DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Office of the Secretary
Revision of the DoD 6055.09–STD,
‘‘Department of Defense Ammunition
and Explosives Safety Standards’’
Department of Defense.
Notice of change.
AGENCY:
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Chairman, Department of
Defense Explosives Safety Board
(DDESB), is today announcing several
changes to DoD 6055.9–STD, dated 5
October 2004. The DDESB is
republishing the Standard (now DoD
6055.09–STD) with changes deliberated
by the Voting Board members from
October 5, 2004 to July 18, 2005.
The DDESB is taking this action
pursuant to its statutory authority as set
forth in Title 10, United States Code,
Section 172 (10 U.S.C. 172) and DoD
Directive 6055.9E, ‘‘Explosives Safety
Management and the Explosives Safety
Board (DDESB),’’ August 19, 2005. The
Standard is applicable to the Office of
the Secretary of Defense, the Military
Departments, the Office of the Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the
Combatant Commands, the Office of the
Inspector General of the Department of
Defense, the Defense Agencies, the DoD
Field Activities, and all other
organizational entities in the
Department of Defense (hereafter
referred to collectively as the ‘‘DoD
Components’’).
Through DoD 6055.09–STD, the
DDESB establishes minimum explosives
safety requirements for storing and
handling ammunition and explosives.
Copies of the revised Standard dated
February 29, 2008, may be downloaded
from the DoD Directives Program Web
site at https://www.dtic.mil/whs/
directives.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
more detailed information on specific
aspects of this Standard, contact Dr.
Jerry M. Ward, phone: (703) 325–2525;
e-mail: Jerry.Ward@ddesb.osd.mil;
DDESB, 2461 Eisenhower Avenue,
Room 856C, Alexandria, VA 22331–
0600.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Dating
back to 1928 when Congress directed
the Secretaries of the military
departments to establish a joint board of
officers to ‘‘keep informed on stored
supplies of ammunition and
components thereof * * *, with
particular regard to keeping those
supplies properly dispersed and stored
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 217001
and to preventing hazardous conditions
from arising to endanger life and
property inside or outside of storage
reservations,’’ the DDESB (formerly
known as the Ammunition Safety
Board) has periodically revised or
updated the Standard based on new
scientific or technical information and
explosives safety experience. The
implementation of a change to DoD
6055.09–STD depends on formal
publication of a change to DoD 6055.09–
STD. In order to ensure compliance, the
DoD Components modify their
implementing procedures and standards
accordingly.
This revision to the 5 October 2004
version of DoD 6055.09–STD
incorporates, as appropriate,
recommendations made by Voting
Board members at the 327th DDESB
meeting held on December 14, 2004,
and the 328th DDESB meeting held on
July 18, 2005, and included in their
replies to DDESB vote by
correspondence memoranda dated
March 11, 2005 and June 30, 2005.
The changes included herein address
the following:
• Replaces Chapter 12 ‘‘Real Property
Contaminated with Ammunition,
Explosives or Chemical Agents’’ with
completely revised Chapter 12 ‘‘Real
Property Known or Suspected to
Contain Munitions and Explosives of
Concern and Chemical Agents’’ that
includes explosives safety standards for
the identification and control of areas
known or suspected to contain
Munitions and Explosives of Concern
(MEC) or Chemical Agents (CA),
addresses explosives and CA safety
aspects of response actions as well as
special considerations, provides criteria
for required safety submissions as well
as for amendments and corrections to
these submissions, provides criteria for
after action reports, provides criteria for
transfer of real property outside of DoD
control
• Relocates criteria for the
termination of use of facilities storing
ammunition and explosives from the
previous Chapter 12 to Chapter 1
• Includes a new Chapter 15
‘‘Unexploded Ordnance (UXO)’’ that
provides criteria for the disposition of
UXO, addresses special considerations,
provides criteria for access to areas
known or suspected to contain UXO and
for identification and control of such
areas, provides minimum separation
distances for UXO, addresses other
considerations
• Includes a new Chapter 16
‘‘Material Potentially Presenting an
Explosives Hazard (MPPEH)’’ that
provides explosives safety standards for
MPPEH
PO 00000
Frm 00103
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
• Expands Glossary to include new
terms used in the revised Chapter 12,
and new Chapters 15 and 16
• Removes the exception for quantitydistance (QD) application to roll-on and
roll-off ammunition and explosives
operations
• Establishes criteria for the siting of
and authorized operations at reduced
QD magazines
• Expands the criteria for application
of no QD to ammunition and explosives
stored in ships’ magazines and intended
for the service of shipboard armament or
aircraft
In adopting these changes, the
Chairman, DDESB has determined that
the Standards, as changed, are at least
as protective as the previous Standards.

Intent To Prepare a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement/
Environmental Impact Report (DEIS/
EIR) for a Permit Application for the
Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles
County’s (Sanitation Districts)
Clearwater Program in Los Angeles
County, CA
AGENCY:
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
DoD.
ACTION:
Notice of Intent (NOI).
SUMMARY: In compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969, 40 CFR 1508.22, and 33
CFR Parts 230 and 325, and in
conjunction with the Sanitation
Districts, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) is announcing its
intent to prepare a DEIS/EIR for the
Clearwater Program. The Clearwater
Program is a strategic planning initiative
to identify wastewater conveyance,
wastewater treatment, effluent
management, solids processing, and
biosolids management needs for the
Sanitation Districts’ Joint Outfall System
through the year 2050. The Clearwater
Program will entail the preparation of a
new Master Facilities Plan (MFP),
which will guide the management, and
upgrade/development of the Sanitation
Districts’ infrastructure. A major
component of the MFP is the

construction of a new ocean outfall
structure extending from the coastline
in the vicinity of White Point, Point
Fermin, or the Port of Los Angeles up
to approximately 7 miles seaward of San
Pedro Bay in the Pacific Ocean. The
construction of the structure would
entail discharge of dredged and fill
material in waters of the United States,
work in navigable waters of the United
States, and potentially the transport of
dredged material for ocean disposal.
Accordingly, the Sanitation Districts
intend to submit a Department of Army
application pursuant to Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act (CWA), Section 10
of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA),
and if necessary Section 103 of the
Marine Protection, Research, and
Sanctuaries Act (MPRSA).

District, P.O. Box 532711, Los Angeles,
CA 90053–2325.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Project Purpose and Need: The
Sanitation Districts currently utilize two
tunnels and four ocean outfall structures
to convey effluent from their Joint Water
Pollution Control Plant (JWPCP) in the
city of Carson to the Pacific Ocean. The
two tunnels were constructed in 1937
and 1958 and have not been inspected
in nearly 50 years. Inspection of the
tunnels is not possible due to their
overall length, limited access, lack of
separation between the tunnels, and the
overall flow through the tunnels. The
project need is to inspect and upgrade
aging infrastructure, and to
accommodate the projected increase in
wastewater flows. The project purpose
is to improve existing infrastructure and
increase wastewater treatment capacity
to accommodate estimated 2050 flows,
while complying with all applicable
water quality standards. As a part of
planned infrastructure improvements,
the Sanitation Districts propose to
construct a new tunnel and ocean
outfall structure.
The new ocean outfall would be
composed of onshore and offshore
components. The onshore component
would entail construction of a 4- to 7mile long underground tunnel
approximately up to 200 feet below
ground from the JWPCP to one of three
areas (White Point, Point Fermin, or the
Port of Los Angeles) from where the
tunnel will make the onshore-tooffshore transition. Once offshore, the
tunnel may extend up to 7 miles
seaward and connect to a diffuser via a
riser. Alternatively, once offshore, the
