Prevention Program Description:

Hypergolic Storage Facility (Fuel Site - 976) This Prevention Program complies with OSHA Standard 1910.119, Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals (PSM). The PSM was implemented at this site on 08/27/1993. The site was inspected by Prima Tech on 05/15-17/1995 and the site was found to be in conformance with the PSM Standard. The site operator holds routine weekly and monthly meetings to monitor PSM compliance. In addition to the PSM Standard, this site is maintained in accordance with Air Force Space Command Manual (AFSPCMAN) 91-710, Range Safety User Requirements Manual, Certified Current 02 December 2016.

This controlling Air Force document establishes criteria for the operation of rocket propellant storage and support facilities. The site is inspected annually by Air Force Safety officials.

The operator of the site, the United Paradyne Corporation, also performs daily inspections and effects maintenance in accordance with a Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) approved inspection and maintenance plan. Site compliance with APCD permit requirements is checked on an annual basis. In accordance with the California Accidental Release Prevention (CalARP) Program, an assessment of the seismic integrity of this facility was performed on 12 March 2018 by a California licensed Professional Engineer

Executive Summary

Vandenberg Air Force Base (AFB) is the third largest Air Force installation in the nation encompassing over 99,579 acres in Santa Barbara County, California. Because of its geography, this installation provides America with a unique location from which it can place satellites into polar orbit without overflying populated areas during the launch phase. This mission--which is crucial to national security as well as the burgeoning interest in communications, land resources surveillance, and space research--is dependent on the continued launching of an array of space boosters. In addition, Vandenberg AFB conducts test launches involving Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and also manages the Western Range--a vast network of radar, telemetry, and optical sensors stretching across the Pacific Ocean--in which all three services conduct a variety of aeronautical and missile flight activities. The host unit on Vandenberg AFB is the 30th Space Wing.

While Vandenberg AFB comprises 620 maintained buildings and structures plus 999 family residences for military personnel, only 15 percent of its total area is developed. The remainder provides the buffer needed to preclude encroachment by local development and to protect outlying communities from launch anomalies and associated operational hazards. Restrictive easements limiting development on adjacent private land further reduces any potential risk to the public.

Significantly, over the last 57 years, approximately 2000 launches of space boosters and ICBMs have been conducted at Vandenberg AFB, and there is no known instance of serious injury or death to anyone in the surrounding communities due to the launches themselves or to supporting operations.

With this submittal, Vandenberg AFB is making a conscientious effort to fully comply with Section 112r of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 as implemented by the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 68 (40 CFR 68), as well as with the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 19, Division 2, Chapter 4.5, California Accidental Release Prevention (CalARP) Program. The format developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for this submittal is generally oriented towards stationary sources that differ significantly from Vandenberg AFB in terms of physical complexity, emergency response capability, and organizational make-up. Accordingly, additional detail and clarification are incorporated in this Executive Summary to provide the public a clearer, more complete insight into the scope and effectiveness of Vandenberg AFB's accidental release prevention and emergency response programs.

Scope of the Vandenberg AFB Risk Management Plan

This Risk Management Plan (RMP) includes all covered processes within the borders of Vandenberg AFB that are subject to Department of the Air Force oversight and control. Under the Commercial Space Act, excess facilities on the base may be leased by private entities to conduct commercial activities that are not under the purview of the Department of the Air Force. Compliance with EPA RMP and CalARP requirements for covered processes that solely support such commercial activities is the responsibility of the respective commercial owner and operator;

therefore, any such covered processes are not encompassed by this RMP.

This RMP includes one process in which the EPA threshold of a regulated toxic or flammable substance is exceeded--the Hypergolic Storage Facility. This facility stores and handles the regulated toxics 1,1 dimethylhydrazine (UDMH), hydrazine, and methyl hydrazine. The largest quantities of UDMH and hydrazine occur in an approximately one-to-one mixture of the two typically referred to as Aerozine 50. In addition, the Hypergolic Storage Facility is used to store significant quantities of the toxic nitrogen tetroxide, which is included in this Risk Management Plan in accordance with the General Duty Clause: Section 112(r)(1) of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990.

Emergency Response Program

The Air Force Incident Management System (AFIMS) is based on National Incident Management System (NIMS) methodology and aligns Air Force emergency management planning and response with the National Response Framework (NRF) as required by Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5 and as described in Air Force Instruction 10-2501 Emergency Management (EM) Program Planning and Operations. The implementation of the AFIMS on Vandenberg AFB is detailed in the 30th SW Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP 10-2).

Vandenberg AFB possesses significant emergency response capabilities including its own Fire Department, Disaster Response Force, and Security Police Force, in addition to contracted support for handling accidental releases of regulated hypergolic propellants and other hazardous substances.

The Vandenberg AFB Fire Department, 30 CES/CEF, is the "local agency" that responds as First

RMP*eSubmit Page 17

100000064431

Responder at the Technician Level to an accidental release of hazardous materials on the base.

This Fire Department comprises some 100 firefighters who staff five fire stations strategically positioned across the base. One fire station is located within a three-minute response time of the Hypergolic Storage Facility. This Fire Department includes a 5-person "Hot Shot" crew that is specially trained to respond to wildland fires.

The Vandenberg AFB Fire Department is fully compliant with National Fire Protection Agency standards and has mutual aid agreements with Santa Barbara County, the City of Lompoc, the City of Santa Maria, the California Forestry Department, and the Los Padres National Forest. The base Fire Department maintains a regular schedule of onsite facility inspections to identify potentially hazardous conditions to include conditions which could lead to an accidental release of a hazardous material. It should be noted that the Vandenberg AFB Fire Department is advised of all operations involving the transfer of hypergolic propellants which comprise the regulated substances at the Hypergolic Storage Facility. During launch operations, Fire Department response elements are pre-positioned to expedite response in the event of an anomaly.

Vandenberg AFB also contracts for a Hypergolic Emergency Response Team (HERT) that can respond within 60 minutes of notification with Self Contained Atmospheric Protective Ensemble (SCAPE) suit qualified technicians. This emergency response team is capable of handling the hypergolic propellants described in this submittal, and SCAPE suit qualified technicians are pre-positioned on location for hypergolic propellant transfer operations.

The Vandenberg AFB Command Post is staffed 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and provides a central point of contact in the event of an emergency on the base. Its extensive suite of communications equipment includes a hotline to Santa Barbara County Emergency Services.

Emergency response at Vandenberg AFB, which is consistent with the National Incident Management System, is implemented through the Disaster Response Force (DRF)--a management structure of experienced, senior base personnel comprising a cross-section of technical, logistical, medical, and communications expertise. In the event of an incident involving the release of a hazardous material, on-scene response will be directed by an Incident Commander certified through the Department of Defense Fire and Emergency Services Certification Program to handle such incidents. Vandenberg AFB regularly exercises the DRF in accordance with AFI 10-2501, and 30th

SW CEMP 10-2.

The Hypergolic Facility Operations Contractor, United Paradyne Corporation (UPC), maintains an operations-specific Emergency Response Plan (Performance Work instruction PWI-10-S-003H), that specifies Vandenberg AFB and UPC response personnel actions due to: minor and major hypergolic fuel and oxidizer propellant liquid and vapor releases during storage, transfer, and transportation activities; launch or aircraft failures; seismic events; security breaches; or pressure vessel releases.

The Environmental Management Cross Functional Team convenes quarterly with Fire, Safety, Environmental, Readiness, Bioenvironmental, Legal, and other key agency representatives to review the status of the hazardous material management program and to oversee the development, implementation, and integration of the risk management program elements.

Action Plan Update to Improve Safety: During the Hypergolic Facility seismic assessment conducted in March to May 2018, the following recommendations were made to improve safety.

Finding: Post base concrete by fuel scrubber. Concrete foundations for the fuel scrubber pipe supports have cracked in at least two locations.

The width of the cracks may indicate a lack of reinforcing in the top of the foundations. Building codes require at least two layers of reinforcing in the top 5 inches of column supporting pedestals.

This reinforcing provides concrete confinement which helps hold anchors in place when they're subjected to high shear or pullout forces.

Recommendation: Crack injection repairs are recommended to correct this. Rebar scanning in the top 5 inches of the foundations is recommended to confirm if hoop reinforcing is present.

Corrective Action: Completed by UPC 6 August 2019.

Finding: Support at disconnected lines. Fuel pipe that is discontinuous because of prior alterations, requires restraint at the top and bottom of the pipe discontinuity. Support is provided to the lower segment of pipe as it intersections with horizontal piping. However, the upper portion of pipe is left unrestrained.

Recommendation: A pipe support close to the discontinuity, and anchored to the concrete wall, is recommended.

Corrective Action: Completed by UPC 5 June 2019.

RMP*eSubmit Page 18

100000064431

Finding: Anchorage repair at fuel stand. The steel flange at the bottom of the fuel pipe stand is corroding, and the concrete where the stand is anchored is spalling.

Recommendation: Removal and repair of loose or spalled concrete is recommended. In addition, corrosion should be removed from the flange and the flange should be recoated to avoid future degradation of the adjacent concrete.

Corrective Action: Completed by UPC 3 October 2018

Finding: Fuel container restraint. Some fuel containers at the fuel storage facility are unrestrained.

The containers include secondary containment which provides for spill protection.

Recommendation: To reduce the risk of injury to personnel, we recommend the containers be restrained by strapping them with a durable material to the building structure, or a structural bollard anchored to the floor slab.

Corrective Action: Completed by UPC 3 October 2018. PHA 135 and Project Note UPC19-192.

Finding: Vehicle storage building. Column bases and anchors are significantly corroded at the storage building. Steel clips have been added to some of the columns to provide support where corrosion has eliminated contact between the column base and foundation. Due to the severity of corrosion, the column bases and anchors are no longer able to resist shear forces at the base of the building which may result in separation from the foundation and unpredictable behavior of the facility in an earthquake.

Recommendation: Due to the severity of corrosion in the facility, a full corrosion survey is recommended to determine if repair or replacement would be more cost effective. At a minimum, retrofit of the column bases is recommended to restore structural integrity of the columns and anchors. Corrective Action Plan: Deluge system is currently in a redesign phase by KAL Architects & Jensen Hughes Design.

Finding: Scrubber Waste Restraint. Containers of waste generated by the oxidizer scrubber are restrained with rope or bungee cord.

Recommendation: Improved restraint is recommended via use of more durable strapping material, and by strapping the containers to a post or bollard that is structurally anchored to the foundation.

Corrective Action: Issue closed by UPC 3 October 2018.

Finding: Unsupported vertical pipe at oxidizer facility. Vertical pipe runs along the west wall of the oxidizer tanks are typically restrained with a pipe support anchored to the concrete wall. However, the northern-most pipes lack this restraint and the unrestrained length of the pipe appears excessive.

Recommendation: A pipe support to restrain these pipes to the concrete wall is recommended.

Corrective Action: Completed by UPC 5 June 2019

Finding: Deluge water outlet pipe supports. Steel pipe supports are installed at various locations under the deluge water inlet pipes. The pipe supports appear to be tack welded to the pipes and the welds appear to be corroding.

Recommendation: Replacing the tack welds with 1-inch fillet welds is recommended; this is the minimum weld length required by the American Welding Society. After welding, all welds and exposed steel should be recoated.

Corrective Action Plan: Deluge system is currently in a redesign phase by KAL Architects & Jensen Hughes Design.

Recommendations for Further Study Finding: PEMB deformation relative to deluge piping. Pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB) generally perform well in earthquakes due to the relatively small mass and inherent ductility of steel frames and metal paneling. However, ductility is accompanied by larger building drift which can be incompatible with more rigid systems connected to the building. The deluge water piping is connected by the east wall of the fuel storage building.

Recommendation: Further evaluation of the deformation compatibility between the building and deluge piping is recommended to ensure that building drift in an earthquake will not inadvertently overstress the piping.

Corrective Action Plan: Deluge system is currently in a redesign phase by KAL Architects & Jensen Hughes Design.

Finding: Pipe Support Spacing. ASME B31.1 provides recommended maximum spacing for support of pipes with varying diameters and content. In the absence of other industry regulations, ASME B31.1 is often referenced for pipe support requirements. Based on visual inspection of the hypergolic storage sites, it appears that pipe support spacing in several locations approaches, and possibly exceeds, the limits of B31.1 recommendations. Larger spacing between pipe supports is allowed by

RMP*eSubmit Page 19

100000064431

ASME B31.1 when calculations demonstrate that pipes will not be overstressed. If prior pipe stress calculations are available, they should be reviewed as part of this recommended survey.

Recommendation: A survey of the unrestrained lengths of piping is recommended at the hypergolic storage sites.

Corrective Action Plan: Weston has completed evaluation and provided a detailed analysis. UPC and Weston developed Service Order VAN-WSI-079 to complete the work.

Finding: Deluge Water Pipe Stands. Much of the deluge water piping is supported on steel pipe supports anchored to, and cantilevered from, concrete foundations. In the past few decades, research and building codes have acknowledged higher seismic forces for non-building structural components because unlike buildings, there are not ancillary components attached to the structure

RMP*eSubmit Page 20

100000064431 which dampen the effects of earthquake ground motion. Upon visual inspection, the height of the deluge pipe supports at some areas appears disproportionately tall for cantilevered columns with no bracing. Recommendation: Evaluation of this system using current standards is recommended to confirm the system will withstand an earthquake considering current practice and recommendations for non-building structural components.

Corrective Action Plan: Deluge system is currently in a redesign phase by KAL Architects & Jensen Hughes Design.

Finding: Tank anchorage. Similar to discussion of the deluge water supports, recent research and code development acknowledges that non-building structural components can experience significantly higher seismic forces than buildings. At the oxidizer storage tanks, the quantity of anchor bolts connecting the tank to foundations appears disproportionate by current standards.

Recommendation: Evaluation of this system using modern codes is recommended to confirm the system will withstand an earthquake considering practice and recommendations for non-building structural components.

Corrective Action: Issue closed 20 May 2019. UPC Project Note UPC19-058 dated 10 Dec 18 analyzed the requirements of the anchor bolts and proved that the existing bolts are more than adequate for the duty. The calculations in the project note were reviewed and accepted by 30SW Range Safety professional engineer.

Finding: Non-uniform pipe support heights. Oxidizer pipes running from the tanks to the loading area are supported on cantilevered columns of varying lengths due to the sloped surface of the containment pit. The stiffness of a cantilevered column is inversely proportional to the length of the column, so shorter columns will attract more earthquake forces than taller columns. If the pipe support columns were designed to resist seismic forces equally, the shorter pipe supports, and their anchorage, may become overstressed in the event of an earthquake.

Recommendation: A survey of the pipe supports and anchorage is recommended at the hypergolic storage sites.

Corrective Action Plan: Weston has completed evaluation and provided a detailed analysis. UPC and Weston developed Service Order VAN-WSI-079 to complete the work.

Vandenberg AFB and UPC are communicating action plan updates to the Santa Barbara Certified Unified Program Agency, most recently 23 Dec 2019. There were no other safety issues found/determined during the hazardous review process requiring changes for safety.

Additional Information

Number of Full Time Employees: The number of full-time, on-base employees at Vandenberg AFB varies daily, but generally averages approximately 3,600 military personnel, 2,100 Civil Service personnel, and 3,100 contractor personnel who work full time on the installation, bringing the total number of full-time employees to approximately 8,800. The total community population is approximately 15,000 and includes all military, spouses, family, civil servants and contractors.

Date of Most Recent Emergency Response Training for Facility Employees: It should be noted that some aspect of emergency response training for facility employees and newcomers is conducted on a regular basis at Vandenberg AFB. Specific emergency response training for the different categories of base employees--including firefighters, security police, maintenance personnel, facility managers, work-site employees, and even newcomers--overlaps considerably and culminates in periodic base-wide exercises involving the Disaster Response Force. The most recent emergency response training for facility employees was 31 May 2018 which is the base-wide exercise involving the simulated C-17 aircraft crash with a release of 12,000 pounds of fuel.

General Duty Clause: Section 112(r)(1) of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990--the General Duty Clause--makes it incumbent on owners and operators of stationary sources to identify hazards and to implement accidental release prevention measures relative to "any other extremely hazardous substance" that may not be included in the EPA list of regulated substances. Accordingly, Vandenberg AFB identifies nitrogen tetroxide as a highly toxic substance that is stored on the installation in quantities that could pose a risk to the general public. Nitrogen tetroxide is used primarily as the oxidizer component of the hypergolic propellants employed by various space boosters launched from Vandenberg AFB; it is also occasionally used in smaller quantities as a propellant for satellites launched from Vandenberg AFB and in the Propulsion System Rocket Engine (PSRE) of certain ICBMs tested at the base.

All aspects of Vandenberg AFB's RMP and CalARP programs--to include OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM) standards and emergency response program planning and training--encompass nitrogen tetroxide storage and operations to the same extent they apply to the regulated hydrazines as described in this submittal. It should be noted that a review of the base's five-year accident

RMP*eSubmit Page 21

100000064431 history reveals there have been no reportable accidents involving base employees, contractors, and/or anyone in the general public as a result of exposure to a release of nitrogen tetroxide.

Vandenberg AFB fully intends to maintain every aspect of its current accidental release prevention program as it applies to nitrogen tetroxide as long as significant quantities of this substance are stored or used at the base.
