PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

FOR

Professional Engineering Certification of the Munitions Assessment and Processing System Facility

1.0 SCOPE. The Munitions Assessment and Processing System (MAPS) at Aberdeen Proving Ground

(APG), Maryland, Building E1457, requires a professional engineering certification to certify the system’s containment building was built to the design and operating standards of Code of Maryland

Regulations 26.13.05.18, .18-1 and .18-2. The MAPS is a Resource Conservation Act (RCRA) facility

Permitted for the treatment and storage of hazardous waste. The MAPS facility is a multi-component technology designed to drill, drain, decontaminate and detonate waste chemical munitions and other similar items. The facility includes a tank system to move and store hazardous wastes and various engineering controls.

1.1 Background. The MAPS is comprised of gloveboxes for munition unpacking, monitoring and decontamination, an Explosive Containment Chamber (ECC) for contained drilling (accessing) and draining of chemical fill operations for the enclosed detonation of emptied and surface decontaminated munition carcasses containing explosive bursting charges and/or fuzing. All related equipment including the tank system is within the facility’s zone of engineering control and is regulated as “miscellaneous units” under COMAR 26.13.05.16-1. The system’s equipment and operations are subject to performance standards and limitations given in permits issued by the State of Maryland and the U.S. EPA.

1.2 Objective. The objective of this requirement is to provide CCDC Chemical Biological Center

(CBC) with a professional engineering certification stating the MAPS facility meets all COMAR requirements to manage hazardous wastes. Failure to secure and successfully acquire a professional engineering certification will initiate an immediate shut down and closing of the facility and may lead to significant fines from the regulatory agencies.
