Thermal Treatment Demilitarization Systems Environmental Compliance Support

Performance Work Statement

1.0 INTRODUCTION. The Product Director for Demilitarization (PD Demil) mission is to demilitarize the stockpile of excess, obsolete, and unserviceable conventional ammunition. One key method of demilitarization (demil) is the use of thermal treatment systems to include rotary kiln incinerators (RKIs). The Joint Munitions Command (JMC) supports the demil mission by managing the demil stockpile and associated demilitarization activities, including open burning/open detonation (OB/OD), RKI operations and other closed thermal treatment systems.

The Army’s RKIs are considered a Hazardous Waste Combustor (HWC) under the Clean Air

Act (CAA). Operations of the furnace are regulated under the National Emission Standards for

Hazardous Air Pollutants for Hazardous Waste Combustors (HWC NESHAP). Hazardous

Waste Combustors are also regulated by the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act

(RCRA). Federal regulations require extensive permitting and testing to establish and demonstrate compliance with CAA HWC NESHAP emission limitations and operating requirements which are outlined in 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart EEE. The Army Combat

Capabilities Development Command – Armaments Center (CCDC-AC) also supports the demil mission by developing new or improving existing demil technologies, including thermal treatment systems. As the OB/OD mission has come under increasing scrutiny and environmental restrictions, CCDC – AC has been developing new technologies to increase the capacity of the RKIs and to provide alternate technologies to demil munitions to reduce the reliance on OB/OD. These technologies require permitting and testing to not only prove the efficiency of the system but also to demonstrate that they meet all required environmental and public health standards. PD Demil and JMC are also investigating emplacing one or more Static

Denotation Chambers (SDCs) at organic depots to support closed disposal of munitions.

Services could be needed at JMC Depots or other testing facilities including the following: Crane

Army Ammunition Activity in Crane, IN, McAlester Army Ammunition Plant in McAlester, OK, Tooele Army Depot in Toole County, UT, Anniston Munitions Center in Bynum, AL, Letterkenny Army Depot in Chambersburg, PA, Hawthorne Army Depot in Hawthorne, NV, Blue Grass Army Depot, KY, Aberdeen Proving Ground in Aberdeen, MD, and the Energetic

Materials Research and Testing Center, Socorro, NM.

1.1 All work under this effort is subject to periodic inspection and on-the-spot performance assessment. All work completed under this contract shall be in accordance with the regulations listed in paragraph 1.0, all federal, state, and local laws and regulations, and Department of

Defense (DoD) 4145.26 dated 13 March 2008 to include change 2 that was incorporated 31

August 2018. All performance assessments and periodic inspection results shall be supplied in writing and shall describe the positive, neutral, negative results or determination. In the event the

Contractor is found to have failed to comply with contract requirements, corrective action shall be initiated. The corrective action process shall be governed by the applicable rules and regulations administered by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). Minor issues will normally be handled onsite with a corrective action report being issued at the discretion of the

COR. For more serious issues and unresolved minor issues (to include repetitive minor problems) the COR may issue the Contractor a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR) through the

Contracting Officer (KO). The KO shall present the CDR to the Contractor with instructions.

The Government reserves the right to seek consideration in the event of unresolved contract discrepancies and serious incidents impacting the effort.
