Certification and verification is required for all material removed from the range. EOD personnel will be available from 0730-1600 hours weekdays (except on Federal holidays) to ensure only MDAS is released to the disposal agent/public.

(7) Provide for quality control/assurance inspection, certification, and venting (where applicable) by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Ordnance Disposal/Safety) or similarly technically qualified personnel in accordance with Reference 2.2.

(8) Provide EOD/Quality Assurance Specialist Ammunition Safety (QASAS) personnel and RPO for purposes of re-inspection at the designated disposal inspection/pick up area to re-certify range residue material identified/certified as MDAS prior to the property being loaded into the disposal agent’s conveyance.

(9) In coordination with the DLADS Demilitarization Coordinator, identify material that requires mutilation/demilitarization and the appropriate methods of mutilation/demilitarization.

Segregate mutilation/demilitarization required property from non-mutilation/non-demilitarization required property, and provide qualified personnel to certify and verify mutilation/demilitarization has been accomplished in accordance with Reference 2.2. The Generator will comply with the “two-man rule” for all certifications, meaning that both the Generator and the Certifier will agree on all decisions regarding this process and whether they were accomplished properly when moving through all steps.

(10) Ensure that all demilitarization, declassification, and mutilation are accomplished prior to referral to DLADS Misawa and release of MDAS material to the disposal agent. For property that has been demilitarized during the collection process, provide a demilitarization certificate at the time of referral.

(11) Provide qualified personnel to certify range residue contains no hazardous or radioactive residue and ensure that all material is checked prior to being loaded into the disposal agent’s conveyance and released from DoD control. Each load will be certified as radiation checked and free of hazardous radioactive residue.

(12) Provide EOD escort service during the hours of inspection and/or removal.

(13) Prepare and sign a DD Form 1348-1A, Issue Release/Receipt Document, (containing the appropriate radiation check, safe/inert, demilitarization, and declassification certifications) for each load of MDAS certified material removed from Draughon Range.

(14) Be responsible for re-inspection, re-certification, retrieval, accountability and custody of material which has been identified as containing live or suspected live ordnance, classified material, and/or hazardous/radioactive material before and after removal.

(15) Provide prior to the removal of any material, local EOD, or other qualified individuals who will give a briefing to the disposal agent and DLADS personnel regarding the types of ordnance being disposed of, recognition, and identification of associated hazards and response/actions to be taken (including written procedures to be followed) in the event that live or suspected Material Potentially Presenting an Explosive Hazard (MPPEH), and/or hazardous/radioactive residue is discovered either during or after removal. An illustrative guide of the ordnance, including explosive color-coding, will be provided to the disposal agent.

Disposition will be made in accordance with Reference 2.2.

(16) Provide a list of the personnel and their sample signatures that are technically qualified and authorized to inspect, certify, and verify MPPEH residue, range residue, and Explosive Contaminated Property (ECP). This list will identify certifiers and verifiers who will sign the demilitarization certificates and the MPPEH inert certificates required by this Agreement.

(17) Have MDAS mutilated and made unfit for its intended purpose by CUTTING, TEARING, SCRATCHING, CRUSHING, BREAKING, PUNCHING, SHEARING, BURNING, SMELTING, OR NEUTRALIZING THE ITEM TO THE POINT THAT THERE

ARE NO USABLE PARTS REMAINING.

(18) Provide a certification that the material has been mutilated to the point that there are no usable parts remaining and that it has been made unfit for its intended purpose. The mutilation certification must be signed by the U. S. Government representative-witness after mutilation has been completed and prior to referral to DLADS Misawa.

(19) Provide for disposal only Range Residue that is Category 5X which is defined as item(s) that are completely decontaminated and entirely safe and may be released for general use provided that:

(a) All demilitarization requirements for the item are met.
