(f) The UXO Technician I is authorized to perform the functions listed above. The UXO
Technician I will not determine whether or not a UXO is safe to move.
(g) UXO sweep personnel will not excavate anomalies or handle UXO. They are limited
to the functions listed in paragraph 20-4b(5). If these personnel are performing required work,
they may remain in the exclusion zone during anomaly investigation.
(2) CWM Investigations and Removal Actions.
(a) A full time UXOSO will be present during all field operations on a CWM project site
due to the complex hazards posed by CWM. UXO qualifications for the safety officer are not
required for sites where CWM is in Chemical Agent Identification Sets, shipping containers, or
other non-munition type containers.
(b) A full time UXOQCS will be used for all CWM field operations. This requirement
may be relaxed if a written request, citing actual site conditions, is submitted to the Contracting
Officer for approval.
20-6. Explosives Safety. The contractor will be required to comply with DOD 6055.9-STD; AR
385-64; U.S. Army TM 60 series publications on EOD procedures; ER 385-1-92; and ATF P
5400.7 for all matters/operations involving OE. The contractor will be required to design and
implement a site-specific Explosives Management Plan in accordance with OE MCX DID OE-
005-03, which is located on the OE MCX website at http://www.hnd.usace.army.mil/oew. This
requirement should be identified in the basic contract.
20-7. Exclusion Zone Safety.
a. General. When OE operations are being conducted, only personnel essential for the
operation will be allowed in the exclusion zone. The number of people in the exclusion zone
must be restricted to the minimum number consistent with safe and efficient operations and
include only those personnel directly engaged in the tasks being performed.
b. Establishing Exclusion Zones. An exclusion zone is a safety zone around an OE work
area. Each UXO contractor will establish an exclusion zone to protect the public and non-
essential personnel from unintentional detonations and all personnel from intentional detonations
of ordnance.
(1) To the maximum extent practical, OE projects will be executed based on minimum
separation distances specified in DOD 6055.9-STD. Contact the OE MCX for the criteria to be
used in calculating minimum separation distances for OE operations.
(2) Where minimum separation distances are not practical, only engineering controls that
have been approved by DDESB will be used.
