APPENDIX C

HMI Standard Operating Procedure

DSCR BDGR Human Machine Interface (HMI) Instructions This document highlights “quick start” instructions for using the HMI touch screens to control system operations. Note, these instructions are for navigating the HMI and do not completely cover proper system operation and maintenance.

Main Screen The “Main” HMI screen provides an overview of the entire system status, from the extraction well pumps to the injection well lines. All equipment with controls are accessible from this main screen, and system instrumentation values are displayed.

Touch here to Enable and Disable system operation.

Button will change to “SYSTEM DISABLED” when disabled.

Pushbuttons in the middle-bottom of the screen provide navigation to all screens.

Current screen will appear green (i.e., current screen view is “Main”)

The “Alarm Reset” pushbutton clears alarms and interlocks.

Touch pump icons to bring up control pop-up boxes.

See following pages for details on each type.

Extraction Well Pump Control The Extraction Well Pump Controls are accessed by touching the extraction well pump icons. The pumps can be toggled from Auto to Manual mode. In Auto mode, the pumps will run according the programmable logic controller (PLC) logic. In Manual, the pumps can be run by clicking the “Start” button. The pumps will now run regardless of the PLC logic and will only stop if the pump savers or overload device prohibit running.

Touch equipment icons to bring up HMI Manual/Auto selection.

When Manual is selected, a “Start” and “Stop” button will be displayed. Click “Stop” to turn the pump Off, and “Start” to put the pump in Manual operation.

Touch the Manual/Auto box to toggle between Manual and Auto

Transfer Pump Control Both transfer pumps (P-101, and P-201) can operate in Auto or Manual mode. In Auto mode, the pump and variable frequency drive (VFD) will operate according to the PLC logic with a T-101/T-201 level setpoint. A number corresponding to feet of water in the tank is typed into the Level SP box in the Auto control pop-up.

In Manual mode, the pump can be manually started by clicking the “Start” button or stopped with the “Stop” button. A VFD Speed Setpoint (0-100%) is entered for the pump to run in Manual mode. Note, the pump will run regardless of PLC logic or alarms.

Touch the transfer pump icon to bring up Auto/Manual selection

Click here to toggle between Manual/Auto

Click here to bring up keypad to type in level setpoint

Metering Pump Control The metering pump controls are accessed by touching the corresponding metering pump symbol on the HMI. Snapshots of the Auto features of each metering pump control are shown below. The Manual features are identical for each pump. In Manual, the pumps can be stopped or started with a manual pump speed setpoint, from 0-100%. If running in Manual, the pumps will not be disabled with alarms.

pH Metering Pump (P-110)

In Auto, the operator must set pH setpoints and corresponding P-110 speeds as shown in the snapshot below.

Carbon Metering Pump (P-210)

In Auto, the operator must set a carbon ratio. P-210 speed will then be controlled to maintain a flow rate at a ratio to the process flow equal to the setpoint value.

Biocide Metering Pump (P-211)

In Auto, the operator can set a pump speed setpoint from 0-100%. This is the same control as in Manual mode; however, when in Auto the pump can become disabled with specific alarm conditions.

Setpoints Screen The setpoints screen allows all alarms and control points with analog values to be adjusted. The setpoints are grouped by instrument. Each setpoint associated with each instrument is labeled. For example, LT-103 is the level transmitter in EQ Tank T-101. The value at which the high-high and low-low alarms are triggered can be set here. The values at which the transfer pump P-101 turn on and off can also be set here.

Touch numeral entry buttons to adjust setpoint values

Alarm Summary Screen Current and previous alarms can be viewed from the alarm summary screen. Alarms that are no longer active will continue to display until the “Clear” button is pressed.

Data Screen The data screen shows values for all flow and pump runtime totals.

Controls Screen The Controls Screen shows a summary of all pump controls.

APPENDIX D

Initial Startup Procedure

Defense Supply Center Richmond BDGR - Initial Startup Procedures Alarm Resets and System Restart

If the system has been shut down and the tanks totally emptied than the following procedures need to be completed to clear the alarms to get the system running again in fully automatic mode. Tank T-101 and T-201 have low-low level alarms and those cannot be cleared until water is pumped into the tanks to clear the alarms. The following steps should be taken for initial system startup:

1. Confirm that all the valves in the building are in the correct position which will allow flow to influent Tank T-101 and then from the influent tank through the Bag Filters (BFs), Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Vessels, and injection monitoring tank T-201. From T-201 confirm that all the valves are open to the injection wells. If purging to the storm drain or injecting carbon amendment confirm the valves are open to the pH adjustment, carbon donor and/or biocide lines.

2. On the Human Machine Interface (HMI) screen push on one of the extraction wells to get to the extraction well screen. Put one, two, or all three of the extraction wells in “Hand” mode which will turn the extraction well pumps on. Confirm that water is coming into T-101 and adjust the influent valve positions to adjust flow if needed.

3. Fill up T-101. When there is enough water in the tank (i.e., approximately 2-3 ft.) put P-101 in

“Hand”. P-101 should not exceed a flow rate of 20-gallons per minute (gpm) so set the “Hand” speed to 50Hz and increase the speed accordingly. P-101 will need to be turned “ON” and “OFF” manually by the operator dependent of the water level in T-101. Once P-101 is turned on confirm water is flowing through the BFs, GAC vessels, and into T-201.

4. Pump water into T-201 until the tank is approximately 3.1 ft. Then put the pumps that were in “Manual” mode to “Auto” mode. Use 3.1ft. as the tank setpoint level for both P-101 and P-201.

5. To get the system ready for automatic operation put all the remaining pumps that are desired to run into “Auto” mode. Note pumps that are being operated in “Manual” will not be controlled by any critical alarm conditions.

6. Check the system to make sure no other alarm conditions exist. If alarm conditions have or do exist they will need to be cleared in the system by pressing the alarm reset on the lower right corner of the HMI screen.

7. Once all of the system checks have been completed then press the “System Enable” button on the lower left corner of the HMI to start the system in fully automatic mode.

8. Ensure the pH amendment (sodium hydroxide) chemical metering pump is turned on if the system is discharging to the storm drain. The pump is plugged into an outlet which is tied to the programmable logic controller (P-110).

1. POLICY

It is Arcadis policy to be proactive in the identification, assessment and control of health and safety hazards and associated risks. To those means, any equipment that utilizes or stores hazardous energy will be controlled following this Health & Safety Standard (HSS) at any time Arcadis staff or its subcontractors must perform maintenance on this equipment. Whenever possible, Arcadis will de-energize equipment before performing maintenance, troubleshooting, or other activities where hazardous energy is present. When controlling hazardous energy, this standard, at a minimum will be strictly followed.

When fulfilling the Authorized Employee role, Arcadis will provide the necessary equipment to isolate, secure or block unexpected energization of equipment. This equipment includes but is not limited to locks, tags, chains, wedges, key blocks, plug lockouts, adapter pins, self-locking fasteners or other hardware for isolating, securing or blocking of machines or equipment to prevent incidents involving hazardous energy.

2. PURPOSE AND SCOPE

2.1 Purpose

This HSS details the administration and necessary provisions for protecting employees from injuries associated with hazardous energy release, and unexpected start-up of equipment through the use of Lockout/Tagout (LO/TO) procedures.

2.2 Scope

This standard applies to all Arcadis employees and on all projects where equipment that utilizes hazardous energy is present and maintained by Arcadis staff. Arcadis subcontractors must have LO/TO programs that meet the minimum requirements of this standard.

Only trained and authorized personnel are permitted to use the procedures outlined in this HSS for locking or tagging out equipment to ensure it does not unexpectedly energize and/or start while an Authorized Employee is performing maintenance or service activities. This standard applies specifically to employees that operate, service or maintain equipment requiring the removal or by-passing of a machine guard or protective enclosure. In addition, it applies to personnel who must place any part of their body in a place where the accidental energization of equipment, release of stored energy, or release of stored hazardous materials may cause injury.

Arcadis staff who design and develop equipment and processes that require energization, must do so to allow for LO/TO and include information as to how to LO/TO such equipment or processes.

If any device must be worked on in an electrically energized capacity, the work will be done following the Arcadis Electrical Safety Standard (ARC HSFS006). If other energized equipment must be worked on in an energized state, contact Corporate Health & Safety or the client H&S resource for guidance.

and the tags will not be re-used unless designated for re-use.

5.2.4 Energy Isolating Devices

When replacement or major repair, renovation, or modification of a machine or equipment is performed, and when new machines or equipment are installed, energy-isolating devices designed to accept a lockout device for such machines or equipment will be installed. If equipment for de-energizing is in a confined space, the confined space will be cleared of all employees prior to testing the energy source for de-activation.

5.3 General Safety Procedures for Lockout/Tagout and Isolation Lockout/tagout isolation procedures will be initiated only by an Authorized Employee.

Personnel not trained in lockout/tagout procedures are not authorized to install, inspect, repair, adjust, remove, maintain or service equipment where the potential for injury due to accidental start-up, energization, or release of stored energy exists.

All affected employees must be notified prior to equipment deactivation and isolation and must be notified prior to equipment reactivation after isolation measures have been removed. Personnel involved with lockout/tagout isolation of equipment shall receive information concerning the specific type and magnitude of energy or hazardous material involved, the hazards involved, and the method of control to be utilized.

Authorized Employees shall de-energize equipment by following the written procedure developed specifically for the equipment involved and consistent with this HSS and or other applicable laws and client requirements.

Prior to performing any work on equipment, all isolation devices shall be in place. Locks and tags shall be affixed to each energy-isolating device by Authorized Employees.

servicing the isolated equipment shall attach a lock to the isolating device. In situations involving two or more persons, multiple lock hasps shall be utilized. Tags shall be attached with all locks and must identify the authorized individual responsible for each lock, must be signed, dated and must have the name of the contractor with which the employee is employed.

Prior to work, Authorized Employees shall verify and document that the equipment has been disengaged, de-energized, and isolated. All potentially stored or residual energy must be released, relieved or disconnected. If there is a potential of accumulation, verification of isolation shall be conducted and documented throughout the project (see the next section).

If a machine must be re-energized after initial isolation (i.e., for testing or repositioning), then LO/TO procedures must be followed as outlined to re-isolate the equipment.

5.4 General Lockout/Tagout Procedures

Specific written LO/TO procedures will be developed for each piece of energized equipment requiring maintenance or service. These specific procedures can be developed using LO/TO Procedure Template (Exhibit 2). If a client has specific written

ARC HSFS004

LO/TO procedures for its facility equipment with which employees of Arcadis are working, the procedure will be reviewed and used or revised by Arcadis, as appropriate.

The following information provides general LO/TO procedures to be used for the development of equipment specific procedures. Prior to initiating the LO/TO process, Arcadis employees will complete and use the Permit to Work (Exhibit 3).

5.4.1 Lockout/Tagout Sequence

The authorized employee(s) shall notify all affected employees prior to the shutdown and isolation of the equipment/machine. Affected employees should be informed of the reason for shutdown and approximate length of time required for servicing or maintenance.

The authorized employee(s) shall review the type(s) and magnitude(s) of energy present and the hazards present.

If the machine/equipment is operating, the authorized employee(s) shall have the machine/equipment operator explain the standard shutdown procedure and then shut it down according to the procedure.

The energy isolating devices shall be deactivated so the machine/equipment is isolated from the energy source(s).

Each isolating device shall be locked out and tagged out. If lockout is not feasible, only tagout of the isolating device will be conducted, and additional precautions will be required to provide employee protection equivalent to the protection provided when lockout procedures are utilized. Each Authorized Employee conducting activities on the equipment/machine shall attach a(n) individually assigned safety lock to each isolating device. A standard tag shall also be attached to each individual's lock that identifies, by name, the authorized employee responsible for each lock. Stored or residual energy must be released or dissipated from each system to reach a zero energy state. Visual inspection shall be made to confirm that all moving parts have stopped. Any stored or residual energy shall be drained, blocked, repositioned, restrained, or bled. Electrical circuits shall be grounded to discharge electricity stored in capacitors.

To ensure that the equipment is completely isolated from the energy source(s), it is necessary to test the equipment to make certain that it will not operate. The following methods shall be used to test the equipment:

o Check the area and equipment to assure that no personnel are exposed to the start-up of equipment o Activate all start-up devices and operating controls o Use tic-tracers or voltage indicators to test electrical circuits o Return all operating control(s) to the neutral or off position after verifying the isolation of the equipment

Check the machine/equipment and immediate area to ensure that non-essential items and tools have been removed Check to ensure that all guards and covers have been replaced Check to ensure that all employees are safely positioned or have left the area Check to ensure that all operating controls are in the neutral or off position All authorized employees shall personally remove their individual locks and tags from the isolation devices and destroy used danger tags unless tags are designed for reuse

All affected employees must be notified that the work activities are completed and the equipment/machine is ready for use

If work activities are not completed prior to a shift ending (or other personnel change), then the procedures in Section 5.4.3 Transfer of Lockout/Tagout During Shift and Personnel Changes must be followed.

5.4.3 Transfer of Lockout/Tagout During Shift and Personnel Changes The supervisor shall designate an authorized employee who shall control the lockout/tagout devices at the end of a shift and shall be responsible for transferring lockout/tagout authority to the next shift.

The designated authorized employee shall not remove his/her lock from any of the isolation devices until at least one of the arriving authorized employees has locked out and tagged out all of the isolation devices.

If the arriving authorized employees assuming responsibility for lockout/tagout do not attach locks prior to the previous shift employees removing all of their locks, then the employees assuming lockout/tagout authority shall repeat the entire lockout/tagout sequence.

5.5 Group Lockout/Tagout

Authorized employees shall obtain specific site lockout instructions from the project manager or designee and shall coordinate extended lockout requirements with the project manager or designee. When more than two employees are involved in work activities on the machine or equipment covered by this HSS, each authorized employee will attach a lock to a multi-lock hasp on each isolation device.

When group lockout/tagout is used, the last authorized employee with a lock attached to isolation devices will be responsible for removing the isolation devices and restoring equipment to use conditions according to the equipment-specific or general HSS.

ARC HSFS004

When more than one crew, trade, or contractor, etc., is used on a project that requires equipment lockout/tagout, one specific employee shall be designated to coordinate affected work forces and to ensure continuity of protection.

5.6 Tagout System

Arcadis requires the use of a lockout device and an attached tag on all isolating devices capable of being locked out or accepting lockout devices. If an energy isolating device is not capable of being locked out, Arcadis requires the use of a tagout system designed to provide full employee protection against equipment start-up. When a tagout device is used on an energy-isolating device, the tag shall be attached at the same location that the lockout device would have been attached. Additional precautions will be implemented to provide a level of safety equivalent to that obtained by using a lockout device. Additional safety measures may include such steps as the removal of an isolating circuit element, blocking of a controlling switch, opening of an extra disconnecting device, or removal of a valve handle to reduce the likelihood of inadvertent energization.

Use of tagout procedures without the use of locks can only be utilized if the equipment to be de-energized will not accept a lock and the following conditions are met:

Tagout procedures will provide protection to personnel equivalent to the use of locks.

Additional measures, sufficient to ensure protection of employees, are taken to prevent accidental start-up or energization.

If equipment for de-energizing is in a confined space, the confined space will be cleared of all employees prior to testing the energy source for deactivation.

5.7 Employee Unavailable to Release Lockout/Tagout

If the employee who installed a locking device is not available, the following procedure shall be used to unlock the device(s):

The individual requesting device removal will attempt to contact the authorized employee via cell phone, hotel phone or home phone and request the employee return to remove the device. If the authorized employee is contacted but cannot come in, the status of the locked equipment will be documented and the requesting entity notified of the equipment status. All of the above including unanswered attempts at contact will be documented. If contact is not made, a message will be left to indicate that the locking device will be removed. Upon removal a red warning tag will be left where the device was placed indicating to the authorized employee that the device was removed and the equipment is now energized.

The Project Manager or designee will verify that the authorized employee is not at the facility and is not potentially in harms way relative to the affected equipment.

The Project Manager or designee will notify the Business Line Director of H&S or the client H&S resource of the reason for device removal and the status of the affected employee.

The entire sequence of events will be documented in the form of a memorandum addressed to the Business Line Director of H&S.

5.8 Written Lockout/Tagout Procedure Exception

If the following elements exist, a written LO/TO Procedure is not required for a particular machine or equipment:

The machine or equipment has no potential for stored or residual energy or accumulation of stored energy after shut down which could endanger employees;

The machine or equipment has a single energy source which can be readily identified and isolated;

The isolation and locking out of that energy source will completely deenergize and deactivate the machine or equipment;

The machine or equipment is isolated from that energy source and locked out during servicing or maintenance A single lockout device will achieve a locked-out condition;

The lockout device is under the exclusive control of the authorized employee performing the servicing or maintenance;

The servicing or maintenance does not create hazards for other employees; and There have been no accidents involving the unexpected activation or reenergization of the machine or equipment during servicing or maintenance.

The Authorized Employee is responsible for ensuring the elements listed above are met prior to proceeding with LO/TO operations without a specific written LO/TO procedure. In addition, the Authorized Employee must still complete and use the Permit to Work (Exhibit 3).

5.9 Periodic Inspections

Authorized Employee(s) are to conduct a periodic inspection of their energy control procedure(s) at least annually to ensure that the requirements of the established energy control procedure and the LO/TO standard are being followed:

The periodic inspection shall be performed by an Authorized Employee other than the ones(s) utilizing the energy control procedure being inspected;

The periodic inspection shall be conducted to correct any deviations or inadequacies identified;

Exhibit 1 Definitions Affected Employee operates or uses equipment that is subject to lockout/tagout procedures or works around or in the vicinity of equipment subject to lockout/tagout processes.

Note: An affected employee becomes an authorized employee when the affected employee's duties are expanded to include performing servicing or maintenance on a machine or piece of equipment which must be locked or tagged out. See the definition of an Authorized Employee below. Before performing service or maintenance on a piece of equipment that is locked or tagged, that employee must receive the training detailed in Section 6 of this standard.

Authorized Employee is someone who locks out or tags out machines or equipment in order to perform servicing or maintenance on that machine or equipment. Each authorized employee shall receive training in the recognition of applicable hazardous energy sources, the type and magnitude of the energy available in the workplace, and the methods and means necessary for energy isolation and control. Arcadis HR Operations maintains a list of LO/TO Authorized Employees.

Energy Isolation Device is a mechanical device that physically prevents the transmission or release of energy. It does not include control circuit type devices, but rather physical devices that control circuit operation designed to accept a lockout device. They are installed when replacement or major repair, renovation, or modification of a machine or equipment is performed, and when new machines or equipment are installed.

Hazardous Energy covered by this standard includes, but is not limited to:

Electrical Mechanical Hydraulic Pneumatic Chemical Thermal Gravitational (stored) Pressure (stored) Hazardous materials

Lockout Device is a device that utilizes a positive means, such as a lock, chain, block, etc. to hold an energy-isolating device in a safe position ensuring that the energy isolating device and equipment cannot be operated. All locks shall be uniquely keyed.

Servicing and/or maintenance are workplace activities such as constructing, installing, and setting up, adjusting, inspecting, modifying, and maintaining and/or servicing machines or equipment. These activities include lubrication, cleaning or unjamming of machines or equipment and making adjustments or tool changes, where the employee may be exposed to the unexpected energization or startup of the equipment or release of hazardous energy.

Tagout Device is a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to indicate that the isolating energy device and equipment may not be operated.
