3. SITE BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS

3.1 BACKGROUND

Eielson AFB is located 26 miles southeast of Fairbanks and occupies 63,195 acres. Since its establishment in 1944, the mission of Eielson AFB has been to train and equip personnel for close air support of ground troops in an arctic environment. The runway is oriented north to south and is 14,507 feet long. It was extended to its present length in the 1950s to accommodate B-36 aircraft and is the second longest runway in North America. Eielson AFB employs approximately 3,000 military personnel and 950 civilians. The total population residing on Eielson AFB is approximately 5,150 out of the total population of the Fairbanks North Star Borough of approximately 82,000 people. Residential and occupational populations are primarily concentrated in the developed portion of the Base. Ongoing functions on the developed portion of Eielson AFB consist of work, school, and recreational activities. Eielson AFB contains three elementary schools and one junior/senior high school. There is one childcare center, one medical center, and a dental clinic. Communities near the Base include Moose Creek and Salcha. Moose Creek abuts the northern Base boundary and the Salcha area abuts the southern Base boundary. Eielson AFB and the surrounding area are located in the Tanana River Valley. Significant wildlife frequents Eielson AFB, and the AFB supports a variety of recreational and hunting opportunities. No threatened or endangered species live on Eielson AFB. The climate is sub-arctic, as Fairbanks experiences generally dry, short summers with up to 22 hours of daylight in late June and long, cold, dark winters. Fieldwork is conducted primarily during the summer when the vadose zone is thawed and daylight hours are long. The summer field season is generally between 15 April and 15 October. Operations at Eielson AFB have generated varying quantities of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes from industrial and airfield operations, fire training, and fuel management. On 21 November 1989, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) listed Eielson AFB on the National Priorities List. This listing designated the facility as a federal Superfund site subject to the remedial response requirements of Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act. In May 1991, the United States Air Force (USAF), State of Alaska, and USEPA entered into the Federal Facilities Agreement under CERCLA Section 120, which established the procedural framework and schedule for developing, implementing, and monitoring CERCLA response actions. An additional goal of the Federal Facilities Agreement was to integrate the USAF’s CERCLA response obligations and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act corrective action obligations. Under the Federal Facilities Agreement, potential known source areas were either grouped into six operable units (OUs) based on similar contaminant and environmental characteristics or were included for evaluation under a source evaluation report. The site-wide study followed the investigations under separate OUs to evaluate any cumulative risks at the base. OUs 3, 4, and 5 include 20 source areas that have been combined because of similarities in contaminants. Details of the historic field activities are available in previous annual reports and work plans.

3.2 DESCRIPTIONS OF OPERATIONS

Field activities planned for this project on Eielson AFB are described in their respective workplans. Level D personal protective equipment (PPE) is expected to be used for field activities. If conditions warranting Level C arise, field crew will don appropriate PPE listed in Section 5.2 and notify the SSHS and the Project Manager. Field activities under separate EA contracts may also be occurring on Eielson AFB. Other possible field activities are listed below.

Monitoring well installation and repair Installation of temporary and permanent monitoring wells by subcontracted drilling

company and use of a rented backhoe. Gauging and surveying of monitoring wells.

Sampling of water and soil Groundwater sampling using micro-purge tubing with check valves and/or low-flow

pumps. Suface water and sediment sampling. Waste sampling of soil and water. Particulate analysis of groundwater.

Passive soil gas sampling Installation of samplers into the subsurface using a hammer drill.

Air sampling Ambient air, indoor air, subslab air sampling.

Geophysical Investigations Geophysical investigations using ground penetrating radar (GPR), Sonar, and EM61

time-domain metal detector.

Landfill Inspections Inspection and surveying of existing base landfills.

Evaluation of the effects of pollutants on ecosystems Any subcontractors performing work under the control of EA will follow this SSHP or develop a plan that is at least as stringent. If subcontractors opt to follow this plan, they must supplement it with safety procedures for the areas in which they are experts (e.g., drilling safety). If subcontractors opt to develop their own SSHP, the plan must be reviewed prior to the start of fieldwork. Subcontractors will be used for drilling, monitoring well installation, monitoring well repair, geophysical investigations, and surveying.

4. HAZARD EVALUATION

4.1 GENERAL SITE HAZARDS

Hazards anticipated at Eielson AFB are listed below. Chemical, equipment, and fire and explosion hazards, considered to be more project specific, are discussed below. Discussions of the more general hazards are presented in Attachment D. All hazards will be discussed during safety and health meetings.

Chemical hazards

Fire/explosion hazards

Equipment hazards (heavy equipment)

General physical hazards (i.e. slip/fall hazards)

Material handling/moving/lifting hazards

Noise hazards (i.e. flightline, heavy equipment, blowers)

Biological hazards (i.e. moose, insects)

Weather and temperature hazards

Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) hazards

4.2 CHEMICAL HAZARDS

Chemicals that have been detected during previous monitoring at Eielson AFB are summarized here and presented in greater detail in the annual Sitewide Monitoring Program (SWMP) reports, as constituents of concern (COCs) for each source area.

4.2.1 Chemical Hazards Description

Polychlorinated biphenyl’s (PCBs), chlorinated hydrocarbons including trichlorethylene (TCE), pesticides (such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT)), diesel range organics (DRO), gasoline range organics (GRO), and metals (such as lead) are the most likely COCs encountered on Eielson AFB. Exposure to relatively small doses of PCBs (such as those found in the tissue of Garrison Slough fish) over a long period of time may cause toxic effects to the nervous system or to a developing fetus. PCBs have also been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals (USAF, 1995). TCE mainly affects the central nervous system (the brain), causing headache, nausea, dizziness, clumsiness, drowsiness, and other effects like those of being drunk. TCE can also



DRAFT/FINAL

damage the facial nerves, and it can cause skin rash. Heavy exposure can damage the liver and kidneys. TCE causes cancer in animals and may cause cancer in humans. The pesticide DDT, and its degraded products dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDD) and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), affects the central nervous system, kidneys, and liver. The compound is a carcinogen, and care should be taken to avoid exposure. Short-term exposure may produce skin and eye irritation, tremors, dizziness, and convulsions. If concentrations are high enough, vomiting and paraesthesia (abnormal skin sensation, such as burning or tingling) occurs. Long-term exposure may cause tumors of the liver, kidneys, and the lymphatic system. Although variable in composition, petroleum (DRO and GRO) products can be characterized in a general manner. Gasoline is approximately 80 percent paraffins in the C5 to C14 range, 6 percent olefins, and 14 percent aromatics; additives (e.g., ethylene dichloride, ethylene dibromide, tetraethyl lead, and tetramethyl lead) are sometimes present in small amounts. Diesel contains paraffins and cycloparaffins in the C11 to C24 range and very low levels of aromatic hydrocarbons. Although the composition of gasoline varies, the acute health effects of exposure are similar for all blends. Exposure to gasoline can occur by inhalation and dermal contact. Inhaled gasoline generally acts as an anesthetic and mucous membrane irritant. Intoxication, headaches, blurred vision, dizziness, and nausea are the most commonly observed symptoms of overexposure to gasoline. Diesel fuel is not sufficiently volatile to constitute an acute inhalation hazard in unconfined spaces. It is not readily absorbed through intact skin, but it can penetrate abraded skin. Dermal contact with gasoline or diesel can dry the skin, which can lead to skin irritation, infection, and dermatitis. The risks and hazards associated with the major classes of petroleum hydrocarbons present in gasoline and diesel are described below:

PARAFFINS (alkanes) include n-butane, n-hexane, isobutane, isopentane, and cyclopentane. There is no evidence that these compounds are mutagenic (i.e., chemicals which cause changes of the genetic material in reproductive cells, resulting in deformed offspring), teratogenic (substances which cause deformities in unborn offspring that have already been conceived), or carcinogenic (substances which cause cancer). Exposures to hexane can cause peripheral nerve damage. In general, these compounds have low human toxicity and the potential toxicity tends to decrease with increasing carbon chain length. Cycloparaffins are less toxic than their equivalent straight-chain paraffins.

OLEFINS (alkenes) include trans-2-pentene and 2-methyl-2-butene. These compounds have little inherent human toxicity, although adverse health effects can result from exposure to high levels of some olefins.

ALKYBENZENES (aromatics) of greatest concern are benzene, toluene, xylenes, and ethylbenzene. Benzene is a human carcinogen, but the other aromatics have not been identified as carcinogens. Adverse effects of the aromatics include renal failure, liver damage, central nervous system damage, and respiratory tract damage. Benzene and other aromatics can be absorbed through the respiratory tract and the skin, so both inhalation and dermal contact are potential routes of exposure.



DRAFT/FINAL

Other potential contaminants contained in used oils are cadmium, chromium, lead, and gasoline additives.

CADMIUM: The symptoms of overexposure to cadmium are chest pain and tightness, headache, muscle aches, nausea, diarrhea, coughing, chills, and difficulty in breathing. Inhalation is the major route of exposure.

CHROMIUM: The symptoms of overexposure to chromium are respiratory irritation and skin irritation. Both dermal contact and inhalation are potential routes of exposure.

LEAD: Exposure to high levels of lead can result in central nervous system damage, kidney and blood damage, and other effects. The symptoms of overexposure to inorganic lead are lassitude, insomnia, abdominal pain, and constipation. Inhalation is the major route of exposure.

Gasoline additives may be present in small amounts at some contaminated sites but are most likely not a concern in most sites. The following additives are the ones most likely to be encountered:

TETRAETHYL LEAD and TETRAMETHYL LEAD are used as an anti-knock gasoline additive. Symptoms of overexposure include: dermatitis, headache, dizziness, sleeplessness, and restlessness, disorientation, depressed appetite, nausea and vomiting, low blood pressure, delusions, hallucinations, mania, and depression. Overexposure can result in fatal lead-poisoning upon swallowing, vapor-inhalation, or skin absorption.

ETHYLENE DIBROMIDE is toxic by inhalation, ingestion, or contact with skin and eyes. Symptoms of overexposure include skin infections, nausea, stomach ache, and jaundice.

ISOPROPANOL is used as an antifreeze agent and in decontamination procedures. Isopropanol is toxic by skin absorption, inhalation, or ingestion. It is a colorless liquid with the odor of rubbing alcohol. Symptoms of overexposure can include: conjunctivitis, corneal ulcerations, skin irritation, irritation of the respiratory tract, headache, nausea, dizziness, decreased blood pressure, vomiting, hematemesis, anuria, uremia, hepatomegaly, and anemia.

4.2.2 First Aid

In general, if direct skin contact with any of these chemicals occurs, immediately wash the contaminated skin with water. If these chemicals penetrate the clothing, immediately remove the clothing and wash the skin with water. If symptoms occur after washing, get medical attention immediately. When these chemicals contact the eyes, immediately wash the eyes with large amounts of water, occasionally lifting the lower and upper lids. Get medical attention immediately. If a person breathes large amounts of these chemicals, move them to fresh air at once. Get medical help as soon as possible, and keep the affected person warm and at rest. Should the



DRAFT/FINAL

person lose consciousness, monitor their breathing and pulse and if needed, assist breathing or give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) until help arrives. If these chemicals are swallowed, get medical attention immediately.

4.2.3 Exposure Limits and Warnings

If Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs) are suspected to be encountered in the breathing zone, readings in the breathing zone will be collected using a Photoionization Detector (PID) or equivalent capable of detecting VOCs at 1 part per million. The PID will be calibrated in accordance with manufactures specifications. Readings will be taken immediately starting work at the site and if conditions change indicating possible VOCs in the breathing zone such as observation of free product or petroleum odors. If the possible VOC is unknown Benzene will be used as a screening level because it has the lowest Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) and Threshold Limit Value (TLV). If either a full or half face respirator is required a OV/P100 filter or equivalent will be used. The associated PID levels, respirator requirements, and air monitoring requirements for unknown VOCs or Benzene are summarized in Table 4-1.

Table 4-1: PID Screening Levels and Respirator Requirements

PID Reading in Breathing Zone

Respirator Requirements

Air Monitoring Requirements

0 ppm None

After the first reading continue to monitor every two hours and immediately if there is a change in work conditions.

1 ppm to 5 ppm Half Face or Full

Face

After the first reading continue to monitor every hour and immediately if there is a change in working conditions.

5 ppm to 10 ppm Full Face

After the first reading continue to monitor every 20 minutes and immediately if there is a change in working conditions.

Over 10 ppm STOP WORK

Contact the Site Safety Supervisor and the Project Manager to determine additional site controls to be implemented if work is to continue. If available on the PID meter, set the warning alarm for 10 ppm.

PID Photoionization Detector

PPM Parts Per Million

If the VOC is known the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) PELs or the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) TLVs along with a protection factor of 10 for a half face and 50 for a full face respirator can be used to determine the acceptable level of PID readings required for respirator use and stop work levels. For cases were the VOC is known the Site Safety Supervisor and Project Manager can use the PEL and



DRAFT/FINAL

TLV to determine a safe range for respirator use and stop work levels. Possible contaminants and the associated PEL and TLV levels are shown in Table 4-2. In cases of known contaminants using Table 4-1 will be sufficient for contaminates listed in Table 4-2. For contaminants not listed in Table 4-1 use the screening levels and respirator requirements outlined in Table 4-1. In any case where the suspected VOC is unknown a respirator is required for PID readings above 1 ppm in the breathing zone. And any PID readings in the breathing zone above 10 ppm work will be stopped. Exposure limits for the chemicals discussed in this section are listed below in Table 4-2.

4.3 FLAMMABILITY AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS

Although of minimum concern, potential flammability and explosion hazards may be encountered during sampling or while monitoring remedial sites. When sampling or gauging recovery tanks, the following steps must be taken to avoid hazards. The concentration of total volatile hydrocarbons (TVH) must be measured at the bore hole/tank opening using a combustible gas indicator (CGI) monitor. Results will be recorded in the field notes. If the TVH level is below 10 percent of the lower explosive limit (LEL), the operation may continue. The LEL of gasoline, diesel, and methane is 1.4 percent (14,000 ppm), 0.9 percent (9,000 ppm), and 5.5 percent (55,000 ppm) respectively. If the TVH concentration is between 10 percent and 25 percent of the LEL, work may continue with caution and increased monitoring. If the concentration of TVH exceeds 25 percent of the LEL, work must cease and personnel must withdraw from the area. The possibility of initiating an explosion through static discharge when lowering monitoring equipment into a tank that contains product is of significant concern. Therefore, personnel will always ground monitoring equipment according to manufacturer’s instructions.

4.4 EQUIPMENT HAZARDS

Operation of heavy equipment, such as excavators, loaders, graders, rollers, and bulldozers, will be performed by skilled operators who have demonstrated the ability and necessary skills to operate safely. Ground-based workers will be trained in how to work safely around the equipment and how to stay clear. Unsafe practices by either the operator or those around the equipment can create dangerous situations. Serious injuries can occur if the equipment strikes

a worker, or if the equipment is rolled over.

Here are a few common safety rules that operators and ground-based workers must follow:

1) Good communication is essential. The operator and signal person will use a standardized set of hand signals. Operators should always know exactly where all ground based workers are located, and the wearing of high visibility vests will help the operator to locate them quickly. The equipment will have a back up warning alarm that can be heard by all nearby workers. Two-way radios are also valuable communication tools.

2) Heavy equipment must have a rollover protective structure (ROPS) meeting OSHA requirements. The ROPS is designed to protect the operator if the machine tips over. A seat belt shall be worn so that the operator will not be thrown out of the seat during a rollover or upset situation. If working on slopes, try to avoid moving across the face of the slope. Try to



DRAFT/FINAL

operate up and down the slope face if possible. Use extreme caution when operating near open

excavations.

3) Wear hearing protection when required. If it has been determined that noise levels around

the equipment could potentially cause hearing loss, always use protective plugs or muffs when

working on or around the equipment.

4) Never jump onto or off the equipment. Operators should always use the three-point contact rule when climbing onto or off heavy equipment. The three-point rule means having both feet

and one hand, or one foot and both hands in contact with the ladder access at all times.

5) Inspect and service the equipment regularly. Complete equipment service in accordance

with the manufacturer's recommendation. Qualified personnel will do periodic safety inspections on all components of the equipment regularly. Inspect the steering system and

brake systems carefully. A pre-shift walk around inspection will be performed by the operator.

Injury accidents involving heavy equipment on construction sites have a higher probability of resulting in a fatality than many other types of accidents. It is critical to follow all of your

company's safety rules and procedures when operating or working around heavy equipment.

Additional equipment that present potential hazards include compressors, Rotron blowers, pressure lines, generators, submersible pumps, and drills. The following steps will be taken to avoid equipment hazards. Electrical related repairs shall be limited to properly trained individuals. When sampling with generators and electrical pumps, cords and electrical lines will be inspected for cracks and loose connections. The generator shall be properly secured for transport to avoid any unnecessary movement. When utilizing air compressors and blowers, the fluid lines in the remediation systems can sustain high pressures and temperatures. Care must be exercised when disconnecting fluid hoses to ensure that they are not under pressure or at high temperatures. Sufficient time must be allotted for lines to de-pressurize and cool prior to disconnection. While in the equipment sheds, the wearing of loose clothing, jewelry, or other related items will be avoided to prevent any objects from being caught in moving blower parts or air inlets. When monitoring points/wells are constructed or decommissioned, the following steps will be taken to avoid hazards. Buried utility pipes, wires, conduits, and other potentially dangerous structures will be taken into account for each location. Overhead power lines and obstructions will also be surveyed. No drilling will occur without personnel first obtaining a dig permit from Eielson AFB. Prior to raising the mast, the area overhead and surrounding the rig will be checked by the drilling foreman and the SSHS. The longest conductive object on the drill rig will be located with a minimum of 10-foot clearance from overhead lines with voltages less than or equal to 50 kilovolt (kV). For lines with voltages exceeding 50 kV, the longest drill rig object must be at least 10 feet plus 4 inches for every 10 kV over 50 kV (e.g. for a 250 kV line, clearance must be at least 16.7 feet). The client will inform EA of the voltages of any overhead lines in the vicinity of drilling operations.



DRAFT/FINAL

When rotary drilling/sampling, drill rods will not be racked more than 1.5 times the height of the mast. During drilling operations and rig setup and takedown, all persons who enter the Exclusion Zone will wear hard hats, safety shoes/boots, and safety glasses/face shields to protect personnel from physical hazards. If during drilling there is any indication that underground tanks, drums, or other containers are being encountered, the drilling will halt immediately and the SSHS shall notify the Project Manager and CSHO. Indications that a waste container may have been encountered include (1) change in the speed of the auger, (2) visual inspection of auger cuttings, (3) odor noted in the cuttings, and/or (4) the presence of airborne total volatile organics as measured with a direct-reading instrument. Work around drilling equipment also involves basic safety hazards (e.g. snapping cables, slings, ropes, moving heavy equipment, slip and trip hazards, etc.). Accidents may include head injuries from falling tools and equipment, hand and foot injuries due to moving equipment, and crushing injuries from unstable equipment or careless moving of equipment. If possible, EA personnel must remain outside the turning radius of any large moving equipment. If this is not feasible, then at a minimum EA personnel must maintain visual contact with the equipment operator at all times when equipment is active. Eielson AFB has procedures regarding vehicles/equipment operating on taxiways and on the runway. All personnel driving must be trained and permitted by Eielson AFB personnel. The following are some of the other requirements, the full list of requirements are addressed in Air Force 354 Fighter Wing Instruction 13-202 Flightline Drivers Familiarization included as Appendix E.

The speed limit on the taxiway is 15 mph (5 mph within 25 feet of aircraft).

Taxiing aircraft have the right of way.

The Tower will use light guns to communicate with personnel without radios. All commands must be observed and obeyed. The signals are as follows:

Color and Type Meaning

Steady Green Clear to cross or proceed

Steady Red Stop

Flashing Red Clear Active Runway

Flashing White Return To Starting Point

Red & Green General Warning Exercise Extreme Caution

During an aircraft accident or incident, all vehicles not directly involved with the situation will immediately leave the flightline ramp area as soon as possible. Vehicles will stop and yield the right-of-way to all emergency and alert response vehicles.

When parking any wheeled equipment or vehicle on the flightline and when leaving the driver’s seat unattended, the following applies:

o Engine will be turned off except at 0° Fahrenheit (F) or colder. o Select reverse (manual/standard) or park (automatic). o Hand or parking break will be set (except at 32° F or colder). If the vehicle or

wheeled equipment is not equipped with an integral braking system or the



DRAFT/FINAL

temperature is 32° F or colder, secure with chocks placed at the vehicle’s rear wheels. Rope chocks may be used year round. Wood chocks will only be authorized 1 May to 1 October.

o All motor vehicles will use emergency flashers when parked on the flightline during the hours of darkness or inclement weather.

o Vehicles will be left unlocked with keys in the vehicle. o Do not park closer than 25 feet in front of any aircraft or within 200 feet to the

rear of jet aircraft in operation or about to be in operation. o Engine will be turned off except at 0° Fahrenheit (F) or colder. o Never park a vehicle pointed at an aircraft. Chocks will be used at all times by

vehicles within the 10-foot safety distance requirement. Vehicles are a major source of foreign objects that damage aircraft tires and are ingested into jet engines with disastrous results. Due to the high cost of damage and personal injury, the AF has initiated procedures for the removal of foreign objects in the flightline and taxiway areas of Eielson AFB to prevent foreign object damage (FOD). FOD procedures are outlined in detail in the 354 Fighter Wing Operating Instruction 21-135 Preventing Foreign Object Damage (FOD) and Implementing Tool Control provided in Appendix E. The following procedures will be implemented.

Before operating a vehicle on the runway or taxiways the operator will stow and secure all equipment.

Vehicles will only access the aircraft parking areas, taxiways, and runway by entry points approved by Airfield Management. FOD checks will be accomplished on vehicles and towed trailers or equipment at these entry points prior to entering the airfield.

If leaving a paved surface becomes necessary, re-check all tires for debris before re-entering. Debris will be deposited in vehicle FOD cans or tossed to the side, clear of the pavement area. Do not leave removed debris on access road! Security forces and Airfield Management will assist in monitoring for compliance of FOD tire checks.

FOD checks will be accomplished by inspecting and removing FOD from all tires, then starting the vehicle and rolling forward to expose the area of the tires that were on the bottom. Then re-inspect the tires and remove debris prior to entering the airfield. If the driver remains in the vehicle while other personnel perform the FOD check, the driver will place the vehicle in park rather than keep his/her foot on the brake.

Any item lost or suspected lost on the airfield will be reported to Airfield Management or Maintenance Operations Center (MOC). MOC and Airfield Management will notify the other office if a lost item is reported to them.

5. PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT (PPE)

5.1 LEVEL D

Level D PPE and clothing will be used initially. The following equipment is mandatory:

Gloves rated for full protection for the COCs when sampling soil, water, sediment, or organic tissues,

Steel-toed or composite toed boots (exceptions are made during winter field activities),

Safety glasses with side shield or face shield when working near heavy equipment or around splash hazards,

Orange traffic vest when working near traffic or drilling operations,

Hearing protection, either ear plugs or ear muffs, when working near heavy equipment, drilling rigs, and on the flight line.

5.2 LEVEL C

For environmental sampling in some source areas, Level C PPE and clothing may be required based upon exceeding action levels. Under Level C conditions, the following equipment is mandatory:

Chemical resistant clothing,

Respirator (1/2-face or full –face) equipped with cartridges rated for the COC,

Gloves rated for full protection for the COC when sampling soil, water, sediment, or organic tissues,

Steel-toed boots,

Safety glasses with side shield or face shield when working near heavy equipment or around splash hazards (unless equipped with a full-face respirator),

Orange traffic vest when working near traffic or drilling operations,

Hearing protection, either ear plugs or ear muffs, when working near heavy equipment, drilling rigs, and on the flight line,

The zone for respirator use will be established by the SSHS for each environmental sampling episode that occurs within a source area requiring Level C protection. When working under Level C protection, the SSHS will hold daily safety briefings prior to the start of field operations.

6. MEDICAL/ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD MONITORING

6.1 MEDICAL MONITORING

Prior to commencing field operations for each season, personnel involved with hazardous waste activities will be required to have completed their annual 8-Hour Hazardous Materials refresher course. As part of the company’s medical monitoring program, field personnel will receive clearance to wear respirators.

6.2 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD MONITORING

At the start of intrusive activities, and approximately every 30 minutes, or as required, the SSHS will measure, or will assign someone to measure, the TVH concentration in the breathing zone (the breathing zone is from approximately 1 foot above to 1 foot below the level of the nose). The monitoring results will be recorded in the field notes. If the TVH level increases above the background, the monitoring frequency will be increased. If this analysis indicates levels exceeding the PEL or 50% of the PEL for 1 hour, the SSHS must make a decision either to increase the level of personnel protective equipment and frequency of monitoring or to discontinue field activities. Air purifying respirators must be worn or engineering controls must be instituted to lower concentrations to background for work to continue. The calibrations of the instrument will be checked at the beginning of each day of use. If appropriate, the power source of the instrument will be checked the day before use. Should field personnel experience changes in health while conducting sampling (such as nausea, dizziness, headache), these symptoms will be immediately reported to the SSHS, and field personnel will leave the sampling area until the situation is evaluated. The SSHS will immediately report the incident to the base point of contact or the client project manager.

6.3 WILDFIRES

Health threat from wildfire smoke: Smoke from wildfires is a mixture of gases and fine particles from burning trees and other plant materials. Smoke can hurt your eyes, irritate your respiratory system, and worsen chronic heart and lung diseases. How to tell if smoke is affecting you: Smoke can cause:

• Coughing • A scratchy throat • Irritated sinuses • Shortness of breath • Chest pain • Headaches • Stinging eyes • A runny nose



DRAFT/FINAL

If you have heart or lung disease, smoke may make your symptoms worse. People who have heart disease might experience:

• Chest pain • Rapid heartbeat • Shortness of breath • Fatigue

Smoke may worsen symptoms for people who have pre-existing respiratory conditions, such as respiratory allergies, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), in the following ways:

• Inability to breathe normally • Cough with or without mucus • Chest discomfort • Wheezing and shortness of breath

When smoke levels are high enough, even healthy people may experience some of these symptoms. Know whether you are at risk: If you have heart or lung disease, such as congestive heart failure, angina, COPD,

emphysema, or asthma, you are at higher risk of having health problems than healthy people. Older adults are more likely to be affected by smoke, possibly because they are more likely

to have heart or lung diseases than younger people. Children are more likely to be affected by health threats from smoke because their airways are still developing and because they breathe more air per pound of body weight than adults. Children also are more likely to be active outdoors. Protect yourself:

Following are ways to protect your health:

Limit your exposure to smoke.

Pay attention to local air quality reports.

Listen and watch for news or health warnings about smoke.

Find out if your community provides reports about the Environmental Protection Agency’s Air Quality Index (AQI).

Also pay attention to public health messages about taking additional safety measures.

Refer to visibility guides if they are available. If you are advised to stay indoors, keep indoor air as clean as possible. Keep windows and doors closed unless it is extremely hot outside. Run an air conditioner if you have one, but keep the fresh-air intake closed and the filter clean to prevent outdoor smoke from getting inside. If you do not have an air conditioner and if it is too warm to stay inside with the windows closed, seek shelter elsewhere. Use a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter to reduce breathing problems. A HEPA filter may reduce the number of irritating fine particles in indoor air.



DRAFT/FINAL

Do not add to indoor pollution. When smoke levels are high, do not use anything that burns, such as candles, fireplaces, or gas stoves. Do not vacuum, because vacuuming stirs up particles already inside your home. Do not smoke, because smoking puts even more pollution into the air. If you have asthma or another lung disease, follow your doctor’s advice about medicines and about your respiratory management plan. Dust masks are not enough. Paper "comfort" or "dust" masks commonly found at hardware stores are designed to trap large particles, such as sawdust. These masks will not protect your lungs from smoke.

8. SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND SAFE WORK PRACTICE

8.1 SAFETY EQUIPMENT

The following safety equipment must be present at each site:

First aid kit,

ABC-type fire extinguisher,

Eye wash bottle or eyewash kit,

Drinking water, and

Flares.

8.2 COMMUNICATION

The Site Safety and Health Officer(s) will conduct weekly safety and health meetings during the project performance. Topics covered will include general site safety practices and safety concerns for anticipated field activities during the current week. Daily meeting will be conducted during intrusive activities, or for unanticipated field activities. The Site Safety and Health Officer(s) will review this HASP, current safety topics, and hazardous communications with any new onsite personnel (including subcontractors). A cellular telephone will be provided at each job site for additional communication with the Site Safety and Health Officer(s) and Site Manager.

8.3 GENERAL SAFE WORK PRACTICES

The buddy system must be used (at minimum two people in communication with each other) when sampling in remote areas. In the event personnel are working alone they will check in with Eielson AFB personnel at the Civil Engineering Squadron prior to entering a site and will check back in at the completion of the field work.

Field personnel should avoid skin contact with peramanone and N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) bug repellant; it should be applied only on articles of clothing. These compounds may cause allergic and toxic effects with repeated use.

Smoking, eating, drinking, and chewing either tobacco or gum is prohibited in the exclusion zone.

Prior to initiating work at the site, the SSHS must identify the nearest sanitation facility for site personnel in each area.

Potential ignition sources must be identified and minimized.



DRAFT/FINAL

EA and subcontractor vehicles must not be parked in locations which block fire hydrants, access to emergency equipment, or exits from buildings.

Site personnel should wash their hands and face upon leaving a site. If drinking water is not available at the site, potable water must be provided.

Prescription drugs must not be taken unless specifically approved by a physician who understands the nature of the work exposure.

First aid treatment will be administered only by trained personnel.

When respirators are required, facial hair that interferes with the face-to-face piece seal must be trimmed or removed.

Use of contact lenses when wearing a respirator is not permitted.

During hot or cold weather, regular rest breaks should be taken to avoid temperature-related stress. Non-alcoholic beverages, preferably water, should be consumed regularly to avoid dehydration.

Prior to work start-up the SSHS must identify and demarcate work zones if necessary. Unauthorized persons will be excluded from the work area.

Avoid skin contact with water, soil, organic tissue, and sediment when collecting samples.

Be alert for hazards related to moving equipment and pressurized lines.

General Site Hazards


May 2013 Page D-1

Physical Hazard Information Sheet: General Physical Hazards

Hazardous waste and other field operation sites include many basic safety hazards, such as:

Holes, ditches, etc. posing fall, cave-in, and other hazards;

Precariously positioned objects which may cause crushing or other injuries;

Sharp objects (e.g., nails, metal shards, glass) which may cause cuts, injections, or other injuries;

Slippery surfaces posing slip and fall hazards;

Steep grade and/or uneven terrain, posing slip, trip, and fall hazards;

Unstable surfaces (e.g., walls that may cave-in, unstable underground structures) which may pose fall, crushing or other injuries.

Basic safety hazards can directly injure workers and create hazards. For example, a person may trip due to uneven terrain, fall and be cut on rusty metal shards, and become inoculated with contaminants adhering to the metal. Site personnel should look constantly, closely, and carefully for these basic safety hazards and immediately inform the SSHS of any conditions that they feel may be hazardous.


May 2013 Page D-2

Physical Hazard Information Sheet: Material Handling/Moving/Lifting

Improper materials handling accounts for a large number of occupational injuries. Materials handling at hazardous waste sites can vary from heavy equipment handling to manually handling items. Hazards associated with materials handling include physical injury, detonation, fire, explosion, and vapor generation. When using equipment to move materials, proper work practices must be followed. Equipment used must be designed for the task to be performed. Equipment must be inspected regularly by the SSHS and the Site Manager, and damaged or defective equipment must be removed from service. Planning is critical when handling materials. The Site Manager, in conjunction with the Project Manager, must plan where the materials are to be moved, taking into consideration the current location of such materials and hazards associated with moving them. Routes for moving materials must be clearly outlined, with paths cleaned of all obstructions so materials may be transported. Injuries to the back and abdominal muscles from improper lifting of loads is one of the most common occupational injuries reported. Such injuries can range from relatively mild strains to major permanently disabling injuries. Before lifting any load, employees and subcontractors should consider overall weight, distribution of weight, awkwardness of the load, distance to be carried, obstacles to be negotiated, site conditions, and visibility. Loads should be inspected for slivers, sharp edges, slippery surfaces, etc. prior to lifting. Loads should be lifted using the power of the leg muscles rather than the back, stomach, or arm muscles. Approach the item to balance the load evenly. Never bend over when lifting. The back should be kept straight and the arms nearly parallel with the body. The knees should be bent to grasp the load. Lifting should be done by straightening the legs, holding the load as close to the body as possible and the back remaining as straight as possible. Bulky, heavy loads should be handled by at least two people, ensuring the load is level and evenly distributed between all employees and subcontractors helping to carry it. All carriers should know the destination and path for the load.

Physical Hazard Information Sheet: Noise Hazards

Work around large equipment often creates excessive noise. The effects of noise can include:

Workers being startled, annoyed, or distracted,

Physical damage to the ear, pain, and temporary and/or permanent hearing loss,

Communication interference that may increase potential hazards due to the inability to warn of danger and provide for proper safety precautions to be taken.

If workers are subjected to noise exceeding an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) sound level of 85 dBA (decibels on the A-weighted scale), administrative or engineering controls shall be instituted to reduce noise levels to or below the permissible values. All personnel exposed to excessive noise levels shall be provided with and shall wear a hearing protection device which effectively protects the workers. OSHA regulations on noise can be found in 29 CFR Part 1910.95.

Physical Hazard Information Sheet: Biological Hazards

Insect Bites/Stings: Protective outer clothing such as gloves, hard hats, and coveralls can help reduce the potential for insect bites and stings. Insect bite symptoms may include redness, rash, swelling, chills, fever, diarrhea, and vomiting. Any worker who has been bitten or stung and shows symptoms of a severe reaction should seek medical assistance immediately. Workers who know of allergies they may have to insects must advise their employer prior to engaging in field activities; the company will provide the workers with antidote kits. Wildlife, particularly moose, is abundant at Eielson AFB. Avoid wildlife if possible and do not provoke them in any way. Wildlife, especially mothers with offspring, can be dangerous. Bears should be avoided by at least one-quarter mile. If any wildlife displays aggressive behavior, base security should be notified.

Physical Hazard Information Sheet: Cold Stress

Cold stress hazards occur at low temperatures or low wind chill factors, with wet, windy conditions also contributing to risks. All personnel should be familiar with cold stress symptoms, which include:

Hypothermia: Cold-induced decreasing of the core body temperature that produces shivering, confusion, drowsiness, and muscular weakness. A key symptom of hypothermia is significantly impaired cognitive ability; when this occurs, the affected individual is no longer competent to take steps to help themselves. Advanced stages of hypothermia include extreme euphoria, and sensations of warmth, leading to unconsciousness and death. Note: Hypothermia can occur in mild, but wet and windy conditions as well as at colder temperatures.

Frostbite: Constriction of blood vessels in the extremities, decreasing the supply of warming blood. May result in the formation of ice crystals in the tissues, causing tissue damage. Condition may range from frost-nip, which is a numbing of extremities, often accompanied by a whitening of the affected skin, to deep-freezing the tissue beneath the skin. When deep-freezing of tissue occurs, skin takes on a waxy, dead feel, and affected extremities are wooden and solid to the touch. Severe frostbite results in impaired cognitive abilities, failing eyesight, shock and cessation of breathing; death may occur from heart failure.

Pain in the extremities and/or confusion and slowed movement may be the first warnings of cold stress, and precautions (see below) should be taken to reduce exposure. Severe shivering, white patches on exposed areas of face, or extreme numbing of toes or fingers must be taken as signs that worker may be in immediate danger, and exposure to cold must be immediately terminated. Personnel exhibiting signs and symptoms of cold stress must be removed from the site, decontaminated, and given appropriate first aid. Emergency medical services must be contacted if symptoms are severe (e.g., more than numbness of extremities or shivering). When air temperature is less than 36o F (including wind chill), workers who become immersed in water or whose clothing becomes wet must immediately be provided with a change of clothing and be monitored for hypothermia. To prevent cold stress when air temperature is less than 40o F (including wind chill), personnel should wear layers of loose-fitting clothing including insulated coveralls, head coverings, and boots. Particular care must be taken to insure that boots are large enough to accommodate thick socks without hampering blood circulation. Protection of the hands, feet, and head is particularly important because these are likely to be injured first by cold. However, actual injury to hands, feet, and head is not likely to occur without prior development of early signs of hypothermia such as numbing and shivering. Bare skin contact with cold surfaces (below 20o F) must be avoided. Personnel should wear wind-resistant outer shell to decrease wind chill effects. No continuous exposure to cold is permitted when the air speed and temperature results in an equivalent chill temperature of 26o F or less.


May 2013 Page D-6

A temperature-dependent work regimen limiting lengthy periods of outdoor activity may be necessary. Workers entering heated shelters should remove the outer layer of clothing and loosen remaining clothing to permit sweat evaporation. Dehydration must be avoided by drinking warm drinks or soups.


May 2013 Page D-7

Physical Hazard Information Sheet: Heat Stress

Personnel working under high-temperature conditions or wearing protective clothing while working in warm temperatures are subject to heat stress. Heat stress may be exhibited by any of the following conditions: Heat Cramps: Muscle spasms in abdomen or limbs. Frequent rest periods and fluid intake are appropriate measures to prevent or reduce heat cramps. Heat Exhaustion: Severe dehydration. Other symptoms may include pale, clammy skin, profuse sweating, dizziness, light-headedness, slurred speech, rapid pulse, confusion, fainting fatigue, and nausea. Affected personnel should be escorted from the site, decontaminated promptly, set in a cool, shaded area and given fluids slowly. Heat Stroke: Life-threatening condition occurring when the body’s temperature-regulating system improperly functions. Symptoms include hot dry skin, rapid, deep breathing, lack perspiration, delirium, high fever (often 106o F or more), nausea, and unconsciousness. Brain damage and/or death may occur, if body temperature is not reduced. Provide fluids, use cooling devices (hose-down or shower), call emergency medical services or transport to hospital immediately. Prevent heat stress by resting frequently in a shaded area and consuming large quantities of fresh potable water (more than amount needed to simply “quench thirst”). Drink at least 8 ounces of water or Gatorade every 2 hours when temperatures exceed 75o F. If heat stress symptoms are wide-spread among workers or observed frequently, the SSHS should implement an appropriate work-rest period so that after 1 minute of rest, a person’s heart rate (HR) does not exceed 110 beats per minute (bpm) based on pulse. If the HR exceeds 110 bpm, the next work period should be shortened by 33 percent, while the length of the rest period remains the same. If the HR is 110 bpm at the beginning of the next rest period, the following work cycle should be reduced by 33 percent. A healthy individual’s resting HR is usually 60-72 bpm.

Physical Hazard Information Sheet: Munitions and Explosives of Concern

Munitions and explosives of concern (MEC) constitute a special hazard category at Eielson AFB. This may be anything related to ordnance designed to cause damage to personnel or material through explosive force, incendiary action, or toxic effects. Unexploded ordnance and explosive waste includes bombs and warheads, guided and ballistic missiles, artillery, mortar and rocket ammunition, small arms ammunition, antipersonnel and antitank land mines, demolition charges, pyrotechnics, grenades, containerized and uncontainerized high explosives and propellants, depleted uranium rounds, military chemical agents and all other related components, explosive in nature or otherwise designed to cause damage to personnel or material (i.e. fuses, boosters, bursters, rocket motors). Uncontainerized high explosives/propellants or soils with explosive constituents are considered explosive waste if their concentration is sufficient to be reactive and present an imminent safety hazard. EA personnel and subcontractors on Eielson AFB will conduct all field activities with the awareness that, although constituting a small risk on the base proper, unexploded ordnance and explosive waste may be present. Should personnel encounter any object of questionable origin, it should be assumed that it may be armed and could go off at any time. The SSHS must immediately evacuate the area, and inform base explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), as well as the client contact and the Project Manager. Under no circumstances should any personnel attempt to pick up or move the suspected piece.

Light gun signals willbe posted in plain view of all flightline vehicles routinely using the flightline. Tower light gun signalsare shown in Table 2.

354FWI13-202 26 APRIL 2001 7

Table 2. Tower Light Gun Signals.

8.6. Radio Discipline. Due to the variety of frequencies monitored by Ground Control and Tower it isimperative that all individuals using air and ground control frequencies use proper and concise phrase-ology. Tower has ultimate authority over all traffic entering the movement area and will issue, by radioor directional light signals, specific instructions which approve or disapprove the movement of air-craft, vehicles, equipment, or personnel on the movement area. If other vehicles will accompany thevehicle requesting to cross a runway, the vehicle operator must say the word “plus” and the numberthat will accompany, for example: “OPS 1 plus 2.”

8.6.1. Use of improper terminology, i.e., go-ahead, cleared, etc., when conducting communica-tions over ground and air control frequencies will not be used due to possible misinterpretation.All radio communications will be kept to a minimum.

8.6.2. Drivers are required to repeat Tower instructions when operating on or near, or requestingto operate within, the controlled movement area. The phraseology used by Tower consists of:

"Proceed via (route)."

"Proceed on (runway, taxiway, etc.)."

"Proceed to (location)."

"Proceed (direction)."

"Cross runway (number) at (taxiway or other designation)."

8.6.3. Proper terminology will be limited to "called station identifier, call sign, position, followedby the specific request." When requesting permission to enter the controlled movement area thespecific request will be preceded by the vehicles location on the airfield. In addition, all vehicleswill report when off the controlled movement area. Example: “Ground, Ops One, taxiway E,request permission on the runway....Ops One, Ground, proceed on runway 31, report when off orOps One, Ground, hold short....followed by either Ops One proceeding on runway 31 will reportwhen off or Ops One holding short.”

8.7. Movement Area. The movement area is defined as the runway, within instrument hold lines, andthat portion of the airport within 100 feet of the runway edge.

8.7.1. Runway Holding Positions. Holding positions are reflective yellow markings, painted onall taxiways connecting into a runway. They designate those areas that aircraft and vehicles mustremain behind until approval is received from the control tower, to enter the active runway. Thismarking consists of two parallel stripes which extend across the entire width of the taxiway, toinclude the taxiway shoulder. The two stripes closest to the runway centerline is a dashed line andthe other two are solid lines. Runway designation signs are also located adjacent to each holdingposition, on both sides of all taxiways that connect to the runway.

Color and Type Meaning Steady Green Clear to cross, or proceed. Steady Red Stop. Flashing Red Clear Active Runway. Flashing White Return To Starting Point. Red & Green General Warning Exercise Extreme Caution.

8 354FWI13-202 26 APRIL 2001

8.7.2. Instrument Holding Positions. The Instrument Holding positions consist of two solid yel-low parallel stripes with double vertical stripes spaced 2 feet apart and Instrument Hold Line signswhich resemble a ladder. The designation for the Instrument Holding Position “INST” is paintedon the runway side of the line, to be read facing the runway. To protect the Precision ApproachRadar (PAR) critical areas, all aircraft and vehicles must remain behind this line during lowweather operations (when reported ceiling is less than 200 feet or visibility is less than 1/2 statuemile). Prior approval via two-way radio must be established prior to proceeding beyond this line.Instrument Hold Lines are located on taxiways A, E, and G.

8.7.3. Two-way radio communication with Tower is required prior to proceeding onto the con-trolled movement area. At all times, the appropriate radio will be monitored and vehicles will haverotating beacons turned on. If not beacon equipped, headlights and emergency flashers will be on.Personnel requiring access to the runway and not radio-equipped, must have a manned, radioequipped vehicle nearby to monitor the appropriate radio and relay Tower instructions. Personnelwill report when off the runway and further permission obtained from Tower before reentry. In theevent personnel must be recalled from the runway area, and normal communications cannot beused, Tower will warn all parties by blinking the runway lights or taxiway lights. All vehicles willexit the runway immediately by means of the nearest hard surface and maintain at least 100 feetfrom the runway edge. Emergency flashers will be turned off after exiting the controlled move-ment area.

8.7.3.1. Two-way radio communication with the Tower is also required when driving on theperimeter road through the south-end approach lights and entering the north-end perimeterroad near the main gate.

8.8. Operating Vehicles on the Airfield. Personnel requiring runway access or access inside the PARcritical areas will contact Tower prior to entering those areas.

8.8.1. Crew buses will proceed to and from aircraft parking only by established routes.

8.8.2. Bicycles may be operated on the taxiway F and taxiway L outside of the taxiway lights.Bicycles may also be operated on all parking aprons including restricted areas.

8.8.3. When snow removal equipment is on the runway, a control vehicle will maintain radio con-tact with Tower. The control vehicle ("Snow 3") will be responsible for clearance of all equipmenton and off the runway. When directed to clear the runway, the control vehicle will immediatelyclear all equipment off the runway then notify Tower.

8.9. Taxiing Aircraft. No vehicle will stop or drive in the path of taxiing aircraft except "Follow Me"vehicles. No vehicles will drive between an aircraft and its "Follow Me" vehicle.

8.10. Approaching Aircraft. All vehicles will approach a parked aircraft so that the operator's side isadjacent to the aircraft. At no time except in certain backing operations, will you drive your vehicle orequipment directly toward a parked aircraft. Except for servicing operations, no vehicle will drivecloser than 25 feet to the front or 200 feet to the rear of an aircraft when engines are running or aboutto be started. The distance increases to 500 feet when operating behind an aircraft with engines run-ning at full thrust.

8.11. Parked Aircraft. Motorized vehicles will not pass under any part of an aircraft. Vehicles will notbe backed toward an aircraft unless wheel chocks are prepositioned (except a TM-1800 Deicer) and aguide posted to prevent the vehicle from backing into an aircraft.

354FWI13-202 26 APRIL 2001 9

8.12. Emergency, Alert, and Exercise Operations. During an aircraft accident or incident, all vehiclesnot directly involved with the situation will immediately leave the flightline ramp area as soon as pos-sible. Vehicles will stop and yield the right-of-way to all emergency and alert response vehicles.

8.13. Vehicle Lights. Drivers will not approach the front of a moving aircraft at night, however if thisis unavoidable, position the vehicle well clear of the intended taxi route. Use parking lights only, untilthe aircraft has passed, so that the pilot's night vision will not be impaired. Headlights will be turnedon 1/2 hour prior to sunset until 1/2 hour after sunrise, and during periods of inclement weather orreduced visibility. All VCOs and VCNCOs that have vehicles with Daytime Running Lights (DRLs)operating on Eielson’s flightline need to ensure proper operating procedures. The DRLs cannot beturned off by simply switching off the headlights, they can be turned off by stopping the vehicle, shift-ing to the “park” position, and applying the parking brake. This action will turn the DRLs off, and therest of the lights will function as normal. Proper procedures on the flightline would be for the operatorto park in a safe position, turn on the emergency flashers, place the vehicle in park and set the parkingbrake. The DRLs will go off and the flashers will operate normally. Vehicle operators should reviewthe vehicle operating manual to ensure proper procedures are followed.

8.14. Flightline Parking:

8.14.1. Designated Parking Areas. Vehicles parked in designated parking areas are not required tobe chocked. The designated parking area is located on Lima Row between buildings 1215 and1223.

8.14.2. Other than Designated Parking Areas. When parking any wheeled equipment or vehicleon the flightline and when leaving the driver's seat unattended, the following applies:

8.14.2.1. Engine will be turned off except at 0° Fahrenheit (F) or colder.

8.14.2.2. Select reverse (standard) or park (automatic).

8.14.2.3. Hand or parking brake will be set (except at 32° F or colder). If the vehicle orwheeled equipment is not equipped with an integral braking system or the temperature is 32o

F or colder, secure with chocks placed at the vehicle’s rear wheels. Rope chocks may be usedyear round. Wood chocks will only be authorized 1 May to 1 October.

8.14.2.4. All motor vehicles will use emergency flashers when parked on the flightline duringthe hours of darkness or inclement weather.

8.14.2.5. Vehicles will be left unlocked with keys in the vehicle.

8.14.2.6. Do not park closer than 25 feet in front of any aircraft or within 200 feet to the rearof jet aircraft in operation or about to be.

8.14.2.7. Use Flightline Avenue instead of the main taxiway, when possible.

8.14.2.8. Never park a vehicle pointed at an aircraft. Chocks will be used at all times by vehi-cles within the 10-foot safety distance requirement.

8.15. Do not park or pre-position vehicles in the adjacent refueling pits while aircraft are being taxiedor towed into the pit complex. Exception: Emergency vehicles (at the site of an emergency) may beleft unattended with engine running (for required power equipment), but must select park or neutral,set hand brake, and use chocks.

10 354FWI13-202 26 APRIL 2001

8.15.1. "Follow Me" Vehicles. These vehicles will have signs, "STOP" and "FOLLOW ME."Vehicles will also be equipped with two-way radios. Tugs/tractors will not be used as "Follow Me"vehicles at anytime.

8.15.2. Aircraft Refueling and Servicing Trucks. When approaching an aircraft to be fueled ordefueled by truck, the operator will approach the aircraft parallel to the wings (except in instanceswhere single point locations of the aircraft require a different approach). Fuel trucks will not beparked closer than 20 feet to the aircraft fuel intake and/or air vents, nor within 10 feet of any partof the aircraft. Driving under or parked under any part of an aircraft is prohibited. In case of anemergency, the driver's door will be left ajar while servicing aircraft.

NOTE: Extreme caution is required on the backside of the loop when parked aircraft are present due todisplaced taxi line.

8.15.3. Loading and Unloading Aircraft. Drivers of vehicles used for aircraft loading or unloadingoperations will be fully qualified. Guides, with wheel chocks already in place, will be used duringsuch operations.

8.15.4. Aircraft Towing. The tow vehicle will be driven by an authorized and qualified driver.There will be a qualified person in the aircraft cockpit to provide braking action during all towingoperations of fixed wing aircraft if brakes are operative, chock walkers will be used if brakes areinoperative. Aircraft will not be towed at more than 5 miles per hour. Wing walkers will be usedduring towing operations, when required.

8.16. Distance Criteria. Required distance criteria of obstacles (mobile/fixed), i.e., fire bottles, lightcarts, power carts, stairs, etc., left unattended on parking aprons and taxiways are:

8.16.1. Parking Aprons - 125 feet from pavement edge.

8.16.2. Taxiways - 200 feet from centerline.

8.16.3. Ground support equipment may be pre-staged no earlier than 3 hours prior to the arrival ofan aircraft.

8.16.4. Equipment will be removed as soon as possible after use.

8.17. Foreign Object Damage (FOD) Prevention:

8.17.1. Vehicles are a major source of foreign objects that damage aircraft tires and are ingestedinto jet engines with disastrous results. Before operating a vehicle on the flightline the operatorwill stow and secure all equipment. Drivers will stop when reaching the airfield pavement andremove any rocks that are wedged between tire treads. Exceptions: Special use vehicles basedupon tire tread design, such as forklifts, etc. Security Forces, firefighters, and ambulance driverswhen responding to emergencies. All airfield maintenance vehicles, e.g., snow plows/ brooms,vacuum sweepers, will be visually checked on a periodic basis for lost parts that may have beendropped on the flightline. The vehicle operator will retrace the route searching for the lost part.

8.17.2. Tire Chains. Tire chains will not be used on the airfield except on aircraft tow vehicleswhen necessary to ensure safe movement of aircraft, with prior coordination with Airfield Man-agement.

8.18. Access Roads. Vehicle operations are restricted to paved access roads except in the case of anaircraft emergency.

FLIGHTLINE OPERATIONS BRIEFING

1. Complete flightline operations instructions are contained in 354 FWI 13-202, available from Airfield Management or any VCO/VCNCO. It is also available for download on the 354 FW Electronic Publish-ing Library (http://www.eielson.af.mil/Pubs/Eiepubs.htm).

2. The Chief, Airfield Management (377-3233) will be notified whenever construction efforts require pas-sage through or operations on the airfield surface, including taxiways and perimeter roads, and especially in movement areas. Before any vehicle enters any area of the flightline (other than the flightline road described below) an operator MUST coordinate activities with Airfield Management. Failure to do so will result in your being detained by security officials.

3. As construction agents/vendors, you will not drive, park, pass, or even think about being any closer than 25 feet from any aircraft at any time.

4. The Air Force calls any surface where aircraft may travel, land, or park the “movement area.” Only part of this area is radio controlled. This briefing is not to acquaint you with radio-controlled areas or proce-dures (in the event you require access to these areas, you will be briefed on procedures either by or in the presence of either the airfield manager or designated representative). Your operations in the “movement area” include knowing the definition of the “movement area.”

5. Give way to emergency vehicles of any type, or to any vehicle that appears to be in a hurry to get some-where.

6. The speed limit on the flightline is 15 mph and if you are within 50 feet of an aircraft, the speed limit is 5 mph.

7. Check and remove rocks and other debris from each tire prior to entering the flightline.

8. To gain official access to a work site requiring access to or across any movement area, report to Base Operations, building 1215. State your business, location of work, duration expected for that day, and num-ber of vehicles and people. Include any towed equipment of special purpose vehicles. You will receive a FLIGHTLINE AUTHORIZED placard (354 FW Form 11), which will be displayed on the drivers side windshield of your vehicle.

9. Always give way to moving aircraft; even if it means driving off into grassed areas (remember to check each tire for rocks and debris). Pay attention to your rear view mirror – It’s easy to have an aircraft approach while you’re watching or waiting for another aircraft.

10. Before entering the flightline, be sure tools, equipment, and other materials are securely stowed and/or covered. There is no tolerance for debris or foreign objects on the airfield. If a single coffee cup blows out of your truck, you are expected to retrieve it.

11. Keys will be left in the ignition of any vehicle parked on the flightline. When unoccupied, vehicles will be left in Park or Reverse (manual transmission) and the parking brake set. Vehicles/equipment not equipped with a parking brake will be chocked. All vehicles will be chocked when the temperature is 32oF or colder (do not set parking brake).

12. All vehicles will have lights on from dusk to dawn, and during periods of inclement weather. An exception is when your vehicle faces an aircraft with operating engines – switch to parking lights tempo-rarily.

http://www.eielson.af.mil/Pubs/Eiepubs.htm

16 354FWI13-202 26 APRIL 2001

13. If you park on the movement area pavement, you will use your emergency flashers until you resume driving – remember to leave keys in the ignition.

14. Do no drive or park closer than 25’ in front of an operating aircraft – do not follow a moving aircraft closer than 200’.

15. Finally – NEVER CROSS THE RED LINE OR STANTION DENOTING A RESTRICTED AREA. CROSSING THIS LINE EVEN FOR A MOMENT WILL CAUSE AN UNPLEASANT PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND POSSIBLE TERMINATION OF YOUR WORK. DO NOT CROSS IT EVEN ON FOOT OR TO ASK QUESTIONS OR DIRECTIONS! In the event your best fishing hat blows into the area, or some debris blows off your truck into the area, proceed back to building 1215 and describe the problem.

This instruction implements AFPD 21-1, Managing Aerospace Equipment Maintenance, and

establishes wing FOD prevention committee participants. It identifies responsibilities not

already identified in CAF 21-101 specific to the effectiveness of the 354 FW FOD

prevention program. It is used in conjunction with AFI 21-101, Maintenance Management of

Aircraft, and CAF 21-101, Aircraft Maintenance Organization and Procedures, AFI 21-101

354FW_SUP, Aerospace equipment Maintenance Management. It is applicable to all 354th

Fighter Wing assigned and tenant units to the extent of their responsibilities as addressed. Ensure

that all records created as a result of processes prescribed in this publication are maintained in

accordance with Air Force Manual (AFMAN) 33-363, Management of Records, and disposed of

in accordance with Air Force Records Information Management System (AFRIMS) Records

Disposition Schedule (RDS) located at https://www.my.af.mil/afrims/afrims/afrims/rims.cfm

1. General. The high cost of damage to equipment and injury to USAF personnel dictates that

all commanders and supervisors strictly comply with FOD prevention directives. Foreign object

(FO) removal is the first step in FOD prevention. Annual briefings will be documented by the

responsible organization.

2. Responsibilities

2.1. Table 1 lists those individuals appointed as members of the wing FOD prevention

committee. Personnel occupying these positions or their alternates will attend all meetings.

2.2. A FOD bulletin board is kept at all maintenance locations and all workcenters with

assigned personnel that access the airfield. One centrally located board may cover all shops

located in a single building. Placement is at the discretion of the individual shop, but the

location must provide the greatest visual access to personnel. The squadrons are responsible

for obtaining and maintaining the bulletin board. The space on the bulletin board may be

shared provided the following items are displayed

2.2.1. Most recent FOD GRAM published by the wing FOD prevention monitor.

2.2.2. FOD prevention point of contact visual aid.

2.2.3. Posters, pictures, and other items pertaining to FOD prevention. To include the

most current FOD poster published by the wing FOD prevention monitor.

3. General FOD Prevention Practices:

3.1. Flightline Vehicle FOD Prevention:

3.1.1. The FOD prevention representative for Airfield Management will ensure the

drivers’ training program stresses the importance of FOD prevention and control

applicable to vehicle operations on the flightline.

3.1.2. Vehicles will only access the aircraft parking areas, taxiways and runway by entry

points approved by Airfield Management. FOD checks will be accomplished on vehicles

and towed trailers or equipment at these entry points prior to entering the airfield. If

leaving a paved surface becomes necessary, re-check all tires for debris before re-

entering. Debris will be deposited in vehicle FOD cans or tossed to the side, clear of the

pavement area. Do not leave removed debris on access road! Security forces and

Airfield Management will assist in monitoring for compliance of FOD tire checks. FOD

checks will be accomplished by inspecting and removing FOD from all tires, then starting

the vehicle and rolling forward to expose the area of tires that were on the bottom. Then

re-inspect the tires and remove debris prior to entering the airfield. If the driver remains

in the vehicle while other personnel perform the FOD check, the driver will place the

vehicle in park rather than keep his/her foot on the brake.

354FWI 21-135 11 JANUARY 2012 3

3.1.3. Any item lost or suspected lost on the airfield will be reported to Airfield

Management or Maintenance Operations Center (MOC). MOC and Airfield

Management will notify the other office if a lost item is reported to them.

3.1.4. Fire department personnel will ensure a FOD check is completed on all vehicles

on standby status in the fire station bays. Vehicles returning to the fire station or airfield

taxiways from unpaved or broken pavement areas will have a FOD check performed by

the vehicle operator.

3.1.5. Except for emergency response vehicles, magnets are required on all pickup, step

van and AGE bobtail vehicles used daily on the flightline. Magnets will be used year

round and will hang with a 3 to 5-inch clearance from pavement surface. When snow

accumulation exceeds clearance, the magnet will be flipped up and stuck to bumper or

removed until snow is swept or plowed. Vehicles utilizing magnets will add "remove

debris from magnet" to an available "other" block on AF Form 1800/1806, Operator’s

Inspection Guide and Trouble Report.

3.1.6. FOD picking tools and a serviceable flashlight are mandatory for all vehicles that

operate on the flightline. In addition, all FOD picking tools and flashlights will be etched

with the vehicle ID number. FOD picking tools and flashlights will be annotated on the

vehicle’s AF Form 1800/1806. Security forces vehicles will be exempt from having to

maintain a flashlight in their vehicles due to their requirement to have one on their person

during daily execution of their duties.

3.1.7. All items permanently assigned to a vehicle (seasonal or not) will be marked with

the vehicle ID number and annotated on the vehicle’s AF Form 1800/1806 to ensure

accountability. Equipment originally provided with a vehicle is exempt from this

requirement, such as owner’s manuals, vehicle jacks and others. Vehicle rope chocks

are exempt from the marking requirement. When not in use, chocks will be stored inside

the vehicle or in the truck bed/tool box. If lost or misplaced, these items will be reported

in accordance with lost tool/items procedures and annotated on a CAF 145.

3.1.8. FOD containers must be secured to the vehicle in a manner that would prevent the

container from tipping over while the vehicle is in motion. The lid must be secured to

prevent the container from inadvertently opening. The FOD container will be listed on

the 1800/1806 if not permanently affixed to the vehicle. “Empty FOD container daily”

will be added to an available “Other” block on the AF Form 1800/1806.

3.1.9. All pintle hooks will have cotter pin installed whether open or closed, and pin will

be secured to vehicle or support equipment by means of chain or wire rope.

3.1.10. Due to composition of Eielson AFB taxiways, studded tires will not be used and

tire chain usage should be minimized. Airfield Management will determine when the use

of chains is authorized.

3.1.11. Metal valve stem caps are not authorized on any flightline vehicle or support

equipment. Metal valve caps will be dispose of and replaced with plastic caps.

3.2. Individual responsibilities:

3.2.1. Maintenance personnel will police up their work areas prior to leaving the job site

for any reason.

4 354FWI 21-135 11 JANUARY 2012

3.2.2. Maintenance personnel may wear FOD pouches while on the flightline.

3.2.3. Except for issue type winter headwear worn during cold weather operations, hats

will not be worn on the flightline. When winter headwear is worn, extreme care will be

exercised around operating aircraft engines to prevent ingestion. Security forces

personnel are authorized beret wear except within 50 feet of operating engines.

4. Composite Tool Kit (CTK) Procedures:

4.1. These procedures apply to non-aircraft maintenance units (18 AGRS, 353 CTS, LRS,

CS, and CE) within the 354 FW. Squadron commanders in each organization are responsible

for compliance with this instruction. 354th Maintenance Group units and assigned personnel

will adhere to CTK procedures outlined in AFI 21-101, CAF_Sup1 and 354FW_Sup1

Consolidated Tool Kit (CTK) Program. Visiting units will provide tool control procedures to

Wing FOD manager for approval prior to arrival.

4.2. The primary objective of the CTK program is to eliminate damage to aircraft and

equipment due to lost or misplaced tools, and to reduce tool associated costs. These

procedures will apply to CTKs used on facilities, vehicles, or equipment associated with the

flightline.

4.3. Responsibilities:

4.3.1. Flight OIC/NCOICs will:

4.3.1.1. Be responsible for the overall management of the CTK program within their

respective flights.

4.3.1.2. Incorporate a locally developed CTK inspection checklist into their self-

inspection program to cover applicable CTKs.

4.3.2. Tool room supervisors and primary/alternate CTK custodians will:

4.3.2.1. Develop a master inventory list (MIL) for each applicable CTK. The listing

will have as a minimum: tool nomenclature, quantity, serial number/TMDE number,

total amount of tools in each drawer, and total amount of tools/items in the kit. The

MIL will account for as separate items the key, chain, locks, cables, and FO bags.

4.3.2.2. Perform CTK inventory inspections every 6 months (annual for mobility

equipment) or when CTK custodian changes. Inspections will be documented on AF

Form 2411 Inspection Document or in TAS if used.

4.3.2.3. Ensure a unique identification and numbering system for CTKs is developed

for each section, see AFI21-101_354FWSUP.

4.3.2.4. Ensure personal use equipment (i.e. ear defenders, reflective belts) is marked

with the owners first initial, last name, and employee number (i.e. J. Doe 12345). If

the owner does not have an employee number, mark equipment with first initial, last

name, and work center (i.e. J. Doe CEOH)

4.3.2.5. Exchange broken or damaged tools one for one. Document all

missing/removed tools on MIL. Lost tools will be reissued and accounted for on

CAF Form 145.

4.3.3. Individual Users will:

354FWI 21-135 11 JANUARY 2012 5

4.3.3.1. Be responsible for the security, cleanliness, and accountability of the CTK or

tools they have been assigned.

4.3.3.2. Inventory CTKs immediately prior to and after each job on the flightline.

4.3.3.3. Report any lost tools to the work center supervisor immediately.

4.3.3.4. Report damaged or unserviceable tool(s) to the tool room supervisor or

primary/alternate CTK monitor.

4.3.3.5. Remove all foreign objects (FO) prior to CTK turn-in.

4.4. CTK and Tool Markings:

4.4.1. Applicable CTKs and associated tools will be legibly marked with a unique alpha-

numeric code identifying the squadron, flight, and number of the kit (including locks,

keys, and FOD bags). Security cables and padlocks (if not attached) will be etched or

marked with CTK number and added to the content list for the CTK.

4.4.2. Tool kits will be stenciled with legible letters indicating kit number.

4.4.3. Tools will have the CTK number etched on them. When the CTK number cannot

be etched on the tool due to size or hardness of the tool, it will be accounted for during kit

inventory by checking to make sure all inlay or shadow positions are filled. Tools with

removable pieces will be etched, issued, and returned as one unit. Detachable pieces

which do not affect the operation of the item (i.e., flashlight and screwdriver clip rings)

will be removed.

4.4.4. Subkits of CTKs (allen wrench sets, file sets, drill bit sets, helicoil subkits, etc.)

will be stored as a "set" in a pouch or container. The pouch or container will be marked

with the CTK identification number and the number of tools it contains (including the

container).

4.4.5. The corners of the dispatchable CTKs will have reflective tape for night visibility.

4.4.6. Consumable items (safety wire, lubricants, erasers, and teflon tape) in CTKs will

be marked and listed on the tool kit inventory.

4.5. Control and Issue Inventory Procedures:

4.5.1. Control:

4.5.1.1. Dispatchable CTKs will not be left unlocked or unsecured. However, they

will not be attached to any part of an aircraft, AGE, or vehicle exterior or left attached

or secured at any location which would hinder aircraft, equipment, vehicle, or

personnel movement.

mini-mag, flashlights, etc.).

354FWI 21-135 11 JANUARY 2012 7

5. Specific FOD Prevention Practices:

5.1. Air Intake Inspection:

5.1.1. Anti-personnel guards and bell-mouth screens will be inspected for FOD and

serviceability prior to engine run. This pre-use inspection will be documented on the

AFTO Form 781A on a Red X entry. When the inspection is signed off, the run screen

number will be included in the Corrective Action block. This will be accomplished prior

to engine start.

5.1.2. Post engine run (ground or flight) inspections will be accomplished as soon as

possible, even if the engine is scheduled for removal. Any damage found will be

reported to the wing FOD prevention monitor.

5.1.3. A minimum light source for air intake inspections will be an approved high

intensity flashlight. (Mag-Lite or equivalent).

5.1.4. Bird strike damage to engines is not considered FOD, but must be investigated and

documented to preclude the wing from being charged with a FOD incident.

5.1.5. Any engine damage noted will be reported to the wing FOD prevention monitor or

alternate.

5.1.6. An engine intake FOD inspection will be accomplished before and after all engine

motorings as well as those required by current instructions and technical orders. If the

aircraft engine(s) is/are being operated by a pilot and the aircraft engine(s) is/are shut

down for maintenance, an intake inspection does not need to be accomplished if the pilot

remains in the cockpit. If the aircraft was shut down after taxiing, and the pilot leaves the

cockpit, an intake inspection must be accomplished prior to subsequent engine start.

5.2. Safety Pins:

5.2.1. Aircraft/weapons safety pins will not be left unsecured on aircraft parking

ramp/movement areas at any time.

5.2.2. All F-16 aircraft ground safety pins, except SUU/TER pins, will be attached to the

streamer by a brazed, welded, or silver soldered retaining ring. (Note: If P/N 19-100C

ring is utilized, brazing requirement is optional). Streamers attached to nose landing

gear, EPU, and gun pins will be at least 8 but not longer than 12 inches. These pins will

not have swedged cables attached. The flying squadrons will be responsible for

maintaining pins in proper configuration while installed on aircraft. Gun and EPU safing

pin retaining ring part number is IT324, NSN 5300-00-825-3915.

5.3. Protective Covers.

5.3.1. Covers (engine intake/exhaust, pitot, and ejection seat(s)) are to be installed

whether aircraft is sheltered or not.

5.4. Panel Removal:

5.4.1. Screw bags or foam templates will be on hand prior to removing any

screws/fasteners from the aircraft. Screws will be controlled in a screw bag or the foam

template as removed, not after each panel removal is complete.

8 354FWI 21-135 11 JANUARY 2012

5.4.2. If a panel is tacked on the aircraft, attaching hardware will be put in a screw bag

and attached to the outside of the panel. If the panel is not tacked on the aircraft, a screw

bag must be labeled with aircraft tail number and attached to the removed item.

5.5. FOD Walks:

5.5.1. Fighter squadrons and TDY units will ensure FOD walks are accomplished at the

start of each flying day and during the day as needed in their assigned aircraft parking

areas, hangaring spaces, and the taxiways adjacent to them. FOD prevention in areas

assigned to the 168 ARW will be performed IAW 168 Air Refueling Wing Instruction

21-101.

5.5.2. End of runway (EOR) crews will conduct a FOD walk of the arm and de-arm areas

prior to aircraft taxi.

5.5.3. Maintainers will perform a FOD walk under/around aircraft after they perform

maintenance or inspections.

5.5.4. Maintenance squadron will be responsible for FOD walks around their

maintenance facilities adjacent to aircraft taxiways. Transient Alert will be responsible

for the areas occupied by transient aircraft.

5.5.5. The fire chief will ensure ramp access from fire station to main taxiway is

inspected daily and remains FOD free.

Para 10.8.1.9 for instructions.

5.8.2. If a foreign object falls into an inaccessible area on a piece of equipment, not

involving aircraft, the maintenance officer, wing FOD prevention monitor, and QA chief

inspector will be consulted. If they agree there is no possibility of the item damaging a

system or other equipment by remaining in or falling out of the unit, the object may

remain in equipment.

5.9. ce FOD Alert Procedures:

5.9.1. The Weather Flight will notify Command Post (CP) and base agencies of an ice

FOD alert by Joint Environment Tool Kit (JET) or New Tactical Forecast System (N-

TFS). If maintenance personnel suspect ice FOD conditions, they will inform the

production superintendent who will confirm and notify the MOC. Ice FOD alerts will be

sent as observed weather advisories and updated as required.

5.9.2. F-16 atmospheric conditions for ice FOD are when the temperature is less than 45°

Fahrenheit with precipitation, standing water, snow, or ice on the ground in the proximity

of the inlet and/or a dew point between 25° and 35° Fahrenheit with a temperature/dew

point spread of less than 9 degrees.

5.9.2.1. Upon notification of an ice FOD alert, only the AMXS commander,

squadron maintenance officer/superintendent, AMU OIC/NCOIC or Production

Supervisors will approve maintenance ground runs for F-16 aircraft engines. Engine

anti-personnel screens will not be used under ice FOD alert or conditions. Instead, a

qualified individual will be safely positioned to observe for inlet ice buildup. This

individual will be in clear view of the run supervisor at all times in order to signal for

immediate shutdown should ice form on the inlet lip.

5.9.3. After an aircraft engine has been shut down for inlet icing, the observer will

immediately notify the expediter or production superintendent, who will notify the MOC

to announce an ice FOD alert.

5.9.4. The CP will notify the following when an ice FOD alert is initiated or terminated:

5.9.4.1. Wing or vice wing commander

5.9.4.2. Operations group commander

5.9.4.3. Supervisor of flying (SOF)

5.9.4.4. Control tower

5.9.4.5. All flying squadrons

5.9.4.6. MOC

5.9.5. The SOF will coordinate with tower personnel prior to their issuing clearance to

taxi during ice FOD alert conditions. Ice FOD alerts will be placed on the Automated

Terminal Information System (ATIS) as they occur.

10 354FWI 21-135 11 JANUARY 2012

5.9.6. Squadrons will ensure their pilots are aware of an ice FOD alert prior to flight via

locally established procedures.

5.9.7. Air traffic control operations will incorporate the ice FOD alert into the ATIS.

5.9.8. Fighter squadron commanders will ensure all pilots comply with the engine anti-

ice procedures found in the following: 1F-16C-1 (Flight Manual); AFI 11-2F-16 Vol.

3_354 OG Sup 1, F-16 Pilot Operational Procedures; and this instruction. If “inlet icing”

light illuminates while aircraft is on the ground, a visual inspection must be accomplished

prior to taxiing or takeoff. If in-flight or ground icing is encountered, pilots will make an

informational entry in the AFTO Forms 781A. If aircraft icing greater than trace is

detected after flight, notify production super of the situation and a determination will be

made by supervision to taxi the aircraft to parking or to shut down and tow to parking.

Consideration will be given as to the most expeditious manner of engine shut down. Any

chunking of ice on the aircraft is cause for immediate shut down. For cross-country

flights, the pilot will brief transient maintenance on the possibility of inlet ice formation

when the ambient temperature is less than 45° Fahrenheit. If any-time inlet icing has

occurred, the aircraft will be shut down and the occurrence will be documented in the

aircraft forms.

5.10. Airfield Sweeping:

5.10.1. The Civil Engineer Operations Flight is the office of primary responsibility for

implementing and following the sweeping plan. Airfield Management is responsible for

inspecting and reporting of FOD to the Operations Flight. Airfield Management has the

authority to establish flightline sweeping priorities to facilitate aircraft operations or to

expedite the cleanup of a serious FOD hazard. The flightline sweepers will follow the

general guidelines set in the sweeping plan when priorities are not established by Airfield

Management.

5.10.2. Flightline sweepers will operate and respond to Airfield Management sweeping

requests 24 hours per day during the summer months. Airfield Management sweeping

requests are considered to be a priority. If more than one request is generated, Airfield

Management will prioritize the requests. The Operations Flight will notify Airfield

Management when flightline sweepers are down for maintenance or any reason they

cannot respond to a sweeping request within 15 minutes. Sweeper operators should make

every effort to cover all surfaces of taxiways and runway, not just yellow taxi lines. The

following is EAFB sweeper schedule for non-winter conditions:

5.10.2.1. Every weekday prior to generation of aircraft and after last downs:

5.10.2.1.1. All primary taxiway centerlines double-pass each side of yellow taxi

line.

5.10.2.1.2. All operational airfield vehicle access/entry points

5.10.2.1.3. F-16 aircraft parking area, including A, B, C, D rows, front and back

loop parking spots.

5.10.3. Sweeper drivers may exercise discretion and deviate from this plan if they

discover a potential FOD hazard elsewhere on the airfield that requires immediate

attention. If the FOD hazard is significant, contact Airfield Management so they can

temporarily close that area to taxiing aircraft.

5.10.4. Sweep runway, runway edges and barrier shoulders upon Airfield Management

request. Exercise caution when operating near barrier cables.

5.10.5. Maintain a 25-foot distance from parked aircraft and avoid jet blast. When ramps

are full of aircraft, (i.e., RED FLAG Alaska) skip that area and move to the next available

area. Return to the skipped area as soon as possible and sweep it accordingly.
