Tooele Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (TOCDF) Hazardous Waste Management Permit
TOCDF Facility
The Tooele Chemical Agent
Disposal Facility (TOCDF) is
located at the Deseret Chemical
Depot (DCD) approximately 15
miles south of Tooele, Utah The
TOCDF IS a permitted facility used
by the US Army to destroy the
military chemical blister and nerve
agents stored at the DCD The
TOCDF has four incinerators for the
treatment of hazardous waste, three
tank systems for the storage and
treatment of hazardous waste,
several miscellaneous treatment
units for the treatment of hazardous
waste, and is subject to applicable
generator requirements and a
Hazardous Waste Storage and
Treatment Permit
Hazardous Waste Permit
The TOCDF was issued a Part B
Permit in June of 1989 This permit
was re-issued in May of 2004 The
Utah Division of Solid and
Hazardous Waste (DSHW)
conducts permitting oversite
activities at the TOCDF under the
Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) The RCRA
is a federal law written to protect
human health and the environment,
reduce waste, conserve energy, and
to reduce or eliminate the generation
of hazardous waste The RCRA is
codified under the Code of Federal
Regulations, title 40, parts 260
through 299 The DSHW is
authorized by the Environmental
Protection Agency to enforce the
RCRA in the state The State of
Utah has codified its own rules
under the Utah Administrative
Code, Sections R315-1 to R315-9,
R315-12toR315-14,R315-16,
R315-50, R315-101, and R315-102
Under State and Federal rules
facilities that store hazardous waste
for more than 90 days must submit
an application for a permit to store
the waste (See R315-5-3 34) The
TOCDF has several permitted
storage areas in its current Part B
Permit
Class 3 Permit Modification
In accordance with the Hazardous
Waste Management Rules for the
State of Utah (R315-3-4 3), the
TOCDF has submitted a Class 3
Permit Modification Request to add
an Explosives Destruction
Technology (EDT) to its Part B
Permit The Class 3 Permit
Modification proposes to permit an
EDT known as the Detonation of
Ammunition in a Vacuum
Integrated Chamber or
DAVINCH™ as a subpart X
treatment unit The TOCDF
proposes to use this unit to detonate
and treat 155mm projectiles and 4 2
inch mortars filled with mustard
chemical agent An EDT is being
used to treat these munitions
because they cannot be managed
using the equipment and processes
at the TOCDF due to corrosion and
degradation of the munition bodies
In addition to the nearly 340
munitions to be treated, the TOCDF
proposes to also treat 47 mustard
agent sample containers These
samples were collected from
mustard agent munitions stored at
the DCD Due to the configuration
in which these samples are stored
the EDT was determined to be the
safest method to treat this waste
stream The unit will be located in
Area 10 at the DCD and will be a
self contamed unit consisting of a
detonation chamber and pollution
abatement system Area 10 is
adjacent to the TOCDF facility
Draft Modification Approval
In accordance with (R315-4-1 6),
the DSHW has drafted a
modification approval The draft
approval makes changes to Module
Vm of the TOCDF Part B Permit
and mcludes a destruction plan, an
acronyms and abbreviations list, a
monitoring plan, an inspection plan,
operational mode diagrams, a
closure plan, an emergency response
plan, and a training plan

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The United States (US) Army Chemical Matenals Agency (CMA) is responsible for destroying
U S chemical warfare matenel The Project Manager - Chemical Stockpile Elimination (PM-
CSE), established in 2006 by merging the Chemical Stockpile Disposal Project (CSDP) and the
Altemative Technologies and Approaches Project (ATAP), manages the safe treatment and
disposal of chemical agents and weapons stored at protected U S Army sites in Alabama,
Arkansas, Oregon, and Utah
EG&G DMI, Inc , (EG&G) is contracted by the U S Army to operate the Tooele Chemical
Agent Disposal Facility (TOCDF) located on the U S Army Deseret Chemical Depot (DCD) in
Stockton, Utah EG&G has a requirement for a technology to process 333 reject munitions that
have a high probability of exhibiting conditions that would not allow them to be processed using
baseline practices Due to the apparent condition of the bursters and burster wells - and more
importantly, the high risks associated with destroying the problematic munitions with baseline
technology - new safer processes have been evaluated The TOCDF researched other
technologies used to destroy chemical weapons and determined that Explosive Destruction
Technology (EDT) is the prefened alternative Therefore, the DAVINCH^"'^ Detonation In a
Vacuum-Integrated Chamber (DAVINCH^'^) technology will be used to destroy the target
munitions at TOCDF
This Destruction Plan describes the process and procedures for destroying and treating over-
packed/leaking 4 2-inch Mortars, 155-mm Projectiles, and 47 samples containing chemical agent
(CA)
This process will run in parallel to TOCDF's current baseline operations EG&G has contracted
for services to include a detonation chamber, exhaust gas filtration system, environmental
enclosure with an engineered cascade ventilation system, and all necessary subsystems and
operators as a complete package that will be delivered to, installed, systemized, staffed, operated,
closed, and removed from the DCD
The agent fills to be treated consist of mustard (H), distilled sulfur mustard (HD), and thickened
mustard (HT)
This Destruction Plan is based on procedures used at two international sites Kanda Harbor,
Japan, and Poelkapelle, Belgium, where the DAVINCH™ has successfully and safely destroyed
over 5,400 chemical munitions The plan provides a description of the operations and sampling
strategy for this operation The procedures descnbed herein will ensure that the operation is
conducted in a safe, secure, and environmentally-sound manner
EG&G is the lead for permitting with the State of Utah Department of Environmental Quality,
Divisions of Solid and Hazardous Waste (DSHW) and Air Quality (DAQ), which will provide
environmental regulatory oversight of the TOCDF EDT operations These operations will be
permitted under a modification to the RCRA and CAA Title V Permits issued to the TOCDF by
the DEQ
10 INTRODUCTION
The United States (US) Army Chemical Matenals Agency (CMA) is responsible for destroying
U S chemical warfare matenel The Project Manager - Chemical Stockpile Elimination (PM-
CSE) manages the safe treatment and disposal of chemical agents and weapons stored at
protected U S Army sites in Alabama, Arkansas, Oregon, and Utah
EG&G DMI, Inc , (EG&G) is contracted by the U S Army to operate the Tooele Chemical
Agent Disposal Facility (TOCDF) located on the Deseret Chemical Depot (DCD) m Stockton,
Utah EG&G has a requirement for a technology to process 333 reject munitions that may be
difficult or unsafe to process using baseline practices The TOCDF researched other
technologies used to destroy chemical weapons and determined that Explosive Destruction
Technology (EDT) is the prefened alternative Therefore, the Detonation In a Vacuum-
Integrated Chamber (DAVrNCH"^"^) technology will be used to destroy the target munitions at
TOCDF
The DAVINCH''^'^ will support TOCDF as the approved chemical munitions disposal site for
over-packed leaker/reject munitions and agent samples The DAVINCH^'^ is designed for a
maximum allowable explosive charge of approximately 133 pounds (lb) of net trinitrotoluene
explosive equivalent (TNTeq) The Chemical Warfare Munitions (CWM) are classified as
Hazard Division 1 2 in Department of Defense Standard 6055 9, therefore, associated Quantity-
Distance (Q-D) arcs are quantified as such Descriptions of adjacent facilities, work to be done,
and operations are included in this submittal
Additionally, CWM that are designated a waste destined for disposal are classified as hazardous
waste in the State of Utah, see the Utah Hazardous Waste Rules R315-2-11 (e)( 1) The
DAVINCH^'^ IS a type of EDT that treats the chemical agent and energetic components of CWM
through controlled detonation facilitated by donor and Linear Shape Charges (LSCs) within a
detonation chamber
The destruction of CWM is permitted and regulated by the TOCDF Part B Permit By these
regulations the DAVINCH™ is classified as a Subpart X Miscellaneous Treatment Unit
1 1 Purpose
This Destruction Plan describes procedures for destroying and treating overpacked/leaking 4 2-
inch Mortars, 155-mm Projectiles, and samples containing CA

1.2.1 Target Munitions
The DAVINCH^"^ system's design will accommodate TOCDF processing of the items shown in
Tables 1, 2 and 3.
1.2.2 Fill Materials
Documentation from DCD confirms that the stockpile munitions in question are filled with
mustard (H/HD/HT), as shown in Table 2. The over-packed items have been assessed using an
x-ray system that was conducted at Area 10 to determine the content levels, interstitial materials,
and configuration of the munitions targeted for destruction by EDT. X-rays will be available
on-site for regulatory review.

1 3 Approval Process
Plans for using EDT at TOCDF will be submitted to the State of Utah Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste (DSHW) for approval
before destruction begins In addition, TOCDF will coordinate with the DCD, Department of
Defense Explosives Safety Board (DDESB), the U S Army Technical Center for Explosives
Safety (USATCES), and CMA Concunence/approval by UDEQ, DCD, DDESB, and
USATCES will be obtained before implementing this Destruction Plan
1 4 Historical Precedent for EDT
The EDTs evolved from an increasing need to safely destroy recovered chemical warfare
material (RCWM), and they have safely destroyed RCWMs in Pme Bluff Arkansas, Waianae,
Hawaii, Porton Down, England (United Kingdom), Poelkapelle, Belgium, and Munster,
Germany Riot control gas and various mustard agents, with and without energetics, have been
safely destroyed m EDTs The EDTs have also proven effective for destruction of conventional
weapons
The EDT operations are currently conducted safely and in an environmentally-sound manner
The system uses explosives as the pnmary means of destroying the munition, overpacks, and
chemical fill through extreme temperatures, and pressures and shock waves As of October 30,
2009, the DAVfNCH™ EDT technology has destroyed over 5400 munitions worldwide
1 5 Site Description (including Site Preparation Requirements)
The TOCDF is a multi-incinerator hazardous waste treatment and storage facility located within
the federally-owned DCD, which covers about 7,900 hectares The DCD is located in Stockton,
Utah [approximately 56 kilometers (35 miles) southwest of Salt Lake City] The TOCDF was
designed and constructed for the treatment of the chemical agents and munitions stockpile
currently stored at the DCD Area 10 (i e , the Chemical Munitions Storage Area)
Area 10 is immediately adjacent and physically connected to the northern end of TOCDF Area
10 IS operated by DCD and has secure, surety-rated access control, perimeter monitonng,
appropriate fencing, and an around-the-clock guard force
The EDT will be located in the northern end of the Open Storage area, between Road C and
Road D The permanently occupied areas of Area 10 include, but are not limited to, the
administration and guard areas near the main gate on the south side There are temporary
activities ongoing in existing igloos near the EDT site

Figure 4. EDT Site Overview
As shown in Figure 3, the EDT site will occupy approximately 75,000 ft^ at the northern end of
the Open Storage area, adjacent to Building 1835 The site is a former storage area for ton
containers (TCs), it is cunently occupied with abandoned storage racks for the TCs, which
consist of short sections of railroad tracks and railroad ties This area will be graded after
removal of the TC racks The major sections of the site are discussed below
1 5 1 Existing Paved Area
At the northern end of the Open Storage Area there is an existing macadam road/parking area
This area provides a solid surface for parking and entry into the site, via an existmg gate along
Road "D"
1 5 2 Administrative Area
Immediately adjacent to the Existing Paved Area is the location for temporary trailers, which
will house storage trailers, an office area, and the laboratory This area will be graded,
compacted, and built up with gravel to sufficient depth to support the trailers, which will open to
the parking area, avoiding the need for concrete or paved walkways
1 5 3 EDT Site
The EDT and enclosure will occupy an area roughly 100 ft x 100 ft This section will be graded,
compacted, and built up above grade using layered gravel to ensure draining and provide a firm
footing for the mobile DAVINCH^M unit
1 5 4 Staging Area
Adjacent to the EDT site will be a 200 ft x 200 ft staging area, where utilities will be located
Generators, storage tanks for fuel and gases, and other temporary equipment will be located here
This area will be graded, compacted, and built up with gravel to a sufficient depth to support the
equipment Dunng installation, components that are being staged for assembly will also be
located in this section
1 5 5 Additional Gate
To provide a logical flow of materials through the site, and to facilitate delivery of munitions,
supplies, and other materials to the site, a new gate is proposed for installation m the existing
fence adjacent to Road D, approximately 300 ft from the existing gate This gate will provide
ingress to and egress from the site
1 5 6 Restricted Access
All fencing will be established in accordance with existing DCD access requirements An
additional intemal fence will be used to divide the Open Storage Area into a northern (EDT)
sector and a southern sector to prevent access to unauthonzed areas
1 6 Emergency Planning and Contingency Operations
1 6 1 Site Specific Safety Plan
A Site Specific Safety Plan (SSSP) contains information regarding safety planning for the
implementation of the EDT The SSSP contains information on support operations such as
medical, fire, and emergency response at TOCDF and Area 10 for EDT operations The SSSP
will be approved by DDESB
16 2 Prevention of Sudden Releases to the Environment
The destruction of chemical agent munitions using the DAVINCH''"'^ process is designed to
minimize the potential of fire and sudden and non-sudden unexpected releases of hazardous
waste to the environment
16 2 1 Minimized Handling
The DAVnSfCH™ will process approximately 350 leaking and over-packed 155-mm H
Projectiles, and 4 2-inch HD and HT Mortars In addition, the DAVINCH''"'^ will process
approximately 50 HD and HT samples The munitions and agent samples are processed in their
over-packs as the DAVINCH^M process does not require the items to be removed from the over-
packs prior to treatment
1 6 2 2 Containment
The DAVINCH'T'^ operations are conducted in an Environmental Enclosure (EE) that is
equipped with airlocks and appropriate high-density polyethylene (HDPE) interlocking flooring,
with a plastic floor liner under the HDPE panels, which interlock together to form a stable
platform The Environmental Enclosure is maintained under a negative pressure, and air
circulating through the enclosure is vented to activated carbon filters A damper system
maintains flow during operations (See Section 2 2 for a more detailed description of the EE)
1 6 2 3 Controlled Detonation
The DAVINCH™ destroys the chemical munition agent fill and energetic components by
controlled detonation, a mechanism whereby the steel munition components, agent fill,
energetics, and overpacking are completely destroyed by the shock wave from the donor charge,
intense heat, and extreme pressures generated microseconds after the initiation of the detonation
An explosive model ofeach detonation ensures the proper placement, size, and location of linear
shaped charges (LSCs), which cut the walls of the overpack and munition, and a staged series of
emulsion-type donor charges The charges are attached to each munition based the munition
type, type and number of overpacks (i e , one or two overpacks are used to contain the munition),
and on the position of the munition mside the overpack as determined by an x-ray assay The
donor charges are attached to the munitions in a preparation area within the Environmental
Enclosure Releases to the environment through an unplanned detonation of explosives are
minimized by
• Minimization of the number of munitions and donor charges present at the DAVINCH™
operational site The number of munitions provided to the DAVFNCH™ each day of
operations is limited to the amount that can be processed in one day The DAVINCH''^'^ is a
batch process system, and the schedule allows for a maximum of seven target treatment
detonations per day, not including cleansing shots The number of munitions processed in
each batch is dependent on the type of munition 155-mm H Projectiles are processed one or
two per batch depending on the number of overpacks, and 4 2-inch Mortars are processed
three per batch
10
Storage of munitions in a separate location The munitions to be treated by the DAVINCH^'*'
for the day are stored within the Environmental Enclosure The donor charges to be used for
the day are stored m the Day Explosive Storage Units, which are located near to the
Environmental Enclosure The number of donor charges, and LSCs -at the DAVINCH^^ site
will not exceed the amount necessary for a day's operations A separate Day Explosive
Storage Unit is used to store detonators
Inherent Stability of Donor Charges The donor and shape charges that are used are
compnsed of stable explosive formulations that require the use of a detonator The detonator
circuit IS enabled only after the prepared munition is placed in the Detonation Chamber
Chamber Design Sudden releases from the Detonation Chamber are prevented by the design
of the chamber The Detonation Chamber is comprised of an outer and inner chamber
The inner chamber has a slightly smaller diameter than the outer chamber, which creates
an interstitial space between the chambers The inner chamber is sacrificial and is
replaced after a designated number of shots The Destruction Plan for TOCDF does not
require replacement of the irmer chamber, since the total number of shots for the inner
chamber life is in the 2000 range, and the TOCDF plan requires only about a 300 shots
for the duration of the campaign The inner chamber is neither a pressure vessel nor an
impulsively-loaded vessel, it serves as the primary barrier against the heat, impulse, and
fragments associated with the contained detonation The interstitial space between the
inner and outer chamber is open to the product gas
The outer chamber is a multi-layered steel chamber designed to contain the high
temperatures and pressures generated by the controlled detonation The DAVFNCH^'^
chamber will be manufactured at a factory in Japan that is an authorized manufacturer of
ASME SEC VIII pressure vessels, this facility has the technology available to construct
the multiple-layered-steel outer chamber The system is designed in accordance with
ASME Code Case 2564 (January 2008) on impuIsively-loaded vessels, which is the first
design guidance of this kind worldwide The EDT subcontractor engineers participated
in the Task Group of the Code Case and designed the DAVINCH^^ chamber according
to the design guidance
Leak-Before Burst Failure Mode The design criteria for this chamber are based on
numerical modeling The multiple-layer design allows for the discontinuity between the
layers to provide an arresting mechanism for small cracks that might occur in the chamber
wall In addition, the system is designed to prevent catastrophic failure even for loads well in
excess of its rated design criteria for pressure and impulse loads The design ensures that the
failure mode of the vessel is "leak before burst," whereby the chamber will not
catastrophically fail If a failure occurs, any release of contamination from the DAVINCH^M
will be captured by the EE
Near Real Time Strain Monitoring Failure of the Outer Chamber is minimized by the
system unique to the DAVINCH™, which is refened to as DESTINY This near real time
system uses strain gages to measure strain in the Outer Chamber metal fatigue at locations
11
that are based on numencal modeling and that have shown fatigue in previous DAVINCH^*^
operations After each shot, an analysis is automatically run toi show the accumulated
stress/strain on the system, using the stram gage data Over 5,400 munitions have been
processed on similar systems with no structural failure, and those data are integrated into the
design of the DAVINCHTM System
• Hold-Test-Release Releases of agent fi-om the DAVINCH'''"'^ stack are also prevented by the
Hold-Test-Release concept of operations as allowed by the design of the system After each
shot, the off-gas is treated in a senes of treatment trains, which incorporates a Retention Tank
that is located downstream of the Cold Plasma Oxidizers The Retention Tank provides a
retention time of approximately 10 minutes, slowed by the baffles intemal to the tank The
gas residence time is longer than the cycle time of the agent monitor that is located upstream
of the mlet to the Retention Tank The pumps, blowers, and valves allowing off-gas to reach
the CA monitor are timed to synchronize the release of off-gas to the sampling point with the
sampling cycle of the MINICAMS^"^ to ensure that detonation gas is sampled If agent is
detected m the detonation gases, the Retention Tank outlet valve is closed, and the gases are
routed back through a dedicated activated carbon filter for additional treatment
• Carbon Filtration Releases of agent from the DAVINCH™ stack are further prevented by
passing treated detonation gases through a sulfiir-impregnated activated carbon filter before
they are released to the environment Releases from the DAVFNCH''''^ Environmental
Enclosure to the ambient air are prevented by the supplied fixed bed activated carbon filters
1 6 2 4 Prevention of Spills/Releases
Releases of liquid hazardous waste to surface and ground water are prevented by processing all
munitions and agent samples received at the DAVINCH^"^ operation site in the over-packs in
which they arrive this is because of the DAVINCHTM high TNTeq rating of the DAVINCH^M
system Detonation Chamber Releases of liquid hazardous wastes are further controlled by the
use of an Environmental Enclosure that prevents the mn-on and mn-off of precipitation The
DAVINCHTM Detonation Chamber, Cold Plasma Oxidizers, and Retention Tank are located
inside the Environmental Enclosure The preparation of the munitions to be treated in the
DAVINCHTM occurs within the Environmental Enclosure The DAVINCHTM Pollution
Abatement System (PAS), which consists of a cyclone, 10- and 2-micron filter screens, wet
scmbber, and fixed-bed carbon filter are housed in two shipping containers Secondary
containment is provided for the wet scmbber Release of hazardous waste dunng the transfer of
waste residues from the DAVINCH^M Detonation Chamber, and particulate and wet scrubbers is
prevented by conducting those activities mside the Environmental Enclosure and shipping
container, which house some of the DAVFNCH™ PAS components

2 0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
21 Overview
The DAVINCHTM system is designed to meet the requirements of the EDT project at TOCDF,
including but not limited to mobility, stand-alone capability, safety, environmental protection
measures, EE containment while chemical agent is processed, process monitonng analysis of
chemical composition, appropriate connection with chemical agent monitoring (i e , process
mterlocks) and analysis, UPS backup, and appropriate redundancy to complete the ongoing
destmction backup operations
2 1 I Concept of Operations
The explosive detonation system concept of operations is to destroy overpacked chemical
munitions usmg specialized explosive donor charges m a vacuum-assisted, multiple-layered,
armored-steel chamber capable of containing the explosion The extreme pressures,
temperatures, and shock waves generated by the donor charge destroys the overpack, the
munition body, the explosives/burster charges contained in the munitions, and the chemical agent
fill in microseconds Operation will be controlled from a remote Control Room that contains all
human-machine interface, process monitoring, closed-circuit television (CCTV), and
communication equipment The DAVINCHTM model DV60 has the capacity to destroy 133 lb
(60 kg) of TNTeq of explosive and is capable of destroying all the specified munitions listed in
the specification without unpacking munitions or requiring other pre-treatment This can be
accomplished in a 10 to 12-hour day/four-day week operation mode
The system's major subsystems include the
DAVINCHTM Explosive Detonation Chamber,
Off-Gas Treatment System,
Control System,
Utility System, and
Ancillary Equipment
See Design Features, Section 2 6, for more details on these subsystems
2 1 2 Svstem Design Requirements
The DAVINCHTM system is designed to meet the requirements of the EDT project at TOCDF
The DAVINCHTM DV60 has the capacity to destroy 133 lb (60 kg) TNTeq of explosive and can
destroy all the specified munitions listed in Table 2 without unpacking or requiring other pre-
treatment at a rate of seven detonations per day
The system is designed to be stand-alone All utilities will be provided on-site, including electric
power from two 600 kW diesei generators, storage for water, which will be refilled from the y^.-
inch line and spigot located in Area 10, and storage for gases and fuel, including propane and
diesei
17
The rack-mounted off-gas system will be designed to simplify installation of the entire system, to
be completed in one month, at the TOCDF site The DV60 main chamber will be tested under a
125 % load in Japan and brought to the U S for DDESB review and approval The DV60 has a
design life of 5,000 to 8,000 shots for the outer chamber, approximately 300 shots are required to
fiilfill the scope of this project This DAVINCHTM will have the capability of destroying the
over-packed, mustard-filled 155-mm Projectiles and 4 2-inch Mortars with out removing from
their over-packs The over-packed munition is assembled with shaped and donor charges and
placed (htmg) in the chamber, where the detonation is activated in a partial vacuum The
emulsion explosive placed around the munition ensures an effective implosion process, thereby
reducing the speed and the size of detonation fragments, and ensuring a longer life of the inner
chamber In the case of over-packed munitions, a shaped charge is added to the process to cut
the overpack and detonate the burster
2.2 Environmental Enclosure (EE) Description
2 2 1 DAVINCHTM Containment
The "primary" containment for the munitions is the existing overpacks The "secondary" or
DAVINCHTM containment is the chamber itself The detonation chamber lid has a space to
capture escaping gas The skid-mounted off-gas units are contained in 40-ft modular enclosures,
which are ducted to the EE enclosure (descnbed in paragraph 2 2 2) The DAVINCH™ will be
located inside an EE comprised of a ceiling, sides, and flooring that will provide weather
protection and interior environmental control for workers comfort and safety The floor of the
EE will be an HDPE interlocking floor, approximately 2 inches thick, underlain with
impermeable plastic sheeting The stmcture also provides secondary vapor containment dunng
EDT operations in the event an unexpected release of chemical agent occurs while loading the
items The EE will have a continuously-operating air filtration system that maintains a negative
pressure within the EE relative to the outside air, it will capture any chemical fill vapors resulting
from operations The air flow from m the EE containment is kept at negative pressure, -0 10 to -
0 5 in WC, through a cascade-type ventilation system, with carbon filtration to the outside
atmosphere The shelter meets the required wind load, the maximum criterion is 120 mph for a
three-second gust The EE will provide a seal with the ground to prevent outside water from
entering and ensure air-tightness
2 2 2 EE Operating Areas
The munition receipt and preparation area, detonation chamber unit, waste handling area, are
contamed m separate sections of the EE The off-gas treatment equipment is housed in shipping
contamers positioned outside of the EE The receiving area, and preparation room are air
conditioned, and the shelter has local heaters and coolers for the operators The exhaust air
blower system maintains the required ventilation air changes per hour, and air is exhausted
through a carbon filter There are separate airlocks for personnel and material/equipment The
floor coating, consisting of interlocking HDPE panels, will meet the requirement for dust control,
and provide a moisture barrier Design load will be met, note that the slope coupled with the
slippery membrane is designed to shed snow load Under normal conditions, the aluminum
frame has a 30-year design life, and the membrane has a two-year life Humidity will be
controlled by the ventilation system Lightning protection is incorporated into the design
However, CWM will not be stored in the EE

2 4 Design Features
2 4 1 Detonation Chamber
The system includes two relatively close-fitting vessels The DAVINCHTM detonation chamber
has distinctive features such as the double-walled steel chamber with a replaceable irmer vessel
that protects the outer chamber from explosion fragments, and the vacuum that is established
prior to detonation and sequential detonation to reduce the impulsive load, sound and vibration,
and fatigue damage The double-walled chamber design is based on a "leak-before-burst"
philosophy It IS cylindrical in shape, with hemisphencal end caps, the DV60 chamber interior
volume is approximately 180 ft^ The maximum allowable explosive charge is 60 kg of TNTeq,
20
or approximately 133 lb of explosives The chamber opening is closed with a lid that uses a
hydraulic clamping system and casketmg to ensure pressure retention The outer chamber is
fixed to the foundation via saddles and is fabncated with laminated, cylmdncal, carbon-steel
walls welded to monolithic carbon-steel top and bottom ellipsoidal heads The iimer chamber
consists of layered steel and is considered a maintenance item - it is replaceable The
replaceable inner liner is also constmcted of special steel, and it is built up m layers to minimize
the propagation of any cracks, which are arrested by the discontinuity between the layers
2 4 2 Clamping Svstem
The "auto-clamping" lid closure system was designed under recommendation by Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory The earlier DAVINCHTM design used two U-shaped
circumferential clamps, and closure was accomplished by manually bolting the clamps together
The new system is constmcted using eight independent clamps, configured to allow optimal
control of the access door These clamps are dnven by automatic hydraulic or oil pressure This
pressure is monitored to ensure that all clamps are functional and supply the required closure
pressure
2 4 3 Munitions Handling/Installation in Chamber
A scissor-type lift is used to lift the configured munition to a position in the chamber that will
allow personnel to hang the munition and explosive using nylon web straps (or other approved
hanging materials) along an interior track at the top of the inner liner The detonation chain is
set, and the automatic hydraulic clamping system activated remotely to ensure a complete seal
2 4 4 Chamber Door/Movable Platform
The hemispherical chamber door is mounted on an articulating mechanism that allows the door
to move away from the chamber to provide access to the inner main chamber The main
chamber is accessed by a movable robotic access ramp that does not touch the inner chamber
24 5 Off-Gas Fiher
An inline filter is used to remove particulates, with filtration specification of 2 micro-meter
efficiency > 99 97 % The filter has a backwash function
246 Off Gas Heater
A stainless-steel inline electric resistance heater is used to maintain process temperature
247 Cooler
An inline gas cooler, using a gas/air shell and tube configuration is used to modulate temperature
of the off-gas to maintain process temperature
24 8 Off Gas Svstem
The off-gas treatment system consists of a series of filtration banks and a "cold plasma" grid-arc
oxidizer, followed by carbon filtration The Retention Tank provides a retention time of up to 10
minutes, slowed by the baffles intemal to the tank, this allows sampling to occur pnor to release,
and redirection of the off-gas to the treatment process should any CA be detected
21
2 4 9 Vacuum Pumps
Two redundant, inline vacuum pumps are used to evacuate the chamber These are off-the-shelf
units with a capacity of 350 Nft"'/min, suction of 1 45 psi, and discharge of 0 2 psi The
detonation product gas is extracted by a vacuum pump through an off-gas filter and then is sent
to the off-gas freatment system A predetermined amount of oxygen is mixed with the off-gas at
the cold plasma oxidizer where the hydrogen and carbon monoxide are oxidized Any CA
remaining in the off-gas is destroyed by the cold plasma oxidizer
2 4 10 Cold Plasma Oxidizer
The cold plasma oxidizer unit is a unique piece of equipment It is also called a Grid-Arc Plasma
and has been developed for reforming some liquid fuels into synthetic gas or partial oxidation of
natural gas, and upgrading hydrogen sulfide/methyl-mercaptan It is also now used as an
oxidizer The advantages of the cold plasma are low power consumption, compact size, rapid
startup time, and there is no need for pretreatment or catalyst However, the vital advantage of
the cold plasma is the oxidation process During the oxidation process, the supplied oxygen is
converted to oxygen radicals by high energy of electrons, and an oxidation reaction with H2 and
CO is triggered, which makes the cold plasma oxidizer completely different from a conventional
secondary combustion fumace The detonation product gas is directly mixed with oxygen and
injected into the oxidizer as raw gas The ratio of oxygen and detonation product gas is
maintained so that excess oxygen remains after the reaction, to ensure complete oxidation The
reaction temperature is controlled by an appropriate ratio and flow rate of the detonation product
gas and oxygen The oxidizer is initially heated by introducing a mixture of LPG and air Once
the desired temperature is reached, the LPG flow is tumed off and the raw gas is introduced The
flow rate of oxygen and raw gas are adjusted to maintain the desired stoichiometnc ratio, while
the total flow is adjusted to maintain the oxidizer at the desired temperature The two units can
operate in a fail-safe mode, where one unit can continue to operate if there is a failure of the
other, albeit at a reduced flow rate This ensures that any detonation gas will be treated if either
unit fails to operate
2 4 11 Cooler
The off-gas is cooled after it passes through the cold plasma oxidizer using an inline gas cooler
with a gas/air shell and tube configuration that modulates the temperature of the offgas to
maintain process temperature
2 4 12 Scmbber
The off-gas is scrubbed using an inline gas scrubber with a sodium hydroxide wash down The
cooled gas is neutralized by the scrubber The condensate water generated in gas cooling is
circulated through the inside of the scrubber
24 13 NaOH Tank
This is a 50L steel tank that holds a 25% concentration NaOH solution used for the scmbber
2 4 14 Off Gas Blower
An inline blower is used to maintain flow into the off-gas retention tank Specification is 42000
Nft'^/hr at ambient pressure with a silencer
22
2 4 15 Retention Tank
A mild steel off-gas retention tank is used to slow the flow of the off-gas
2 4 16 Heater
A stainless steel inline electric resistance heater is used to maintain process temperature To
extend the life of activated charcoal, the gas is heated to about 113 °F (45 °C) before entering the
filter unit
2 4 17 Carbon Filters
A sulfur-impregnated carbon filter bank is used to filter the DAVINCH™ off-gas, with
monitoring provided downstream of the filter's exhaust The air filtration system for the EE
consists of prefilters, HEPA filters, and carbon filters along with a monitor, port fan, and
ductwork A senes of modular chemical air filtration systems will be used, and each system
houses two banks of carbon filters, two banks of HEPA filters, and one bank of prefilters Each
bank contains nine 18-inch first-time-use filters that have never been exposed to chemical agent
A smoke test will be conducted at the initial setup to certify the air filtration system and check
airflow velocity to ensure that the EE is able to maintain negative pressure mside the stmcture
relative to the outside air The size of the carbon filtration unit is adequate to adsorb any
chemical agent that could be released from a leaking munition or item
2 4 18 Exhaust Air Blower
An inline blower is used to maintain flow into the Environmental Enclosure HVAC fixed-bed
carbon filters The specification is 126000 Nft^/hr

3 3 Systemization
The systemization process will follow the approved Systemization Plan The Systemization Plan
will address the steps necessary to ensure that the system operates as designed, and that all
components are fully operational and assembled correctly at the site After the facility has been
assembled at the TOCDF and commissioning is complete, acceptance testmg will be performed
The records from assembly, pre-commissionmg, and commissioning will be reviewed for
completeness and accuracy When assembly, pre-commissioning, and commissioning activities
have been accepted, system acceptance testing will be performed to ensure all systems are
working properly Testing will be conducted using Simulation Equipment Test Hardware
(SETH) munitions, overpack containers, and sunogate chemicals
Acceptance tests will be performed to confirm the following properties
• Throughput, including handling (feeding), detonation, and off-gas treatment
• Feeding system operability, including required time and safety
• Waste handlmg operability, including required time and safety
• Agent monitonng operation and management
• Environmental emission control
• Fatigue damage evaluation system (DESTINY) operation
3 4 Operational Readiness Review
System Operation Readiness Review (ORR), and approval by the ORR Team and an ORR
Board, will be required prior to initiation of munitions operations at the EDT site An ORR
Board will be established by TOCDF and the operating contractor to implement the requirements
of TOCDF ORR requirements per EG-073 R03 C03, Operational Readiness Review Guide
3 5 Operations
A 2-month campaign plan will be established to conduct munition destruction operations The
campaign will be set up to destroy the categories of overpacked munitions previously identified
in Table 2 of this plan
In the case of a 4-5 day/10 to 12 hour working schedule, 7 shots per day are required to maintain
the schedule A plan for the destmction process for each day's operation, based on the individual
requirements of each munition type, will be established Each day's target munitions will be
delivered at the EDT entry point, the box tmck first entry clearance conducted using a spooled
MINICAMSTM line, and the munitions/overpack container will be moved by forklift into the
unpack area and then to the preparation area
Daily activity will also involve operators delivering donor charges to the day box from the Area
10 Storage Igloo Appropnate system checks will begin prior to each shift
27
3.5.1 Operational Steps
Figure 6 shows the following conceptual steps of controlled detonation:
• Installation of munitions with appropriate donor charge in the detonation chamber.
• Evacuation of the air in the chamber and supply of minimum oxygen.
• Activation of the controlled detonation explosion.
• Evacuating the detonation product gas, sampling of the gas, and transfening it to the off-gas
treatment system.
Figure 7 shows the DAVINCHTM detonation chamber and the off-gas treatment system. The
cold plasma oxidizer is mainly for oxidizing the explosive products of CO and Hi, and it is
expected to provide additional agent Destruction Efficiency (DE) for back up.

3.5.1.1 A quantity of over-packed munitions specific to the day's plan for detonation
operations is delivered to the site via the access road. The over-packs are received and
monitored for leakage of chemical agent.
3.5.1.2 The over-packed munitions (unloaded by a fork lift in the Unpack Area) are
transferred by a hand lifter to the preparation area for setting the donor charge. The over-packs
are moved on hand lifters by a hand crane for setting the donor charge.
3.5.2 Donor Charge
Each munition has a specific placement and quantity identified for detonation based on the
results of prior x-ray and analysis of the overpack/munition configuration. A quantity and
placement plan is relayed to the operators in the preparation area for the munitions to be
detonated. A shaped charge will be used in addition to the emulsion donor charge to cut the
overpack and detonate the burster. The x-ray analysis from the MARB database will be used to
identify the locations of the LSC charges, to ensure that the overpack and munition is
28
appropnately cut with the jet from the LSC The emulsion donor charges are set in a
circumferential configuration around the overpack or munition/sample container, and timed to
initiate in a sequence designed to allow the explosive detonation pressure wave to implode the
target evenly, ensunng complete destmction The donor charges are "sausage-packed" emulsion
explosive and are supplied in a pre-configured length and diameter by the explosive vendor
Donor charges will be delivered to the EDT site in shifts to address the daily plan for detonation
3 5 2 1 The donor charge and LSC are picked up from the storage magazine, and assembled
and transfened to the DoD- and ATF-rated modular Day Storage Box in the preparation
container They are moved from the day box to the preparation area as needed The same plan
will be used for the detonators, which are stored separately from the donor charges and LSCs
3 5 2 2 The assembled donor charge is set around the overpacks on the hand lifter by a
trained operator The overpack and donor charge are transferred from the preparation room to
the detonation chamber through airlock by the hand lifter The donor charges are manufactured
and delivered in approximately 2-inch diameter by 2-to-3-foot "sausages" of explosive These
are taped mto place m accordance with the plan descnbed above for each shot The configured
overpack, now surrounded by a donor charge, is placed (hung) on nylon webbed slings in the
chamber by the material handling equipment
3 5 2 3 In order to prevent improper operation and unintentional detonation, the detonation
circuit shall be checked before detonation operation An operator measures the electnc
resistance of detonation circuit after connecting the circuit to the switchbox, and then shorts the
outlet in the chamber After confirming the resistance is correct, the switch box, plug, and outlet
near the firing device in the chamber are shorted to prevent improper operation The operator
will connect the detonators then exit the chamber All the explosive operations shall be done
using the "buddy system" (two-man rule) Everyone on site will be accounted for prior to
detonation
3 5 3 Chamber Preparation for Detonation
3 5 3 1 The unit's lid is robotically closed using the hydraulic clamping system, which has
specialized gaskets to prevent leakage
3 5 3 2 The chamber is evacuated using a vacuum pump, and oxygen is introduced into the
chamber prior to detonation
3 5 4 Implosion with Donor Charge
The detonation process creates an extremely hot fireball and shockwave that destroys the
chemical agent and the metal munition bodies, over-packs, and other parts, which are reduced to
shards of scrap The emulsion explosive placed around the munition ensures an effective
implosion process, reducing the speed and size of detonation fragments, and ensures a longer life
of the inner chamber
3 5 5 Off-Gas Treatment and Air Flow Phases
29
The off-gas treatment process treats the detonation product off-gas on a batch-wise basis Figure
8 shows the pre-detonation, detonation, and post-detonation phases of the process Figure 9
shows the four basic treatment units, consistmg of the HVAC unit to draw a continuous flow of
air from the EE, Treatment Unit A, which consists of the pre-filter and vacuum pump. Treatment
Unit B, which consists of the Cold Plasma Oxidizer and its associated heat exchanger/cooler and
blower, Treatment Unit C, which consists of the retention tank, carbon filter bypass and CA
monitor, and Treatment Umt D, which consists of an inline charcoal filter and blower A utility
system allows gases to be introduced mto the chamber or system During operation, various
modes are used to ensure negative air flow when the chamber is open, and to balance the airflow
to ensure EE negative pressure A damper is used to control this balance of air flow Annex D

3 5 5 1 Dunng pre-detonation, the off-gas system extracts air from the chamber, exhausting that
air through the carbon filter bed The detonation chamber lid is open m this configuration The
exhaust air from the HVAC System (reference Figure 9, HVAC) is maintained at a constant flow
rate The air is fed through Unit D during this mode of operation Dunng this phase, munitions
are hung, detonators set, and processing activity can occur within the chamber The damper is
used in all phases to equalize air flow and maintam negative EE pressure with respect to the
extenor
3 5 5 2 The Air Vacuum phase (i e , evacuation of the chamber) is accomplished by activating
the vacuum pump, and extracting air from the sealed chamber through Units A and D When the
appropnate vacuum is established, the chamber is isolated
3 5 5 3 A stream of oxygen is fed to the evacuated chamber from the Utility area through the exit
of the chamber The oxygen is used to combine with the detonation product gas and to optimize
the detonation
3 5 5 4 During detonation, only the HVAC exhausting air from the EE is operational The
chamber and other components are isolated
3 5 5 5 After cool down, a preliminary test quantity of the detonation product gas is extracted by
the vacuum pump through Units A, B, and C If CA is detected at the monitonng point M, the
system re-routes the gas, stops the flow of gas to the DAVINCH exhaust stack and directs the
gas through the Retention Tank Carbon Filter F392 located in Unit C2 back through Unit B for
further treatment m the cold plasma oxidizer The chamber lid remains closed during this
sequence
3 5 5 6 After the preliminary CA check in 3 5 5 5, the system operates at full extraction,
processing all of the detonation gas through units A, B, and C, and through the final, exterior
carbon beds
3 5 5 7 The chamber lid is opened when all of the chamber off-gas is processed in Treatment
Phase 2 Air flow continues through units A, B, and C, and through the final, exterior carbon
beds
3 5 5 8 If decontamination of the chamber is required the chamber lid is closed, and
Electrostatically Charged Aerosol Decontamination (ECAD) solution is introduced into the
chamber from an outside port The chamber is isolated during that process During this mode,
the retention tank is purged through its associated carbon filter After the chamber is
decontaminated, the system is exhausted once again through Units A, B, and C An alternative
option for decontamination of the chamber is the use of a cleansing shot
3 5 5 9 The system reverts to the pre-detonation configuration where the exhaust gas is removed
as m the pre-detonation mode Fragments are removed by electromagnet and by hand, if large
enough
3 6 Throughput
33
Table 5 shows the expected throughput for each munition type, in a single or double overpack,
and samples This throughput expectation is based upon the operational experience of 5 years of
operations in Japan and one year of operation in Belgium Improvements on automated fragment
handling and a larger capacity of off-gas treatment are incorporated into this design Three 4 2-
inch HT Motor rounds in M13A2 single over-packs can be detonated in a single shot, and a 155-
mm H Projectile in M16A3/12X56 double over-packs can be detonated by one shot, using a total
amount of explosives of approximately 118 lb (53 6 kg) TNTeq

3 8 Schedule
The schedule for the EDT program is based on the following assumptions
• EDT equipment delivery date is on or about November 2010
• Permitting will be required to be in place prior to any operations, however a temporary
generator may be used during installation until the air permitting process is completed which
will allow for the use of the generators that support DAYtNCHTM operations
• Completion of Installation and Systemization is anticipated to occur the first quarter of
Calendar Year (CY) 2011
• The ORR will take place after Installation and Systemization
• The operational phase will be completed in approximately 2 months, including maintenance
• Decommissioning and Removal is anticipated to occur the Second Quarter of CY2011
3 9 Closure
Annex E provides the Closure Plan for the EDT Once the munition campaigns have concluded,
the site will be shifted to a decontamination and removal process Then, when site closure has
been conducted with respect to decontammation levels, the system will be packaged for shipment
and removal Minimal demolition will be required, and will be limited to a few minor system
components that are not part of the main systems
Decommissioning is designed into the DAVINCH^"^ system A site closure plan will guide the
process of ensuring that the system is completely decontaminated using headspace monitormg to
the Vapor Screen Limit (VSL) for HD All components will be decontaminated to the levels
specified in the closure plan. The system will be removed and transferred to a federal
installation and stored by an agency whose workers are trained in chemical agent operations.
The system will not be discarded upon completion of the TOCDF project, but stored for future
operations.
Components will be removed and enclosed in an approved enclosure (e.g., plastic film), and
monitoring will be conducted to demonstrate that the headspace VSL is met.
The system is self-cleaning to a large extent, simplifying the decommissioning process. A
combination of cleansing shots and ECAD are used for decontamination of the equipment/
piping. Necessary ports are pre-installed in the equipment and piping to provide an insert point
for the nozzle of the ECAD decon wands. As DAVINCH'^'^ has no expansion tank, there is no
concem about accumulation of carbon dust with CA or heavy metals from the munitions paint
residue in the tank. Figure 10 shows the effect of cleansing shots and Figure 11, an illustration
of ECAD.
Cleansing Shot
Figure 10. Inside Chamber before
(Left) and after (Right) Cleansing
Shot Figure 11. ECAD Operation
The EDT will use TOCDF-approved decontamination solutions (such as caustic) for equipment
if decontamination is required.
The SOPs for decontamination of personnel are based on the latest Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) for HD and HT. The decontaminating solution that will be used for personnel will be
consistent with the Emergency and First Aid Procedures that are addressed in the MSDS for HD
(revised: 5 March 2009), published by the ECBC. The primary decontaminating solution for a
liquid exposure to HD is warm or hot water with liquid soap. Sterile saline or water will be used
for any eye contact with HD. Decontaminating solution is collected in the washdown pan in the
change out area.
Any heavy metals are expected to remain within the chamber and will be removed using
decontamination procedures based on the type of metal. Hazardous waste from the PAS will
also be managed on-site in accordance with hazardous waste management rules.
37
The chamber and lid systems will be placed on the shipping pads that were used to deliver the
components A reversal of the process will be conducted to ship the system off-site The off-gas
treatment systems, modular buildings, storage boxes, and utility components will be trucked off-
site Any hazardous waste will be removed by the Versar/ECBC in accordance with the TOCDF
Waste Management Plan All general waste will be placed in approved roll-offs for final
disposition The site will be cleared of debris and retumed to Area 10 control after removal of
intemal fencing, wood, or other packing items
3 10 Description of Occupancy and Destruction of Buildings within Public Access
Exclusion Distance (PAED)
The PAED is defined as the longest distance of the hazardous fragment distance (HFD),
Inhabited Building Distance (IBD) for overpressure, or the One Percent Lethality Distance For
siting purposes, the PAED is analogous to the IBD for explosives, therefore, persormel not
directly associated with the chemical operations are not to be allowed withm the PAED The
PAED for the EDT maximiun credible event (MCE) is defined in Annex D of the SSSP There
are no occupied facilities m Area 10 within the PAED distance arc Site access controls will be
used to prevent entry into the PAED area during explosive operations by blocking off the
adjacent roads as necessary
Annex C of the SSSP for the EDT Site defines the MCE for Establishing PAED as the
detonation of 133 lb of TNTeq The MCE, as defined in DA PAM 385-61, is the potential for an
accident or incident to occur and cause agent release For chemical munitions that have
explosive components assembled in them, the MCE will be based on the functioning of the most
dismptive component that would produce the maximum release of agent The explosive safety
quantity distance for the DAVINCH'^'^ site is based on the accidental detonation of 133 lb of
TNTeq, Hazard Division 1 2, and will be documented in accordance with the DoD Standard
6055 9
3 11 Waste Analysis Plan
The DAVINCH™ will treat wastes that were previously charactenzed by TOCDF, and the
DAVfNCH^'^ will generate wastes that are similar to waste currently generated by TOCDF
incinerator operations
H Projectiles were characterized throughout the 155-mm H Projectile Campaign as different lots
were processed in the Metal Parts Fumace (MPF) Both liquid H and solid heel samples were
collected and analyzed This waste stream has therefore been thoroughly characterized, and no
further characterization is required
The HT mortars were characterized during the Parsons Engineering Design Study I Projectile
Washout System (PWS) Testing (Reference 3) Volume 1 (of 3) of this test report, dated 14
August 2004, provides the analytical results of the HT liquid agent and HT paste found in HT
mortars, and the liquid HD and solid HD heels found in HD mortars The TOCDF additionally
collected liquid HT samples directly from mortars prior to feeding them to MPF and from the
Agent Collection Tank to which the drained HT from mortars was transferred The mortars have
38
been sufficiently charactenzed by these previously sampling and analysis efforts for their
treatment in the DAVINCH™ considenng that the issues with mortar charactenzation is the
presence of mercury The DAVrNCH^"^ PAS is equipped with sulfiir-impregnated activated
carbon filter to control mercury emissions
Waste generated by DAVINCH''"'^ operation are metal munition and overpack fragments,
condensate formed by the oxidation of the hydrogen contained m the chemical agent, munition
burster and explosive LSCs and donor charges, spent scmbber solution, monitoring waste, spent
decontamination solution, particulate filters, ash, spent activated carbon, laboratory waste, and
discarded PPE

Condensate is the combination of scrubber brine and condensate generated from the oxidation of hydrogen
contained in the agent and explosives
Metal munition and overpack fragments removed from the Detonation Chamber will be verified
to less than 0 50 VSL based on headspace monitoring results The fragments will be placed into
banels that are equipped with both an inlet and outlet valve The procedure requires an air
purge, introduced into the sealed container using the inlet valve and vented to the Enclosure
HVAC Carbon Filter System through the headspace monitoring dmm's outlet valve The air
purge IS then stopped and the valves closed The contents of the seal container are allowed to
equilibrate for four hours at 70 °F before an agent monitor is attached to the outlet valve and the
contents sampled If the monitoring results show the agent concentration in the dmm to be less
than 0 50 VSL, the contents of the dmm are transfened to a roll-off or DOT-approved shipping
container for disposal at a Subtitle C Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility (TSDF)
If the monitonng results show a drum headspace result equal to or greater than 0 5 VSL,
for metal fragments and 1 0 VSL for PPE, the dmm and its contents will be transfened to
the TOCDF and processed through either the Metal Parts Fumace (MPF) or the Autoclave
39
Condensate from the oxidation of hydrogen in the explosives and agent is combined with
scmbber bnne The waste stream exiting the liquid scmbber will be analyzed for agent content,
TCLP metals and TCLP organics This waste sfream will be fransferred to an off-site Subtitle C
TSDF provided the agent analytical results show that the agent content is below the Waste
Control Limit (WCL), which for mustard agents is 200 parts per billion (ppb)
Ash is generated in the DAVINCH''''^ Detonation Chamber, the filters are used to remove
particulate from the Detonation Gas, and the cyclone filter is used to remove particulate from the
Detonation Chamber Ventilation air The munitions to be processed in the DAVINCH''"'^ were
over-packed either because the agent cavity was breached so that an agent sample could be
collected from the munition or because the munitions developed a leak while in storage It is
possible that some of the over-packs contain packing matenal and absorbents that were added to
prevent the mumtion from moving inside the over-pack The absorbents used were cloth rags
and vermiculite
This waste stream is anticipated to contain metals in parts per million (ppm) concentrations and
will be sampled and analyzed for agent, TCLP metals, and TCLP organics This waste stream
will be transfened to an off-site Subtitle C TSDF provided the agent analytical results show that
the agent content is below the WCL, which for mustard agents is 200 ppb
Spent activated carbon generated from the DAVINCHTM PAS fixed-bed carbon filter will be
sampled and analyzed for agent, TCLP metals, total metals, and TCLP organics This waste
stream will be transferred to an off-site Subtitle C TSDF provided the agent analytical results
show that the agent content is below the WCL, which for mustard agents is 200 ppb Tables 7

3 12 Personnel Limits and Protective Equipment
3 12 1 Airbome Exposure Limits (AELs)
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) promulgates airbome exposure limits
(AELs) for chemical nerve agents tabun (GA), sann (GB), VX, and blister agent sulfur mustard
(including H, HT, and HD) for demilitanzation workers and the general public (Reference 4)
Exposure critena include short-term exposure limits (STELs) and immediately dangerous to life
or health (IDLH) values These new cntena augment revised long-term cnteria, which include
Worker Population Limits (WPLs) and General Population Limits (GPLs) The cnteria were
revised using vanous nsk assessment approaches, including reference concentration (RfC),
relative potency, categorical regression (CatReg), carcinogenicity potency, and the
CDC/National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) IDLH methods The CDC
believes the revised cnteria meet the goal of protecting workers and the public at potential
airbome concentration levels below those that would result in adverse health effects from acute
exposure, and further protecting against nsk for effects from long-term exposure
For HD and HT, the AELs are
IDLH 0 7mg/m^
STEL 0 003 mg/m^
VSL 0 003 mg/m^
WPL(8hr) 0 0004mg/m^
GPL OOOOlmg/m^
3 12 2 Exposure Points
The DAVINCHTM process potential exposure points are
• Leaking Overpack/at Delivery - Overpacked munitions are delivered to the DAVfiSfCHT"^
in a box tmck The overpacked munitions will be checked prior to placement in the tmck
The sealed storage compartment is monitored for agent upon amval at the DAVINCH^^ If
the monitoring results are confirmed to be greater than or equal to 0 5 VSL the delivery is not
accepted and the contents of the truck are retumed to DCD and processed by the
DAVINCH"^^ at a later date
• Leaking after Receipt from DCD - If the leak occurs within the DAVrNCHT"^
Environmental Enclosure the overpacked mumtion will be placed in a plastic bag to stop the
release of agent vapors and prevent contamination and the bagged overpacked munition will
be treated in the DAVINCH in the intended manner
• Leaking after Entry into Chamber - If agent is detected in the chamber after hanging the
munition, the DAVINCHTM' process will continue Personnel decontamination may be
necessary, which will follow established procedures
• Exposure after Detonation - While potential for this scenario is low, any alarms after the
detonation will be investigated Personnel will back out of the area for decontamination, and
the control system will place the system in the fail-safe mode Established procedures will be
used to isolate, decontaminate, and address the cause of the leak It should be noted that after
nearly 6,000 shots, no exposure has been detected at any of the DAVINCHTM sites
3 12 3 Personal Protective Equipment
45
The PPE for the operator crews v^U consist of supplied PPE, including but not limited to
coveralls and cotton goods to be wom by operators dunng chemical weapons operations, and
Toxicological Agent Protective (TAP) gear to include butyl boots, gloves, and M2A1 Aprons as
required Respiratory protection will be through M40 masks with approved activated carbon
canisters The M40 mask combines the protective mechanisms of a charcoal filter against CWA
vapors (especially nerve agent and vesicant)
3 13 Mitigation of Hazards (including Contingency Plans)
Annex F provides the TOCDF EDT Emergency Response Plan, which will be the guiding
document for contingency planning for EDT operations
3 13 1 Containment
The DAVINCHTM containment systems are based on the following levels of containment/
engineering controls The "primary" containment for the munitions are the existing overpacks
The "secondary" or DAVFNCHTM containment is the chamber itself The detonation chamber lid
has a space to capture escaping gas, and the skid-mounted off-gas units are contained in 40-ft
containers, ducted to the EE enclosure The whole process of receipt and preparation of
munitions, the detonation chamber unit, waste handlmg, and the off-gas treatment are contained
in a temporary plastic-film (with aluminum- or steel-framed) shehers acting as the EE
containment stmcture The airflow from the EE containment provides a design negative pressure
-0 10 to -0 5 inWC
3 13 2 Safety m Enclosure
Safety systems included in the enclosure have explosion mitigation bamers in accordance with
DoD 6055 9-STD, DoD Ammunition and Explosives Safety Standards (02-29-2008) In
addition, worker safety will be ensured through a lockout/tagout program, a PA system for
notification, CCTV observation. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) safety
markings and exclusion area markings within the facility, railings and buffer zones, and waming
or informational signage Training will also be conducted to ensure safe operations m the
enclosure
3 13 3 PPE Fit Testing
All operators will be responsible for ensuring that their PPE is fit for use, properly wom, and
checked at the time of use
3 13 4 Emergencv and Evacuation
In the event of an upset condition personnel on site will be notified by the PA system
Evacuation will then occur m accordance with the SOP for response to upset conditions requiring
evacuation All personnel evacuating from the site will report to a designated location and will
be checked against the site occupancy sign-off list for the day to ensure that all are safely
evacuated
3 13 5 Emergency Response Actions
The TOCDF and DCD have in place assets, programs, and plans for emergency response The
TODCF will provide response to any EDT incident requiring emergency response The EDT
46
operation will have a direct line to the TOCDF operations center for notification of upset or

10 INTRODUCTION
This document presents a site-specific plan for air and waste monitonng at the site of the
Detonation of Ammunition in a Vacuum Integrated Chamber (DAVINCH''''^) Explosive
Destmction Technology (EDT) System at the Deseret Chemical Depot (DCD), Stockton, Utah
This plan addresses the monitonng requirements as specified m the U S Army Chemical Matenals
Agency (CMA) Programmatic Monitoring Concept Plan (MCP), the CMA Programmatic
Laboratory and Monitonng Quality Assurance Plan (LMQAP), and the Edgewood Chemical
Biological Center (ECBC) Envu-onment Momtormg Laboratory, Laboratory and Monitoring
Quality Control Plan (LMQCP) for Chemical Materials Agency (CMA) and for Chemical Agent
Standard Analytical Reference Material (CASARM)
1 1 Background
EG&G DMI, a contractor to the U S Army and operator of the Tooele Chemical Demilitanzation
Facility (TOCDF), located on the DCD, has a requirement for a technology to process 333 reject
munitions that either exhibited or have a high probability of exhibiting conditions that do not
allow them to be processed using baseline practices The TOCDF researched other technologies
used to destroy leaking and overpacked chemical weapons, including Explosive Destmction
Technology (EDT) that has been or is cunently being used in the United States, United Kingdom,
Belgium, and Germany
Explosive Destmction Technology evolved from an increasing need to safely destroy recovered
chemical warfare material (RCWM) The EDTs have safely destroyed RCWMs in Pine Bluff,
Arkansas, Waianae, Hawaii, Porton Down, United Kingdom, Poelkapelle, Belgium, and Munster,
Germany Riot control and various mustard agents (with and without energetics) have also been
safely destroyed by EDTs These EDTs have also proven effective for destmction of
conventional weapons
EG&G DMI has subcontracted with Versar, Inc , to provide EDT services to include a detonation
chamber, exhaust gas filtration system, environmental enclosure with engineered cascade
ventilation system, all necessary subsystems and operators as a complete package, this package
will be delivered to, installed, systemized, operated, closed, and removed from the DCD in
Stockton, Utah The EDT system to be provided by Versar (i e , DAVINCH™, model DV60 )
will process the chemical warfare matenal (CWM) inventory of 155-mm Projectiles and 4 2-inch
Mortars (leakers and rejects) and agent samples stored at the TOCDF and identified for explosive
system destmction disposal by the Munitions Assessment Review Board (MARB) The chemical
agent of concem for these munitions is mustard The EDT process at DCD is to mn parallel to
TOCDF's current baseline schedule so as not to impact TOCDF mission completion by the CWC
treaty date
The Explosive Detonation System concept of operations is to destroy overpacked chemical
munitions using specialized explosive donor charges in a vacuum-assisted, multiple-layered,
armored steel chamber capable of containing the explosion The extreme pressures,
temperatures, and shock waves generated by the donor charge destroy the overpack, munition
body, explosives/burster charges contained m the munitions, and chemical agent fill in
microseconds Operations will be controlled from a remote control room that contains all human-
machine interface, process monitoring, CCTV, and communication equipment The DV60 has
the capacity to destroy 133 lb (60 kg of TNT equivalent) of explosives and all of the specified
1
munitions listed in the RFP without unpacking or other pre-treatment, in a lO-hour-day/4-day-
per-week operation mode
The system's major subsystems include
• DAVINCHTM Explosive Detonation Chamber,
• Off-Gas Treatment System,
• Control System,
• Utility System, and
• Ancillary Equipment
The general personal protective equipment (PPE) to be wom during EDT System operations will
be Level C However, all momtonng will be performed at levels required for unmasked workers,
designated as "no respiratory protection" in airbome exposure limit (AEL) tables
All MINICAMS™ momtonng systems will operate continuously under normal baseline and,
therefore, will be challenged during non-operational hours Chemical agent products are not
intended to be stored on-site m the Environmental Enclosure (EE) dunng non-operational hours
12 Purpose
The purpose of this plan is to provide the strategy to monitor for potential airbome vapor
concenfrations and generated waste products for the chemicals of concem during operation of the
DAVrNCH'^^M System at the DCD EDT site The monitoring equipment will serve to provide
agent detection, worker and general population protection at the site, and to mdicate whether or
not EDT operations are m confrol
13 Scope
This plan establishes momtonng objectives, procedures, and responsibilities for the execution of
a monitonng program at the DCD EDT site Monitoring strategies used to support operations at
the site are based on the following assumptions
• The chemical material contents of each munition/item have been identified
• Items will be processed based on a predetermined quantity per day
• The EDT unit will be located in an EE
1 4 Chemical Agents of Concern
The DAVnSfCH'TM System will be used to destroy munitions/items filled with the following
chemical agents
• Levinstein mustard (H), or bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide Mustard produced by
the levmstem process contains about 30 percent sulfur impunties The H is
monitored as distilled mustard (HD)
• Distilled mustard (HD), or bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide, CAS number 505-60-2
The HD is H that has been purified by washing and vacuum distillation to reduce
sulfur impunties
• HT, or a lethal vesicant composed of approximately 60 percent HD [bis(2-
chloroethyl) sulfide] and 40 percent agent T {bis[2-(2-chloroethylthio)ethyl]ether}
Both HD and T are alkylating agents The HT is monitored as HD
1 5 Monitormg Objectives
Monitonng dunng DAVrNCH'^^M gj)j operations will be performed to ensure that chemical
matenal destmction operations are being safely conducted, and to detect any conditions that may
cause a release of chemical matenal Momtonng of the DCD EDT site will
' • Provide worker protection

3 0 MONITORING CONCEPT
Monitonng for toxic chemicals is a critical element for the effective implementation of the U S
Army's cardinal principle, which is defined as follows
"The cardinal principle to be observed in any location or operation
involving explosives, ammunition, or toxic chemical agents is to
limit the potential exposure to a minimum number of personnel,
4
for a minimum period of time, and to a minimum amount of the
hazardous material consistent with safe and efficient
operations " (DA Pam 385-61, March 2002, Paragraph 6-1)
To effectively implement the cardmal prmciple, engmeermg confrols, admimstrative confrols,
and PPE are used in combination, and each play a cntical support role Engmeenng and
admimsfrative controls shall be implemented, when practical, to minimize
• Number of personnel involved m operations,
• Personnel exposure time, and
• Toxic chemical concentrations
Use of engineering and administrative controls shall be implemented to the extent possible to
reduce the PPE level of protection When engmeenng and admimstrative controls are not
practical or are determined to be insufficient, PPE shall be considered for effective mitigation of
potential exposure
Monitoring shall be used to evaluate the overall effectiveness of engineering and admimsfrative
controls, and when PPE is used, momtonng shall be used to ensure that levels, as defined m
section 4 0, are not exceeded
Placement of each momtonng/sampling point shall be based on potential chemical migration
points, and designated momtormg points shall be verified via the use of sulfur hexafluonde (SF6)
or smoke tests When monitonng supports personnel protection, monitoring locations should be
located in close proximity to personnel work activities All monitoring devices used for
CWM detection shall satisfy the certification and performance requirements specified in the
CMA-LMQAP, most current revision
4 0 MONITORING STANDARDS AND CONTROL LIMITS
Airborne Exposure Limits (AELs) for H, HD, HT, at the STEL, WPL, General Population
Limit (GPL), and Vapor Screening Limit (VSL) are listed in Tables 4-1 and 4-2
4 1 AELs for Chemical Agents
Values identified in Table 4-1 are final CDC recommendations for H/HD/HT AELs Values
identified in Table 4-2 are time-and-concentration derived values Table 4-2 provides
maximum concentration values not to be exceeded for a given period of time, depending on
the level of protection wom by personnel The STEL values are short-term exposure limits
Occurrences above these short-term concentrations require immediate egress and re-entry in
increased level of protection The WPL values are long-term exposure limits If a worker is in
an area for 8 hours, the average concentration m the area for the 8-hour period should not exceed
the 8-hour WPL exposure limit for the level of protection wom by the worker If the exposure
limit is exceeded, implementation of corrective actions is required
4 2 AEL Definitions
4.2.1 General Population Limit (GPL)
The GPL is an allowable 72-hour, time-weighted-average concenfration for the general
population The limit applies to the entire population, includmg all ages and medical conditions
The 12-hour GPL for HD is 2 x 10'^ mg/m^
4.2.2 Worker Population Limit (WPL)
The WPL is the average allowable concenfration that an unmasked worker could be exposed to
for an 8- to 12-hour workday, 40 hours per week for 30 years, without adverse effects The WPL
for the DCD EDT Site has been adjusted to reflect a 10- to 12-hour work shift However, smce
operators will not spend more than 8 hours undergoing destmction operations, the 8-hour WPL
for HD (i e 4 X I0"^mg/m^) will be used,
4 2 3 Short-Term Exposure Limit (STEL)
The STEL is the maximum concenfration to which unprotected chemical agent workers may
be exposed to for up to 15 mmutes, continuously The STEL for mustard agent is 3 x 10'^
mg/m^ Only one exposure daily is allowed at the STEL for mustard
4 2 4 Vapor Screening Limit (VSL)
The VSL is a vapor concenfration term that is independent of time It may be used to defme the
level to which an item is momtored to determme the agent contamination level The VSL for
mustard agent is 3 x 10' mg/m
4 2 5 Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH)
The IDLH is the maximum concenfration, m the event of respirator failure, where a person could
escape withm 30 mmutes without a respirator and without experiencmg any escape-irnpamng
(e g , severe eye imtation) or irreversible health effects The IDLH level is 0 7 mg/m for
mustard agent

Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) do not specifically recommend additional reduction factors for statistical assurance of action at
the exposure limit, exposures to sulfur mustard should be mimmized given the uncertamties in nsk assessment, particularly as related to charactenzing
carcinogenic potency
The toxicity data for agent T is inadequate for setting exposure limits The very low vapor pressure for agent T precludes its classification as a vapor hazard under
nonnal ambient conditions For sulfur mustard and T mixtures, air momtonng for sulfur mustard alone should be sufficient, under most circumstances, to prevent
exposure to T
To be evaluated with a near-real-time instrument using shortest practicable analytic cycle time No more than one exposure per work-shifl
The mustard IDLH is based only on non-carcinogenic effects No IDLH has been established for carcinogens
Historical monitoring typically is used for time-weighted-average (TWA) monitonng where the sample analyzed represents an extended time penod, for example,
8 or 12 hours Results are not known until laboratory analysis is completed after the sampling event The AELs using histoncal monitoring are set at levels at which
health effects are not expected to occur for most workers Exposures above the WPL-8, but below the STEL, likewise, are not expected to result m sigmficant
health effects unless such exposures occur continuously for long time periods

Notes
Airbome exposure limits (AELs) are taken from Army Regulation 385-61 (12 October 01) and 69 FR 29164-29168 (03 May 04)
All AELs are concentration and time values, not concentration only values Administrative controls may be used to limit potential exposure to workers
However, because administrative controls cannot be used to limit the duration of potential public exposure, only the worker population limit (WPL) protective
action level is significantly affected by administraUve controls, which limit the duration of potenfial exposure
The maximum use concentration is the product of the AEL and the assigned protection factor for the respirator The assigned protection factors used m this table
are taken fi-om 68 FR 34036-34119, 6 June 2003

5 0 MONITORING AND SAMPLING EQUIPMENT
The chemicals of concem at the DCD EDT site will be momtored usmg the following equipment
• MINICAMS™, and
• DAAMS tube sample collection followed by analysis with GC/MS
The MINICAMS^"^ is considered a Near-Real-Time (NRT) agent monitor The DAAMS is used
as a histoncal method and for confirmation of NRT alarms and histoncal concentrations greater
than the reportable limit(s) The following paragraphs describe the momtonng equipment in more
detail
5 1 MINICAMS™ Equipment Descnption
The MINICAMS™ is an automated gas chromatograph (GC) that operates by alternating between
sampling and analysis cycles During the sampling cycle, a vacuum system pulls an air sample
into the MINICAMS™ via a heat-traced sample line (HTSL)
5 1 1 MINICAMS™ Configuration/Operation
The air sample enters the MINICAMS^'^ and concentrates on a solid sorbent tube (i e , a pre-
concentrator tube) The sorbent tube is maintained at a temperature that will prevent condensation
from forming on the tube Dunng sample analysis, the solid sorbent tube is heated to thermally
desorb the analytes, while nitrogen flows into the sorbent tube to sweep the analytes into the
capillary column for analytical separation Analytes undergo chromatographic separation
and are earned to the detector for sample analysis
5.2 DAAMS Sampling Equipment Description
The DAAMS tubes are used to confirm agent MINICAMS™ alarms and to provide histoncal
monitoring at WPL The DAAMS stations are comprised of solid sorbent (TENAX)
DAAMS tubes, sample mamfolds, sequencers, pumps, and flow control devices Air
monitormg with DAAMS employs air aspiration through the DAAMS tube for a
predetermined penod of time at a controlled airflow rate Contaminants in the air are adsorbed
on the solid sorbent Aspirated DAAMS samples are then analyzed in the laboratory to detect
chemical matenal at the prescnbed momtonng levels Laboratory analysis uses thermal
desorption of the analj^es from the sorbent tubes into a GC/MS
5 3 Near-Real-Time Monitors
The Near-Real-Time (NRT) Monitors are configured to monitor the chemical agents being
processed at the Site These NRT monitors are used to monitor the operational areas,
filters, and stacks They may monitor at the WPL, VSL, and IDLH concenfrations of the
mustard chemical agents
5 4 Depot Area Air Monitoring System
Depot Area Air Momtormg System (DAAMS) collects air samples to detect chemical agents,
for confirmafron of NRT momtor alarms Analysis of DAAMS samples provides
confirmation of agent if concentrafrons are at or above the defined Reportmg Limit (RL) The
RL for Histoncal WPL DAAMS is 0 5 WPL The RL for NRT confirmation DAAMS is any
positive response based on a minimum peak area above the instrument noise level to be
determmed durmg method development Instrumentation used for agent confirmation is GC-
Mass Selective Detector (GC-MSD)
5.5 Dilution Air Flow Controllers (DAFC)
Both the NRT monitor and DAAMS use dilution airflow confrollers The purpose of the dilution
flow confrollers is to mject dry air mto the sample sfream to prevent the hqmd m the sample from
condensing m the samplmg equipment, keeping the sample above the dew point The dilution
flow confrollers are designed such that the flow control device has a feedback signal to a flow
meter This feedback signal causes the ratio of the sample flow to stay constant once the two are
locked together Therefore, the unit compensates for any intermptions in the sample flow and
mamtams the correct ratio The agent concenfration m the DAAMS tubes is calculated usmg the
volume of sample air, not the dilution au" The same theory of operation holds tme with the NRT
monitors The NRT monitors are calibrated regardless of the quantity of dilution air The
dilution air can be considered a earner for the sample The agent concentration is based on the
volume of the sample
5 6 Backup Equipment
The fiinction of the NRT monitor is to rapidly detect agent Should a needed instmment fail, the
first response is to froubleshoot and repair it in place Should the estimated repair time be in
excess of 1 Yi hours the NRT monitor shall be replaced with an NRT momtor from the
contingency If an NRT designated as a RCRA station in this plan is off Ime, except for those
used for spoolmg, for more than 1 Yi hours the associated DAAMS tubes will be pulled and
analyzed, once the monitor is back on Ime, as the primary momtor

10 INTRODUCTION
This Closure Strategy descnbes performance standards and procedures to close the DAVINCH''''^
Explosive Detonation Technology (EDT) for reuse This plan presents methods to identify
contaminated system equipment, decontaminate contaminated system equipment, dispose of all
wastes and contaminated matenals, perform venfication samplmg to confirm successful
decontamination, and certify closure
After the system operations are completed, the DAVINCH™ will be transported to a storage
facility at a Govemment site where qualified plant workers using appropnate procedures will
operate the system The DAVINCH™ will remain under Govemment control (expected to be
the Edgewood Chemical Biological Center in Edgewood, Maryland), therefore, the standard for
decontamination of the equipment for removal is 200ppb or less than 1 0 VSL for HD
1 1 General Description
The EDT will be located m Area 10 at DCD It will be used to destroy overpacked chemical
munitions and vanous samples from the Deseret Chemical Depot (DCD) Chemical Stockpile
Operational waste will be handled in accordance with the TOCDF Waste Management Plan and
Chapter 3 11 of the Destruction Plan
1 2 Closure Strategy
Figure E-1 presents the general process for ensuring that the EDT site is closed in accordance
with applicable standards The EDT and associated equipment addressed in this strategy
includes the DAVINCH''"'^ main chamber, the off-gas treatment systems, the Environmental
Enclosure (EE), and associated equipment that may have been in contact with chemical agent
(CA) as determined by agent monitoring results and a review of DAVINCH^"^ operational
history No hazardous waste residue will remain on the EDT site after closure
Per Utah R315-8-7, Closure and Post-Closure (that incorporates by reference 40 CFR 264 111),
an owner or operator must close a permitted hazardous waste management unit in a manner that
minimizes the need for further maintenance and controls, minimizes or eliminates, to the extent
necessary to protect human health and the environment, post-closure escape of hazardous waste,
hazardous constituents, leachate, contaminated mn-off, or hazardous waste decomposition
products to the groundwater, surface waters, or the atmosphere
All EDT operations are performed in a manner designed to control and eliminate the escape of
hazardous waste and hazardous constituents into the environment The EDT operations at
TODCF will take place inside an EE comprised of a ceiling, sides, and flooring that will protect
the hazardous waste management unit from precipitation and mn-on as well as prevent the
creation of any contaminated mnoff Engineering and administrative controls are in place to
control, minimize, or eliminate the possibility of contamination to groundwater, surface waters,
or the atmosphere from EDT operations, they include
• An air filtration system with carbon filtration.

Decontamination procedures involve
• Tenting, allowing 4 hours for equilibration at a minimum of 70°F then conducting head space
monitonng using MINICAMS to less than 1 VSL for HD for two successive MINICAMS
cycles
Conducting monitonng at a mmimum of 70°F using MINICAMS to less than 1 VSL for HD
for 24 hours
• If MINICAMS readings are 1 0 VSL or greater, then decontamination actions are executed
including, but not limited to the following
1) Performing decontamination of the chamber and chamber door through
Electrostatically Charged Aerosol Decontamination (ECAD), which uses a
proprietary method of applying decontamination fluids to the chamber and its interior
passages The ECAD uses a statically charged particle generator to ensure that
decontamination solution adheres to the inner surface of the chamber and the inner
liner(s) for the chamber and lids
2) Disassembling components of the chamber and chamber door, decontaminating
components (e g , 0-ring, blast shield, and covers), and manually
cleaning/decontaminating these components if headspace monitoring is identified
3) Conducting "cleansing shots" which are explosive detonations without munitions to
clean the mterior of the chamber, and use the detonation process to remove any
contaminants
4) Cleaning sample and drain lines
5) Cleaning contact surfaces (electrical panels, debris pan, spill containment trays,
railings, and other operator-contacted surfaces)
• Monitoring, and if necessary, cleaning the EE
Collecting disposable components (i e , plastic film shielding and other items considered
consumable/not reusable), and placing them in waste containers for disposal
• Perfomnng air momtormg, samplmg, and pertinent assessments to confirm that the standards
for removal are met, these assessments include, but are not limited to, rmsate sampling, filter
media sampling, visual assessment of system condition to ensure that no visible residue
remains in the chamber or piping, review of monitoring records to determine potential for
system intemal contamination and headspace monitonng
• Reassembling and packing the EDT and subsystems for shipment off-site
Cleaning/decontaminating solutions may include hot soapy water/general detergent or other
appropriate decontaminant, technique is referenced in United States (US) Army Field Manual
(FM) 3-5 For example, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), a standard decontaminant for chemical
agent, is identified as a suitable decontaminant The decontamination/cleamng solutions are
generally applied manually with a spray device or by wiping down with cloth or paper towels
and wipes
Prior to initiating closure and verification activities to confirm successful EDT decontamination,
the previously-described decontamination procedures will have been conducted and air
monitoring results recorded, and all EDT process and cleaning wastes collected, containerized,
E-4
and removed from the EE Wastes wall be properly characterized as outlined m the Waste
Management Plan (Section 3 11 of the EDT Destmction Plan) and temporanly stored in a less-
than-90-day waste storage area pending shipment off-site for further treatment or disposal
Air monitoring results will be compared to the closure performance standards listed in Table E-1
If results do not meet the closure performance standards, then decontamination will be repeated
until the closure performance standards are met The sampling method, EDT components, and
areas for de-ionized water rmsate sampling, if necessary, are identified in Appendix E-1
Momtonng results will be compared against the closure performance standard values listed in
Table E-1, if monitonng analytical results do not meet the closure performance standards in
Table E-1, equipment will be decontaminated until they are met
The EDT will be deemed closed when air monitonng, and if necessary, liquid sampling results
meet the closure performance standards identified in Table E-1
The EE air filtration system will continue to operate and monitoring conducted until air
momtormg and nnse water sample results are received The EE will be decontaminated to the
less than 1 0 VSL level for retum to ECBC
Once the EDT unit is certified closed to less than 1 0 VSL, the EDT and EE will be demobilized
Demobilization will involve packing and removing the EDT equipment from the enclosure and
then dismantling the enclosure If, during demobilization, equipment or areas are discovered to
be still contaminated, these areas/equipment will be decontaminated and decontamination
verified as previously described
The types of wastes expected to be generated from closure activities include spent
decontamination solutions/nnse waters, used PPE, and wipes, rags, and other absorbent and

1 1 Specific Contingency Plans
Contingency plans for the site include measures to prevent emergencies or, if any
emergency occurs, to limit the negative impact The major aspects of these plans are
• Preventive Measures - Measures that should prevent or limit an emergency incident
• Response Actions - Specific actions to be taken in an emergency situation
• Notification - Response organizations or personnel to be notified in case of
emergency
1 1 1 Preventative Measures
The following measures will be implemented to prevent or limit an emergency incident
• Stnctly adhering to the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), including use of PPE
F-2
dunng all EDT site activities
Use of controlled access (i e , the persormel decontamination station airlock to the
environmental enclosure must be passed through by personnel as they enter and exit
the enclosure)
Determining the evacuation route and rallying point, and communicating it to workers
dunng the daily safety bnefing
Keeping standard absorbent materials, shovels, and overpacks on-site to contain a
spill or leak A review of the EDT consumable list and venfication checklist will be
used to ensure appropnate inventones of these matenals
Discontinuing operations when inclement/hazardous weather conditions pose a threat
to the safe workmg environment Some of the items to be considered prior to
determining if work should contmue are heat stress, severe weather conditions, such
as high wmd, fog, and heavy ram, and potential for electncal storms
1 1 2 Emergencv Plannihg
Response actions by EDT at TOCDF personnel for spills or releases will depend on
whether the release occurs withm or outside of engmeenng control, it can be safely
managed using EDT site persormel and resources on hand, and the release involves
chemical agent Any spills or releases will be immediately assessed by the EDT Site
Manager or designee to determine the following information
• Material(s) involved,
• Exact source of release,
• Quantity of release, and
• Release classification
Release to the environment (not wholly contained in the EE) or release contained,
extent of any matenals released to the environment and extent of injuries
Releases or spills occumng withm engineering controls or for an incident at the
EDT site that can be managed using available EDT site supplies and resources
will be managed by EDT site personnel The TOCDF Control Room will be
notified if any emergency condition occurs and of all spill of hazardous materials
or hazardous wastes
Spills beyond the management capability of the EDT Site Manager will be managed by
TOCDF personnel under their emergency response procedures Spills or releases outside
of EDT engineering controls or those that cannot be managed using EDT site personnel
and resources will be handled in accordance with the TOCDF Emergency Response Plan
The TOCDF and DCD emergency responders, including fire and medical personnel, will
be on duty during EDT operations The DCD Fire Department and the TOCDF Clinic
will provide the emergency and medical response to the TOCDF EDT at the request of
the EDT Site Manager through the TOCDF Control Room office
If the incident is beyond the capabilities of TOCDF response personnel, the EDT Site
Manager or designee will contact the TOCDF Control Room Emergency responders
may be reached by calling the DCD Fire Department via the TOCDF Control Room (435
F-3
833-7700) as indicated in Table F-l (see previous)
112 1 Amendment of Emergency Response and Contingency Action
These emergency response and contingency actions will be reviewed and amended, if
necessary, when
• Applicable regulations are revised
• Actions fail m an emergency
• Facility changes in its design, constmction, operation, maintenance, or other
circumstances in a way that matenally increases potential for fires, explosions, or
release of hazardous materials or hazardous waste/constituents, or changes response
necessary in an emergency
• List of emergency equipment changes
Note Revisions to this Emergency Response Plan constitute a revision to the TOCDF
RCRA Permit and must be done through permit modification procedures specified in
Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR), Part 270 42, Appendix I, B 6
112 2 Emergency Equipment at EDT Site at TOCDF
Spill kits will be located inside the EE and the decontamination stations The spill kit
will contain spill pillows and assorted items to facilitate the containment and reduction of
liquid spills Additionally, shovels, brooms, portable decontamination sprayers, and
other such equipment will be located at the EDT site to further aid in the containment of
any liquid spills Other emergency equipment will be provided on an as-needed basis by
TOCDF emergency response services
1 1 3 Response Actions
This section describes response actions that will be used for incidents or events requiring
some action by EDT site personnel, visitors, contractors, and extemal support personnel
for the following categories events involving Chemical Warfare Material (CWM),
events involving non-CWM, medical assistance, fire/explosion, severe weather, and
extemal arsenal events
113 1 General Spill or Release Response
The following actions will be followed for spills or releases that occur within engmeenng
controls and/or that can be reasonably handled using EDT site personnel and resources on
hand
• Notify the TOCDF Control Room
• Weanng appropnate protective clothing per the direction of Site Safety and Health
Officer
• Containing the spill in the smallest area possible using absorbent socks, berms, or
other means
• Repairing or plugging the leak, if possible
• Decontaminating the release area using installation policies and DA Pam 385-61,
including use of approved decontamination methods, including use of
decontamination solutions, and post-decontamination monitoring via MfNICAMS to
less than 1 0 VSL level
F-4
• For container spills, placing containers in overpack or removing container contents, if
necessary, using a portable pump, and transfemng matenal to a new container If the
matenal was released to secondary containment (for contents released from a
container), released material either will be pumped out of the containment area using
a portable pump or absorbed usmg compatible absorbent materials such as pillows,
socks, or granules
• Decontaminating equipment and clothmg as directed by the EDT Site Manager as
applicable
• Managing spent chemical agent decontamination solutions and other waste
decontamination solutions as hazardous waste
• Placing absorbed or pumped matenal into DOT-approved containers and managing
appropriately in accordance with applicable permits and mles pertaining to hazardous
waste management and spill reporting for hazardous material
113 2 Events Involving CWM
If exposure to chemical agent is suspected, or symptoms of agent exposure develop,
operators will hold their breaths and immediately don escape masks, sound the air hom
(one long blast) or give verbal waming (if workspace alarm has not soimded), and report
to the Personnel Decontamination Station area or rally point
The Crew Chief/SHO will notify the TOCDF Control Room of the suspected or known
release and of any casualty requiring immediate medical attention Casualties will be
processed through the Personnel Decontamination Station, and decontamination will not
be delayed until the amval of medical personnel unless physical injuries prevent safe
movement of the casualty Operators not showing symptoms of agent exposure will be
processed through the Personnel Decontamination Station and will stand by for further
instmction The EE provides engineering control so that personnel outside the EE will
not be exposed to hazardous concentrations of chemical agent vapors
Under no circumstances will incoming personnel or visitors be allowed to proceed into
the Chemical Response Zone (CRZ) once the emergency signal has been given unless
authorized Further emergency response to chemical agent release and injuries will be
directed by the TOCDF Control Room
113 3 Events Involving Non-CWM Matenals
When an incident occurs involving non-chemical agent hazardous materials (for example,
chemical reagents, industrial solvents, decontamination agents, fuels) in a quantity that
cannot be managed by EDT site personnel and resources on hand, the EDT Site Manager
will contact the TOCDF Control Room that assistance is required Otherwise, the
TOCDF Control Room will be notified that a spill occuned and the EDT operators will
respond using materials contained in the spill kits and follow the general spill or release
response steps
Typical responses to chemical exposure emergencies shall include
• Inhalation - Move to fresh air and call for emergency assistance as indicated in the
subsequent paragraphs
F-5
• Skin Contact - Use copious amounts of soap and water Wash and nnse affected area
thoroughly, and then provide appropnate medical attention An eye wash will be
provided at the EDT personnel decontamination station Eyes should be nnsed for 15
minutes upon exposure Drenching, if required, will be performed at the personnel
decontammation station
• Ingestion - Call for emergency assistance and process through the personnel
decontamination station immediately
• Puncture Wound or Laceration - Call for emergency assistance as indicated in the
subsequent paragraphs If chemical matenals are involved, process through the
Personnel Decontammation Station immediately If no chemical matenals are
involved, processing through the Personnel Decontamination Station is not required
113 4 Industrial Accidents and Medical Emergencies Assistance
If a worker is injured or becomes ill on the job, trained co-workers will implement first
aid/CPR if necessary Emergency medical guidance and assistance will be provided by
the TOCDF emergency services The DCD Fire Department will be contacted at (435-
833-7700) (landlme) through the TOCDF Control Room
For medical emergencies involving CWM exposures, personnel shall follow the TOCDF
Contingency Plan Additionally, procedures relative to medical monitonng and post-
exposure results are established by the TOCDF Medical Director and will be adhered to
in the event of individual exposure
113 5 Potential or Actual Fire or Explosion
Evacuation diagrams will be posted conspicuously throughout the EDT at TOCDF site
A common rally point shall also be identified The EDT has been designed to minimize
the possibility of a fire associated with the system The EDT uses electrically-powered
equipment, combustible liquids, and compressed gas in various operations
When a fire is spotted by a team member, he or she will sound an alarm (i e , an air hom)
The operator must inform the EDT Site Manager of the size and location of the fire If
the fire is small, the operators may attempt to extinguish it using a portable fire
extinguisher If this attempt is successful, the crew member will inform the EDT Site
Manager of the fire status If the fire is large, involves materials that present an increased
hazard to the crew member, or the first attempt to control the fire is unsuccessful, the
crew members will evacuate the area and inform the EDT Site Manager
The EDT Site Manager will contact the TOCDF Control Room and request assistance
This contact should include a description of the type and size of the fire, the location of
the fire, and the method for contacting the EDT Site Manager The EDT Site Manager
will account for all persormel, including visitors, on the site
Regardless of the size of the fire, the TOCDF Control Room will be called They will be
informed of the nature of the fire and whether or not items containing chemical agents are
involved
F-6
If a shot is determined to be a partial detonation, SOP procedures will be followed In the
event that such a partial detonation occurs, procedures and nsk assessments are in place
to enter the chamber and address the issue It is not considered an emergency condition
unless a release or explosive hazard exists, which will be addressed as part of this plan
The Hazard Assessment has determined that this is an imlikely occunence
1 1 3 6 PPE Failure
If any site worker experiences a PPE failure that affects the protective ability of the
equipment, that person will immediately inform the Crew Chief and report to the
Personnel Decontamination Station for assistance Re-entry to the EDT operations area
will not be permitted until the equipment has been repaired or replaced and the EDT
Crew Chief has granted permission
113 7 Physical Injury
Emergency first aid shall be applied onsite as necessary A first-aid kit is available at the
Personnel Decontamination Station For minor non-emergency physical mjunes
requiring medical treatment beyond on-site first aid, the casualty will be transported to
the nearest healthcare facility The TOCDF Control Room will be notified of all injuries
113 8 Severe Weather
The TOCDF Control Room will inform the EDT Control Room of weather advisories
such as severe weather watches or warnings The EDT Site Manager and SHO will
consider this information and make modifications to the work schedule as appropnate to
ensure worker safety Dunng severe weather, when notified, all personnel exposed to the
elements will report to the designated safe location When lightning is detected, all EDT
operation activities will cease
The EDT Site Manager will develop a list of key personnel and ensure employee
awareness In the event that TOCDF is closed (due to severe weather), the EDT Site
Manager will notify key personnel to report to the site to ensure continued safety of any
CWM and ensure that cntical equipment (such as monitormg equipment and ventilation
equipment) is maintained These personnel will be on hand once the order to reopen the
base is given, so activities at the EDT site can proceed with a minimum of mtermption
Any munitions in overpacks that are on site in the event of an evacuation or work
stoppage of operations due to severe weather conditions will be secured in the enclosure
If evacuation is not called for, then CPRP members will monitor the status of the
munitions If munitions/overpacks are set up with explosives and not yet placed in the
chamber, the explosives operator will remove any detonators and render the item safe
before evacuation, or, during severe weather If the munition/overpack is in the chamber,
the chamber door will be closed and secured by the DCS In all cases, health and safety
concems will ovenide any actions taken to secure munitions
113 9 Extemal TOCDF Emergencies
The potential exists that an accident or incident somewhere else on TOCDF will require
evacuation of the EDT site The TOCDF Control Room will inform the EDT Control
F-7
Room of such emergencies should they occur
113 10 Evacuation Plan
Personnel assigned to the EDT site will be mstmcted in evacuation signals, procedures,
and routes from the EDT site
An evacuation route from the EDT site will be determined pnor to operations
Evacuation procedures are as follows
• The EDT Site Manager or designee will make the decision to evacuate
• Upon direction to evacuate, the EDT Site Manager or designee will notify all
persormel in the area of an evacuation by an audible alarm/or vocal command
• If an incident occurs inside the EE, non-essential personnel (as defined by the EDT
Site Manager) will don protective masks and proceed outside to an upwind assembly
point All essential personnel will don protective masks (unless already m higher-
level PPE) and will rally at the Personnel Decontamination Station to prepare for
decontaminating the affected area
• If the incident has occurred outside the EE, the same procedure will be followed and
all non-essential personnel will be evacuated from the assembly point to a safe
distance, upwind of the incident Windsocks located at the site will indicate wind
direction
• The EDT Site Manager will identify the evacuation route from the EDT site based on
the type of incident and prevailing wind
• The EDT Site Manager or designee will contact the TOCDF Control Room by phone
or radio and will indicate the number of personnel requiring transportation from the
assembly point as necessary
• If required, transportation will be provided for all personnel at the designated
assembly point Personnel who are injured or may have been exposed to hazardous
chemicals or chemical agents will be decontaminated in the EDT Personnel
Decontamination Station, and then will be taken immediately to the TOCDF Medical
Clinic
113 11 Notification and Reporting
The primary responsibility for notification will lie with the Crew Chief with assistance from all
other field personnel Table F-l (shown previously) provides information for the responsible
person or agency notification In accordance with the appropriate Permit Conditions, The
Executive Secretary shall be notified within 24-hours if there is a confirmed agent
concentration in the DAVINCH PAS and Environmental Enclosure Combmed Stack that
is equal to or greater than 0 5 Vapor Screening Limit (VSL) Required reports are made
in accordance with R315-8-4 7(i) & Q) and TOCDF Part B Permit Conditions
The operator must note in the operating record the time, date, and details of any incident
that requires implementing the Contingency Plan For any emergency event requiring
HAZMAT release reporting, the operator will notify the TOCDF Control Room The
TOCDF Control Room will notify the DCD EOC and the CMA Shift Engineer and
provide a copy of the event report All reporting to the Army, local. State, and Federal
agencies will be handled by TOCDF
F-8
1 1 3 12 Cntique of Response and Follow-up
Formal accident investigation will be conducted by the CMA/supporting safety office in
accordance with procedures identified m AR 385-10 Should changes to EDT operations
be required, those changes will be approved by CMA Risk Management Division (RMD),
ECBC Risk Management Office (RMO), and the supporting safety office pnor to
resumption of EDT operations Approval of The Executive Secretary is required pnor to
the resumption of EDT operations
1 2 Worker Population Limit (WPL) Excursion Plan
1 2 1 Purpose of WPL Excursion Plan
The purpose of this plan is to provide information that will be used to investigate, identify,
and control sources of identified excursions of chemical agents above the worker
population limit (WPL) in areas where excursions are not expected during EDT
operations
12 2 Terms
• Worker Population Limit (WPL) The WPL is the maximum allowable 8-hour time-
weighted-average concentration of chemical agent that an unmasked worker could be
exposed to for an 8-hour workday and 40-hour week for 30 years without adverse
effect The agent of concem at the site is mustard (HD) The WPL for HD and HT,
the agents of interest at TOCDF EDT, is 0 0004 mg/m^
• WPL Excursion A WPL excursion is defined as readings above 1 0 WPL that do not
coincide with near real-time (NRT) monitoring greater than or equal to the NRT
alarm level
• WPL Excursion Response This is defined primarily as a medical response when an
airbome concentration of chemical agent is greater than the established WPL It does
not necessitate emergency response or an immediate threat to life, but will result in
direction given by a competent medical authority (TOCDF Clinic or other appropnate
medical support) to determine any health risks or potential adverse effects However,
a WPL excursion greater than the STEL is considered a chemical agent event and
requires that the appropnate emergency response be initiated
12 3 Operating Procedures
12 3 1 Notice of WPL/Emergency Response
If air monitoring results indicate an excursion of chemical agent above the WPL in a
location where an excursion was not expected (that is, outside of engineering controls),
the following steps will be followed
• ECBC will immediately notify EG&G of the WPL excursion
• ECBC will ensure that the area(s) involved in the excursion will be promptly
restricted, transients will be limited, and PPE levels will be increased until the cause
IS evaluated and conected See Appendix F-l for an example of a Notice of
Restnction
• ECBC will notify the EDT Site Manager and provide the
F-9
- Location of excursion,
- Penod of time for excursion,
- Name of agent involved,
- WPL in mg/m\
- Amoimt of excess in mg/m^ ^

2 0 EDT-SPECIFIC TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
The training program is designed to tram experienced EDT operations personnel, site
supervisory personnel, and other site staff in the specific operational charactenstics, processes,
maintenance, and systems nianagement necessary to conduct safe and secure Detonation of
Ammunition in a Vacuum Integrated Chamber (DAVINCH™) EDT operations in a chemical
surety program This will be completed using a combination of classroom instruction and
closely supervised on-the-job traimng (OJT)
The program provides for initial framing for the operators, it does not address recumng training,
since the project is expected to be of short duration However, this plan can be modified to
include post-processing review training and ongoing training requirements if, after the initial
scope of work is completed, additional processing becomes necessary
The EDT-specific training locations will be at the existing ECBC CBARR training facility in
Edgewood, Maryland, at the TOCDF EDT site, and at contractor-provided classroom areas,
which will be provided by EG&G
Included in the training are assessments of each individual's skill and knowledge to determine
that the training program objectives have been met In addition, this training plan provides for
the recording and documentation of training to meet vendor EDT requirements The plan and
subcontractor training records are maintained and available at the EDT Control Room on the
DCD EDT site
2 1 EDT Process Training
2 11 Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this training is to instruct operations supervisors, engineering and maintenance
personnel, and system operators in the operating principles of the DAVfNCH''"'^ and the specific
procedures for its safe and efficient operation General areas covered include operation,
maintenance, monitoring, and engineering concepts related to the operators
The DAVfNCH^'** controlled detonation chamber system is sufficiently different from other
systems with which operators may have had some experience, so an understanding of operational
principles and salient differences is important The DAVfNCH™ System is extensively
monitored in real time for chamber and system mechanical integrity, emission of detonation
product gases, and destruction removal efficiency of chemical warfare agents As safety is of
paramount concem, part of the training will be dedicated to understanding and interpreting any
indication of an upset condition and instructing how to respond quickly and efficiently to such
indicators
2 12 Process Overview and Training Objectives
The DAVINCH^"^ system operation is staffed with operators, monitoring technicians, and
supervisory personnel Objectives are identified as
• D - DCD specific training, OSHA, and site access training,
• C - CPRP Training,
• A - Ammunition and Explosives Handling, and
• O - Operations-/DAVINCH™-specific training, as noted on Figure 1
Overpacked chemical munitions (CSM) are received at the Unpack Area of the EDT site
Trained operators will establish a Temporary Chemical Exclusion Area (T-CEA), clear the box
truck used to transport the mimitions using a Miniature Chemical Agent Monitonng System
(MINICAMS™) to ensure safe first entry into the truck A forklift-trained operator with
ammunition training, CPRP certifications, and OSHA framing, weanng appropnate Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE), moves the pallet or box containing the overpacked mumtions (or
samples) to the Unpack Area There, a team of two operators, one operating the forklift and the
other a safety/surety observer, will move the overpacked munitions to the Preparation Area This
will require that these operators have site-specific safety training, CPRP, OSHA, and
ammunition-handling/explosives training, as well as training on the specifics of installing the
charges
In the preparation area, munitions will be removed from the transport box by a lifter The two
operators will install the linear shaped charges (LSC), donor charges, detonators, and detonation
cord on the munition These operators will be required to have site-specific safety framing,
CPRP, OSHA, and ammumtion-handlmg/explosives training, as well as training on the specifics
of installing the charges
After configuring the munition with the charges, operators will move it to the EDT containment
area on a cart The operators will then raise the explosive-configured munition to the level of the
movable platform This will require that these operators have site-specific safety training, CPRP,
OSHA, and ammunition handling/explosives training, as well as training on the specifics of
lifting the configured mumtion
The entry into the chamber will be a confined-space entry, so OSHA confined-space entry
requirements for training will be met Two operators will enter the chamber, after the exhaust of
the chamber downstream from the particle filter has been monitored clear by MfNICAMS™, for
safe first entry The lifting cart will be positioned on the movable platform by the operators
Three operators will participate in the entry process two for entry and one for safety monitoring
during the confined space entry One operator will operate the movable platform m full view of
the two operators standing adjacent to the platform at the level of the chamber enfrance Once
the munition and lifting cart have been moved into the chamber, the operator will lift the
configured munition until it is horizontally level within the chamber near the top At that point,
an operator will hand-configure the hanging slings to allow the mumtion to hang in place
Specific training will be required for that process

Figure 1 Process Overview and Training Objectives for Operators
After hanging the munition in the chamber, a trained operator will test the continuity of the
detonation cable pass-through, and ensure that the leads are shorted at the EDT Control Room
When completed, a public address system (PA) will be used to relay this information to the EDT
Control Room Once that is validated as safe, the operator will cormect the detonation cord chain
to the leads at the pass-through and then exit the chamber The movable platform will be
withdrawn by the operators These operators will observe the closure of the chamber lid and
then exit the Environmental Enclosure through the personnel decontamination area
The operators injthe Confrol Room will validate that the chamber is clear of personnel and
equipment pnor to closing the lid Once the lid is closed, the Temporary Exclusion Area (TEA)
is maintained at the perimeter of the mam enclosure, and door guards are posted at the control-
point door The EDT will then cycle through its process of evacuation, stabilization, and conect
pressure/vacuum setting Just pnor to detonation sequencing, the EDT control operators will test
the continuity of the explosive lead circuit and attach the detonation tngger mechanism
Once clear, the EDT operators will initiate the detonation sequence, ensunng safe position and
accountability for all operators, observers, and other staff The EDT Control Room will perform
the necessary pre-detonation checks Once all checks have been cleared, the EDT Site Manager
or designee will then indicate that the detonation will occur The PA system will be used to
provide various warnings, followed by a countdown and detonation
Once the chamber has completely cycled through its process, three operators will enter the EDT
containment area in PPE A magnet system will be used to remove ferrous metal fragments
Two more operators will then enter the chamber after the interior of the chamber has been
determined to be safe to enter based on MINICAMS™ results obtained from a sampling location
that IS downstream from the particle filter These operators will manually remove any remaining
waste that might be impeding the operation
Waste materials will be transfened by operators in PPE to the waste container in the chamber
area, and a trained operator will move the waste contamer to the Waste Processing Area for
headspace analysis in drums designed for that purpose The solid waste will be headspace
screened to 0 5 VSL in accordance with procedures The waste storage area of the
Environmental Enclosure will be managed in accordance with 90 day storage area requirements
Operators will screen the extenor of the waste containers to less than 0 2 VSL level and use a
forklift to move the waste, once cleared, to the extenor of the enclosure for pickup by TOCDF
Waste Management operations The waste will then be tumed over to TOCDF Waste
Management personnel who will anange for any additional analyses required and for off-site
disposal
All personnel will then exit via the control point, and the system can either be shut down for
maintenance, or the process can begm for the next shot A maximum of seven shots per day can
be accomplished

Heanng Officer Tom Ball
Ladies and Gentlemen, I call this hearing to order My name is Tom Ball I represent the Utah
Solid and Hazardous Waste Control Board and have been appointed by the Executive Secretary
of the Board to be the heanng officer for this proceeding This hearing is being held under the
authonty of Title 19, Chapter 6, Section 104 of the Utah Code Annotated, 1953 as amended
The Tooele Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (or TOCDF) submitted a Class 3 Permit
Modification request to install and operate an Explosive Destruction Technology or EDT as a
subpart X treatment umt m Area 10 The request proposes to permit an EDT known as the
Detonation of Ammunition in a Vacuum Integrated Chamber or DAVINCH The TOCDF
proposes to use this unit to treat by detonation several 155mm projectiles and 4 2 inch mortars
filled with mustard chemical agent An EDT is being used to treat these munitions because they
cannot be managed using the equipment and processes at the TOCDF due to corrosion and
degradation of the mumtion bodies In addition to the nearly 340 munitions to be treated, the
TOCDF proposes to also treat 47 mustard agent sample contamers These samples were
collected from mustard agent munitions stored at the DCD Due to the configuration in which
these samples are stored the EDT was determined to be the safest method to treat this waste
stream Additionally, during closure activities at the TOCDF a small amount of explosive
matenal has been discovered Because the Deactivation Fumace has been shut down this
material must be treated by the EDT The unit will be located in Area 10 at the DCD and will be
a self contained unit consisting of a detonation chamber and pollution abatement system Area
10 IS adjacent to the TOCDF facility
The Executive Secretary of the Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Control Board has created draft
permit conditions and a destruction plan in accordance with the Utah Hazardous Waste
Management Rules These proposed language changes to the TOCDF Part B Permit and the
destruction plan documents are currently open for review The purpose of this hearing is to
