SITE VISIT PRESENTATION

Beale AFB F2F Site Visit Script Beale Air Force Base (BAFB) is home to the 9th Reconnaissance Wing. Comprised of more than 4,200 military personnel in four Groups, the Wing provides national and theater commands with timely, reliable, and superior quality high‐altitude reconnaissance products. Equipped with the nation's fleet of U‐2 and RQ‐4 reconnaissance aircraft and associated support equipment, the Wing maintains a high state of readiness in its combat support and combat service, and is always ready to support forces for potential deployment in response to theater contingencies. In June 2011, Beale AFB became home to a fleet of approximately 7 MC‐12 aircraft, which are a low altitude propeller driven reconnaissance plane.

One other airframe at Beale is the T‐38, which is a trainer and not actively involved in missions.

Patrol Road

Beale is a 22,944‐acre military installation at the eastern margin of the Sacramento Valley in

Yuba County, California.

Beale manages thousands of acres of wetlands, many of which are vernal pools and are habitat for threatened and endangered species. These pools must be managed and monitored to ensure their viability as habitat. The area we are now traveling through is one of three vernal pool restoration/preservation areas on base. Every year, representative pools are monitored for vegetation, hydrology, and animal communities.

To the west is Reed’s Creek, which is one of three major tributaries to the Bear River that cross base boundaries. Reed’s Creek has been designated as a suitable habitat for the Giant Garter

Snake, one of the listed species which could possibly be found on base. As such, the habitat has management requirements that are agreed upon by Beale Air Force Base and the US Fish and

Wildlife Service.

Doolittle

Straight ahead is the AFCOMAC munitions assembly site. This area houses the 9th Munitions

Squadron, which operates one of the Air Force’s only bomb assembly schools. Thousands of students attend the school each year.

The area to the right makes up the flightline area of the base. The facilities in this area house many different base organizations and missions, including aircraft and ground support equipment maintenance, base supply, and airfield operations.

Several diverse industrial processes occur in this area of the base, accounting for many of the base’s hazardous waste Initial Accumulation Points and facilities regulated by Spill Prevention

Control and Countermeasures regulations. One example you can see is the refueler maintenance area.

Several generators and paint booths are located in this flightline area of base. These units are some examples of Beale’s 600‐plus air emissions sources regulated by local Air Districts, the Air

Resources Board and the EPA. Beale is a true minor source and regulated as a synthetic minor for air quality regulation purposes. Next month, Beale and Feather River Air Quality

Management District will conduct the annual inspection for each permitted source. In addition to this two week inspection, air emission source inspections are also conducted at Beale’s two

Geographically Separated Units (GSUs) – the Lincoln Receiver Site in Lincoln and the NEXRAD site in Oroville.

These two GSUs are also responsible for generation of hazardous waste, which Beale is responsible for properly managing and disposing.

Stop at 539

We will now be stopping at Building 539. This facility serves as the 90‐day central accumulation site for much of Beale’s hazardous waste. We are stopping so that you can see the facility that will be at your disposal. It is currently operated by 3 full‐time contractors. We ask that there are no questions while inside the facility.

J Street

We are approaching two facilities integral to the base’s Spill Prevention Control and

Countermeasures Plan. To the right is the J Street AAFES gas station, one of five sites on base that has an Underground Storage Tank. To the left is the bulk fuels area, which includes 4 active

Aboveground Storage Tanks with a total capacity of 2.4 million gallons. The fifth tank belongs to an outside agency.

WWTP

This facility is the base’s wastewater treatment plant. It was built in the 1940’s and is fed by 41 miles of sewer line. It is operated under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System

(NPDES) permit, which requires specific sampling and management procedures that will be performed under this contract. Daily samples are taken at the wastewater treatment plant.

Gavin Mandery

To the left is the site of a recent downed utility pole that resulted in the spill of approximately

90 gallons of transformer oil. This incident required response from the base’s spill response team to prevent impacts to waters of the US and minimize any other potential negative effects.

The base is responsible for managing 39 historic and prehistoric cultural sites. Cultural resources reported for the base include: archaeological sites evidencing prehistoric occupation by the

Southern Maidu (Nisenan); historic archaeological sites representing Euro‐american settlement and the development of a farming/ranching economy; transportation and mining; the U.S. Army operation of Camp Beale during World War II; and the Cold War era PAVE PAWS facility.

Originally an Army base used to train infantry and house prisoners of war during World War II, Beale was acquired by the Air Force in 1948 for training purposes. The runway opened in 1959.

As previously discussed, several listed species occur on base. These species can be impacted by various base projects and operations. Beale has an Integrated Natural Resources Management

Plan, which outlines habitat and species management goals and work plans.

Housing

We are now entering the military family housing area, which was privatized in 2012.

To the right is the Capehart AAFES shoppette facility, which operates Underground Storage

Tanks and generates hazardous waste.

Warren Shingle

To the right is the medical clinic. The clinic operates its own HAZMART, a 90‐day accumulation site, and a 9‐month satellite accumulation point.

To the right on the hill is PAVEPAWS – At this facility, the 7th Space Warning Squadron continuously scans the horizon for missiles, satellites, and other man‐made objects in space. Its primary mission is to detect, track, and provide the North American Aerospace Command

(NORAD) with impact prediction of Sea‐launched and Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles launched towards North America. Its secondary mission is to track man‐made objects circling in Low

Earth Orbit. The facility has a hazardous waste accumulation site, permitted air emission sources and Underground Storage Tanks.

Notice the fire breaks around the PAVEPAWS perimeter and throughout the base, indicating the high threat of wildland fires.

To the left is the base Golf Course. The golf course is irrigated by treated effluent from the wastewater treatment plant. The golf course pond is one of the wastewater sampling locations.

On the right is Heritage Park and a static display of an SR‐71.

Coming up on the left is the AFCOMAC schoolhouse associated with the AFCOMAC munitions assembly site.

Beale has several tenants on base, including the 548th Intelligence, Surveillance and

Reconnaissance Group, which operates Distributed Ground System‐2 and Deployable

Shelterized System‐Film components of the Air Force Distributed Common Ground System, a mission that includes exploitation and dissemination of near‐real‐time U‐2, RQ‐4 and Predator imagery and signals data.

Storm Water Overview

• Beale AFB is regulated by two stringent NPDES Permits:

•Industrial General Permit (new permit expected in July 2014)

•Regulates discharges associated with industrial activities.

•Construction General Permit

•Regulates dischargers whose projects disturb one or more acres of soil.

• Permit compliance can be challenging in our Mediterranean climate •Spills can be a major storm water compliance issue: SSO’s CE Fire (pictured below)•Spills can be a major storm water compliance issue: SSO s, CE Fire (pictured below), other spills (fuel, transformer, AFFF)

Storm Water Program Statusg

Challenges •Potential for NOVs from State Water Resources Control Board •New 2014 CA Industrial General Permit has more stringent requirements and increased sampling frequency

•Beale has struggled with benchmark exceedances in EC and TSS (likely due to construction projects)

• 2013 Notice – SWRCB intends to increase inspection frequency for Industrial Permitees

•Close proximity to EPA HQ = easy for regulators to pop in for inspection SWRCB inspects otherClose proximity to EPA HQ easy for regulators to pop in for inspection. SWRCB inspects other media - storm water is easy target while on other inspections

Good News •Discussions/rapport with SWRCB alleviated MS4 (Municipal) permit burden.

•BAFB removed as designee saving AF $35K in annual fees/projects

• Prior to Industrial General Permit adoption, CEIE rewrote SWPPP to align with draft permit requirements •Internal Stage 2 ESOHCAMP inspections are turning up potential storm water violations prior to regulatory inspections – Stage 2’s help to push SW compliance and bridge the gap between shopregulatory inspections Stage 2 s help to push SW compliance and bridge the gap between shop level personnel and Environmental Section

• CEIE staff have leaned forward and obtained Federal and State Storm Water Certifications – this aids in construction oversight and Tier 2 inspections ensuring permit compliance

Brian Ferrero

Waste water

• Beale has aging infrastructure, i.e. 1940’s era WWTP and 41 miles of sewer lines

• WDR Permit to be revised (new draft permit expected in 2014)

•Collection system has a high inflow/infiltration (I/I) rate and high risk for sanitary sewer overflows (SSO).

• A major SSO occurred in May 2011 f C• Major flooding inundated the temporary repair sewer line in Dry Creek

• ACC Sustain Team rated Wastewater System as degraded.
