You should develop a documented procedure for the facility planning activity that will ensure the provision of adequate information on which to base plant design decisions. The procedures should provide for a separate development plan with allocation of responsibilities for the various tasks to be undertaken and should cover the layout, specification, procurement, installation, and commissioning of the new or revised plant. 

Obtain and review applicable company and facility plans, policies, procedures, and standards. 

Many events signaled the beginning of a lengthy transition period for the utility industry in general, and more specifically, for the facility planning activity. The timeline m many instances was blurred, with some of the blurring attributable to a reluctance to change. 

With the opening of the transmission network to all resource suppliers, many marketing entities entered the game in the mid-1990s. Many of these marketers are subsidiaries of already established gas suppliers. Some have been created solely for the electric industry. Still others have been formed from the utilities themselves. All of these etitities arc competition-motivated. Facility planning and reliability issues, while important to their business, are left to other organizations.

Type II industrial systems represent a transitional stage where resource recovery becomes more integral to the workings of the industrial systems, but does not satisfy its requirements for resources. Manufacturing processes and environmental processes are integrated at least partially. Whole facility planning is at least partially implemented. 

The retention of experienced and knowledgeable personnel during facility operation and closure is an important management issue. Personnel staffing and retention plans need to be addressed early in the facility planning process. Implementation of a suitable personnel retention, transfer, and release program is essential to the successful closure of JACADS. The Army s contractor for JACADS has recognized this issue and has developed a staff retention plan.

Recommendation 2-6. The end points for plant closure of the Aberdeen and Newport facilities should be identified (e.g., allowable residual contamination thresholds and possible future uses of the facilities). Plans for plant design, construction, and operation should include plans for facility...

Even allowing for employees who work at multiple disposal sites over the duration of the CSDP, Table 1-1 shows that a substantial number of people will be involved in the destruction of the stockpile. The focus of this report is on workplace chemical monitoring and worker activity and health monitoring practices at CAMDS, JACADS, TOCDF, and, by extension, at the other seven disposal facilities planned or under construction. The preparation, maintenance, and accessibility of records are also evaluated. Findings on current practices and recommendations for extending and/or improving them are then presented. 

Congress enacted Section 112(r) of the 1990 Clean Air Act (CAA) to address the threat of catastrophic releases of chemicals that might cause immediate deaths or injuries in communities. It requires owners and operators of covered facilities to submit RMPs to the EPA. The final RMP rule was published in 40 CFR 68 in the Federal Register on June 20, 1996. RMPs must summarize the potential threat of sudden, large releases of certain dangerous chemicals and facilities plans to prevent such releases and mitigate any damage. 

This paper describes the MIRADCOM Propulsion Facility Plan, the work flow process, the safety factors that must be considered and the primary organizations that assist in insuring that hazards are kept to an absolute minimum. Safety considerations become a consideration at the initiation of a concept and is a constant partner until the missile is phased out of the inventory. It is only by such constant attention that operations with such materials and devices can be performed without incurring disaster.

Third parties can be extremely helpful in vetting site assessments and implementation plans. Currently, as site assessments have been set up within the Responsible Care Code, local law enforcement and fire chiefs can look at facility plans. They may be very familiar with the emergency response aspects of a site security plan, but they may not always be the best choice when determining other security strategies or assessing investments. 

Lastly, TIAX asked how the facility planned to meet future EPAct requirements.

Facilities planning consultants provide an unbiased source of advice on each facet of the site selection process. With a wide breadth of knowledge and accessibility to time-saving planning tools, consultants make for an efficient and effective means of establishing important quantitative information such as the baseline and for flushing out all possible and feasible alternatives.
