About this file

This document is an attachment containing Closed-Loop Range Management (CATM) Range Servicing Guidelines for a federal facility, likely at Kadena Air Base, Japan. The guidelines establish comprehensive procedures for maintaining and servicing an indoor firing range system, including safety protocols, equipment maintenance, waste handling, and environmental compliance.

The servicing guidelines cover six primary maintenance tasks: (1) pre-servicing safety procedures requiring lockout/tagout of electrical systems and ventilation fans; (2) intake filter cleaning and replacement involving 18 slide-in filters per system with pressure washing and inspection; (3) range exhaust filter replacement of 24 HEPA filters in a 6-by-4 matrix configuration with lead dust containment procedures; (4) bullet/debris bucket cleaning and emptying into UN-rated 55-gallon drums with strict weight limitations (maximum 90% of rating and 800 pounds total per drum); (5) shooter's slab and range slab cleaning requiring minimum two cleaning cycles for the shooter's slab and one for the range slab using HEPA vacuuming and damp mopping; and (6) post-servicing system reconfiguration restoring all electrical systems to operational status. All procedures mandate Competent Person oversight, lead contamination prevention through wet methods and HEPA filtration, waste characterization via accredited laboratory analysis, and compliance with Japanese Environmental Guidance Standards (JEGS) and environmental regulations. Waste disposal requires delivery to the 718 Civil Engineer Squadron Hazardous Waste Storage Area with inert certifications for bullet debris and manifests for regulated waste, with final payment withheld until proper documentation is submitted.
