CHAPTER 5
SITE OPERATIONS
5-1.
Plan Requirements.
a. OB/OD operations will not take place without an approved Work Plan, ESS, and
SSHP. The plans prepared for these operations will be reviewed for compliance with Federal,
state, and local laws and regulations involving destruction of OE. Plans that are not in continuous
use and have not been used within the previous six months will be reviewed prior to the start of
any OB/OD operations.
b. All personnel working within the personnel separation distance will comply with the
requirements of the Work Plan, SSHP, and ESS.
5-2.
Maps. Furnish the following maps.
a. Site map. Furnish an overall map of the site showing the following:
(1) The OE areas.
(2) The location of any magazines to be used for the storage of demolition explosives
and/or recovered OE.
(3) The location of any planned or established demolition areas to be used to destroy
recovered OE.
b. Quantity-Distance (Q-D) Maps. The Q-D map and the site map may be shown on the
same map. Scaled maps, 1-inch equals not more than 400 feet are preferred. A smaller scale is
acceptable if distances can be accurately shown. Provide Q-D map(s) for the following areas (it is
possible that more than one map will be needed to show everything in sufficient detail).
(1) Each OE area to be cleared.
(2) The location of magazines for the storage of demolition explosives and/or recovered
OE.
(3) Areas planned or established for the intentional detonation or burning of OE will have
a PSD associated with them. Show each area and the PSD around it (an example is shown in
figure 5-1). Identify every inhabited building, occupied area, and public (those not supporting the
clearance operation) exposure inside the PSD. Describe measures to be taken to
eliminate/mitigate risk for exposures within the PSD/PWD (example: evacuation of inhabited
buildings, blocking off public highways).
c. Encroaching Q-D's. Some project sites are too small to locate the OB/OD areas so
that their PSDs do not encroach on other OE areas (work area, other OB area, or other OD
area/pit). Figure 5-2 shows an example of such a case. As shown, the PSD for the OB area
