DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCES

TURN-IN PROCEDURES

Sep 2012

PREFACE

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is assigned the mission of managing the Defense Reserve of Ozone Depleting Substances to ensure that the supplies for mission critical uses are available. DLA provides central management for the receipt, storage and issuance through the DLA Aviation which is the activity within DLA that manages these substances. The DLA Distribution Richmond is the primary storage site for ODS.

It is imperative that your Military Service or Defense Agency turn in to the Reserve the following excess CFCs 11, 12, 114, 500, 502; Halons 1202, 1211, 1301, 2402; and HCFC-22 . The Reserve accepts both used and new CFCs, Halons, and HCFC-22 in a relatively pure state (i.e. not as a component of other products). These chemicals may have been purchased under the Federal Supply Classes (FSC) 6830 and 4210, or from a commercial source. CFC/Solvent -113 (Type I & II) and 1,1,1 Trichloroethane (FSCs 6850 and 6810) can also be turned in to the Reserve provided they have never been used and the containers in which the chemicals reside have never been opened or unsealed.

All turn ins must be returned to DLA Distribution in Richmond VA unless the activity is located in Japan, Hawaii, the United Kingdom or the European Community. Section 1 provides procedures on how to turn-in excess ODS to DLA Distribution in Richmond VA. Section 2 provides site specific guidance pertaining to turn-ins to the collection sites at Germersheim, Germany; Yokosuka, Japan; and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and at the DoD ODS Reserve European Holding Facility in The Netherlands. Guidance for other overseas collection sites will be added, as needed. Section 3 provides National Stock Numbers (NSN’s) specifically assigned to identify ODS turned in to the Reserve and associated recovery cylinders. Section 4 lists the chemical names of the Reserve ODS. Section 5 lists the DoD Services’ and Coast Guard POC’s.

For questions concerning requisitions (sales orders) and stock availability, contact the Reserve at DSN 695-6451 or commercial (804) 279-6451. For procedural concerns or questions please call, DSN 695-5203, 4525 or 5004. The commercial number is (804) 279-5203, 4525 or 5004.

GENERAL ODS TURN-IN INFORMATION

I.

Procedures

A.

No authorization/pre-notification to the item manager or ODS Program Office is required when turning in ODS to the Reserve.

B.

All types of ODS containers will be accepted in the Reserve to include cylinders, fire extinguishers, drums, spheres, and canisters. Government recovery cylinders are available free of charge through DLA Aviation for ODS turned in to the Reserve. The Military Standard Requisition and Issue Procedure (MILSTRIP) is used to requisition ODS. The DLA preferred method for your input of a requisition (sales order) into the supply system is through EMALL, but requisitions can be phoned in to DLA Customer Interaction Center. The Center is available 24 hours a day at DSN 661-7766 or COMM toll free (877) 352-2255 (877-DLA-CALL) to answer questions concerning MILSTRIP and requisition status. The government cylinders used for recovering CFC refrigerants are painted orange, and Halons red. Both have yellow tops and dual port (two valves) to distinguish them from single port valve standard spec gas cylinders. Dual port spec gas (virgin) CFC cylinders are only available for Navy shipboard applications.

C.

All ODS containers returned to the Reserve must be tagged/labeled as follows:

1.

The shippers DoD Activity Address Code (DoDAAC).

2.

The shipping activity’s “in-the-clear” address with POC and phone number.

3.

The NSN of cylinder(s) containing the recovered ODS (see Section 3).

4.

Type of ODS (i.e., Halon 1301 or CFC-12).

5.

The quantity of containers on the pallet or within the shipping crate.

6.

Packaged and labeled in compliance with DOT regulations.

Note: When multiple containers (cylinders, drums, spheres, canisters, or fire extinguishers) with the same NSN are shipped palletized or in a box/crate, apply only one tag/label to the shipment, not to each item.

D.

Fire suppression system cylinders and canisters with electrical charges or initiators must be deactivated prior to shipment to the Reserve. Also, safety caps must be used to cover exposed actuation mechanisms and discharge ports on these special cylinders, otherwise dangerous safety situations could arise during the shipping, receiving, or storage process. Your local area fire protection equipment companies can provide safety services. Special handling procedures for Halon system cylinders are provided later in Section 1. If further guidance is needed contact the ODS Reserve Program Office at DSN 695- 5203 or Commercial (804) 279-5203 or email avnodsreserve@dla.mil.

E.

Monetary credit will not be given for turned in ODS or cylinders. However, ownership credit will always be given to the service or agency for the pounds of ODS returned to the Reserve.

F.

Empty recovery, and spec gas cylinders must be turned in to the Reserve. Spec gas empty cylinders (see Section 3 for applicable NSNs) should not be used for recovering ODS. Spec gas cylinders will be refurbished and refilled with product for future requisitions. There are exceptions to recovering product into spec gas cylinders but this applies to limited Navy shipboard applications. Approval by the ODS Program Office is required to obtain these unique spec gas cylinders for shipboard applications.

G. CFC/Solvents - 113 and 1,1,1 Trichloroethane when turned in must be in their original containers in which the seal has never been broken.

H. Burnt out or mixed reserve products can be turned in to the Reserve. Clearly identify the chemical by defining its components (i.e. R-12 & R-502).

I. The following items are not a part of the Reserve:

1. Empty fire extinguishers (valves removed)

2. Empty commercial containers

3. Aerosol cans with Reserve chemicals

4. Dry chemicals

5. HCFC refrigerants except for R-22

6. R-134a or other HFC refrigerants

Contact your local Property Disposal Office for guidance on discarding these items.

II.

DLA Distribution Richmond, VA

SW0400 ODS Cylinder Operations

Open Shed 6

Chippenham Pkwy Entrance, Gate 13

Richmond, VA 23297-5900

Trucks must enter DLA Distribution from Chippenham Parkway (Route 150) through Gate 13.

D. Schedule all deliveries through the DLA Distribution Dispatch Office at DSN 695-3835/3836 or (804) 279-3835/3836. When transporting personally with a Government vehicle, you should schedule the delivery. When using a common carrier, advise the carrier to schedule the delivery based on its anticipated schedule.

III. Special Handling Procedures for Halon 1301 System Cylinders

A. Halon 1301 is typically incorporated into built-in fire suppression systems applications with the charged Halon cylinder connected to the system piping. Because the Halon is over pressurized with nitrogen to facilitate distribution, these system cylinders are usually disconnected from the system and used as the transportation cylinder to return the product to the Reserve as the systems are taken out of service. However, fire suppression system cylinders and canisters with electrical charges or initiators must be deactivated prior to shipment to the Defense Reserve. Special care should be taken when deactivating and disassembling the systems. The valves on these cylinders are designed in a manner that upon activation, they are changed instantly from a closed position to fully open position and will dispense the Halon in less than 10 seconds. The combination of these sensitive valves and the high pressure within the cylinders require compliance with good safety practices. It is highly recommended that an expert in Fire Suppression Systems be contracted to perform the decommissioning/removal.

B. Instructions for dismantling a Halon Fire Suppression System are provided as follows:

1. The first step is to deactivate the actuation system, which is usually electrical or pneumatic. However, disconnection from the electrical or pneumatic source is not sufficient from a safety standpoint. In the case of pneumatic systems, there is often still a small pin exposed that must be covered with a safety cap before handling. Just the slightest touch on this pin could cause full activation of the valve. In the case of electrically activated valves, simple disconnection of the electrical leads to solenoid valves is acceptable. However, if the electrical connection is to an explosive initiator, it is very important to remove the initiator. This is a very important safety practice, because static electricity can cause the explosive to detonate. These actions should be done before any other dismantling is initiated.

2. The next step is to disconnect any discharge piping from the discharge port. Immediately upon disconnection of the piping, install an anti-recoil device (discharge port safety cap). Safety caps should be used to cover exposed actuation mechanisms and discharge ports on these special cylinders, otherwise dangerous safety situations could arise during the shipping, receiving, or storage process. Application of manufacturer's designed and supplied caps are the proper safety practice. In some cases the threads are not exactly the same as pipe threads and may not hold under the pressure of release. However, if pipe caps, plugs or plates are substituted for manufacturer's caps, at least four opposing holes must be drilled in the anti-recoil cap, plug or plate to disperse any release of the Halon if the valve inadvertently activates. Anti-recoil device safety caps/plugs/plates must always be in place before handling the cylinders.

3. Adherence with the above safety practices is paramount before removing any cylinders from the mounting position. Once the safety devices are in place, cylinders can be moved with relative safety. However, these are high-pressure compressed gas cylinders and require all the safe handling practices of any other gas cylinder. Also, protective safety wear is required for personnel deactivating cylinders.

Section 2

SITE SPECIFIC PROCEDURES

A. Procedures for European Collection Site at

DLA Distribution, Germersheim, Germany
