NOTICE TO CONTRACTOR - Federal Rail Safety Regulations (49 C.F.R. Part 219) Concerning Alcohol and Drug Testing

On October 16, 2008, the United States Congress enacted the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (RSIA). RSIA directs the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to promulgate new safety regulations related to railroad safety. The purpose of this NTC is to notify you of certain requirements recently promulgated by the FRA that may be applicable to work you are currently performing, or may in the future perform, for the Connecticut Department of Transportation (Department).

On June 10, 2016, the FRA published a final rule expanding the scope of its drug and alcohol testing regulations (FRA Regulations) to provide that “[e]ach railroad must ensure that a regulated employee is subject to being selected for random testing... whenever the employee performs regulated service on the railroad’s behalf.” 49 C.F.R. § 219.601. A “regulated employee” includes a contractor to a railroad or any individual who is performing activities for a railroad and includes those contractors, consultants or individuals who are deemed “maintenance-of-way” employees under 49 C.F.R. Part 219 (See 49 C.F.R. §219.5). The term maintenance-of-way (MOW) employee, as used in 49 C.F.R. Part 219, is defined in 49 C.F.R. § 214.7 as “any employee…of a contractor to a railroad, whose duties include inspection, construction, maintenance or repair of railroad track, bridges, roadway, signal and communications systems, electric traction systems, roadway facilities or roadway maintenance machinery on or near track or with the potential of fouling a track, and flagmen and watchmen/lookouts.” (collectively, MOW Activities).

The final rule, which is effective June 12, 2017, requires contractors and consultants employing MOW employees to submit a Part 219 Compliance Plan to FRA prior to the effective date. Please consult the following link to the model drug and alcohol plan prepared by the FRA for guidance.

h t t p s : / / w w w . f r a . d o t . g o v / e L i b / d e t a i l s / L 0 2 8 1 4 The final rule mandates, among other things, the establishment of a random testing pool to ensure a testing rate of 50% of MOW employees for drugs and 25% of MOW employees for alcohol on an annual basis. For more information related to the requirements, please refer to:

http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?rgn=div5&node=49:4.1.1.1.14

Every contractor or consultant that is performing MOW Activities must comply with its obligations under 49 C.F.R. Part 219 to ensure that all MOW employees are being randomly tested for drugs and alcohol. Failure of a contractor or consultant to timely comply with the FRA Regulations may subject that firm to civil penalties. In addition, MetroNorth Railroad (MNR) has stated that contractors or consultants who do not comply with the FRA regulations will not be able to work on MNR property.

The Department strongly urges all contractors and consultants to consult with their attorneys and/or to conduct their own independent due diligence regarding the requirements imposed by the new FRA Regulations to determine what steps are necessary to assure compliance. The information provided herein is advisory in nature and is offered without warranty of any kind. The Department does not accept any responsibility or liability for the accuracy, content, completeness, legality, or reliability of the information contained herein. Any questions regarding the FRA Regulations concerning drug and alcohol testing should be directed to: Mr. Gerald Powers, Drug and Alcohol Program Manager, Office of Safety Enforcement, Federal Railroad Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Mail Stop 25, Washington, DC 20590 or via telephone (202) 493-6313.

GENERAL

NOTICE TO CONTRACTOR - ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS Environmental site investigations have been conducted that evaluated soil quality from various locations and depths within the Project Limits. The analytical results of these investigations indicate concentrations of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), total extractable petroleum hydrocarbons (ETPH), and leachable lead in the soil that exceed Connecticut’s Remediation Standard Regulations (RSRs) applicable to the Pollutant Mobility Criteria (GA) and/or Residential Direct Exposure Criteria (RES DEC). Based on these findings, three Areas of Environmental Concern (AOECs) for soil have been designated on the northern portion of the Project Site. An elevated concentrations of ETPH was detected in AOEC-1, and elevated concentrations of leachable lead were detected in AOEC-2 and AOEC-3. The Project Plans include the construction of a stormwater recharge bed that will underlie most of the paved surface on the northern portion of the Project (parking lot will be paved with porous hot mixed asphalt), with an infiltration gallery to be located in the western-most portion of that area. Due to the proposed installation of the recharge and infiltration beds, soils removed from the AOECs shall not be reused within the Project Limits. Soils excavated from the AOECs shall be managed in accordance to Item No. 0101117A, “Controlled Material Handling” and will require disposal at an approved treatment/disposal facility in accordance with Item 0202315A, “Disposal of Controlled Materials.” Concentrations of SVOCs, ETPH, pesticides, and total and leachable metals below the applicable Connecticut RSR criteria were detected in soil throughout the Project Limits. Therefore the remaining areas of the Project (both the northern and southern portions of the site) have been identified as “Low Level” Areas of Environmental Concern (LLAOECs). The presence of the compounds at these concentrations will not require material handling measures beyond those required for normal construction operations. However, the presence of these compounds will require the final disposition of soils excavated from these areas to be restricted as described herein. Materials excavated from within the LLAOECs that cannot be reused within the Project Limits shall be managed in accordance to Item No. 0101117A, Controlled Material Handling and will require disposal at an approved treatment/disposal facility in accordance with Item 0202315A, “Disposal of Controlled Materials.” Controlled Material will be transported to the temporary waste stockpile area (WSA) located within the Project Limits. Construction of the WSA shall be in accordance with Item 0101128A, “Securing, Construction, and Dismantling of a Waste Stockpile” and as indicated on Drawing No. ENV-002. The WSA shall consist of a minimum of two storage bins. Due to the limited space available within the Project Limits for soil management, the location and dimensions of the bins will be at the Contractor’s discretion, subject to the Engineer’s approval. Note that the WSA will need to be relocated at least once during the Project to accommodate the sequencing of the Project activities.

GENERAL

All suitable material excavated within the LLAOECs shall be utilized as fill/backfill within the Project Limits, in accordance with the following conditions:

1. Such soil is deemed to be structurally suitable for use as fill by the Engineer;

2. Such soil is not placed below the water table;

3. The CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CTDEEP) groundwater classification of the area where the soil is to be reused as fill does not preclude said reuse; and

4. Such soil is not placed in an area subject to erosion.

Soils within the LLAOECs are to be reused onsite before importing soil and/or fill such that soils requiring off-site disposal are minimized. The CTDEEP groundwater classification beneath the Project is GA-impaired. One groundwater grab sample was collected during the environmental investigation. While the analytical results from this sample indicated no exceedances of the RSRs, VOCs and arsenic were detected at concentrations that exceed the effluent limits for one or more of the CTDEEP General Discharge Permits. However, it is not anticipated that groundwater will be encountered during construction, as the depth to water was observed at approximately 17 feet below surface grade. Should it be determined that it is necessary, any water resulting from dewatering activities will have to be treated to comply with that permit and appropriate provision will be added to the Contract.

The Contractor is hereby notified that they will be required to implement appropriate health and safety measures for all construction activities to be performed within the Project Limits. These measures shall include, but are not limited to, air monitoring, engineering controls, personal protective equipment and decontamination, equipment decontamination and personnel training. THE PROVISION OF WORKER HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS WHICH ADDRESS POTENTIAL AND/OR ACTUAL RISK OF EXPOSURE TO SITE SPECIFIC HAZARDS IS SOLELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR. The Sections which shall be reviewed by the Contractor include, but are not limited to, the following:

Item No. 0101000A – Environmental Health and Safety

Item No. 0101117A – Controlled Materials Handling

Item No. 0101128A – Securing, Construction, and Dismantling of a Waste Stockpile and Treatment Area

Item No. 0202315A – Disposal of Controlled Materials

GENERAL

The Contractor is alerted to the fact that a Department environmental consultant will be on site for excavation activities within the AOECs, to collect soil and groundwater samples (if necessary), and to observe site conditions for the State. The WSA is to be used exclusively for temporary stockpiling of excavated materials from within the Project AOECs for determination of disposal classification. Information pertaining to the results of the environmental investigations discussed above can be found in the following documents. These documents shall be available for review on the Project portal in ProjectWise. Task 210 – Surficial Site Investigation Report, Guilford and Clinton Railroad Stations,
