FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLYDistribution authorized to DoD components and their contractors only; administrative/operational use;March 16, 2006. Other requests for this document shall be referred to the Chief, AcquisitionEnvironmental Safety & Health Division, Engineering Directorate, ASC/ENV, <strong>Wright</strong> <strong>Patterson</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong><strong>Base</strong>, OB 45433<strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> <strong>Plant</strong> <strong>44</strong> Facilities Review13 -16 March 2006Explosive Safety Evaluation1.0 OVERVIEW: The annual ASC/EMV Industrial Facilities Review of the RaytheonMissile Systems Company (RMSC), <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> <strong>Plant</strong> <strong>44</strong>, Tucson, Arizona, was conducted13 - 16 Mar 2006. Maj Bob Schmedake, MSW/ENSA, on behalfof ASC/ENV,performed the Ordnance Safety evaluation. Mr. Ronald Orr, RMSC Ordnance Safety,and Douglas Long accompanied Maj. Schmedake. The purpose of the review was toconduct an examination ofthe RMSC responsible facilities/workplaces and evaluate theOrdnance Safety Program administration and its effectiveness.2.0 Previous Observations:3.02006 FindingsMaj. Schmedake accompanied the facilities electricians on their visual inspection of thelightning protection system at Bid 864. The electricians performed a thorough inspectionof the existing air terminals, conductors, ground conductors, and ground rods. Theelectricians found and documented discrepancies such as loose air terminals. Also notedwere the presence of an air vent at southern test cell for Bid 864, and a mast withelectrical cable, installed on the northern test cell. Both of these structures extend abovethe air terminals and have no lighting protection installed.A review of the explosive site plans in work was conducted. There are 22 explosive siteplans that have been submitted to the Phoenix DCMA office since early 2005. Of these,the AFMC-AFP<strong>44</strong>-05-S01 plan has made it through DCMA, ACO, PCO, ASC, AFMC,AFSC and is not at the DDESB. The remaining 21 plans are still with the PhoenixDCMA review and have not been sent to ASC yet. The earliest of the plan submittalsoccurred in July 2005 and as late as January 2006. The delays in ESP reviews haveimpacted efficient operations at Raytheon.Among the 22 ESPs there are 4 ESPs on AFP<strong>44</strong> property (others are in work for otherRaytheon facilities) that were required to be submitted by the Phoenix DCMA forfacilities with HC 1.4 explosives. There is no requirement in 000 4145 .26M, 0006055.9, or AFM 91-201 for these site plans. It is unclear why the contractor was requiredto do more than license the facilities for the 1.4 cabinet and operating locations.Attachment 3
