposal be publicly reviewed. The Act also
> establishes the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) to administer

> issues. As the law relates only to federal agencies and their actions,
> no state regulations apply and no state agencies have authority to
> administer the program. However, public review is required, therefore,
> the appropriate state and local agencies must be consulted and their
> comments on projects solicited.

\* 4.2 Documentation

a.  Use of Environmental Checklist for KSC Project Site Requests

When a new facility or project involving the construction or
modification of a facility is proposed, site approval must be obtained
through the Spaceport Services Directorate. As these activities often
involve impacts to the environment, a KSC Environmental Checklist must
be prepared for each project
([KDP-P-1727](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1727&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)).
The checklist should be completed by the project initiator, signed by
the requestor, and submitted to EPB prior to the submittal of a siting
request, unless all "NO's" were checked for the project. In which case,
the checklist must be signed by the requestor and filed in the official
project file. For those checklist submitted to the EPB, the EPB will
respond with a Record of Environmental Consideration (REC). The
completed REC or checklist with all marked, whichever is appropriate,
for the chosen alternative should be attached to the siting request.
Refer to
[KDP-P-1730](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1730&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)
for the process of evaluation excavation permits in EPB. No siting
request will be approved without a completed approved checklist
attached.

b.  Use of AF Form 813 for CCAFS Projects

> When a new facility or project involving the construction or
> modification of a facility on CCAFS is proposed, an AF Form 813,
> "Request for Environmental Impact Analysis," is required by the Air
> Force. Form 813 will be completed by the EPB using information from
> the completed KSC Environmental Checklist. The EPB will forward the
> signed AF 813 to CCAFS and contact the affected OR if more information
> is needed and when the response is received from the Air Force (AF).

c.  NEPA Documentation

    1.  Environmental Analysis

        a.  The NEPA of 1969 requires federal agencies to prepare an
            Environmental Analysis of any action undertaken that could
            result in a significant impact on the environment. The
            initial process of environmental review of projects and
            actions under this requirement is depicted in
            [KDP-P-1727](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1727&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf).
            The KSC Environmental Checklist is a document prepared to
            aid in this early identification of environmental issues and
            requirements associated with proposed work and activities.
            The project lead or requester for a project or action is
            responsible for completing the KSC Environmental Checklist
            portion of this form at the earliest possible time and
            submitting it to the appropriate OR for the organization
            proposing the project. A copy of the form and detailed
            instructions for its completion are available on the KSC EPB
            Home Page.

        b.  Once all the pertinent information is received, the primary
            organization's OR signs the appropriate space on the form;
            if all "NO's" were completed in Section 2b, the OR marks the
            appropriate box and files the checklist. If further
            evaluation is needed, the OR signs and forwards the document
            to the EPB. EPB will then prepare a REC for the project and
            return it to the OR.

        c.  If the project is categorically excluded from further
            evaluation, because of a lack of impacts, the EPB will mark
            the appropriate space on the REC.

        d.  The REC will list all environmental requirements for the
            project including permits, outside consultations, and
            special procedures or processes that must be used during
            project implementation.

        e.  If the EPB determines a formal environmental assessment (EA)
            will be required, EPB will prepare the EA. If special
            studies are required, EPB may request funding from the
            appropriate program/project office. If an Environmental
            Impact Statement (EIS) is required, the primary
            organization's OR will be requested to contact the
            appropriate NASA Headquarters' official to obtain funding
            for the preparation of the EIS. Preparation of the EIS will
            be coordinated between the EPB and NASA Headquarters with
            support of the primary organization with programmatic
            responsibility. Refer to
            [KDP-P-1726](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1726&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)
            for the process of Environmental Assessments.

d.  Environmental Resources Document

> The EPB will prepare and update the Environmental Resources Document
> (ERD) required by 14 CFR 1216.3. The ERD will be used by preparers of
> EA's and EIS's as a reference document to avoid restating similar
> material. The ERD will cover areas prescribed in 14 CFR 1216.3 and
> will be updated yearly with page changes, if needed, and will be
> rewritten every five years. The ERD can be found on the KSC EPB home
> page.

Section 5: [Pollution Incident REPOrting and Notification]{.underline}

\* 5.1 Regulatory Background

a.  Hazardous materials in amounts varying from several ounces of
    relatively benign substances to thousands of gallons of toxic,
    flammable and/or explosive materials are received and handled
    throughout KSC each day.

b.  Unpermitted releases must be reported to the Environmental Program
    Branch (EPB) as "pollution incidents," because the environmental
    impact that may result is regulated by federal or Florida Codes or
    because the circumstances of the release, such as the location or
    nature of the release, may result in violations of Code.

c.  All unpermitted releases at KSC shall be reported using the KSC
    Incident Reporting and Notification Form (PIR), KSC Form 21-555 (as
    revised). The following are general exemptions from the reporting
    requirement:

    1.  Quantity of hazardous material released is 4 ounces or less.

    2.  Release occurs inside a facility and does not reach the outside
        environment.

    3.  Release is considered a fugitive emission or is contained as a
        standard operating procedure (e.g., drips from disconnection of
        fluid lines).

    4.  Release occurs on impervious surface and is cleaned up without
        aid from JBOSC spill response and with no impact to soil or
        water. (Exception is a release from a storage tank system to its
        secondary containment, which must be reported.)

d.  There are four primary Federal Statutes that require release
    reporting:

    1.  CERCLA Section 103 (40 CFR Part 302.6, Part 300.405) -

> Requires that the release of a CERCLA hazardous substance that meets
> or exceeds the reportable quantity (RQ) set forth in 40 CFR 302.4 must
> be reported to the National Response Center (NRC).

2.  EPCRA Section 304 (40 CFR Part 355.40) -

> Requires that the release of an RQ or more of an EPCRA extremely
> hazardous substance or a CERCLA hazardous substance (one pound or more
> if a reporting trigger is not established by regulation).

3.  CWA Section 311 (40 CFR Part 110.10, Part 300.300) -

> Requires that the release of oil be reported to the NRC if the
> release:
>
> \(1\) violates applicable water quality standards; (2) causes a film,
> sheen or discoloration of the water or adjoining shoreline; or (3)
> causes a sludge or an emulsion to be deposited beneath the surface of
> the water or upon the adjoining shorelines.

4.  HMTA Section 1808 (49 CFR Part 171.15) -

> Requires that the release of a DOT hazardous material during
> transportation be reported to the NRC under certain circumstances such
> as death, injury, significant property damage, evacuation, highway
> closure, etc.

e.  Pollution Incident Release Reporting Requirements

    1.  At the Kennedy Space Center and NASA/KSC-operated facilities
        located at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), releases
        must be reported verbally to the EPB at 867-4280 or 867-4556
        within eight hours of the incident.

    2.  In cases where the EPB cannot be reached, such as second or
        third shift or on the weekend, the JBOSC Support Operations
        Office shall be notified at 853-5211. The Operations Officer
        will notify the appropriate personnel.

    3.  Within three working days of the incident, the responsible party
        must submit a KSC PIR (KSC Form 21-555 (as revised)) as
        completely as possible based on the best available knowledge of
        the incident.

    4.  Information required by the EPB for verbal notifications and for
        completion of KSC Incident Reporting and Notification Form
        (PIR), KSC Form 21-555 (as revised) is:

        a.  Date of incident

        b.  Time of incident

        c.  Contact person, name and telephone number

        d.  Location of contact person

        e.  Substance released

        f.  Location of the incident

        g.  Quantity of release

        h.  Release effects

        i.  Incident description

        j.  Incident cause

        k.  Action taken to respond, contain or cleanup incident

        l.  Health risks

        m.  Injuries

        n.  Personnel notified (e.g., 911, Duty Office)

    5.  Maps are especially useful when reporting petroleum spills,
        because the off-site notification requirement includes written
        notification. A map showing spill locations should be attached
        to the forms submitted to the EPB. The map can be a rough sketch
        or a facility utilization map showing compass directions,
        buildings, landmarks, spill location and approximate area
        covered by spill.

    6.  In some cases, the PIR and map may be required by the EPB more
        quickly than the KSC Mail System can deliver. In these cases,
        the OR and the responsible contractor will be notified and
        required to either hand carry or electronically transmit the
        report to the EPB.

    7.  The EPB shall be responsible for determining if the release is a
        reportable quantity of a reportable substance. The EPB shall be
        the KSC point-of-contact for all notification and correspondence
        about any release to off-site authorities. Substances which
        require EPB to contact off-site authorities include:

        a.  Petroleum products:

            1.  Brevard County, verbal, followed by written appropriate
                FDEP form. Maps are desirable.

            2.  National Response Center, verbal, if discharged to
                surface waters.

        b.  Extremely hazardous substances:

> State Emergency Response Commission, verbal.

c.  CERCLA hazardous substances:

    1.  National Response Center, verbal.

    2.  State Emergency Response Commission, verbal.

d.  Industrial Wastewater Emergency Overflow:

> FDEP, verbal, written as requested.

e.  Sewage releases:

> FDEP, verbal, written with next monthly report.

f.  Air releases of emissions exceeding permitted limits:

> FDEP, verbal, followed by written report at FDEP's discretion.

g.  PCB's:

> National Response Center, verbal.

8.  Any sampling required at the incident site either initially or
    long-term follow-up will be coordinated with the EPB. The OR will be
    notified verbally and/or in writing by the EPB of the response from
    the off-site authorities regarding the verbal release notification.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
f.  Pollution Incident Reports

    1.  The PIR will be kept by the EPB. The EPB will provide a monthly
        status of the reports received during the previous month to the
        affected organization's OR, if requested.

    2.  Besides being an internal account of spills at KSC, the PIR is a
        mechanism for identifying sites requiring remediation. A
        detailed description of the incident on the report form is
        necessary to support the EPB request for funding from NASA
        Headquarters to investigate and remediate the site.

    3.  A database of PIR's is maintained by EPB and is used to store
        information on reported releases. Compiling information in this
        manner allows for the evaluation of incidents for trends and to
        rapidly answer questions concerning spills reported at the
        Center. Refer to
        [KDP-KSC-P-1728](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-KSC-P-1728&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)
        for PIR process requirements.

    4.  PIR data is also used to support other environmental programs at
        KSC such as:

        a.  Compliance and Enforcement Support

        b.  Permit Nonconformance

        c.  Environmental Planning

        d.  Statistical and Trend Analysis

        e.  Academic Research

        f.  Property Transfer/Site Audits

        g.  Remediation

SECTION 6: [PERMITTING AND COMPLIANCE]{.underline}

\* 6.1 Permit Application Review and Submittal

a.  When a Record of Environmental Consideration (REC) is returned with
    a requirement for a permit, the initiating organization is
    responsible for preparing the permit application, including signing
    and sealing, when required. The EPB may be contacted for guidance
    concerning preparation of the application. The EPB is responsible
    for reviewing and submitting permit applications to the appropriate
    regulatory agency. The environmental permit application review and
    submittal process can be found on
    [KDP-P-1743](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1743&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)[.]{.underline}

b.  Florida regulatory agencies' response to a permit application can be
    either a notice of completeness or a request for additional
    information (RAI). After additional information is provided
    (reference
    [KDP-P-1745](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1745&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)),
    the Agency may continue to ask additional questions until the permit
    application is considered complete by the Agency.

c.  After the permit application is deemed complete, the regulatory
    agency must indicate intent to issue the permit (or in the case of
    St. Johns River Water Management District, arrange for a governing
    board review). Typically, a draft permit is received within a 14-day
    turnaround period for comments to the Agency. EPB will send the
    draft permit to the lead OR upon receipt. When comments are
    resolved, typically, 30 days is required to advertise the permit
    issuance in a local newspaper, for the regulatory agency to sign the
    permit, and for EPB to receive the permit through the mail.

d.  Permit Conditions. After a permit is received, the EPB will forward
    a copy to the lead OR. The OR is responsible for ensuring the permit
    is available to the office managing construction or operation and
    ensuring compliance with the permit. The OR is responsible for
    ensuring all applicable special and general conditions of the permit
    are included in the work package or construction contract; for
    notifying the EPB when work begins and ends; and for ensuring
    completion of any "Certificate of Completion" and as-built drawings
    required as a condition of the permit. For operational or
    maintenance conditions of permits, the organization conducting the
    operation or maintenance will comply with all the terms of the
    permit, coordinating with and arranging for monitoring support by
    the EPB, keeping the OR informed of any change in the operation
    which could require permit modification, and preparing permit
    modification packages.

e.  Permit Modifications. The EPB should be contacted for determination
    of whether a modification is considered major or minor. The lead OR
    is responsible for forwarding permit modification packages to the
    KSC EPB. Major permit modifications will be reviewed and processed
    like a new permit (see
    [KDP-P-1743](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1743&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)).
    Minor permit modifications may be handled with a notice to the
    regulatory agency or through submission of the as-builts in the
    Certcomp.

f.  Certification of Completion. After work is complete, the lead OR
    will notify the EPB and, within the timeframe indicated in the
    permits, transmit a completed Certcomp with as-builts, as needed.
    The EPB will review the Certcomp, submit it to the regulatory
    agency, and arrange a regulatory agency inspection, if required. If
    a regulatory agency inspection reveals discrepancies in the
    permitted work, the EPB will notify the OR, who will arrange to have
    the discrepancies corrected or explained. If a Certcomp cannot be
    developed within the timeframe indicated in the permit, a request
    for extension must be processed through the EPB.

g.  Operation Permits. Preparation of operation permit applications will
    be the responsibility of the organization conducting or scheduled to
    conduct the permitted operation. When operation permits follow
    completion of construction permits, the organization preparing the
    design will serve as lead organization and ensure construction
    permit is available to and coordinated with the operations
    organization. Following construction, the operation organization
    will become the lead organization. When operation permits are
    independent of any construction permit, the operations organization
    will serve as lead organization for the preparation of the
    application.

h.  Turnover of Permitted Facilities and Systems. Permitted facilities
    and systems will be transferred to the operations and maintenance
    organizations as agreed between affected KSC organizations.

i.  Monitoring Reports. Monitoring reports required by permits are
    addressed in the next subsection of this KHB.

j.  Permit Renewals. Permit renewal applications must be submitted to
    the EPB through the lead OR in the timeframe required by the
    applicable regulation prior to the permit expiration date. The
    development and transmittal of the application will be the same as
    for new permit applications. The organization responsible for the
    permitted system will be considered the lead organization for permit
    renewals.

k.  Permit Fees. The EPB will request permit fees to be paid from funds
    budgeted and funded by the organizations requesting new facilities
    or operations. KSC tenants will provide the fee to the EPB in the
    form of a check payable to the external agency processing the
    permit. A list of permit fees is available from each agency or from
    the EPB. (See
    [KDP-P-1744](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1744&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)
    for permit fee payment process.)

l.  Violations of Permit Conditions. In no case will construction or
    operation begin prior to approval and receipt of a required permit
    nor should the operation violate the conditions of a permit. The OR
    is responsible for ensuring procedures have been developed to ensure
    compliance with permit requirements within their organization. All
    designated OR are responsible for reporting apparent permit
    violations to the lead organization OR and the EPB. The EPB is
    responsible for reporting apparent permit violations to the
    appropriate state or federal agencies and negotiating compliance
    requirements in cooperation with the lead organization.

\* 6.2 Inspection, Monitoring, Testing and Reporting

a.  Inspection

    1.  Environmental regulatory agencies that are authorized to inspect
        may do so at any reasonable time for any permitted or regulated
        facility or activity at KSC. The regulators may give verbal or
        written notice of an impending inspection or the inspection may
        be unannounced. The EPB will be the point-of-contact and will
        accompany the regulator at all times while on KSC property. The
        lead OR or a representative responsible for the permitted
        facility being inspected should also attend the inspection.
        Refer to
        [KDP-P-1748](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1748&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)
        for the regulatory inspection process.

    2.  Permits and regulations list specifically which records the
        regulators will inspect. To assure compliance with the permit,
        regulators can also perform sampling or monitoring on any
        substance or parameter at any KSC facility.

    3.  On-site inspections by regulators may also be required before a
        permit is issued. Again, the EPB, and the OR or a representative
        will accompany the regulator at all times.

    4.  The EPB will be responsible for implementing an internal
        inspection program for KSC. Schedules for internal inspections
        depend upon staffing constraints. The purpose of internal
        inspections is to ensure activities are in compliance with their
        respective permits or with the regulations governing their
        operations. These inspections will not assess punitive damages
        such as those assessed by the regulatory agencies, their purpose
        is to identify compliance concerns so they can be corrected.

    5.  Inspection findings are provided to operational personnel and
        the OR. In general, permitted facilities where routine monthly
        or quarterly monitoring is performed are not inspected unless
        the monitoring shows cause for concern.

    6.  Other facilities or activities, which are inspected annually by
        regulators, will be inspected internally either annually prior
        to the regulator's inspection or every six months to ensure the
        facilities are in compliance. Examples include storage tank
        inspections and air emission unit inspections. Requirements for
        internal inspections may also be triggered by consent orders or
        unannounced inspections by regulators that expose areas of
        concern. Checklists used for internal inspections are provided
        in the applicable program area section of this KHB.

    7.  Routine inspections of facilities or operations are performed by
        the facility manager or qualified operational personnel.
        Requirements for routine inspections and recordkeeping are
        specified in regulations. Examples of required routine
        inspections include weekly inspection of secondary containment
        for storage tanks and weekly inspections of hazardous waste
        storage facilities. Facility operators shall know which
        inspections are required, shall perform the inspections, shall
        keep applicable records, and shall make them available for the
        inspection.

    8.  Guidance on the inspection requirements is available from the
        EPB. Refer to
        [KDP-P-1747](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1747&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)
        for the internal inspection process.

b.  Monitoring

    1.  Environmental monitoring of operational areas at KSC is
        performed to determine if operations currently have or in the
        past have had adverse effects on the surrounding environment.

    2.  General and specific conditions listed in all permits give
        instructions on required monitoring for the permitted source.
        Monitoring unique to permit types is explained in the
        corresponding section of this KHB. Permit-related sampling and
        analysis is performed by the EPB Sampling Contractor or
        designated representative. Monitoring results are transferred to
        appropriate forms and transmitted to the operator. The OR or
        representative is responsible for reviewing the data provided by
        the Environmental Sampling Contractor or operational personnel
        to ensure no transcription errors have occurred. The OR is also
        responsible for listing items of noncompliance, and when
        possible, explaining the reason for noncompliance. If the reason
        for noncompliance is unknown, this should be stated and the OR
        should consult with the EPB to determine if an investigation or
        further sampling is required.

    3.  When monitoring reports require an "Operator" or "authorized
        company official" signature, a designated NASA employee will
        sign the report. When the report requires an "owner or
        authorized representative signature," the Chief EPB will sign.
        In no case will a contractor employee sign as Operator or owner
        unless the signature of a licensed operator is required as in
        the case of the Wastewater Treat­ment Facilities and the Drinking
        Water Treatment Plant. In those cases, the licensed operator
        will sign the monitoring reports.

c.  Testing

> Any operational testing required by permit or regulation will be
> performed by the Operator or installer, as applicable. Examples of
> testing are tightness tests for storage tank installations to certify
> the integrity of a tank before it is placed in service and leak tests
> on containment to determine the integrity of the containment system.

d.  Reports

    1.  All required reports of monitoring results will be submitted to
        regulatory agencies through the EPB. The OR must make certain
        the required reports with applicable signatures are submitted to
        the EPB in sufficient time (usually five working days prior to
        submittal) to ensure the reports reach the agencies in the time
        period listed in the applicable permit or regulation. The EPB
        will review the submittal to ensure all required data and all
        signatures are present before transmittal to regulatory
        agencies. The OR will be notified of any deficiencies and is
        responsible for correcting deficiencies. Copies of the
        monitoring data transmitted to the regulatory agency are kept by
        the EPB. A copy of the dated transmittal letter will be provided
        to the OR. Refer to
        [KDP-P-1734](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1734&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)
        for the permit compliance reporting process.

    2.  Any reports of testing results should be maintained on-site and
        a copy forwarded to the EPB through the OR for submittal to the
        proper agency, if required.

    3.  The EPB will track permits requiring monitoring submittals and
        track dates that the reports were submitted. The EPB will notify
        OR's when reports are overdue. The EPB will be the listed
        point-of-contact for all monitoring report submittals and will
        coordinate inquiries from regulatory agencies concerning
        monitoring data.

SECTION 7: [AIR POLLUTION]{.underline}

\* 7.1 Regulatory Requirements

a.  The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires federal facilities to, "comply with
    all federal, state, interstate, and local requirements,
    administrative authority, and process and sanctions respecting the
    control and abatement of air pollution in the same manner, and to
    the same extent as any non-Governmental entity." The Act further
    states that, "This subsection shall apply notwithstanding any
    immunity of such agencies, officers, agents, or employees under any
    law or rule of law."

b.  The EPA has delegated part of its air pollution permitting authority
    under the Clean Air Act to the Florida Department of Environmental
    Protection (FDEP).

c.  This delegation allows the FDEP to issue Prevention of Significant
    Deterioration (PSD) permits and Non-attainment Area Applicability
    (AA) permits for the EPA. These permit programs apply to major
    sources within attainment areas and non-attainment areas,
    respectively. Brevard County is currently considered an attainment
    area for all the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS)
    pollutants.

1.  Documentation

> Refer to Section 5 of this KHB for more information on required
> documentation for all pollution releases including air pollution.

\* 7.3 Permits

a.  Air pollution permits establish specific requirements for emission
    units. To ensure permits are obtained or modified as required by
    regulation, the lead organization, through the OR, must notify the
    EPB of the existence, construction, or modification of air pollution
    emission points.

b.  The OR must ensure procedures are in place to have the permit, or
    the basis for a permit exemption, kept in the vicinity of each
    emission point or filed in one designated central location.

c.  The OR must ensure procedures are developed which ensure permit
    compliance for each emission unit within their organization.

d.  Permit Applications

    1.  Existing Permitted Emission Units

        a.  To modify an emission unit, an application must be submitted
            to the EPB by the OR signed and sealed in accordance with
            Section 6 under Permit Application Review and Submittal
            (paragraph 6.1.a.).

        b.  Renewing the FDEP Title V Air Operation Permit will be the
            responsibility of the EPB, which will compile information
            from each emission unit operator.

    2.  Future Emission Units

        a.  Prior to constructing or initiating operation of an air
            pollution emission unit, a construction permit must be
            obtained from the FDEP. To obtain a permit to construct or
            initiate operation of an emission unit, an application must
            be submitted to the EPB by the OR signed and sealed in
            accordance with Section 6 under Permit Application Review
            and Submittal.

        b.  The emission units with construction permits will be
            incorporated into the Title V Operating Permit. The
            incorporation will be accomplished by submitting an
            application to modify the overall permit. The modification
            will be requested from FDEP at the time that construction is
            complete.

e.  Recordkeeping

> To show each emission unit's compliance with applicable regulatory and
> permit requirements, the OR shall ensure records are kept and
> available to support inspections and annual reporting requirements.
> The EPB will keep records, as necessary, to determine the status of
> KSC as a major or minor source as defined within EPA and FDEP
> regulations, to manage the joint Title V permit conditions, and to
> facilitate the general knowledge of KSC emission units. In addition to
> the files that will be kept, EPB will maintain an air pollution
> database. The OR is responsible for coordinating the submittal to the
> EPB of the data necessary to keep the database current for each
> emission unit.

f.  Controls

    1.  The OR and the EPB must work together to eliminate or minimize
        air pollution emissions.

    2.  Permit Requirements. The type of control technology required for
        a particular emission point is specified in the permit issued by
        the FDEP.

    3.  Prevention of Accidental Releases of Hazardous Air Pollutants

        a.  Accidental releases of hazardous air pollutants are
            regulated under the Clean Air Act (CAA), 42 U.S.C. Section
            7412r.

        b.  The CAA general duty clause establishes a duty, as stated in
            42 U.S.C. Section 7412r(1), "to identify hazards which may
            result from such releases using appropriate hazard
            assessment techniques, to design and maintain a safe
            facility taking such steps as are necessary to prevent
            releases and to minimize the consequences of accidental
            releases which do occur."

        c.  The lead organization (operations), with assistance from the
            EPB and Safety, is responsible for ensuring compliance with
            the general duty clause of the CAA and the regulations
            associated with the prevention of accidental releases.

    4.  Prevention of the Release of Ozone Depleting Substances

        a.  Class I and Class II Substance Provisions of the Clean Air
            Act Amendments of 1990.

            1.  Section 7671(g) requires the EPA promulgate
                "requirements that Class I or Class II substances
                contained in bulk in appliances, machines or other goods
                shall be removed from each such appliance, machine or
                other good prior to the disposal of such items or their
                delivery for recycling" before November 1994. "Effective
                July 1, 1992, it shall be unlawful for any person, in
                the course of maintaining, servicing, repairing, or
                disposing of an appliance or industrial process
                refrigeration to knowingly vent or otherwise knowingly
                release or dispose of any Class I or Class II substance
                used as a refrigerant in such appliance (or industrial
                process refrigeration) in a manner which permits such
                substance to enter the environment. De minimis releases
                associated with good faith attempts to recapture and
                recycle or safely dispose of any such substance shall
                not be subject to the prohibition set forth in the
                preceding sentence." \[42 U.S.C. Section 7671(g)\]

            2.  The OR is responsible for ensuring the CAA requirements,
                and any related regulations, as they pertain to the
                Ozone Depleting Substances are complied with.

        b.  Servicing of Motor Vehicle Air Conditioners.

> The servicing of motor vehicle air conditioners is currently regulated
> under FAC 62-281. The primary organization responsible for the
> servicing of motor vehicle air conditioners must ensure that all
> applicable motor vehicle air conditioner regulations are complied with
> and that responsible personnel are properly trained. Certification of
> training must be maintained and kept on file in the Motor Vehicle Air
> Conditioner (MVAC) servicing shops.

\* 7.4 Inspection, Monitoring, Testing and Reporting

a.  Refer to Section 5 of this KHB for more information on inspection,
    monitoring, testing and reporting associated with all pollution
    releases, including air pollution.

b.  Inspections

    1.  The EPA or the FDEP may inspect KSC for compliance with
        regulatory and permit requirements at any time. FDEP inspects
        KSC for compliance at least once a year.

    2.  All inspections will be coordinated and scheduled through the
        EPB with assistance from the affected OR.

c.  Monitoring and Testing

> FDEP Title V Air Operation Permit requires Visual Emission
> Observations (VEO) monitoring reports to be performed and submitted to
> FDEP for some emission units. The frequency of the monitoring is
> specified in the permit. The performance of compliance monitoring, as
> specified within the permit, will be the responsibility of the EPB.
> The OR must concurrently coordinate with EPB to ensure the monitoring
> is done in time to meet the permit deadline taking into account the
> time needed for review. The FDEP must be notified 15 days prior to
> monitoring, therefore, the OR must contact the EPB and request the EPB
> notify the FDEP of the scheduled monitoring. Once the VEO is completed
> and provided to the OR, the OR will review the reports for accuracy
> prior to submitting to the EPB. Upon the OR acceptance of the VEO, the
> reports will be submitted to the EPB for transmittal to the FDEP.

d.  Reporting

> In addition to the requirement to submit monitoring reports, permits
> may require the submission of calculations showing emissions based on
> the amount of material used in a process over a period of time. These
> reports must be prepared in accordance with the permit requirements
> and submitted by the OR to the EPB, generally at least once a year.
> Refer to
> [KDP-P-1714](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1714&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)

SECTION 8: [WATER POLLUTION]{.underline}

\* 8.1 Regulatory Relationships

> The Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, as amended, and the 1977
> amendments (Clean Water Act) to the Federal Water Pollution Control
> Act require permits and place restrictions on actions in federal
> waterways and wetlands. The Clean Water Act requires federal
> facilities to comply with all federal, state, interstate and local
> pollution control requirements. Federal permit regulations have been
> promulgated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) with EPA
> oversight. Florida pollution control statutes delegate pollution
> prevention control to the Florida Department of Environmental
> Protection (FDEP). The FDEP has promulgated regulations which require
> permits for domestic wastewater systems and industrial wastewater
> discharge. Regulation of surface water management systems and dredge
> and fill permitting are implemented under the Environmental Resource
> Permit (ERP) Program, which is shared jointly by FDEP, COE, and the
> St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD).

\* 8.2 Documentation

> Permit application and processing will be as described under Section
> 6, General Procedures. Permit requirements specific to water pollution
> prevention are as follows:

a.  Environmental Resource Permits

    1.  An ERP is required for any work that creates new impervious
        and/or semi-impervious surfaces with some limited exceptions.
        Existing impervious areas without surface water management
        systems must be upgraded to current treatment standards and
        re-permitted when modified beyond certain parameters. All ERP's
        requiring the construction of a surface water management system
        must be reviewed and concurred by Operator or maintenance
        entity. Inspection reports required of the Operator by the
        permit will be prepared by the OR and submitted to the EPB in
        sufficient time to meet the required submittal date.

    2.  An ERP is also required for any work disturbing a wetland or
        waterway including drainage ditches (other than maintenance
        dredging). Wetland impacts are currently under the permit
        jurisdiction of the COE, the FDEP, and the SJRWMD depending on
        wetland type and jurisdictional definition. Due to agreements
        between these agencies, one permit application will usually
        suffice for all dredge and fill requirements. However, two
        separate permits will be issued and construction may not start
        until both are received approved. In accordance with a
        Memorandum of Understanding between FDEP and SJRWMD, all dredge
        and fill permits will be submitted to SJRWMD except those
        associated with primarily industrial or domestic wastewater
        projects, or other types of projects permitted by FDEP. The
        applicant will in all cases be the Chief of the EPB. Typically,
        there is no Operator for dredge and fill permits, however, when
        wetland creation is required as mitigation for wetland impacts,
        a maintenance organization must be identified as part of the
        mitigation plan. Refer to
        [KDP-P-1743](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1743&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)
        for the process flow for Environmental Resource Permits.

b.  Domestic Wastewater Permits

    1.  Permits are required by the FDEP for modifications, additions
        and tie-ins to sewage lift stations, domestic wastewater
        treatment facilities and domestic wastewater collection systems.
        The OR for the project design organization shall complete a
        permit application and all supporting data completed and
        forwarded to the EPB. The applicant will in all cases be the
        Chief of the EPB. The operating organization will, in all cases,
        be the Chief of Operations of Spaceport Services and all
        domestic wastewater permits must be reviewed and signed or
        concurred by the Chief of Operations of Spaceport Services as
        Operator or Maintenance entity.

    2.  For domestic wastewater treatment facilities permits, a monthly
        operating report is required. The operating report will be
        prepared by the operating organization and submitted through the
        organization OR to the EPB in sufficient time to meet the
        required submittal date. New sewage treatment plant permits and
        renewals of existing domestic wastewater treatment facilities
        permits must address wastewater reuse as part of the
        application. Reuse of domestic wastewater is required by Florida
        law unless it is economically, technically or environmentally
        unfeasible. New or renewal permit applications for domestic
        wastewater treatment facilities must include a wastewater reuse
        plan or show that reuse is not feasible.

c.  Industrial Wastewater

    1.  The Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 and
        the FAC require all organizations whose activities involve the
        generation or disposal of industrial wastewater to maintain
        appropriate facilities, systems, and controls for the safe
        management of all operations. Permits are required for any
        process discharging wastewater to ground or surface waters and
        for any recycling process that has a potential for overflow or
        leakage to ground or surface waters. Monitoring and reporting
        are usually required as conditions of these permits.

    2.  New permit applications and renewals must address the potential
        for reuse, alternative methods of disposal, or source
        elimination of the wastewater discharge as part of the permit
        application. If a permit cannot be obtained from the FDEP for a
        wastewater discharge, the wastewater must be disposed of as
        controlled or hazardous waste in accordance with
        [KHB_8800.7](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KHB_8800.7&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)
        (as revised).

d.  Septic Tank Permits

    1.  Septic tanks are to be installed only when no other reasonable
        alternative to sewage disposal for a project exists. The lead
        organization shall provide a completed application form to the
        EPB. The EPB will notify the OR that the permit has been
        submitted to Brevard County Environmental Health, which has been
        given jurisdiction by the Florida Department of Health.
        Permitting for these facilities is different than the normal
        permit processing, because several inspections are held during
        the construction process.

    2.  Once the permit is received, construction may begin. Upon
        completion of construction of the system, including connection
        of the water supply to the structure, the OR shall contact the
        EPB who will contact the County for the final inspection. A
        representative for the EPB must be present for all inspections.
        Upon installation, the OR shall ensure the system is maintained
        properly. Unless otherwise provided for, the Director of
        Spaceport Services shall be responsible for the operation and
        maintenance (O&M) of all septic tanks installed on KSC property
        and NASA facilities on CCAFS. The OR must ensure O&M support is
        available as a part of the permit coordination process.

    3.  Permitted septic tanks are required to submit operation permit
        applications on an annual basis.

e.  Construction Dewatering

    1.  Documentation

> A Consumptive Use Permit from the St. Johns River Water Management
> District is required for all construction dewatering if the maximum
> estimated daily pumping exceeds 300,000 GPD or duration is greater
> than 30 days. If all dewatering effluent is retained on-site, the
> system is exempt from permitting requirements. If retention on-site is
> not feasible, the OR must prepare a Consumptive Use notification using
> form RDS-50 in accordance with WMD 40C-2.
>
> KSC has a General Construction Dewatering Permit, however, the RDS-50
> must be submitted which describes the project and duration. The amount
> of water pumped must be calculated so that the total gallonage at KSC
> can be submitted to St. Johns when requested by the Agency.

2.  Controls

> The OR must ensure a permit package is developed in accordance with
> the requirements of WMD 40C-2 or ensure all dewatering effluent is
> retained on-site. Preference should be given to retention of water
> on-site. Retention on-site can include creation of a bermed temporary
> retention area to allow effluent to percolate back into the
> groundwater or overland sheet flow of the effluent so it does not flow
> into drainage ditches or waterways. The EPB will review effluent
> retention plans upon request of the OR.

f.  National Pollution Discharge Elimination Systems (NPDES) Permits

    1.  Regulatory Relationships

        a.  The 1987 amendments to the Clean Water Act require NPDES
            permits for stormwater discharges associated with industrial
            activity. In November 1990, EPA issued regulations
            establishing permit application requirements for these
            activities including construction activities.

        b.  The permit requirements for industrial activities and
            construction projects are different in both timing and
            content.

    2.  Documentation

        a.  The Clean Water Act requires any discharge to waters of the
            United States be permitted under the NPDES. This applies to
            both point and nonpoint discharges such as stormwater
            outfalls.

        b.  KSC has one NPDES permit for point source discharges and one
            permit for stormwater discharges. The permit application
            requirements for point source discharges will be submitted
            concurrently by the OR with the applications for State
            permit for these discharges. This data will then be used by
            the EPB to modify the existing NPDES permit, as required.

SECTION 9: [POTABLE WATER]{.underline}

\* 9.1 Treatment Systems

a.  Documentation

> KSC is subject to regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act as a
> supplier, since it operates a Non-Transient Non Community "Public
> Water System" as defined by federal and state regulations. Test
> records are maintained by the KSC EPB and submitted monthly to the
> FDEP.
> [KHB_1870.1](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KHB_1870.1&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)
> establishes requirements for monitoring of potable water at KSC.

b.  Controls

> KSC is supplied treated potable water from the City of Cocoa and the
> City of Titusville Public Water Systems, which are regularly tested.
> Rechlorination stations are installed at KSC where, because of
> distance from the public supply, chlorination levels drop below
> required levels.

1.  Water Conservation and Reuse

> Controls. The OR for each KSC organization will ensure water
> conservation measures are instituted within each KSC organization. All
> new projects must be reviewed to ensure water usage is minimized and
> reuse of wastewater is accomplished, where feasible. Retrofitting of
> existing water usage will be initiated to the extent required by
> regulation. The EPB will ensure OR's are advised of current
> regulations for water conservation and reuse.

2.  Permitting Requirements

    a.  Permits are required prior to start of construction for:

        1.  Any extension or tie-in to the KSC potable water system
            with:

            a.  2 inch i.d. or greater line size without a meter or,

            b.  1-1/4 inch i.d. or greater with a meter

        2.  Any construction of, or modifications of the treatment
            system.

    b.  Permits are not required for:

        1.  Water main extension to a single service connection when
            extension is two inches or less in diameter. (Permits may or
            may not be required for single service connections greater
            than two inches, but less than four inches in diameter. In
            these cases, a letter requesting permit determination should
            be submitted to the NASA EPB for review and disposition by
            FDEP. The letter should include a project description and a
            sketch or drawing of the extension.)

> NOTE: A single service connection serves a single residential lot or
> business building not to be used for further development nor for use
> for 24-hour irrigation.

2.  Repairs or replacement of lines using existing design (i.e., same
    size, location).

3.  Demolition/construction inside of buildings/structures.

4.  Extensions solely for the purpose of adding or relocating fire
    hydrants provided that the extension is less than 50 feet. In these
    cases, a sketch of the extension must be submitted to the EPB for
    review and approval by FDEP.

5.  Although permits are not specifically required, it is expected that
    any work done will:

    a.  Be per standards and criteria, that would have been required had
        there been a permit issued by the Department and,

    b.  Not jeopardize the health and safety of personnel, due to
        effects of the construction/modification on the KSC PW system
        (i.e., backflow preventers will be installed, as required;
        disinfection and verification prior to use).

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
c.  The organization responsible for the work will ensure that best
    engineering practices, codes, specifications and standards are
    followed. Pressure and leak tests, as well as disinfection, are also
    required.

d.  Upon completion and prior to use of the extension or other
    construction, the engineer of record or professional engineer, who
    is responsible for construction, must submit the following:

    1.  FDEP Form 62-555.910(9), "Certification of Construction
        Completion and Request for a Letter of Clearance to Place a
        Public Drinking Water Facility into Service."

    2.  As-built drawings (if substantially different from the original
        application drawings).

    3.  Copy of satisfactory bacteriological results (absence of total
        coliform in two consecutive daily water samples).

    4.  Copy of asbestos sampling results from downstream location, if
        asbestos piping is affected.

e.  FDEP will review this data and if satisfactory, provide notification

    the EPB on at least a quarterly basis. Records of interest include,
    but not limited to, autoclave logbooks, contingency plans, waste
    shipping manifests, training, operation plan and the biomedical
    waste bag report.

SECTION 13: [BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS/EXPOSURE CONTROL]{.underline}

1.  The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires employers
    with employees who could possibly come in contact with blood or
    potentially infectious materials to have an Exposure Control Program
    for awareness and training. This is regulated by Title 29, Code of
    Federal Regulations, Part 1910.1030. Examples of positions at KSC
    covered by an Exposure Control Program are all Medical Personnel,
    Emergency Response Crews, Payload Engineers and Processors, Stow and
    De-stow Crews, Lab Technicians, Housekeeping and Groundskeepers. The
    EPB will provide guidance and direction on meeting these
    requirements.

\* 13.2 At KSC, the Occupational Health Office establishes requirements
for the Bloodborne Pathogen and Exposure Control Programs. Refer to
[KBM-PL-1.4](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KBM-PL-1.4&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)
for the NASA Bloodborne Pathogen Program Plan. The EPB is responsible

established by each affected employer. The plan must be reviewed on an
annual basis by the contractor and a signed copy forwarded to the EPB.

\* 13.4 Training must be provided to employees and training records must
be maintained for a minimum of three years. The EPB will inspect these
records on an annual basis.

SECTION 14: [STORAGE TANKS]{.underline}

1.  Regulatory Relationships

The provisions of 40 CFR 280 govern design and maintenance requirements
for underground storage tanks. There are currently no federal
regulations covering aboveground storage tanks, except that 40 CFR 112
requires Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) plans for
all oil storage tank facilities. Underground and aboveground storage
tank registration and regulation are covered in Florida under FAC

62-761. As provided for in the FAC, the FDEP has contracted with Brevard
County Office of Natural Resources Management to administer the Storage
Tank Program in Brevard County. County representatives oversee all tank
activities at KSC including registration, closure, and annual compliance
inspections.

\* 14.2 Documentation

a.  Storage Tank Listing

> Facility managers are responsible for providing an accurate listing of
> all storage tank systems at their sites, including underground,
> aboveground, out-of-service and unmaintained tanks. The tanks will be
> identified to the EPB through the respective OR. The complete listing
> of tank systems at all NASA facilities both at KSC and CCAFS will be
> maintained by the EPB.

b.  Registration

    1.  Requirements for registration of storage tanks with the FDEP are
        listed in FAC 62-761 for Storage Tank Systems. Types of systems
        exempt from the registration and compliance requirements based
        on contents or use of the contents are also listed in the FAC.
        However, the exemptions can be repealed by the legislature at
        any time after adequate public notice has been given. Therefore,
        all tanks should be identified on the tank survey forms, even if
        a current exemption exists.

    2.  All storage tanks at construction sites, including wheeled
        mobile tanks or tanks on skids, must be identified to the EPB if
        the tank will be on-site for longer than 180 days. The OR
        responsible for the construction site must notify EPB within 15
        days of the placement of the tank. The OR shall also inform the
        EPB when the tank is taken off-site. As with all tank sites, the
        tank site must have containment sufficient to avoid
        contamination of soils under the tank. A tank on skids which
        remains in place for more than 180 days is not considered to be
        a mobile tank. If the tank meets other requirements for
        registration, such as size and use of the contents, then the
        tank will be registered with the FDEP by the EPB.

    3.  All aboveground, underground, out-of-service, and unmaintained
        tanks so identified will be registered with the Brevard County
        Office of Natural Resources Management. The current FDEP tank
        registration forms will be used. The EPB will be responsible for
        filing the registration and maintaining records of all
        registered tanks. The OR will be provided with copies of tank
        registrations for dissemination to applicable organizations. The
        Chief of the EPB will be listed as the owner of all tank systems
        on NASA property and will sign registration forms. All tanks
        will be registered under the KSC Property Office Facility Number
        for the tank.

    4.  Facility managers will be responsible for informing the EPB
        through their respective OR of any change in the status of a
        tank system so registration and listings of tanks can be updated
        and FDEP notified, if required. Registration updates are
        required for change in status including, but not limited to,
        changing the contents of a tank system, changing the end use of
        the contents of a tank system, placing the tank out-of-service,
        or abandoning the tank as an unmaintained tank.

    5.  The EPB will make the required notifications, as required by
        FDEP, with input from the OR.

3.  Financial Responsibility

> As a federal facility, KSC is exempt from the requirement to show
> proof of financial ability to pay for facility cleanup in the event of
> a discharge. However, KSC is still responsible for the cleanup of any
> discharge on NASA property.

4.  New Storage Tank Installations and Upgrades to Existing Tank Systems

> The requirement for a tank system installation or modification at a
> facility is identified during completion of the Environmental
> Checklist through the respective OR. All new tank systems must meet
> requirements outlined in the REC.

\* 14.5 Closures

> Disposal of sludge must be in accordance with
> [KHB_8800.7](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KHB_8800.7&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)
> (as revised). Sampling associated with tank closure will be
> coordinated with the EPB. Before permanent closure, the tank site must
> be examined to determine if a release has occurred, and samples must
> be taken where contamination is most likely to be present.
> Requirements for sampling and reporting per FAC and the FDEP Pollutant
> Storage Tank Closure Assessment Requirements must be followed.

\* 14.6 Inspection, Monitoring, Testing and Reports

a.  Inspections

> The FDEP has delegated the responsibility for inspection of storage
> tanks to the Brevard County Office of Natural Resources Management.
> The County Office will inspect at least annually all aboveground and
> underground storage tanks registered by NASA. OR's will be notified in
> advance of the inspection. All records required by FAC should be
> available for inspection. Records required for inspections include
> those listed in the recordkeeping section. In addition, all keys to
> dispensers at vehicular fuel facilities must be available for the
> inspection. The inspection will be supported by the EPB. The OR or
> designated representative responsible for the permitted facility being
> inspected should also be present. Following the inspection, the County
> Inspector will issue a report noting violations found. The recipient
> of the report will be the EPB. All remedies to violations will be
> coordinated through the EPB and the OR, and the EPB will answer all
> violations with either a solution that has already been implemented or
> with a schedule for remedying the violation. Additional internal
> inspections for compliance will be conducted by EPB throughout the
> year and will be supported by the EPB. Refer to
> [KDP-F-2566](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-F-2566&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)
> for the KSC Storage Tank Systems Inspection Checklist that includes
> references to applicable regulations.

b.  Compliance Monitoring

    1.  Monitoring requirements for tank systems are listed in FAC
        62-761. The person performing the monitoring should maintain
        logs of all monitoring activities. At KSC, monitor wells are in
        place around some fuel tanks to be used as a method of release
        detection. The wells are sampled monthly by the Environmental
        Sampling Contractor. If a sheen layer is noted in water removed
        from the monitoring wells, the occurrence must be reported to
        the EPB so the proper agencies can be notified. Further sampling
        may be required at the discretion of the EPB. The dispensers at
        vehicular fuel stations will be examined monthly for any visible
        leakage. Any leakage will be reported to the EPB and on a
        Pollution Incident Report Form (KSC Form 21-555). Follow-up
        monitoring of the site to determine the extent of contamina­tion
        will be arranged by memo through the EPB. Aboveground tank
        systems will be inspected weekly by facility managers or
        authorized personnel.

    2.  The secondary containment for AST's should be checked for
        leakage, and the surface of the tank should be examined for
        peeling paint, corrosion and leakage. Valves on secondary
        containment should be kept in a normally closed position,
        preferably locked with a keyed padlock with the facility manager
        responsible for the key. Before any operations involving the
        tanks, the closed position of the valve should be ensured so the
        possibility of any spills spreading outside the containment is
        avoided. Rainwater collected in the secondary containment should
        be detained until the condition of the water can be determined.
        Water in the containment must be inspected for the presence of
        free product, odor or sheen.

    3.  If any contamination is detected or should there be reason to
        believe that the product was introduced to the containment
        system, the entire contents of the containment system are to be
        removed (not released) and treated as an industrial wastewater
        stream. Following a visual inspection for free product, and
        based on the knowledge that there was no event or occurrence to
        indicate that product was introduced to the containment system,
        the discharge valve may be opened and the contained stormwaters
        released to the stormwater retention system. The flow should not
        be directed to surface waters. A retention area near the tank
        location should be used to receive the water and allow it to
        flow to groundwater. Retention areas must be designed per
        stormwater regulation 4OC-42 and KSC Best Management Practices.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
7.  Discharge Notifications

> Any spill, overfill or other discharge of a regulated substance from a
> storage tank system at KSC shall be reported per requirements in
> Section 5 of this KHB.

8.  Recordkeeping

    a.  All facility managers will be responsible for maintaining
        records as required by FAC for tanks. Records required include:

        1.  Daily measurements and reconciliation of inventory for
            vehicular fuel tanks.

        2.  Results of examination of monitor wells and other release
            detection systems.

        3.  Dates of upgrading or replacement of existing storage tank
            systems.

        4.  Results of maintenance examinations on storage tank systems.

        5.  Results of all tightness tests of storage tank systems and
            results of tests on integral piping.

        6.  Descriptions and dates of all repairs.

        7.  Release detection equipment performance claims.

        8.  The inspection log for AST's includes at least the date of
            the inspection, condition of the tank, condition of the
            containment, date stormwater removed from secondary
            containment, and any problems found and when corrected.

    b.  All records must be maintained for two years and must be
        available for inspection during KSC's internal inspections and
        the annual County inspection. FAC 62-761 requires inventory
        records for vehicular fuel tanks be reconciled weekly. For any
        significant loss or gain, the cause must be investigated until
        the source of the discrepancy is found. Vehicular fuel tanks
        with secondary containment are exempt from the inventory
        requirements.

\* 14.9 Requirements for and Development of Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasures Plans

c.  The Clean Water Act, FAC, and Presidential Executive Order require
    all KSC organizations using or storing oils maintain appropriate
    facilities, systems, and controls for safe management of all
    operations. These documents require owners or operators of
    facilities that have discharged, or due to the location would
    reasonably be expected to discharge, oil in harmful quantities into
    the navigable waters of the United States, prepare Spill Prevention,
    Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plans. The SPCC Plan is a
    document that contains an efficient and coordinated plan of action
    to minimize damage from accidental discharges of oils or
    hydrocarbons.

d.  The responsibility for determining if a facility is required to
    develop a SPCC Plan rests with the Directorate responsible for
    operation of the facility with input from the EPB.

e.  When it is determined that a facility requires a plan, the OR for
    operation of the facility is required to write the plan. The plan
    must include the information described in 40 CFR 112.

f.  The plans must be maintained at the facility, if the facility is
    normally attended at least eight hours per day and be made available
    to all personnel working at the facility.

g.  The plan must be reviewed and evaluated at least once every three
    years. As a result of this review, the document must be amended
    within six months to include more effective prevention and control
    technology, if such technology will significantly reduce the
    likelihood of a spill event from the facility and if such technology
    has been field-proven at the time of the review.

SECTION 15: [PESTICIDES]{.underline}

\* 15.1 Documentation

a.  Under Federal Insecticide Fungicide Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), before
    individuals or companies can market or sell a new pesticide in the
    United States, studies must be performed to demonstrate the product
    can be used safely and effectively. Pesticides already registered
    must be characterized to determine if they can be used safely and
    re-registered. If new information becomes available after a
    pesticide is registered, which shows the material does not perform
    as intended or causes adverse effects, the registration can be
    suspended, canceled, or the material reclassified.

b.  FIFRA requires the Government to pay producers, distributors and
    other holders of the product compensation for the economic loss
    associated with suspension and cancellation.

c.  Registration

> All products labeled as pesticides must be registered. The producer
> must submit an application to the EPA giving the product name and
> information concerning product formulation and studies showing
> performance and safety data. If at any time after the registration of
> a pesticide the registrant has additional factual information
> regarding unreasonable adverse effects on the environment by the
> pesticide, the information shall be submitted to the EPA. The EPA will
> consider information and rule on the disposition of the pesticide
> material. In Florida, registration is handled by the Department of
> Agriculture and Consumer Services. This body requires data supplied
> adequately address Florida-specific concerns before the material is
> registered in Florida.

1.  Controls

    a.  Labeling

        1.  All pesticide products must bear a label, the contents of
            which must show clearly the following: the name, brand or
            trademark under which the product is sold; name and address
            of the producer; the net contents; product registration
            number; producing establishment number; ingredient
            statement; warning or precautionary statement; directions
            for use; and the use classification. The label should be
            securely attached to the immediate container of the product.
            When products are stored in bulk containers, whether mobile
            or stationary, a label shall be attached to the container in
            the immediate vicinity of the discharge control valve.

        2.  The label must have the name and percentage by weight of
            each active ingredient, the total percentage by weight of
            all inert ingredients with each ingredient designated as
            active or inert. The name for each ingredient shall be the
            accepted common name, if there is one, followed by the
            common name. In no case will the use of a trademark or
            proprietary name be permitted. For pesticides which change
            in chemical composition significantly with age, an
            expiration date must be given. Warnings concerning
            toxicological hazards including hazard to children,
            environmental hazard, or physical hazards must be on the
            label. Environmental hazards warnings shall include toxicity
            to wildlife and fish, and warnings to keep the pesticide out
            of lakes, streams and ponds. The directions for use shall
            include sites where the product may be used, pests
            associated with each site, dosage rates, method of
            application, frequency and timing of application, limitation
            on reentry to treated areas, and storage and disposal of
            pesticide and its container. It is a violation of federal
            law to use a product in a manner inconsistent with its
            labeling.

    b.  Storage

        1.  Pesticides and excess pesticides (and their containers)
            whose uncontrolled release into the environment would cause
            unreasonably adverse effects on the environment, should be
            stored only in facilities where due regard has been given to
            the hazardous nature of the pesticide, site selection,
            protective enclosures, and operating procedures. Adequate
            measures must be taken to assure personal safety, accident
            prevention, and detection of potential environmental
            damages. The storage criteria following are for pesticides
            and excess pesticides which are highly toxic or moderately
            toxic and are required to bear the words DANGER, POISON, or
            WARNING or the skull and crossbones symbol on the label.
            Storage sites should be located where soil texture/structure
            and geologic and hydrologic characteristics will prevent the
            contamination of any water system by runoff or percolation.
            Drainage from the site should be contained, monitored, and
            if contaminated, disposed of as excess pesticide. The
            storage facility should be a dry, well-ventilated, separate
            room, building or covered area where fire protec­tion is
            provided. The entire storage facility should be kept locked
            to prevent unauthorized entry. Identification signs should
            be placed on rooms and buildings to advise of the contents
            and warn of their hazardous nature. All items of moveable
            equipment used for handling pesticides at the storage site
            should be labeled "contaminated with pesticides" and should
            not be removed from the site unless decontaminated.
            Provisions must be made for decontamination of personnel and
            equipment. All contaminated water should be disposed of as
            excess pesticide.

        2.  Pesticide containers should be stored with the label plainly
            visible. Containers should be in good condition. Metal or
            rigid plastic containers should be checked to ensure lids
            and bungs are tight. Each pesticide formulation should be
            segregated and stored under a sign containing the name of
            the formulation. All containers should be stored off the
            ground in an orderly way to permit ready access and
            inspection. They should be placed in rows with all labels
            visible and with lanes to provide access. A complete
            inventory should be maintained indicating the number,
            identity, and age of containers in storage. Containers
            should be checked regularly for corrosion and leaks.
            Materials for spill treatment, such as, adsorptive clay,
            hydrated lime, and sodium hypochlorite should be kept on
            hand. Safety procedures include use of proper clothing and
            respirators, as required, by precautions on the label. The
            storage facility should be registered with the Fire
            Department and the Department provided with a floorplan
            showing pesticide locations.

    c.  Disposal

> Before disposing of excess pesticides, the owner should try to exhaust
> the supply for the purposes originally intended or return the material
> to the manufacturer or distributor for potential relabeling, recovery
> of resources, or reprocessing. Pesticides and containers must be
> disposed of in a manner consistent with its labeling.

d.  Spills

> Any spills of pesticides, whether in the storage facility or while in
> use, shall be reported per Section 5 of this KHB.

e.  Reporting

> Each application of a restricted use pesticide must be documented and
> the records maintained at the principal place of business for two
> years. The records must include: the date and time of treatment, the
> name of the person directing or authorizing application, location,
> target area, total acreage to be covered, pest to be controlled,
> pesticide used and application rate, type of equipment used, and name
> of applicator. Certification can be revoked for violation of CFR,
> including use of a pesticide inconsistent with its labeling,
> non-maintenance of records, fraudulent records, or use of any
> registered pesticide classified for restricted use in a manner other
> than that use.

f.  At KSC, the Spaceport Services Directorate manages pesticide
    procurement, storage, use, and disposal. The EPB is responsible for
    implementing a Pesticide Storage Inspection Program. Refer to
    [KDP-F-2565](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-F-2565&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)
    for the Pesticide Inspection Checklist that includes applicable
    regulatory references.

g.  Training

    1.  Categories of applicators are identified in CFR and FAC. Each
        category has specific certification requirements for
        applicators.

    2.  In Florida, the categories and knowledge requirements are
        identical to federal requirements. Each applicator will be
        examined to determine competency before certification and
        licensing. The Department of Agriculture will issue an
        applicator license.

    3.  All persons who apply restricted-use pesticides, unless they
        operate under the direct supervision of a licensed applicator,
        shall be licensed in Florida. The handling and application of
        restricted-use pesticides may be accomplished by no more than
        two unlicensed applicators, when they are under the direct
        supervision of a licensed applicator. The licensed applicator
        shall be immediately available, if and when needed. The license
        is in effect for two years, and renewal is contingent upon the
        applicator demonstrating evidence of continued competence.
        Competence can be demonstrated by re-examination or by accruing
        continuing education units through participation in approved
        seminars and professional meetings.

h.  KSC organizations storing, mixing, and applying pesticides will:

    1.  Provide to the EPB, on an annual basis, their current or
        proposed Pest Control Program Document for review and comment.

    2.  Require employees to wear appropriate protective equipment and
        clothing, while mixing and applying pesticides and while
        cleaning equipment used to apply pesticides.

    3.  Assist the EPB in specialized investigations and elimination of
        insects, rodents, etc., associated with infestations of
        spacecraft/vehicles, food serving facilities, food storage
        facilities, and similar type vehicles/facilities.

    4.  Identify to the EPB facilities/areas that require spraying due
        to poor housekeeping practices, poor sanitary habits, or
        potential health hazards to personnel.

    5.  Ensure each operator has two lockers, one for work shoes,
        coveralls, etc., that are not changed daily and the other for
        street clothes. Applicators that have been working with
        pesticides, especially insecticides (e.g., EPA Category I,
        Category II, etc.), must take a shower and change clothes before
        going home after work.

    6.  Maintain records of personnel handling or applying pesticides to
        include:

        a.  Training received

        b.  Date of physical examination

        c.  Accumulated exposure times

    7.  Ensure pesticide workers' physical examinations are performed
        annually on those handling or applying pesticides. In addition,
        blood serum analysis is to be performed annually for those
        handling or applying pesticides.

SECTION 16. [POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYL (PCB) MANAGEMENT]{.underline}

1.  Under the Toxic Substances Control Act, the EPA specifically
    regulates PCB manufacture, usage, storage, and disposal. 40 CFR 761
    establishes prohibitions of and requirements for, the manufacture,
    processing, distribution in commerce, use, disposal, storage, and
    marking of PCB's and PCB items.

2.  At KSC, the Spaceport Services Directorate implements a management
    program for PCB use and storage. This includes the process for
    identification, marking, retrofilling, storage, inspection,
    inventory, and transportation to off-site disposal facilities. Refer
    to
    [KHB_8800.7](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KHB_8800.7&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)
    (as revised) for general and specific PCB waste management
    procedures.

3.  The EPB is responsible for all notifications to regulatory agencies
    about matters concerning PCB compliance at all NASA-owned facilities
    at both KSC and CCAFS.

4.  The EPB will implement an Inspection Program for PCB management and
    will inspect facilities containing PCB items, including the PCB
    Storage Facility, for compliance with applicable regulations on at
    least a semi-annual basis. When compliance concerns are identified,
    the operational organization will be responsible for corrective
    action. Besides a physical inspection of PCB items, the inspections
    will include a review of required records, in particular, the Annual
    Document Log. This log must be completed by July 1, covering
    activities of the previous calendar year. Other required records
    include visual inspection reports, spill cleanup reports, disposal
    manifests, and any correspondence concerning compliance with
    timeframes for disposal. Refer to
    [KDP-F-2563](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-F-2563&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)

SECTION 18: [ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE]{.underline}

1.  Regulatory Relationship

> Under the Noise Control Act of 1972, the State and local Governments
> have primary regulatory authority which federal facilities must honor.
> Florida Statutes direct the Florida Department of Environmental
> Protection (FDEP) to "establish standards for the abatement of
> excessive and unnecessary noise." The Clean Air Act establishes an EPA
> Office of Air, Noise and Radiation. Under the Clean Air Act, the EPA
> may require any federal facility to control noise deemed to be a
> public nuisance.

2.  Documentation

> The KSC Chief Counsel is responsible for responding to any legal
> claims associated with damages alleged to have occurred due to Orbiter
> sonic booms.

\* 18.3 Controls

> The lead organization is responsible for ensuring compliance with the
> regulations. The EPB will assist KSC organizations in determining the
> appropriate actions to control noise and will notify the appropriate
> OR's of any public complaint associated with operational noise,
> including those that may have impacts to wildlife.

\* 18.4 Monitoring

> Monitoring of noise due to public complaint or regulatory intervention
> will be performed by the Pollution Control and Sanitation Officer
> (PCSO). The PCSO will submit the Monitoring Report to the appropriate
> OR's and the EPB will maintain copies.

SECTION 19: [REMEDIATION ACTIVITIES]{.underline}

1.  Regulatory Requirements

> KSC has a Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendment (HSWA) permit that
> mandates the investigation of any releases of hazardous waste or
> hazardous constituents at the facility regardless of the time at which
> the waste was released. KSC is also required to take appropriate
> corrective action for any such releases. The permit also requires the
> facility to comply with all land disposal restrictions. The
> investigation and cleanup of KSC's contaminated sites is performed
> with guidance and direction from the Environmental Protection Agency
> (EPA) Region 4 and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection
> (FDEP).

\* 19.2 Documentation

a.  The EPB shall notify the EPA Regional Administrator and FDEP in
    writing, within 15 calendar days of discovery, of any suspected new
    Area of Concern (AOC) or additional SWMU as discovered. The
    notification shall include, at a minimum, the location of the AOC
    and all available information pertaining to the nature of the
    release (e.g., media affected, hazardous constituents released,
    magnitude of release, etc.).

b.  Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU) Potential Contamination
    Notification

    1.  The EPB shall report to the EPA Regional Administrator any
        noncompliance with this document resulting from a release from a
        solid waste management unit which may endanger human health or
        the environment. Any such information shall be reported orally
        within 24 hours from the time the PCSO becomes aware of the
        circumstances. This report shall include the following:

        a.  Hazardous waste or hazardous constituents, which may
            endanger public drinking water supplies.

        b.  Information concerning the release or discharge of any
            hazardous waste or hazardous constituents, or a fire or
            explosion at the facility, which could threaten the
            environment or human health outside the facility.

    2.  A written report shall also be provided to the Regional
        Administrator within 15 days of the time the PCSO becomes aware
        of the circumstances. The written report shall contain a
        description of the noncompliance and its cause; the period of
        noncompliance (including exact dates and times); whether the
        noncompliance has been corrected; and if not, the anticipated
        time it is expected to continue; and steps taken or planned to
        reduce, eliminate, and prevent recurrence of the noncompliance.
        This report shall include the following:

        a.  Name, address, and telephone number of the owner or
            operator.

        b.  Name, address, and telephone number of the facility.

        c.  Date, time, and type of incident.

        f.  Any assessment of actual or potential hazard to the
            environment and human health outside the facility. Estimated
            quantity and disposition of recovered material that resulted
            from the incident.

c.  SWMU Notification

    1.  The EPB shall report to the EPA Regional Administrator any and
        all areas of concern discovered or suspected having a probable
        release that may endanger human health or the environment. The
        EPA Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) permit will be
        modified to include the new operation or facility on the
        Corrective Action Management Plan (CAMP).

    2.  The EPB will be responsible for the notification and permit
        modification of the HSWA permit. All KSC organizations will
        ensure all discovered or suspected releases to the environment
        are reported to the EPB.

\* 19.3 Modifications to Operational SWMU's

> Modifications to facilities located at, on or in any SWMU's will
> require notification to and approval by the EPA and FDEP prior to the
> implementation of the modification. All KSC organizations will use the
> KSC Environmental Checklist process to identify to the EPB their
> facility modification plans. The EPB will coordinate the modification
> plans with the EPA and FDEP.

\* 19.4 Remediation of SWMU's

> The EPB will maintain a schedule, in accordance with the permit, to
> investigate and cleanup SWMU's and suspected potential release
> locations. The EPB will manage and coordinate with the EPA and FDEP

> EPB. All investigations will be conducted in accordance with the KSC
> Wide Generic Work Plans and the Investigations Derived Waste
> Management Plan.

\* 19.5 Continuing Operations Within SWMU\'s

Once a site is identified as a SWMU, the responsible KSC organization
will conduct a review of all ongoing and new operations to ensure there
are no releases to the environment and provide this review to EPB. The
EPB will review the report, approve the action taken and provide
guidance on training requirements and protective equipment. Any
contamination resulting from operations after this review will be
identified to EPB for reporting to the EPA. The responsible KSC
organization will be required to clean up any contamination resulting
from releases after this review.

\* 19.6 Controls

d.  All KSC organizations that are involved in the handling of hazardous
    waste or materials must ensure that their activities are conducted
    in a manner that prevents the uncontrolled release of these wastes
    or materials into the environment. In the event of a release, the
    responsible organization must take steps to immediately clean up the
    release and limit the area impacted by the release. That
    organization must also notify the EPB by telephone at the time of
    the release per the procedures described in Section 5 of this KHB.

e.  Upon discovery of a contaminated site at a facility through the
    review of procedures, the OR must inform the EPB within 24 hours of
    that discovery.

f.  For those OR's that discovers contamination, or if the EPB informs
    them that there is contamination at their facilities, they shall
    review all ongoing procedures to ensure that current operations are
    not causing or adding to the contamination. The OR will take
    measures to eliminate the sources of any releases. These reviews and
    corrective measures must be provided to the EPB within 30 days of
    being notified of the discovery of contamination.

> The EPB will review these documents to determine if the corrective
> actions are appropriate and provide comments, if required.

g.  The EPB is responsible for the overall investigation of suspected
    and contaminated sites and the management of corrective actions.
    Through the KSC Checklist process, the EPB will issue guidance on
    the requirement for operations and training at active SWMU's.

h.  The EPB will manage the identification and reporting of the sites to
    the regulatory agencies; develop funding through Environmental
    Compliance and Regulation budget; and the selection and management
    of cleanup contractors.

SECTION 20: [TOXIC SUBSTANCES AND EMERGENCY PLANNING]{.underline}

1.  Documentation

    a.  The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) was enacted in 1976 to
        ensure data on the production, use, and environmental and health
        effects of chemical substances were obtained by the EPA and to
        provide a means by which the EPA regulates the manufacture,
        processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of
        chemical substances.

    b.  KSC users of toxic substances should refer to
        [KHB_1840.1](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KHB_1840.1&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)
        (as revised) for direction on the handling, storage, use, or
        disposal of these chemicals. This KHB will cover only the
        requirements to report the use of hazardous substances at KSC
        and CCAFS to proper local, state, and federal agencies.

    c.  The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA),
        which is Title III of the Superfund Amendments and
        Reauthorization Act of 1986, was enacted to require persons to
        report the amount and location of hazardous chemicals produced,
        stored, used, or released to the environment each year in the
        United States.

        1.  EPCRA is divided into three sections:

            a.  Subtitle A - emergency planning and notification of
                hazardous materials (Sections 301 through 304).

            b.  Subtitle B - reporting requirements for chemical
                inventories and releases (Section 311 through 313).

            c.  Subtitle C - general provisions dealing with trade
                secret protection, public access to records, and
                penalties for noncompliance (Sections 321 through 330).

        2.  Reporting Requirements:

            a.  The following sections of EPCRA require reports to be
                submitted to the State Emergency Response Commission
                (SERC) or other regulatory entities. All reports filed
                by KSC will be submitted through the EPB.

            b.  Section 302

                1.  Section 302 is a one-time reporting requirement. Any
                    contractor, who has an extremely hazardous substance
                    (EHS) present at KSC in amounts greater than or
                    equal to the threshold planning quantity (TPQ) of
                    the substance, must notify the EPB. The EPB will
                    then notify the SERC. A list of EHS's and their
                    respective TPQ's is available in 40 CFR 300 and 355.

                2.  To determine whether a contractor has an EHS that
                    meets or exceeds the TPQ, the contractor must
                    calculate the total amount of the EHS present at any
                    one time at the facility, regardless of location,
                    duration, number of containers, or methods of
                    storage. The SERC defines all areas of KSC,
                    including NASA-controlled areas at CCAFS, as one
                    facility. All sources of EHS's, both pure forms and
                    in mixtures at a level greater than or equal to one
                    percent, should be added together and the total
                    amount compared to the TPQ. The unit of the TPQ is
                    pounds. An EHS present in a solution or mixture in
                    an amount less than one percent (de minimis) is
                    exempt and does not have to be added to the total
                    amount for determination of exceedance of the TPQ. A
                    total amount of an EHS present at less than the TPQ
                    is exempt from the Section 302 reporting
                    require­ments. If the amount is equal to or greater
                    than the TPQ, then the contractor is required to
                    report under Section 302.

            c.  Section 303

> Section 303 is a one-time notification to the SERC of an emergency
> contact at the facility. At KSC, the Chief of the EPB is the contact.

d.  Section 304

    1.  Section 304 requires releases of chemicals listed as EHS or
        CERCLA hazardous substances be reported to State and federal
        authorities. These lists are available in the Appendices of 40
        CFR 355 and Table 302.4 of 40 CFR Part 302.

    2.  All spills or releases are to be reported to EPB per
        requirements of Section 5 of this KHB.

e.  Section 311

    1.  Section 311 requires Government agencies to submit Material
        Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) or a list of certain chemicals present
        within their facilities. Chemicals covered by this section are:

        a.  Any of the EHS's that meet or exceed the TPQ or 500 pounds,
            whichever is less.

        b.  Any of the hazardous chemicals that meet or exceed 10,000
            pounds for which OSHA requires an MSDS to be maintained.

        c.  In both cases, the amount is the total amount that is
            present in either a pure form or in a mixture on any one
            day. It is not a cumulative amount.

    2.  No list of OSHA regulated chemicals exists. Chemicals are ranked
        by OSHA as 1 of 9 physical hazards or 1 of 15 health hazards (29
        CFR 1910.1200). An MSDS form will list the hazards associated
        with the substance. In general, if a material has an MSDS, it is
        an OSHA-regulated substance.

    3.  Certain classes of materials are exempt from the OSHA MSDS
        requirement.

    4.  While 40 CFR 355 calls for MSDS's for each chemical that meets
        reporting requirements per Section 311 be submitted to the State
        Committees, the Florida SERC prefers facilities submit a list of
        chemicals instead of the MSDS's. Chemicals on the list must be
        grouped by the five EPA physical and health hazard categories:
        fire hazard; sudden release of pressure hazard; reactive hazard;
        immediate (acute) health hazard; and delayed (chronic) health
        hazard.

    5.  A chemical can fit more than one hazard category and all
        applicable categories should by noted on the report list. The
        OSHA hazard groupings noted on MSDS's must be converted to the
        five EPA categories.

    6.  Each contractor is required to determine which chemicals used,
        stored, or processed by the contractor meet reporting
        requirements under Section 311. Guidelines and formulas for
        calculating chemical quantities are given in the Section.

    7.  Concentrations should be listed on the MSDS for the hazardous
        chemical. If the concentration is not listed, then the person
        reporting is not required to search any further for the value
        and can assume the value is less than 1 percent (or 0.1 percent
        in the case of a carcinogen). The chemical is not required to be
        added to the total amount for comparing to the TPQ.

    8.  Reporting under Section 311 is a one-time requirement. When a
        chemical meets requirements for reporting, then the SERC must be
        notified within 90 days.

f.  Section 312

    1.  Section 312 requires the chemicals covered by Section 311 and
        their location be reported to the SERC on an annual basis. The
        report is due to the SERC by March 1 for the previous calendar
        year.

    2.  EPB will report for all contractors and NASA operations at KSC,
        therefore, each contractor and NASA operator must report amounts
        of covered chemicals that exceed 10 percent of the reporting
        threshold.

    3.  The chemicals and thresholds include:

        a.  Any of the EHS's that meet or exceed the TPQ or 500 pounds,
            whichever is less.

        b.  Any of the hazardous chemicals that meet or exceed 10,000
            pounds for which OSHA requires an MSDS to be maintained.

    4.  In both cases, the amount is that which is present on any one
        day. The amount is not cumulative.

    5.  Lists of EHS's and their TPQ's are given in Appendices of 40 CFR
        355.

    6.  The report will be submitted to the SERC on Florida Tier Two
        forms. The Florida form differs from the federal form slightly
        in that Florida requires the actual amount of the chemical in
        pounds be reported,rather than ranges of weights.

    7.  The SERC has ruled that the entire confines of KSC, including
        NASA-controlled facilities on CCAFS, are one facility.

g.  Section 313

    1.  The Toxic Chemical Releases section applies to federal
        facilities no matter what the mission of the Agency. The
        facility must manufacture, process, or otherwise use a listed
        toxic chemical in amounts that meet or exceed threshold planning
        quantity. A Toxic Chemical Release Form (Form R or Form A) must
        be filed for each chemical present above the threshold level.
        The threshold amount for manufacturing, importing, or processing
        any listed chemical is 25,000 pounds per year. The threshold for
        other use (which includes cleaning) is 10,000 pounds per year.

    2.  The EPB will report for all contractors and NASA operations at
        KSC, therefore, each contractor and NASA operator must report
        amounts of covered chemicals that exceed 10 percent of the
        reporting threshold.

    3.  The forms are submitted to the SERC and to the EPA in
        Washington, DC, by July 1 for the previous calendar year.

SECTION 21: [NATURAL RESOURCES]{.underline}

\* 21.1 Threatened And Endangered Species

a.  Regulatory Relationships

> Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires all federal agencies
> to consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on all actions that
> may affect a threatened or endangered (T&E) species or its habitat.
> The rules and requirements for these consultations are delineated in
> 50 CFR Part 402, which includes the form (e.g., formal, early,
> informal), parties involved and timing. Under the provisions of the
> Endangered Species Act, it is the duty of NASA and all federal
> agencies to protect and enhance these species. Therefore, prior to
> taking any actions on KSC, we must consider the impacts to these
> resources. This includes impacts to individuals of a species as well
> as populations.

b.  Documentation

    1.  KSC is home to more T&E species than any other wildlife refuge
        in the continental United States. Therefore, any project or
        action has the potential to impact one or more of these species.

    2.  When the response to the KSC Environmental Checklist
        ([KDP-P-1727](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1727&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)),
        Record of Environmental Consideration (REC), indicates that a
        project may adversely impact a T&E species, a formal
        consultation with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife service must be
        conducted as described in
        [KDP-P-1741](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1741&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf).

    3.  Reasonable and prudent measures often involve the requirement to
        "compensate" for the loss of habitat. For example, taking of
        scrub habitat for construction will usually require new scrub
        habitat be restored elsewhere on KSC. The EPB is responsible for
        the overall management and coordination of compensation
        activities with input from other KSC organizations, as
        appropriate.

c.  Controls

    1.  Whenever an action may affect any fish, wildlife or plant, it is
        prudent to determine if that fish, wildlife or plant is a
        protected species. This will ordinarily be addressed as part of
        the Environmental Checklist Review
        ([KDP-P-1727](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1727&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)).
        However, in some cases, this issue is raised after
        implementation of a project has begun. For example, many roof
        repairs have the potential to impact nesting Least Terns, and
        this is only discovered after the job has started. In these
        cases, the project lead should halt operations and contact the
        EPB for further direction. All species should be treated as
        protected unless otherwise directed by the EPB.

    2.  In the case of nuisance species such as alligators, the U.S.
        Fish and Wildlife Service should be contacted to remove them.

    3.  Finally, a number of species are listed as protected or as
        species of special concern by State and local agencies. These
        species must also be protected, even though the review and
        consultation requirements under the Endangered Species Act do
        not apply. A good example of this case is the Gopher Tortoise.
        This species is typically protected via relocation from a
        construction site to elsewhere on KSC. Relocation may only be
        performed by personnel who are permitted by the State. Any
        questions regarding the level of protection, if any, required
        for any species on KSC should be directed to the EPB.

1.  Coastal Zone Consistency Determination

    a.  Regulatory Relationships

> By law, all states must develop and implement Coastal Zone Management
> Pro­grams. The Coastal Zone Management Act also requires all federally
> conducted or supported activities are consistent with the State
> Program in which they are undertaken.

b.  Documentation

    1.  All federal agencies performing or approving work in the coastal
        zone of any state must determine if their activities directly
        affect the coastal zone of that state. If they do, they must
        provide the state with the determination at the earliest
        possible time, but at least 90 days prior to the final approval
        of implementation of the activity, to allow the state time to
        concur or non-concur.

    2.  The Florida Coastal Zone Management Plan describes the entire
        State of Florida to be within the coastal zone. However, it also
        lists several facilities, which are considered to be outside the
        coastal zone. The KSC is so listed. This does not mean, however,
        KSC projects are exempt from the regulatory requirement of
        determining consistency with the Florida Coastal Zone Management
        Program. Each project and/or activity must be reviewed to
        determine if the action will affect areas outside KSC.
        Appropriate documentation would be sent to the State for their
        concurrence by the EPB. If the project will affect the coastal
        zone and is consistent with the Florida Coastal Zone Management
        Plan, a consistency determination must be prepared and submitted
        to the State. The determinations are typically included in the
        Environmental Assessment for the proposed project
        ([KDP-P-1726](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1726&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)).

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
2.  Wetlands And Floodplains

    a.  Regulatory Relationships

> EO 11988, "Floodplain Management," and EO 11990, "Protection of
> Wetlands," direct federal facilities to avoid impact to floodplains
> and wetlands, whenever practicable, and to develop procedures for
> protection of floodplains and wetlands.

b.  Documentation

> An analysis of all alternatives and early public notice of proposed
> impacts are required prior to approval of projects with floodplain or
> wetland impacts. Mitigation will usually be required for all wetland
> impacts and these costs must be estimated and included in the project
> design costs. Biological analysis must be performed prior to
> destruction of wetlands for use as criteria for mitigation efforts.
> This is usually performed as part of the environmental permitting
> process.

c.  Controls

> Actions in floodplains and wetlands must be avoided unless there is
> "no practicable alternative." OR's will ensure their organizations
> approve no project in a wetland or floodplain without proper
> documentation.

3.  NASA Use of Areas Managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior

    a.  Of the 140,000 acres of land and water, which comprise KSC, only
        a small portion has been developed by NASA (approximately 7,000
        acres). The remainder is managed for NASA, by agreement, by the
        U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) as the Merritt Island
        National Wildlife Refuge (MINWR) and by the National Park
        Service (NPS) as a portion of the Canaveral National Seashore.
        The NASA operational areas include the Industrial Area, Complex
        39, the Shuttle Landing Facility, the KSC Visitor Complex, KSC
        roads and various other smaller areas. The KSC areas not
        developed for operational facilities are required as buffer
        zones, because of the hazards associated with the launching and
        landing of space vehicles.

    b.  Whenever a project or action is proposed for an area within the
        MINWR outside an operational area, a Special Use Permit from the
        U.S. FWS is required. These permits are usually valid for one
        year. If the project will last longer or is permanent, the area
        should be removed from the Refuge. The procedure is implemented
        by the Spaceport Services Directorate.

SECTION 22: [CULTURAL RESOURCES]{.underline}

1.  Regulatory Relationships

> In 1966, Congress passed the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA)
> to ensure places of historic value were preserved and enhanced.
> Section 106 of the Act requires federal agencies consult with the
> National Advisory Council on Historic Preservation on actions
> adversely affecting listed properties. Under 36 CFR, Part 800, the
> consultation with the Council is conducted primarily through the State
> Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). This is usually conducted using
> the State Clearinghouse coordination system established under EO
> 12372, but may be performed directly with the SHPO.

2.  Documentation

> KSC is mandated by the NHPA of 1966 to consider the effects on
> historic and archaeological properties of any action undertaken by
> NASA, its contractors or tenants on KSC land. There are two categories
> of properties of concern: those listed on the National Register of
> Historic Places and those eligible for listing. A listing of listed
> and eligible properties may be found on the EPB Home Page. Whenever a
> project or action will or may adversely affect one of these
> properties, KSC must consult with the State Historic Preservation
> Officer (SHPO) and the National Advisory Council on Historic
> Preservation. This process is the responsibility of EPB as documented
> in
> [KDP-P-1733](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1733&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf).
> Determination of the need for consultation is typically done through
> the use of the KSC Environmental Checklist process.

3.  Controls

    a.  No action should be taken on any listed historic property
        without concurrence from the EPB and the SHPO, if it is
        determined by the EPB that the property will be adversely
        affected. All actions involving listed historic properties
        should be coordinated with EPB through the use of the KSC
        Environmental Checklist process
        [KDP-P-1727](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1727&rend=pdf&rev=C&dt=pdf).

    b.  Archaeological sites are found in many places on KSC. Therefore,
        prior to any digging or excavation, the EPB should be consulted
        using the KSC Environmental Checklist to determine if there is a
        potential to affect a known or unknown site. If excavation
        reveals any artifacts that might be considered historical in
        nature, work must cease and the EPB contacted. Refer to
        [KDP-P-1733](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-1733&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)
        for the process to modify a Historic and Archaeological Site.

    c.  Should a requestor propose to lease a piece of equipment or
        facility that is a listed historic property, the EPB must
        determine if the activity for which the property will be used
        will have an adverse affect on the property. The request for
        this evaluation will typically come from the Real Property
        Office. The process is documented in
        [KDP-P-2569](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KDP-P-2569&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf).

SECTION 23: [MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS]{.underline}

\* 23.1 NASA Environmental Tracking System (NETS)

a.  The NETS is an information management tool (central database) for
    assisting NASA and contractor personnel in the collection,
    maintenance, and reporting of environmental data related to KSC
    operations.

b.  The NETS environmental database is maintained for the Agency at
    Glenn Research Center. KSC has access to the system from personal
    computers located in EPB and various operational areas. Multiple
    users at KSC will be responsible for data input. EPA will
    consolidate the information and submit it to NASA Headquarters. Data
    to be input will be determined as modules are developed and
    implemented.

\* 23.2 Training

> It will be the responsibility of each OR to identify individuals
> requiring training in NETS to the EPB NETS Data Administrator. Online
> training will be available and EPB representatives will be available
> for guidance during the training period.

\* 23.3 Other Systems

c.  The EPB will maintain data tracking systems necessary to schedule
    and track environmental actions not covered in NETS, or in the
    interim period between creation of the data and the point in time
    when the specific NETS module covering that data comes online. Each
    primary organization will maintain an independent data tracking
    systems necessary to adequately and fully coordinate its
    environmental actions, and periodically provide required information
    to the EPB. Likewise, the EPB will provide information updates to
    the OR, when required. The type of databases the EPB will maintain
    are primarily data required by outside regulatory agencies and
    additionally, information required to ensure the proper control of
    environmental projects and actions at KSC.

d.  Some examples of the databases maintained by or for the EPB are:

    1.  Air Source Inventory

    2.  Checklist

    3.  Energy Utilization and Consumption Report

    4.  Hazardous Waste 90-Day and Satellite Site Locations and
        Inspections

    5.  Landfill Inspections

    6.  Operational and Groundwater Monitoring Reports Tracking

    7.  Permit Tracking

    8.  Pesticide Inspections

    9.  Pollution Incidents

    10. Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) Inspections

    11. Storage Tank Inventory and Inspections

SECTION 24: [Recycling, Pollution Prevention and Affirmative
Procurement]{.underline}

\* 24.1 Recycling

a.  All KSC organizations are responsible for contributing to Agency and
    Center goals for recycling. These goals will be maintained on the
    EPB and Principal Center for Recycling and Affirmative Procurement
    web pages. A 35 percent diversion of waste to landfills by 2010 is
    the current Agency goal. EPB will be responsible for providing
    guidance and direction to KSC organizations in the requirements
    associated with this compliance.

b.  Programs. Recycling Programs are implemented by the Spaceport
    Services Directorate. Spaceport Services administers Recycling
    Programs for aluminum cans, paper, cardboard and others as they are
    developed. Refer to
    [KHB_8800.7](http://tdnasa.ksc.nasa.gov:1383/FetchElem/WeiNasa.pdf?ename=KHB_8800.7&rend=pdf&rev=_LastRev&dt=pdf)
    (as revised) for program description. Logistics Operations
    administers recycling of all other recycled commodities. Sales of
    recyclable commodities are conducted by the Property Disposal
    Officer in Logistics Operations.

c.  Funds. Funds are received from the sale of excess commodities
    designated as recyclable. The funds will be reconciled after sales
    and EPB will manage the recycling funds for the Center. Section 608
    of Public Law Number 103-329 allows federal agencies to retain the
    funds generated by the recovered through Recycling or Waste
    Prevention Programs. These funds can be expended for the following
    purposes: Acquisition, Waste Reduction and Prevention, and Recycling
    Programs as described in EO 12873. Other Federal Agency
    Environmental Management Programs, including but not limited to,
    development and implementation of Hazardous Waste Management and
    Pollution Prevention Programs. Other employee programs as authorized
    by law or as deemed appropriate by the head of the federal agency.

\* 24.2 Affirmative Procurement

d.  All KSC organizations are responsible for compliance with EO 13101.
    In addition, KSC organizations should comply with NPG 8830.1,
    "Affirmative Procurement Plan for Environmentally Preferable
    Products." EPB will maintain current versions of these documents.

e.  Logistics Operations administers KSC's Affirmative Procurement
    Program, including facilitating awareness across the Center,
    assessing performance, and compiling Centerwide information for
    annual reporting requirements.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
1.  Pollution Prevention

    a.  EPB is responsible for chairing the Pollution Prevention Working
        Group. This is a group comprised of OR's and other interested
        parties who meet on a regular basis to discuss pollution
        prevention, recycling, and affirmative procurement issues and
        develop strategies and policies to address them.

    b.  EPB will revise the Center-wide Pollution Prevention Plan on a
        routine basis with input from P2WG members.

    c.  Pollution prevention projects will be solicited and compiled and
        status updated regularly. Projects will be presented annually at
        a session of the Quarterly Safety, Occupational Health and
        Environmental Leadership Briefing.

Model clauses to be included in contracts are found on the NASA KSC
Procurement Office home page (<http://www.ksc.nasa.gov/procurement>).
These clauses include environmental clauses, which should be used as
applicable to the project.
