CONTINGENCY PLAN AND EQUIPMENT LIST

1.0 General Information
This Attachment describes the emergency response capabilities of the UTTR-North to deal with
accidents or incidents at the TTU. This section was prepared by extracting the contingency
planning portions of individual EOD operating instructions (OIs) used at the TTU, together with
portions of TO 11A-1-42, General Instructions for Disposal of Conventional Munitions. See
Attachment 6, Table 2 for a more detailed description of these and other publications.

2.0 Purpose
This contingency plan is designed to minimize hazards to human health and the environment
from fires and explosions that are not authorized by this permit, or any unplanned sudden or non-
sudden release of hazardous waste to the air, soil, or groundwater at the TTU. Provisions of this
plan will be carried out immediately whenever there is a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous
waste that could threaten human health or the environment.
The UDEQ DWMRC requires that copies of this plan be:
● Maintained at the 75th Range Squadron (Oasis) emergency response command and
control centers;
● Available to the public upon request; and
● Submitted to local law enforcement agencies, fire departments, and hospitals that may be
called upon to provide emergency services in the event of an accident or incident at the
TTU.

3.0 Revisions
This plan will be amended or replaced, as required, in the event:
● The RCRA permit is revised;
● The plan fails in an exercise, evaluation, inspection, or actual emergency;
● Changes occur in the design, construction, operation, or maintenance of activities requiring
emergency response procedures;
● Changes are made to the list of available emergency equipment; or
● Significant changes take place in the UTTR support structures.
4.0 General Facility Description
The TTU is located within the UTTR-North, located approximately 20 miles north of Exit 62 off
Interstate 80. The UTTR-North and the UTTR-South cover 1,500 square miles of northwestern
Utah. The TTU lies beside Box Elder County Road 02230, approximately 5 miles northeast of
Oasis, the home of the 75th Range Squadron, and 6 miles south of the Union Pacific Railroad
work site

at Lakeside. It is fenced and accessed by seven gates surrounding the facility. All gates are
locked except when the TTU is operational or being inspected.
4.1 Treatment Sites
Four treatment sites are located within the TTU area. Each is under the operational command
and control of teams from the 75th Civil Engineer Group, 775 Civil Engineering Squadron, EOD
Flight, at Hill AFB. EOD teams are assigned rotating duties at the TTU.
● Site 1, a solid propellant OB pad, is located in the northeast section of the TTU. It consists of
a cleared and graded area with dimensions approximately 300 ft north to south by 400 ft east
to west. The surface of the site is graveled and accessible by vehicle.
● Site 2, the large rocket motor detonation area, contains four OB and OD pads. It is located in
the east central portion of the TTU. It contains an upper area with three separate gravel pads
connected by a series of gravel-covered roads, which provide access from all points within
the TTU. The pads are used as staging areas for the OD of high explosive munitions and the
OB of large rocket motors. These operations are carried out on the ground surface in the
undeveloped areas immediately west of the pads. It also contains a large lower area that is
the primary OD area for large rocket motors within the TTU.
● Site 3, the small munitions burn pan, was decommissioned and partially closed in 2018. The
concrete containment box, which previously contained the burn pan, remains at the site.
● Site 4, a solid propellant OB pad, is located in the southern section of the TTU. It consists of
a cleared and graded area with dimensions approximately 385 ft north to south by 325 ft east
to west. The surface of the site is graveled and accessible by vehicle.

5.0 Classification of Wastes
Various kinds of reactive wastes (EPA Hazardous Waste Code D003), such as explosives,
propellants, and various munitions are treated at the TTU. The facility does not treat nuclear
waste, chemical or biological agents, or exotic fuels.

6.0 Emergency Coordinators [UAC R315-264-52(d) and R315-264-55]
6.1 Oasis Emergency Coordinators
Because of the nature of waste munitions treatment activities occurring at the UTTR-North TTU,
accidents or incidents of any kind require an emergency response with sufficient resources to
ensure the situation is brought under control and damage to persons or property is minimized to
the maximum extent possible. Each emergency response must be tailored to the severity and type
of accident or incident. This assessment of the type and severity of the accident or incident, and
the application of necessary resources, is the responsibility of the Incident Commander (IC).
During response operations, the IC: directs all actions necessary to mitigate damage, save lives,
restore primary mission assets, and assist civil authorities; provides incident command and
control of deployed elements; determines the status of operations; serves as the senior military
representative until recovery operations are complete or until relieved by a higher authority or
responsible agency; coordinates military activities with civil authorities, as required; establishes
Utah Test and Training Range
Attachment 7 – Contingency Plan and Equipment List
Issued DRAFT
7-5

communication with the nearest military installation; controls access to the accident or incident
site; identifies authorized people to security forces; with the advice of the staff judge advocate,
directs the establishment of national defense areas, relaying this information to the Hill AFB
command post and responding control group members; directs the establishment of incident
control and initial monitoring points, if required; releases information about the emergency
response operation; coordinates required support for Hill AFB response elements deployed to the
scene; assesses the threat of terrorists or potential protesters to response resources at the accident
or incident scene; and works with mishap and accident or incident investigation boards.
The IC will assume (or be appointed to) the role of IC because of their position, special
qualifications, and experience. Table 1 shows emergency coordinators that may assume (or be
appointed to) the position of IC.
Regardless of who is appointed, the IC is in charge of all mishap activities at the TTU and will
take immediate steps to coordinate emergency response measures. The IC has authority to
commit the resources necessary to carry out this contingency plan. The IC will be responsible
for ensuring the emergency procedures outlined in the R315-264-50 are followed.
6.1.1 Oasis Emergency Response Team Structure
In the event of an emergency at the TTU, the IC will request the assistance of the Oasis Security
Police dispatcher via either the UHF or VHF radio network or cellular telephone. The dispatcher
maintains a list of critical personnel and phone numbers. Depending on the nature of the
emergency, the IC will request assistance from all or a portion of the emergency support
personnel listed in Table 2, as the situation dictates.
6.2 Emergency Plan Implementation [UAC R315-264-52(a) and R315-264-56(d)]
This contingency plan will be implemented by the IC in the event of an imminent or actual
emergency situation involving hazardous waste that could threaten human health or the
environment. Any of the following situations would dictate automatic implementation of
this plan:
● Any uncontrolled or unusual fire or explosion in the TTU; and
● Spills or releases accompanied by:
− Imminent danger of fire or explosion;
− Release of toxic fumes;
− Evidence of hazardous material migration toward groundwater; or
− Release of hazardous material off of the TTU.
6.3 Emergency Response Procedures [UAC R315-264-56]
EOD teams conduct each disposal operation using OIs prepared specifically for that operation.
Although OIs are primarily designed to break down an operation into a list of tasks, safety
precautions and warnings associated with each task are included as an integral part of each OI.

Utah Test and Training Range
Attachment 7 – Contingency Plan and Equipment List

7-6

Should an emergency arise in the course of treatment operations at the TTU, EOD personnel can
use the radio network or cellular telephone to immediately summon the Oasis Security Police,
ambulance, Fire Department, or safety manager. Emergency helicopter transport can also be
arranged through the Security Police dispatcher or the Hill Range Controller.
Emergency response procedures include, as a minimum:
● Notifying on-base and off-base authorities, as required;
● Identifying release or spill;
● Assessing the situation;
● Controlling the accident/incident scene;
● Preventing fire, explosion, or release;
● Collecting, storing, and treating released material, as required;
● Managing incompatible wastes;
● Maintaining emergency equipment; and
● Managing spills and leaks from containers.
7.0 Notification [UAC R315-264-56(a)]
7.1 Initial Report
Anyone discovering a release, fire, or explosion, not authorized by this permit, will report the
finding to the Oasis Security Police dispatcher. Dispatchers will notify the Fire Department and
provide the following information. The person reporting should not wait until all information on
the accident or incident is collected; instead, the person should report information as it becomes
available. The following is a list of the minimum information required in a report:
● Name and telephone number of the individual reporting the event;
● Number of injured personnel, type of injuries, and action taken, if applicable;
● Time and apparent cause of fire or explosion;
● Name of the material involved in a fire or explosion, if known;
● Location of the fire or explosion;
● Estimated size, speed, and direction of spread of any explosions or fires;
● Any actions taken to mitigate the emergency and their effectiveness;
● Magnitude of the situation and the potential for fire or explosion;
● Intensity of the fire or explosion, if applicable; and

● Size and direction of the smoke or vapor plume, if applicable.

7-7

7.2 Off-Duty Notification
During off-duty hours, procedures will remain the same; emergency situations should be
reported to the Oasis Security Police Dispatcher, who in turn will notify the appropriate recall
roster members for initial response activities. In this situation, the Oasis Security Police is
responsible for identifying and briefing the appropriate IC.
7.3 Notification of Necessary State, Local, Air Force, and Other Agencies
During an emergency, 75 CEG/CEIE will notify through whatever means possible the
appropriate outside agencies listed in Table 3.
The following information shall be provided to the appropriate agencies listed in Table 3:
● Name and location of the TTU;
● 75th Range Squadron Commander name and telephone number;
● Date and time of the incident or time of its discovery;
● Severity of the incident [specify the size of the release or fire (major, medium, minor), if
any];
● Location of the incident and the specific area affected by the release or fire;
● Cause and source of the incident;
● Type and estimated amount (barrels, pounds, etc.) of pollutants;
● Whether samples have been taken (yes or no);
● Damage to surroundings (wildlife, groundwater, etc.);
● Potential dangers (fire, explosion, toxic vapor, etc.);
● Corrective action to eliminate the pollution source;
● Corrective action to remove the pollutant;
● Assistance required; and
● Estimated completion date of remedial actions.
8.0 Identification of Hazardous Materials [UAC R315-264-56(b)]
The character of released wastes can be identified by the EOD team chief or determined by
waste manifests maintained at Oasis. In the event containers involved in the fire or explosion
cannot be identified, a worst-case scenario will be assumed by the IC, and commensurate
response procedures will be initiated. Table 4 lists a few example scenarios and suggested
corresponding responses. Note, however, the IC should gather as many facts as possible and
consult with the appropriate response specialist before executing any response.

Attachment 7 – Contingency Plan and Equipment List
Issued DRAFT
7-8

9.0 Assessment [UAC R315-264-56(c) and R315-264-56(d)]
The IC, in consultation with EOD and Range Safety personnel, will assess potential hazards to
human health and the environment from any release of hazardous waste, fire, or explosion. In the
case of reactive wastes, the criteria will be the quantity of explosives present and the distance
between them and affected personnel. The assessment will determine whether the response team
should notify the support groups and appropriate local, state, and federal authorities.

10.0 Control Procedures [UAC R315-264-52(a)]
10.1 General Procedures
The initial response to any incident will be to protect personnel, limit movement of released
material, and if practicable, control the source. Immediate action procedures may include
establishing fire breaks, isolating leaking containers, or installing a barrier (e.g., sandbags or
absorbents) to limit material movement. In all cases, the site of the hazard will be secured to
limit access to qualified personnel involved in response procedures.
All EOD and contractor personnel are required to carry two-way radios when carrying out TTU
operations. The radio communication enables base security to instruct EOD and contractor
personnel out of the TTU should an emergency situation arise.
10.2 On-Site Emergencies
During thermal treatment of munitions at the TTU, access to the area around the TTU is
controlled and the entire operation is executed from a safe distance. Explosives are initiated
using either long lead time, time-delay ignition, or encrypted radio signals transmitted from the
withdrawal point. Most of the treated material remains onsite, the exception being casing
fragments that are often propelled great distances.
The most likely emergency to arise at the TTU would be injuries sustained during the cleanup
phase of the operations, the result of missteps on uneven ground, or cuts from sharp casing
fragments. Another potential emergency could result from TTU kick outs initiating wildlands
(grass) fires. There is also the remote possibility of an unplanned detonation or burning of
untreated ordnance occurring while EOD personnel are at the TTU.
In the event of injury to personnel, all operations will cease and the IC will immediately notify
the emergency response team needed to extract the injured/casualties and to limit danger to other
personnel. The IC may also direct evacuation of the site. Consultation between the Oasis
independent medical technician and the Hill AFB emergency room will establish whether air
medical evacuation or support is required. If so, the injured personnel would be transported via
helicopter to the HAFB hospital or a hospital in Salt Lake City.
In order to reduce the possibility of a range fire and limit the extent of any fire started by kick
outs, certain standard procedures are followed. A series of fire breaks have been cut to encircle
the entire TTU area. Further, the Oasis Fire Department is notified during all OB/OD operations
Utah Test and Training Range
Attachment 7 – Contingency Plan and Equipment List
Issued DRAFT
7-9

and remains on standby status at Oasis until the operation is designated as complete by the EOD
team chief.
In the event of an uncontrolled fire at the site, the IC will immediately notify the Oasis Fire
Department. Since the Fire Department is either already on scene (for large OB events) or
standing by at Oasis (located less than 7 miles away from the TTU), the response time is less
than ten minutes. The only hazard to personnel from a range fire is from the fire itself. If, in the
opinion of the IC, the fire cannot be controlled by the Oasis Fire Department, the BLM and/or
HAFB Fire Departments will be notified for aid. In addition, the Utah Highway Patrol (UHP)
will be notified of the fire and kept informed of any possible danger to the public. The TTU site
is remote, and even if a fire spreads beyond the immediate sites, there is little threat to human
health or facilities outside the UTTR-North.
Special consideration must be given to fires involving untreated explosives at the TTU. Once the
fire is extinguished and the remaining explosives have had sufficient time to cool and stabilize,
EOD teams will reenter the area. They will assess the damage, identify the remaining untreated
explosives, and formulate a plan to render them safe. These items may be treated on-site if they
are too unstable to move or may be relocated to one of the TTU sites for further treatment. Solid
and hazardous waste residue from this treatment process, together with residue from ordnance
consumed in the uncontrolled fire, will be collected and managed in accordance with the residue
management plan outlined in Attachment 3.
The IC will determine when the emergency situation has passed and no longer presents a danger
to personnel and the environment. Additional instructions on maintaining the security of the
wastes and preventing a recurrence will be passed on to responsible support groups (e.g.,
Security Police) by the IC. Operations in the affected area will not be resumed until all cleanup
activities, including emergency equipment decontamination, are completed.
AF mishaps are formally investigated by an individual and/or team of experts, with a responsible
person designated by a senior or general officer. A formal safety report is prepared, with
primary, secondary, any other causes, and "lessons learned" being addressed.
10.3 Off-Site Emergencies
The DoD has agreements with local law enforcement agencies that, in the event of an emergency
involving government explosives, the nearest DoD installation will be contacted to dispatch an
EOD team together with other supporting teams, as required. The ranking local official can
continue to act as IC or may relinquish command to the EOD team chief or accompanying senior
DoD official. The IC will assess the situation and determine which of the following actions has
priority:
● Shut down the facility;
● Evacuate affected personnel;
● Initiate containment and mitigation;
● Limit access to a prescribed area until Security Police arrive; and

● Safeguard inventories, plans, graphs, and other site records.

Utah Test and Training Range

7-10

In the event of a road accident involving explosives, extreme care must be exercised until the
arriving EOD team has assessed the situation and either applied render-safe procedures (RSPs)
or declared the emergency terminated. As a minimum, traffic should be routed around the
accident and non-essential personnel withdrawn according to Table 5. The IC will, through the
Oasis Safety Office, determine minimum withdrawal distances for essential personnel. When
accidents occur and there is no fire, the IC will determine whether to implement withdrawal
criteria.

11.0 Prevention of Recurrence or Spread of Fires, Explosions, or Releases
[UAC R315-264-56(e)]
All operations near a hazardous waste spill, fire, or uncontrolled explosion site will be suspended
until resumption is authorized by the IC. The Oasis Fire Department will also be present to
monitor and control potential fires or explosions during containment and cleanup operations.
A joint review of the cause of the spill will be conducted by the IC and appropriate Oasis and
Hill AFB officials. The operation causing the spill will not be restarted until adequate corrective
and preventive measures have been developed and implemented.
Any spill that necessitates implementation of this contingency plan will be followed with a
report written jointly by the final IC and an inspection committee. Its purpose is to formalize
their review of the incident and direct required follow-up actions.
Fire breaks (a minimum of 15 ft wide) follow the perimeter and crisscross the TTU as shown in
Figure 2, Attachment 1. The firebreaks are designed to control potential fires that may occur
during TTU operations. They are maintained annually. Fire breaks also serve as emergency
egress routes for personnel operating any of the TTU Sites.

12.0 Storage and Treatment of Released Material [UAC R315-264-56(g)]
Following containment and control of the emergency, the IC will:
● Direct action to collect, treat, and dispose of explosive and non-explosive waste or other
materials, as appropriate. This should be a joint operation involving EOD personnel, fire
fighters, the Bioenvironmental Engineer, the Oasis Safety Office, and outside contractors, as
applicable.
● Ensure the safety board is provided access to all relevant information and materials.
● Ensure proper site restoration activities begin as soon as possible after required
decontamination procedures are complete. All decontamination activities should be
documented, with the records maintained for the life of the TTU.
● Ensure equipment repaired or replaced as a result of the incident is re-certified, as
necessary, prior to reuse.
Utah Test and Training Range
Attachment 7 – Contingency Plan and Equipment List
Issued DRAFT
7-11

All personnel involved in corrective actions will be provided with protective clothing and
equipment commensurate with the magnitude and type of waste spill. Special precautions where
flammable materials are involved will include the use of non-sparking tools and removal of all
potential ignition sources from the immediate and adjacent work area.
13.0 Incompatible Wastes [UAC R315-264-56(h)(1)]
Wastes are recovered, drummed, stored, treated, and/or disposed of by type, keeping individual
waste streams segregated. For example, ordnance fragments and related debris are collected and
inspected in accordance with TO 11A-1-60, Inspection of Reusable Munitions Containers and
Scrap Material Generated from Items Exposed to or Containing Explosives. Once determined to
be free of the presence of explosive residue, they are placed in a roll-away dump truck bed, or
other suitable item, for transport to a recycle center or solid waste landfill, as required.
Explosive residue and ash, on the other hand, are managed differently. The explosive residue is
either re-treated immediately on-site or held for treatment the next day. Hazardous or
uncharacterized ash is collected in drums for sampling and analysis to determine the presence of
hazardous constituents. Nonhazardous ash is disposed of as solid waste.
None of the re-treatment, storage, or sampling activities occur until cleanup activities are
completed. This prevents incompatible waste from being treated, stored, or located in the
affected area.

14.0 Post-Emergency Equipment Maintenance [UAC R315-264-56(h)(2)]
Any tools or equipment used to control, contain, or otherwise mitigate the release of hazardous
materials during the emergency will be cleaned of all solid and liquid hazardous material and/or
debris before being released from the TTU. Cleaning will be accomplished using whatever
means are necessary (e.g., using brooms to remove ash and dry solids and pressurized water to
remove mud or other caked-on material).
Decontamination will occur at a site within the TTU where the ash or run-off can be captured
and contained for sampling and analysis. Equipment will not be released from the TTU until
each is cleaned and determined fit for its intended use. Likewise, the TTU will not be returned to
operational status until equipment cleaning and cleaning residue recovery operations occur.

15.0 Spills and Leakage from Containers [UAC R315-264-52 and R315-264-171]
The only containerized waste at the TTU is residual soil and ash stored in 55-gal drums that is
either uncharacterized or known to be hazardous. These are collected after OB treatment
activities and are stored at the TTU while awaiting shipment or pending the outcome of sampling
and analysis. In the event of an accidental spill or leak from these containers, personnel have the
training and on-site tools or equipment needed to stop or contain the spill or leak. These include
drum handling tools, unused barrels into which the remaining ash can be transferred, and
miscellaneous cleaning tools such as brooms and shovels to collect the ash.

7-12

16.0 Emergency Equipment [UAC R315-264-52(e) and R315-264-56(h)(2)]
Due to the nature of materials handled at the TTU, the 75th Range Squadron maintains a full
complement of equipment at Oasis suitable for emergency response, such as:
● Fire extinguishers;
● Fire-fighting equipment;
● Fire/pump truck;
● Self-contained positive pressure respirators;
● Protective equipment suits for each firefighter, including hood helmets;
● Hand tools (shovels, picks, etc.);
● First aid equipment;
● Ambulance unit; and
● Heavy equipment, such as:
− Dump trucks
− Front-end loaders
− Graders
− Bulldozers
− Backhoe

The equipment is maintained at the Oasis compound, deploying to the TTU only upon request or
during fire-fighting emergencies. Annual controlled burns are performed around the TTU
operational area to clear brush and other vegetation. The burn area is bounded by fire breaks.

Emergency equipment is maintained and serviced according to the manufacturer's
recommendations. The fire-fighting equipment present at Oasis is subjected to a rigorous
maintenance program overseen by the Fire Department. All emergency equipment shall be
cleaned and fit for its intended use before operations or use of equipment resumes.

All other mechanical equipment is kept in operating condition as required by AF Operating
Instructions and checklists.

17.0 Coordination Agreements [UAC R315-264-52(c) and R315-264-37]
The Oasis Security Police Department has a mutual assistance agreement with the UHP.
Likewise, the Oasis Fire Department has a mutual aid fire-fighting agreement with the BLM.
Copies of these agreements are maintained at their respective offices.
The independent medical technician on-site at Oasis is capable of constant communication with
staff members at the Tooele County Hospital. If necessary, emergency ambulance services can
be provided by civilian helicopters from hospitals in Salt Lake City

18.0 Evacuation Plan [UAC R315-264-52(f)]
The TTU operations team chief will identify to team members during the pre-operation safety
briefing the available egress routes and designated assembly point(s) to be used should TTU
evacuation be necessary during the upcoming operation (see Figure 1 for evacuation route
options). If an accident or incident in the TTU requires evacuation, the IC will notify teams and
other personnel in the TTU either by voice, radio, and/or vehicle loudspeaker or siren. The
evacuation order will affect all personnel, whether operational, support, standby, or visitors. The
pre-selected evacuation routes and assembly point(s) will be used. The order will be relayed to
the Oasis Security Police by radio or cellular telephone. Once re-assembled, team chiefs will
account for their team members and all others present at the TTU at the time of the evacuation.

19.0 Required Reports [UAC R315-264-56(i)]
19.1 Initial Incident Reports
Any incident requiring this contingency plan to be implemented will be reported immediately to
the Utah DSHW, EPA Region VIII, the EPA National Response Center, and through command
