4.0 PROCEDURE
3.1 Discussion:
The jet engine test cell facility operations utilize JP-5 fuel and generate Mil-L-23699 waste oil, and JP-5 waste
fuel. These materials must be managed properly to avoid impacts to human health and the environment.
Waste oil generated by this practice is run through an oil-water separator prior to being accumulated and stored
in waste oil drums. Storage drums for waste oil and waste fuel are maintained at the Division HAZMAT
Center. All hazardous materials must be stored in appropriate, approved containers. Units are equipped with
approved containers and aboveground storage tanks (ASTs), as necessary. Units should contact the
Environmental Management Department (EMD) for replacement of or to request additional containers.
3.2 Operational Controls:
The following procedures apply:
1. Ensure that Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for JP-5 fuel, Mil-L-23699 oil and all other materials
associated with this practice are available and current.
2. Ensure that the operation manual NAVY-AL-F404A-MMI-200 for the F404 engine series is available and
is in a designated location known to all shop personnel.
3. Ensure that records of all required training and certifications are current and available for inspection.
4. Ensure turnover folder information is kept for this ESOP and available for inspection.
5. Wear appropriate protective personal equipment (PPE) for the task being performed, such as: eye
protection, hearing protection, respirators, chemical–resistant clothing, gloves, steel-toed boots and hard
hats.
6. Keep a fully stocked spill kit nearby in a designated location known to all personnel and located near any
potential hazardous areas.
7. Keep fire extinguishers readily accessible and near potential hazardous areas.
8. Ensure that all required permits are current and available for inspection (e.g. operating permit,
etc.).
9. Limit the operation of the T-26 test cell to testing the APU, and the main test cell to testing F-18 aircraft
series 404 engines (models 400 and 402).
10. Report total engine hours annually to EMD.
11. Ensure the fuel supply truck or fuel containers are grounded during refueling operations.
12. Ensure that total fuel consumption and number of engines tested is recorded for each test cell.
13. Inspect secondary containment and drainage valves to ensure they are free of leaks and in the
fully closed position.
14. Document daily inspections of tanks and weekly inspections of storage areas in an inspection log book.
15. Ensure that all inspection records are maintained and available for inspection for three years.
16. Ensure that all usable hazardous materials (oil, grease, paint) are stored in the hazardous materials
(HAZMAT) lockers at the division HAZMAT storage site.
17. Properly label all containers completely and legibly with the following information: the words “Hazardous
Waste”, accumulation start date, and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hazardous waste (HW)
number (e.g. D003).
18. Ensure that used fluids are not cross-contaminated with any other fluids or materials (e.g. keep
petroleum, oils, and lubricants (POL) separated from chlorinated materials).
19. Keep containers closed except when waste is being added or removed.
20. Ground containers, drums, and ASTs that contain ignitable waste in the satellite accumulation area
during waste accumulation.
21. Do not overfill drums and ASTs. Drums and ASTs are considered full when 3 to 4 inches of head space
remain to allow for thermal expansion.
22. Update the hazardous waste log at the division HAZMAT center with the date the HW was transferred,
and manifest number for each time waste oil or fuel is transferred.
23. Place used rags in approved containers for recycling. Turn in full, used rag containers at the HAZMIN
center and obtain an empty container.
24. Ensure that containers or inner liners larger than five gallons that previously held HW are
properly marked with word “Empty” and the date it was emptied.
25. Properly clean up all spills immediately and report the spill to the supervisor and EMD.
26. Ensure that a spill report is submitted to the EMD as soon as possible detailing the spill date, time,
product spilled, quantity, location, cleanup actions taken, name of the person reporting the spill, etc.
27. Ensure that spills are recorded in a spill log book detailing the spill date, time, product spilled,
quantity, location, cleanup actions taken and the name of the person reporting the spill.
28. Ensure that warning signs are clearly visible and legible from a distance of 25 feet in any
direction.
29. If there are any specific situations or other concerns not addressed by this procedure, contact the EMD.
3.3 Documentation and Record Keeping:
The following records must be maintained:
1. MSDSs for all material associated with this practice.
2. Training records and certifications.
3. Operation manuals for the test cell facilities and engines tested.
4. Daily log book containing dates and times of operation and total cumulative hours of operation.
5. Hazardous materials inventory (must match Authorized Usage List).
6. HW transfer actions to HAZMIN Center.
7. Spill log book.
8. Scheduled maintenance logbook Naval Aviation Logistics Command Operating Management Information
System (NALCOMIS).
9. Required permits (e.g. San Diego Air Pollution Control District (SDAPCD) operating permit).
3.4 Training:
All applicable personnel must be trained in this ESOP and the following:
1. Hazard Communication (HazCom) Training.
2. 40-hour Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Training (initial and annual).
3. First Responder Operations (FRO) Training.
4. Hazmat Safety Training (initial and refresher).
5. Marine Corps Order Training (initial and annual refresher).
6. Station Order training.
7. Preventative Maintenance (maintenance requirement card).
8. On-the-job training (OJT).
9. Operator test facility.
3.5 Emergency Preparedness and Response Procedures:
Refer to Marine Corps Order (MCO) P5090.2A, Subject: Oil/Hazardous Substance Spills (OHSS) and Spill
Prevention Containment & Countermeasures (SPCC) for MCAS Miramar.
3.6 Inspection and Corrective Action:
The Environmental Compliance Coordinator (ECC) shall perform or designate personnel to perform
inspections. The ECC shall ensure deficiencies noted during the inspections are corrected immediately. Actions
taken to correct each deficiency shall be recorded on the inspection sheet.
