HTRW MCX in accordance with the current approved HTRW responsibilities matrix. The Work
Plan and design documents (HSDA and SSHP) will be submitted to the OE MCX for review.
The ESS will be submitted to the OE MCX for comments and written concurrence or
nonconcurrence. The OE MCX will forward the ESS to CESO for monitoring, concurrence, and
forwarding to higher headquarters for approval. The cleanup will not begin until the DDESB or
their designee approves the ESS. The OE MCX should be contacted for further information on
ESS requirements.
(4) When the concentration of secondary explosives is determined to be less than ten
percent, the HTRW Design District will prepare and submit documents for review and approval
in accordance with the current approved HTRW responsibilities matrix and ER 385-1-92.
d. Unexpected Ordnance Finds. If military munitions (excluding bulk explosives) are
discovered during any phase of the explosive soils remediation, field work will cease and the OE
MCX will be contacted. The OE MCX will assess the situation and consult with the HTRW
MCX and the OE project team to determine the appropriate course of action to take in
completing the project.
23-3. Anomaly Avoidance/UXO Support During Construction Activities.
a. General.
(1) Anomaly Avoidance. Anomaly avoidance refers to techniques employed by EOD or
UXO personnel at sites with known or suspected OE to avoid any potential surface UXO and any
subsurface anomalies. This usually occurs at mixed hazard sites when HTRW investigations
must occur prior to execution of an OE removal action. All surface UXO and subsurface
anomalies will be avoided during investigation activities. Intrusive anomaly investigation is not
authorized during anomaly avoidance operations, but any surface ordnance discovered will be
noted so that later operations can readily find them. Contact the OE MCX for additional
information on team composition, activity specific procedures, and quality management
requirements for anomaly avoidance.
(2) Construction Activities. Construction projects on known or suspected OE sites may
require UXO support. When a determination is made that the probability of encountering UXO
is low (e.g., current or previous land use leads to an initial determination that OE may be
present), a two person UXO team will stand by in case the construction contractor encounters a
suspected UXO. When a determination is made that the probability of encountering a UXO is
moderate to high (current or previous land use leads to a determination that OE was employed or
disposed of in the parcel of concern, e.g., open burn and open detonation areas, impact areas,
maneuver areas, etc.), UXO teams are required to conduct subsurface UXO clearance for the
known construction footprint in conjunction with the construction contractor prior to
construction intrusive activities. The level of effort for construction support will be determined
