ROJAS, DIREC'I~R-CITYENGIJqEER ~[~'~Tr?*"~'~rl~'~"~-~h'a Mr. Joe Fonseca Pepsi Cola Bottling Co. 215 E 21st Street Bakersfield, CA 93305 Re: Notice of Violation for pH Limits on 6/29/99 for Permit No. 2-BK-0013 Dear Mr. Fonseca: Permit Violation After careful review of your second quarter self-monitoring pH charts, it has been determined that your facility discharged in violation of the subject permit upper pH limit on June 29, 1999. The final pH exceeded 12 units for approximately three-quarters of an hour (highest =13.0). The event is also a violation of Bakersfield Municipal Code Chapter 14.12 since it constitutes a discharge of hazardous waste as defined by California CCR Title 22 (pH 12.5 or greater). Enclosed is a photocopy of the 'flow, primary pH, and secondary pH charts for the time period in question. The primary pH chart also recorded 13.0 but for what appears to be a shorter duration than the final chart. Pretreatment Operation Problems Pepsi staff reported verbally that the mixer motor was not in the normal "Manual" position but switched to the "Automatic" position. The manual position provides constant mixing in the.primary zone of the vault and is necessary to avoid pass-through of wastewater through the system due to the frequent pumping cycles from the 'lift well (often at fifteen minute intervals). The "automatic" position only runs the mixer when the lift pump is operating. Although the baffles preceding the secondary/final pH monitoring zone help to equalize pH, there is no secondary chemical injection to further neutralize wastewater pH levels beyond the permit limits of 6.0 - 12.0 units. In this current situation, the primary chart data cannot be used to'refute the final pH chart data. We believe that the treatment vault must be constantly mixed to provide thorough mixing/pH equalization, proper neutralization to meet the permit limits, and to prevent pass-through. Please calibrate the primary and final pH electrodes at least on a weekly basis, as recommended in our July 1998 letter to you. Although the letter indicated weekly cleaning of the pH electrodes, we suggest daily cleaning due to the constant presence of an oily residue in each stage of the pretreatment system. A review of your pH calibration log sheet revealed that the primary was only calibrated four times in the past three · months and the secondary probe was calibrated six times in April, five times in May, and three times in June 1999. Daily cleaning of pH electrodes is essential to ensure efficient chemical injection and accurate pH monitoring. S:\l-indust~ial users\l 8-PCB\pcbnov2Q99.wpd Notice of Violation, Permit No. 2-BK-0013 July 23, 1999 Page'-2 In addition,.please determine if the aging pH recorders should be replaced or repaired. Both City staffand your staff have observed a problem regarding discrepancies between the pH values of the digital display compared to the strip chart recorder impact marks. If the recorders are not able to consistently and reliably record accurate pH data, it may be time to repair or replace them. We have verbally asked your staff to verify and note any discrepancies. These notes have been helpful for interpreting the charts at the end of each month, but cannot be relied on in the long term. Recommendations In summary, we highly recommend that you take the following actions: 1) operate the mixer motor on the primary pH zone in the "manual" setting; 2) calibrate all pH electrodes on a weekly, or more frequent, basis; 3) clean pH electrodes on a daily basis; 4) determine if the pH recorders need to be replaced or repaired. If you have any questions, please contact Timothy Ryan at (661) 326-3249. very truly yours, PAUL M. ROJAS Public Works Director By '?

We have in fact pumped our entire system down to contain all of the liquid in to the receiver on each of our systems. The level of liquid in each system is approximately 350 lbs.. We will be following up with flagging the tanks so that a mathematical calculation will not be necessary to determine the level of the tank. I will follow up with more information as to the completion of the indicators on both of our systems. We have also completed the final installation of the plumbing from our blow- offs to the 1,000-gallon water tank located in the alley area near the CO2 tank.

RETA's certification program is directed toward meeting the need of providing the industry with qualified operators through continued education and training using RETA materials. The RETA Certification Program is based on on-the-job practical experience for two or more years enhanced with a systematic approach, to ~raining through the RETA Industrial Refrigeration books. The exam is proctored and timed. The program helps individuals improve their technical skills and provides employers with a helpful benchmark for reviewing job applicants and current employees. While not an engineering degree or state regulatory license, certification does establish that the person certified has met RETA's experience, education, skill level and test requirements. The program's objectives include: · To establish a nationally recognized standard of excellence, education and training for industrial refrigeration operators, technicians and supervisors. · To assist the refrigeration industry in developing and recognizing qualified refrigeration plant operators, technicians and supervisors. · To encourage continued technical training and education, as well as practical experience, of refrigeration plant operators, technicians and supen~isors. · ' To promote SAFETY in industrial refrigeration facilities. To increase public recognition of the skills needed in the industrial refrigeration field. Level B - Entry Level satisfactory completion of the following RETA industrial refrigeration educational coumes is suggested: / Industrial Refrigeration I ,/' Industrial Refrigeration [I / Industrial Refrigeration III v' Industrla! Refrigeration IV ,/' Basic Electricity ! : v' Basic Electricity II, Ladder Diagrams Level A - Journeyman Level / Study Courses outlined above / A minumum of two years verifiable experience in indus'Eial refrigeration plant operation or servicing. ..=..-.-_~ ~= ~-~. ,. iRafrigsration Engineers & T~cknicians Association RE T'A Kern Chapter -- REFRIGERATING ENGINEERS & TECHNICIANS ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION Date of Application Last Name First Name Middle Company Type of Business BuSiness Address City/State/ZIP Home Address City/State/ZIP Business Phone Business FAX Home Phone Intemet Address For Mailing ~ Use Business Address cI Use Home Address Check the category of membership for which you are applying (see reverse for requirements).

Any upset of the ammonia system could (80~) 326-3979 expose these sensitive receptors to accidental releases of ammonia. The FAX (805) 326-0576 City of Bakersfield has had recent success with the Crystal Geyser m~n~no o~V~lOn bottling plant where ammonia pressure relief vents are placed into a water 56a2 wctor s,eet tank to absorb the released ammonia. A letter to the Governor's Office of B~ersfielcl, CA 93308 ~805) 3~-a6~7 Emergency Services is enclosed as a testimonial to the effectiveness of FAX (805) 399-5763 routing ammonia pressure relief vents into a water sparge tank. Chad Buechel suggested routing the Pepsi-Cola ammonia system vents into the waste water holding tank. This may be an acceptable alternative provided that sufficient water supplies exist to absorb one pound of ammonia per gallon of water. Additional water could be introduced into the holding tank upon activation of an ammonia leak detector should concentrations exceed the absorption capacity ofthe.:tank volume. Our office is ' especiallyleager to. work with you' off instituting a System' tO,control'and ".' mit!gate a possible ammonia vent release as soon as practicable. 2). Ammonia compressor "kill switches" are desired in the diffusion system control box. This would allow the firefighters to shut down the compressors without having to enter the plant, thus protecting the equipment form damage should the diffusion system need to be activated, as well as protecting the firefighters from ammonia exposure upon entering the plant. 3). A chain and chain tensioner was observed attached to, and ostensibly supporting, an ammonia suction fine. If the ammonia line is saggi~ a permanent structural support should be engineered and installed. 4). The old wood U-uss building homing the carbon dioxide bulk tank, lube oils, ~ gas . cylinders and vending machine parts is a particular fire safety concern. Due to its deteriorating condition, heavy fire load (wood frame construction, combustible storage, etc.) and susceptibility to vandalism and vagrant intrusion, housekeeping and security should be of utmost importance m this area of the plant. Too often, there is a tendency for the deteriorating parts of facilities to receive the least amount of maintenance. This was evident by the missing ceiling files, disconnected and hanging electrical conduit, and use of extension cords.in place of permanent wiring. Should this area of the plant become involved in a fire due to poor housekeeping, electrical short, or va~dallsm, not only would the ammoma and other compressed gas cylinder in storage become involved, but also the whole ammonia system m the adjacent bottling plant would be exposed to the radiant heat. Continuing efforts should be made to ensure that this oldest part of the facility does not dc~riorate into an imminent fire boTard. 5). As a coincidence, on February 13, 1997, as the firefighters were arriving for tl~ plant tour, we were informed ora propane gas leak incident occurring in the plant. While the evacuation of the plant wea~t smoothly, the use of a Unified Incident Command System would have improved coordination between facility responders and emergency responders. The Bakersfield Fire Department offers training on the Incident Command Systean. We will be happy to provide instruction to the plant personnel who have responsibilities for facility emergency response and employee safety. Please give me a call, and I will coordinate the training, perhaps in conjunction with other local ammoma refrigeration facilities. 6). The emergency fuel pump shut off should also stop the propane tank m addition to the diesel dispenser. On behalf of the Bakersfield Fire Department, we appreciate the cooperation of your staff; especially that of Chad Buechel, in conducting these recent tours. We look forward to a timely resolution to the issues expressed herein. If you have any questions, please call me at 326-3979. Sincerely, Hoxxard H.

Effective January 1, 1997, California law will adopt the · (805)326-3941 federal Risk Management Program regulations as a significant amendment to the existing FAX (805) 395-1349 RMPP program.

Your facility would appear to qualify for Program 2 requirements under the new 171,5 Chester Ave.' law. This would entail a new hazard analysis and off-site consequence according to particular Bakersfield, CA93301 "endpoint" criteria as referenced by federal rule. 'Guidance for anhydrous ammonia (805) 326-3979 FAX (805)326-0576' refrigeration facilities has been produced by the EPA, however it may be premature to recalculate accidental release parameters until the California regulations are final. /RAINING DIVISION ' 5642 Victor ~reet One thing I did notice during our audit,.was that Operating Procedures in particular, were not Bakersfield, CA 93308 readily available at the applicable equipment, nor were they easily referenced upon request. (805) 399-4697 FAX (805)399-5763 These procedures were included, to some degree, in the. existing RMPP prepared by WZL However, by definition, these procedures are most effective when in the hands of operators themselves. My recommendation is to develop additional written procedures for the operation of all equipment associated with the ammonia system and,. to post the same at the equipment itself. All valves, piping, switches, and other appurte, nhnces referenced in the operating procedures should be clearly marked with identification tags and hazard warnings. By contrast, your preventative maintenance and training procedures are well documented. With the additional attention to the operating procedures, as I suggested, I am confident that you will easily transition to the new federal requirements when they become effective. .If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 326-3979.

August 22, 1993 ~-'~· City of Bakersfield Fire Department 2101 H Street I Bakersfield, CA 93301 Attention: Mr. Larry Tolar, Fire Marshal I Subject: Pepsi-Cola, Bakersfield Ammonia Diffusion System ,~ Frank Jackman Refrigeration, Inc. Dear Marshal Tolar: -~l We are responding to a request by Frank Jackman to review and approve the calculations and submittals on the subject project per your request letter to him dated July 12, 1993. I The basic philosophy of an ammonia diffusion system is "to contain and control" the ammonia charge within the system. The function of the diffusion system and control box i is to provide the ability of the designated person in authority during a fire or other emergency to respond appropriately. This includes the ability to manually reduce and equalize pressures within the system due to fire and heat in order to prevent the pressure vessel relief valves from relieving to atmosphere (which is the ultimate I protection to overpressure). This ability is provided by the cross over valving and pressure gauges contained in the ammonia diffusion emergency control box. I ., The ultimate ability to blend the charge with water in an ammonia/water mixer is · required if the equalization procedures are not sufficient to maintain pressures below the relief valve settings. This allows central control and diffusion of the mixture into the sewer or retention tank/area to provide ultimate control of the pressures without '1 necessarily "dumping" the entire charge. The sizing of the ammonia/water mixer in a diffusion system is dependent on the I maximum flow response of ammonia into the mixer when the control valves are manually opened. The character of the flow of ammonia to the mixer from a vessel filled with ammonia liquid is that the ammonia will flash into vapor from the pressure in its .· vessel down to atmospheric pressure. This pressure reduction will create flash gas of approximately 20% of the weight of the liquid in the vessel. This action also subcools the liquid ammonia to the saturation temperature (-28F) corresponding to 0psig (atmospheric) pressure. I At this point, the ammonia will lie essentially dormant and gas off at a rate established by the amount of external heat absorbed by the containing veSsel and at a constant -, pressure slightly above atmospheric. The maximum flow rate (design flow) is · experienced during the initial flashing of the contents down to atmospheric pressure.

TELEFAX {714) 738-3905 I This flash down time is calculated by considering the enthalpy (heat content) of the liquid ammonia from the original condition (avg 80F) down to the final condition (-28F) as well as the enthalpy (heat release) of vaporization. By calculation, the total I heat which has to be absorbed and is therefore flashed by contained ammonia off the during the process, based on 20% of the 1000 lb. charge flashing off is 214,000 btu. Considering that this boil off is carried by (4) 1" diffusion lines to the mixer, their I capacity (as suction lines per ASHRAE flow/capacity data) under these conditions is approximately 192,000 btu/hr. I The flash down time then would be 214,000 btu/192,000 btu/hr= 1.1 hrs--67min. Therefore, the amount of water required to mix 2gal/lb of ammonia with 2001bs/67min= 3. Ibs/min x 2gal/lb= 6 gpm. It' is therefore apparent that the ammonia/water mixer proposed is more than sufficient to carry out this task since its I water flow capacity based on a 1-1/4'" water line @ 50psig water pressure is in excess of 50 gpm. I We have reviewed the calculations already submitted by Jackman Refrigeration ( W.R. UIIrich letter/analysis, 7/30/93) and find them to be more conservative than these calculations conclude and are therefore approved as being appropriate for this service.

Page 2 In addition to Fire Department notification of any ammonia release, any release of ammonia in excess of 100~ in a 24hr. period must also be reported to the E.P.A. within 24hrs. of any .such release. The Pepsi-Cola - Dr. Pepper Plant ammonia refrigerant charge is less than 1000~. If we use (2) gallons of water to diffuse (1) pound of. ammonia, when the system's pressure is equalized and venting, we will require no more than a 2000 gallon Holding Tank. The chart provided by the Bakersfield Fire Department denotes the required sizes of the diffuser: A) 6' 6", B) 6' 3½", C) 400, D) 1", E) 6" F) 1~" When a portion of the system, or a vessel, is vented to the diffuser, the pressure in that portion of the system or vessel drops, and providing there is some liquid ammonia in that portion of the system, the vaporization of the ammonia naturally cools that portion of the system down, protecting the vessel, compressor or piping from failing due to overheating. The operation of the Ammonia/Water Mixer must be conducted by personnel knowledgeable in its use. The water must be flowing before the ammonia liquid or vapor is allowed to enter the Mixer, and the pressures must be constantly monitored during the mixing operation. In the event that there is an inadequate water in the there is 2½" fire hose building pressure system, a connection that can be used to supply the water needed to neutralize the ammonia. Face and eye protection must always be used during the use of the "Emergency Ammonia Refrigerant Control System", any liquid ammonia that may get into the eyes must be rinsed out, with water, within 11 seconds or irreversible damage may occur. This system has been designed to diffuse all the ammonia properly and safely to a neutralized state for storage in the Holding Tank. The entire charge of ammonia and water required as well as the needed surface area and pressures required for this diffusing process have been factored into it's design.

It is our understanding that you now intend for the ammonia diffuser to discharge directly into the City sewer system. 1. Elimination of the storage tank will eliminate the UFC Article 80 requirements for secondary containment for storage of an irritant and for limit controls on a tank. 2. The Hazardous Materials Division will send Pepsi a copy of their hazardous materials management plan so that they can make the revisions necessary to reflect installation of the ammonia diffusion system. 3. Eric Poore, mechanical specialist, has reviewed the original plans. You will need to submit two sets of amended plans (without the tank) to the Bakersfield Building Department with an application for a building permit. Eric can be contacted at 805-326-3727 should you have further questions. 4. You still need to submit calculations that substantiate the system's capacity to provide two gallons of water per pound of ammonia to Chief Toler at the Fire Safety Control Division. Pepsi also needs to submit an application to the Fire Safety Control Division for a permit for a mechanical refrigeration system. Compliance with the other requirements on the plan check list dated June 3, 1993 will be verified by City of Bakersfield inspectors following installation. Chief Toler can be contacted at 805-326-3951 _should you have further questions. 5.

I 1. You use the letters ACFM. I can only surmise this refers to ammonia cubic feet per minute. If this is correct, tl~e conversion to 1,136 Ibs./min. would require a water flow of 2,272 GPM to attain I two gallons per pound of ammonia. The water system in this part of the city is not capable of that amount of flow, nor does it have a pressure of 00 PSI. Also you have failed to supply the city water I line size so we could substantiate what flow would be available. 2. These calculations are complex in nature, and it is next to I impossible for us to substantiate their correctness. With this in mind, I feel it necessary to require the calculations and the system design be reviewed and approved by a mechanical engineer I licensed in the State of California. If you wish to discuss this requirement with myself, Barbara Brenner from the Hazardous Materials Division and Deputy Chief Kelly, we would be happy to I meet with you. i Thank you.

AMMONIA DIFFUSER DESIGN There are four emergency ammonia releasevalves that will be tied into the common header. Each valve will be 1" and will be connected to the System via a 1" line. These lines and valves are designed for emergency use only. (2) will be considered high side lines operating at 175(PSI), and (2) will be considered low side lines operating at 30(PSI). During an emergency these valves are opened and the vapor is released to the diffuser. PRESSURE The pressure in two high side lines cannot exceed 250~ and the pressure in two low side lines cannot exceed 150~ operating pressures. We will be operating ~ 175~/30~, but we will design flow based on maximum vessel ratings. The releases at these pressures would be as follows: 250 PSI = 1136 ACFM or 931 lbs/min 150 PSI ~ 655 ACFM or 537 lbs/min The (4) lines are manifolded together into one common header. The flow in the header does not equal the sum of all the flows, ~ but 1.25% of the largest flow. FLOW = 1420 ACFM or 11~6 lbs/min. PIPE SIZING ~\~ The header should be sized based on the conservative inflow of two pipes at once. ASHRAE and The Uniform Fire Code state that the area of the head~r?~ipe should equal or exceed the combined area of the pipes flowing into it.

You use the letters ACFM. I can only surmise this refers to ammonia cubic feet per minute. If this is correct, the conversion to 1,136 lbs./min, would require a water flow of 2,272 GPM to attain two gallons per pound of ammonia. The water system in this part of the city is not capable of that amount of flow, nor does it have a pressure of 80 PSI. Also you have failed to supply the city water line size so we could substantiate what flow would be available. 2. These calculations are complex in nature, .and it is next to impossible for us to substantiate their correctness. With this in mind, I feel it necessary to require the calculations and the system design be reviewed and approved by a mechanical engineer licensed in the State of California. If you wish to discuss this requirement with myself, Barbara Brenner from the Hazardous Materials Division and Deputy Chief Kelly, we would be happy to meet with you. Thank you.

The sale makes it necessary to request a 90 day extension on further RMPP tasks so that we can complete the transition phase, evaluate future production plans and understand possible consolidation of production activities. Your cooperation in this matter will be appreciated. I have included some of the cost estimates related to RMPP implementation that will be part of the decision making process with Pepsico: 1. Expenses to Date: a. WZI consulting fees, RMPP & HAZOP preparation 16,423.00 b. City Fire DepartJaent, Agency oversight fees 1,912.50 c. Engineering Consultation, Exit Revision Project 1,375.00 d. Second Self Contained Breathing Apparatus 800.00 Total paid to date 20,510.50 2. Estimated Expenses to complete implementation requirements: a. Exit Revision Construction Project 24,950 b. A~m~onia Diffusion System Installation 22,000 c. Structural Evaluation of Vessels 1,200 (Does not include cost of construction upgrades) d. Sulfuric Acid Secondary Containment Upgrade 1,175 Total Estimates 49,325 3. Total RMPP expense including implementation estimates 69,835.50 · :;~- 215 East 21st Street, Bakersfield, California 93305 · 805/327-9991 · WATTS 1-800-339-7377 If you know of other requirements that will impact capital spending we would appreciate hearing from you as soon as possible. The cost of compliance needs to be clearly defined so that we can make informed business decisions and plan the future of our production operation. Please call if you have further input or comments. I sincerely hope the cost of compliance will not lead to lost jobs and relocation of another -indu~try-'from-the area.

This risk management and prevention plan must be fully implemented by May 27, 1993. Bakersfield Fire Department will conduct follow up inspections to verify compliance with the risk management measures described in this plan. Doumentation must be retained that verifys that the material used to coat the sulfuric acid containment basin is resistant to corrosion from concentrated sulfuric acid. As we discussed, Pepsi may submit a revised RMPP implementation schedule in order to distribute the work more evenly, over the next year. However, the structUral evaluation regarding the adequacy of bracing of the ammonia system vessels must be completed according to the proposed schedule and meet the following requirements. 1. The' structural evaluation of the bracing of the ammonia vessels must be completed and stamped by a structural engineer registered in the State of ' California. 2. The structural evaluation and any plans for improvements shall be completed and submitted by August 31, 1992..The findings of this review, including engineering calculations, shall be submitted to the City of Bakersfield Building Department for review and approval. Pepsi will notify Bakersfield Fire Hazardous Materials DivisiOn at the time this information is submitted to the Building Department. 3. Documentation that the building, on which the evaporative condensers are located, met the earthquake and loading standards for this use as prescribed by the Uniform Building Code in effect the year in which the structure was built will be considered adequate with respect to the support of the evaporative condensers. Include information detailing the method used to secure the evaporative condensers to the structure. 4. The adequacy of the support for all other ammonia vessels (other than the evaporative condensers) must be evaluated based upon the requirements of the 1991 Uniform Building Code. · Review. of the safety of the Pepsi facility .via the process of risk management .planning has revealed two other areas of concern which require corrective action under the' Uniform Fire and Building Codes. The improvement of emergency' exiting from the production plant will be completed to achieve compliance with the Correction Notice issued by the Bakersfield Building Department on April 21, 1992. Installation of an ammonia diffusion system will be required by the Bakersfield Fire Department as described in the enclosed Notice of Violation and Schedule for Compliance. Notice of completion of this RMPP will be published in the Bakersfield Californian. Pepsi's RMPP will then be subject to a 45 day review period during which Bakersfield Fire will consider all public comments regarding the adequacy of this RMPP. Please call me if I can provide any further assistance or clarification regarding the risk management plan or code compliance requirements. Sincerely, Barbara Brenner Hazardous Materials Planning Technician cc: Ralph Huey Larry Toler Mike Quon David Butt MEMOR.ANDUM "WE CARE" May 19, 1992 TO: Mike Quon, Bakersfield Building Department FROM: Barbara Brenner; Bakersfield Fire Hazardous Materials Division sUBJECT: Pepsi Cola Bottling Co., 215 E 21st St.. . Following our meeting with Pepsi on 5-15-91, I met with John Hodes of the Fire Safety Control Division to discuss the requirements for the type of hardware necessary for the ' new exit doors at Pepsi. Per 1991 UBC Section }t304(c) it appears that "no knowledge hardWare'' will be required. It is our understanding that the new exit door installations will be required to meet all of the provisions of the 1991 UBC. Based on our observation of existing 'exiting routes at the Pepsi plant, there are several 1991 UBC requirements which Pepsi may not be aware of and m~y overlook in the current planning'. Please be sure that the plans for the new exits specifically address the following UBC Sections. 3304(a) (b) - Doors are located within an accessible route of travel and that the exit doors swing in the direction of travel. 3313 - Exit illumination. 3314 - Exit signs and sign illumination. We appreciate the Building Department's action toward requiring the .upgrade of exiting for this hazardous (H7) Occupancy. · Through the risk management and prevention planning process, the Fire Departmen~ ha~ identified concerns regarding the adequacy of bracing of the ammonia vessels at the Pepsi plant. Because there is no record of inspection at the time of installation and several of the vessels do not have foundations supporting them, we have required that a structural analysis of the ammonia vessel support systems be incorporated into the risk management plan. We will need the assistance of the Building Department for review of the analysis and approval of any improvements. I discussed this situation with Eric Poore before writing the attached requirements. Please review these requirements and let. me know if there are any additions which need to be made in order to insure that this structural analysis will provide the information the Building Department will need to determine the adequacy of ammonia vessel bracing. .~ cc: Ralph Huey Larry Toler ~ "WE CARE" May 18, 1992 TO: Ralph Huey, Hazardous Materials Coordinator FROM: Barbara Brenner, Hazardous Materials Planning Technician SUBJECT: Pepsi RMPP Findings Having reviewed the hazard, risk and consequence analyses completed as a basis for the risk management and prevention plan for the use of sulfuric acid and anhydrous ammonia at the Pepsi Cola plant located at 215 E. 21st St., we find that the following issues require the implementation of risk mitigation measures in excess of those originally proposed by Pepsi. 1. In order to assure that a sulfuric acid spill will be contained within the secondary containment basin, an acid resistant coating material must be applied to the concrete basin. This finding is based on information found on page 13 of Effects of Substances on Concrete and guide to Protective Treatments, published by the Portland Cement Association in 1989. The coating of the sulfuric acid containment basin is provided for on page 52 of Pepsi's RMPP and specifications for the acid resistivity of the coating material have been stated in the letter to Pepsi finding the RMPP complete. 2. The emergency exit system needs to be improved to protect employees in the event of an anhydrous ammonia release. The anhydrous ammonia receivers, surge vessels and compressors are located inside the production plant area where employees work at various stations along the filling and palletizing lines. Presently one emergency exit serves the entire mixing, filling and palletizing area. These areas are interconnected so that they are all part of the hazardous occupancy. The worst credible case ammonia release is predicted to be from the ammonia surge vessel located inside the plant. The consequences of such a release are'rated as high. Pepsi Hazards Analysis, pg 27. The Bakersfield Building' Department has issued a Notice of Correction dated 4- 21-92 requiring the improveme.n.t of exits to meet the Standards for a H occupancy. The Pepsi proposal reviewed in our meeting with the Building Department on 5-15-92 appears to satisfy these exiting requirements. J 3. An ammonia diffusion system should be installed @er Article 63 of the Uniform Fire Code. The requirement for an ammonia diffusion system was not met when the Pepsi plant was built in 1974 under the 1972 UFC. There is .nO record of proper permitting of this refrigeration system installation. A school is located immediately adjacent to the plant and is within the area which could be subjected to ammonia concentrations far exceeding the IDLH. Pepsi Hazards Analysis, Appendix IV. A Notice of Violation and Schedule for compliance will be issued to Pepsi along with the completion notice for the RMPP requiring installation of an ammonia diffusion ;system within the one year RMPP implementation period. 4. Pepsi management need to meet With the administrators of the adjacent Community School and inform them of the hazards associated with the use of anhydrous ammonia at the Pepsi plant and the procedures for. emergency notification. Following this'notification by Pepsi personnel, Bakersfield Fire staff ' . will meet with the school administration and provide shelter in place instructions. 5. A structural analysis is' necessary t~o verify that the vessels in the ammonia 'refrigeration system are adequately braced. - Per the permit file records, the Pepsi ammonia refrigeration system was neither inspected nor finaled by City building officials at the time of installation in 1.974. VVZl Inc., the RMPP preparer, cannot attest to the adequacy of the vessel bracing ~ and acknowledges that several of these ammonia vessels are not supported by foundations. The potential consequences to human health is high .in the event of an ammonia release. Pepsi Hazards Analysis, pg. 27. . 'Tl~e RMPP proposes completionr of a structural evaluation on page 52. The specific requirements for this evaluation are stated in the notice of RMPP~ completion. 01."1~/9 0~:20 ~ ~O5 5:~8 I.~E: RACEHORSE 18ELD P.~I KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, IN.C WELD TEST REPORT DATE .... ~.,~_.1 992 PROJ.

JOHNSON March 25,1992 BAKERSFIELD, 93301 FIRE CHIEF 326-3911 Kevin Phillips Pepsi Cola Bottling Co. 215 E. 21 st Street .. Bakersfield, CA 93305 Kevin: Bakersfield Fire's response to your questions regarding my letter of 1-24-92 has been delayed pending inspection of the Pepsi facility by the Building Department. Because of these delays, I am extending the due for submittal, of Pepsi's revised Risk Management and Prevention plan to April 27, 1992. As a result of our meeting and the subsequent inspection of the plant, I have made the following amendments to my letter of 1-24-92. I will list the changes in a format similar to the letter referenced. All of the questions not specifically addressed below remain unchanged and should be addressed in either the revised RMPP or in a letter from the qualified RMPP preparer. .HAZARD ANALYSIS:~ 3. ,,"/-If it is. Pepsi's intent to coat the sulfuric acid containment basin with an acid resistant material, list this as a mitigation measure on the RMPP implementation schedule. No further explanation or data will be required as a part of the RMPP. The product specifications for the coating material should be retained as evidence of RMPP implementation. ANHYDROUS AMMONIA: ~ Reference to canister respirators should be removed from the RMPP and it should be made clear that SCBA are used as respiratory protective equipment. Two . SCBA must be available per the Uniform Fire Code to allow rescue back up via the buddy system. A plan to establish communication with the adjacent school regarding the hazards at the Pepsi facility and the method of notification of the school in an emergency must be included in the RMPP. ~. It will not be possibli~ to complete the emergenCy exiting plan until it is clear where additional exits will be added. At this time, Pepsi should add the completion of the exiting plan t° the RMPP implementation schedule following the determination of adequacy of eXisting exits. ~. This item needs to be' rephrased. What year 'was the ammonia refrigeration system installed in the production facility? Provide any records of building permits or inspections that Pepsi may have regarding this installation. The due date for supplying the answer to this ·question will be 4-8-92. SULFURIC ACID: "" 1. Delete this item. It has been addressed in the.haz-op document. .. As we discussed, many of the questions in my letter of 1-24-92 can be resolved · simply by rewording, adding some explanation detail or working out the inconsistencies in the RMPP text. Several of the items, such as #12, 13 and 14, can be-addressed in a letter from the qualified preparer to confirm that these issues have been considered and stating the findings. These type of items may not require any modification to the RMPP unless WZI or Pepsi recommends a change of practice. Any recommended changes in practice or additional planning may be added to the RMPP implementation schedule for completion in the future. The response to item 16 must be submitted by 4-8-92. Bakersfield Fire will then make a determination regarding the adequacy of exits from the facility. The only other Fire Code compliance item which I anticipate addressing as a part of the RMPP process is the addition of an ammonia diffusion system. We will notify you of our findings and requirements on these Fire Code compliance items following receipt of the · permit/inspection information for the refrigeration system. The revised.RMPP Will be due on 4-27-92. Please contact me if you have any questions or if I can be of other assistance.

Box 9217 Bakersfield, CA 93389 David: I have reviewed the revised'Hazards Analysis and the RMPP submitted for the Pepsi Bottling Plant. I have listed items of concern or which need clarification below. Two.days ago, I was using the Hazardous Materials Information Exchange Bulletin Board (HMIX) and found a memo to all users of ARCHIE 1.0 regarding a program error. I.have'attached a printout of .the memo for your review. You may wish to revise the modeling done for Pepsi's consequence analysis per the corrected version of ARCHIE. HAZARDS ANALYSIS: 1 You have evaluated the consequences associated with sulfuric acid overflow, hose rupture, fire exposure, etc. and have determined that offsite consequences are minimal. On page 3, it would be preferable to state that the hazards of sulfuric acid have been evaluated and that it has been determined that the offsite consequences are negligible instead of stating that an offsite consequence analysis was not required. This change would be consistent with Section 4.2.3, Page 19. / 2./Page 27 of the Risk Analysis defines the consequences of an ammonia release as potentially high. I agree that this is . appropriate~ however the haz-op work sheets are not consistent with this determination. The work sheets all list the line break scenarios as medium severity. ~. The...attached information from the Portland Cement Association indicates that concrete can be expected to rapidly disintegrate ~hen exposed to a 10% sulfuric acid solution. This information disputes the conclusion of page 28 that the concrete containment basin will hold 93% sulfuric acid for up to 30 days. RMPP: ANHYDROUS .AMMONIA ~. The potential for explosion of anhydrous, ammonia is an .important hazardous property of this material'. Information regarding potential for explosiOn should be included in Section 1.2.3. It is particularly important that employees involved 'in emergency response activities understand this possibility.

(Section 3.1.3, pg 28 & Section 4.1) . Is there a standard procedure for the addition of ammonia to the system? /. Proper design is frequently referenced as a key element minimizing the possibility of an ammonia release. Is the system design documented by process and instrument diagrams and are these' kept current ? What is the procedure for approving modifications to the ammonia system-? (Section ~/ Why does turning'off the ammonia system during periods while the plant is unattended reduce' the risk (probability and j consequences), of a release to neighbors?

How is the containment basin drained?~ Is there a 'lock on any· valves controlling drain lines and a procedure to check the position of the valve prior to filling the tank? The haz-op work sheets note various ~r ural controls in effect during delivery of sulfuric acid. The likelihood of a sulfuric acid release during delivery is rated as low. Is there a· written procedure used ~o train the staff which documents their responsibilities regarding the delivery of .~iulfuric acid? s the vapor, pressure of"sulfuric acid quoted at 68 F or C? variations occur within these documents. (Section 7.7 RMPP and pg. 3 of hazard, analysis) These questions need to be addressed before Bakersfield Fire will find this RMPP complete. 'In order to'avoid unneceSsary work, it is advisable that we agree that the items of concern have been adequately resolved before changes'are made in the RMPP. The items which involve additional planning·, i.e # 8, may either be addressed by adding to the RMPP or scheduling additional planning as a part of the RMPP implementation schedule. The revised RMPP will be due on March 24, 1992. I am available to discuss any of the items noted above with you. Please call if I can be of assistance.

The pipes lay on top of channel iron supports or lay in pipe raceways which allow free movement. The piping system is constructed of schedule 80 material and extra heavy fittings which provide additional strength. The magnitude of the worst credible earthquake on the White Wolf fault is estimated to be 7.8 on the Richter Scale. The above text shall be added to section 6.1.1 of the revised Hazards Analysis. A release of 500 pounds of ammonia from the can line ammonia surge vessel and related system is defined as the "worst credible" release in section 5.1.1, A. of the revised Hazards Analysis. The second ammonia refrigeration system handles the Bottle Line Processing System. It holds approximately 400 pounds of ammonia. For emergency planning purposes, it is expected a break of a 1 inch high pressure inlet line to the Bottle Line ammonia surge vessel, would provide the worst credible release for this system. The above text shall be added to section 5.1.1, A. of the revised Hazards Analysis. 2. The metal building referenced in paragraph 2.i., of WZl's letter of November .12, 1991 is the manufacturing and warehouse building located to the north of the sulfuric acid area. The building has three (3) two hour firewalls with fusible link firedoors. The fusible link firedoors would automatically close if a fire should occur, which would retard the spreading of a fire. The building located to the west of the sulfuric acid area which consists of the shop, fleet, supply and loading canopy are the areas which are sprinklered. Exhibit 3 has been revised to show the firewalls and sprinklered areas. The text of section 4.1.2 of the revised Hazards Analysis shall be clarified on the above. 3. We have reviewed the possibility of the sulfuric acid in the storage tank reaching a temperature of 572 degrees Fahrenheit, if the vending building next to the sulfuric acid storage tank should catch on fire. Based on our research it would take a minimum of 15 hours for the surface of the tank to reach 572 degrees Fahrenheit if the heat source was continuous. We assume the response time of the Bakersfield City Fire Department would be less than one hour, which means the heat source would begin to reduce and the sulfuric acid tank could not achieve the 572 degrees Fahrenheit required to generate sulfur trioxide fumes. The method we Used'to determine the heat transfer is shown in Exhibit 1. The method is very conservative, because we did not consider the fact that fire pulls in cooler air which would reduce the heat transfer to the tank and we did not consider the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of the sulfuric acid in the tank. 4. When you complete your research on the effects of sulfuric acid on concrete we will address this question. Enclosed is a copy of the revised Hazards Analysis for PEPSI. Please destroy the original Hazards Analysis we submitted or mark it "OBSOLETE", if you retain it for your records. If you have any questions, please call me.

P.O. Box 9217 Bakersfield, CA 93389 David: I have reviewed the revised Hazards Analysis and the RMPP submitted for the Pepsi Bottling Plant. I have listed items of concern or which need clarification below. HAZARDS ANALYSIS: 1. You have ~ne--~consequence~arralys~s~~_~_rdin~ sulfuric acid overflow, hose rupture, fire exposure, etc. and have determined that offsite consequences are minimal. On page 3, it would be preferable, to state that the hazards of sulfuric acid have been evaluated and that it has been determined that the offsite consequences are negligible instead of stating that an offsite consequence analysis was not required. This change would be consistent with Section 4.2.3, Page 19. 2. Page 27 of the Risk Analysis defines the consequences of an ammonia release as potentially high. I agree that this is appropriate, however the haz-op work sheets are not consistent with this determination. The work sheets all list the line break scenarios as medium severity. 3. The attached information from the Portland Cement Association indicates that concrete can be expected to rapidly disintegrate when exposed to a 10% sulfuric acid solution. This information~disputes the conclusion o~.page 28 that the concrete containment basin will hold 93% sulfuric acid for up to 30 days. _Th_~ cond~of the c~inment~in ref_~ect's the action~,ef-this_~id on c0n~g~te~ Wh~e~small a~nt~s of acid ha~v~escaped~around fittings, the c~crete is,~oticeably corr~d~ed. 4'. The release scenario referred to on page 21 is the worst credible case rather than the worst case. Please 'resolve these . inconsistencies and submit the appropriate page revisions. RMPP: 1. The potential for explosion of anhydrous ammonia is an important hazardous property of this material. Information regarding .potential for explosion should be included in Section 1.2.3. It is particularly important that employees involved in' e~rgency response activities understand this possibility. (See film referenced in ftem xx below) 2. What method will be Used by employees to determine if the concentration bf ammonia is within the range handled by canister respiratOrs~(Section 2.3 c, pg 10) /. How does the proposed maintenance 'schedule compare with the manufacturers specifications? Are the manufacturer's specifications available? (Section 3.1.3, pg 28) 4. Is there a standard procedure for the addition of ammonia to the system? 5. Proper design is frequen{ly referenced as a key element minimizing the possibility of an ammonia release. Is the system design documented by process and instrument diagrams and are these kept current ? What is the procedure for approving modifications to the ammonia system ? (Section 5.1.1) 6. Written operating procedures do not ~nsure that mechanics are well trained. Written procedures provide materials to supplement training and provide a standard reference for safe operations. ( Section 7.1, pg 40) · Are manufacturer's equipment manuals maintained and available for the refrigeration equipment? 8. Why does turning off the ammonia system durin~ Deriods while the plant is unattended reduce the risk~n~ease to neighbors? A~e parts of the system ~o]ateH so that thc wors~ · ~r~dibl~ ~eQ~ase wo,,]d ho ~e~uced? (Section 7.7, pg.42). 9. Maintenance ..practices and operator training reduce the probability of an ammonia release. Risk reduction is a combination of the reduction of incident probability with lessening of consequences. (Section 7.7, pg 42) ' Wi~ an emergency respons~'planbe established and exercise~?~ : ~ Emergency shut down procedures and 'responsibilities ~'a~nn% · particularly important because the hazard analysis identified improper shutdown during an emergency as a hazard. How will the hazards of ammonia be communicated to the ~' administrators of the adjacent school? How will the school staff be notified during an emergency?Q%.q~ %~ %~the vapor pressure of sulfuric acid to be quoted at 68 F or C? Variations occur within these documents. ~ . Emergency action plans must comply with OSHA standards. (29 CFR Secti0n 1910.38) 11. Recent research at an ammonia training facility in.Sweden indicates that the addition of water to liquid ammonia evolves greater quantities of the gas than if the liquid is left alone until it can be pumped into a containment vessel. The video taped reference for this information, "Valuable Lessons Learned Regarding Anhydrous Ammonia", is available at the Fire Library located at the City/County Fire training facility on Victor St. Tapes may be borrowed using a Kern Co.~Library card. (Section 8.4, page 44) 12. What does the "major inspection and servicing program" "conducted and documented every two years by the refrigeration expert and Pepsi mechanics", referred to on page 10 of the hazard analysis, consist of? (Section 9.1, pg 46) How often.will the sulfuric acid system audit take place? (Section 9.2, Pg 46) 14. Are ~ssels a~equately braced to prevent falling or toppling - ~ during an earthquake? 15. Is verbal notification of a fire or chemical emergency adequate or is an audible alarm system necessary for the evacuation of such a large area? 16. Emergency evacuation routes through obstructed pathways and through sliding fire doors are unacceptable. The metal grated door behind the compressors does .not qualify as an exit. I have attached the exit plan and marked the areas which, need change. 17. 'Is the 150 pound ammonia cylinder safe from physical damage on a daily basis and from falling debris or equipment during an earthquake? 18. The hazard analysis notes that the sulfuric acid tank will not be filled unless the containment basin is free of water. How is the containment basin drained? Is there a lock on the valve controlling the drain line and a procedure to che~k the position of the valve prior to filling the tank? ~ · 19. The haz-op work sheets note various procedural controls in effect during delivery of sulfuric acid. The likelihood of a sulfuric acid release during delivery is rated as low. Is there a written procedure used to train the staff which documents their responsibilities regarding the delivery of ammonia? 4800 Easton Drive, Suite 114 - ~ Bakersfield, California 93309 Post Office Box 9217 Bakersfield, California 93389 805-326-1112 ... 805-326-0191 FAX 83 East Shaw Avenue, Suite 250 WZl INC.

COLA Bottling Company -Hazards Analysis Dear Barbara: Pursuant to your letter of September 10, 1991 requesting additional supporting documentation and information/clarification on the PEPSI-COLA Bottling Company (PEPSI) Hazards Analysis, we offer the following: suPPORT DOCUMENTATION NEEDED 1. A major earthquake would not be expected to rupture both ammonia refrigeration systems because the property is not located on a fault and the nearest significant active fault is about 37 miles south of the PEPSI facility. 'The part of the PEPSI facility which houses the ammonia systems was built according to Uniform 'Building Code in 1974. As a result, facility damage due to ground shaking is anticipated to be minimal. A geologic map of the Bakersfield area which indicates there is no faulting on the property is included as Exhibit 1. The property is located on Pleistocene alluvial deposits comprised of sand, silts, and clays. The Kern County Seismic Hazard . Atlas which is utilized in emergency preparedness planning does not identify any faults underlying the PEPSI facility. The PEPSI facility is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone. The Safety and Seismic Element of the Kern County General Plan (Saint-Armand, Engel, Park, and Williams, 1974) reported the entire central Kern County area is subject to moderate to severe ground shaking. All earthquakes have components of both vertical and horizontal ground acceleration (ground shaking). The ground shaking effect as distance increases from faults is attenuated. The most severe ground shaking would be caused by an earthquake on the White Wolf Fault, which is identified on Exhibit 1. This was determined by reviewing the history of earthquakes in California from records catalogued by the California Division of Mines and Geology (Real, Toppozada and Parke, 1978) since 1900, and more recent updates. From these records and mathematically computing the peak horizontal ground accelerations (Campbell, 1981) at the PEPSI site from various active faults in Southern California, it was determined that ground shaking at the ~ . PEPSI site from the la-rgest.~m'ax~imum-credible-earthqu~k-~-~the:White-Wolf-Fa_u~,--~,~-~,z would be more-severe than the-~-a-~e~t--r~a~imum credible earthquak~e-~-n-a-ny ~.~.~ other active fault in California. Peak horizontal ground accelerations from that .~ ~m% ~ event would be 0.35 g. The largest maximum probable event has ~,:C~~L hypothetical horizontal ground accelerations of 0.225 g. The above text shall be added to section 6.1.1 of the revised Hazards Analysis. References Saint-Armand, P., Engel, R., Park, W. H., and Williams, B.

W., 1981, Near-Source Attenuation of Peak Horizontal Acceleration, Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, Vol. 71, No. 6, pp 2039- 2072. 2. The sulfuric acid used by PEPSI is purchased from Pressure Vessel Service, Inc. (PVSI). 'PVSI is the local representative of General Chemical Corporation, who manufactures the sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid used by PEPSI is defined as "non-fuming". A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) on the sulfuric used by PEPSI is included as Exhibit 2. Also a MSDS shall be added to the revised Hazards Analysis as Appendix I. 3. The PEPSI ammonia refrigeration systems at the Bakersfield facility, are supervised and operated by highly trained and experienced personnel. The PEPSI personnel are supported by an ammonia refrigeration expert who is readily available on an as needed basis. The ammonia refrigeration systems are well maintained and a major inspection and servicing program is conducted and documented every two years by the refrigeration expert and PEPSI mechanics. These regular major inspections and servicing programs in conjunction with the daily maintenance and inspection programs conducted by PEPSI's highly trained and experienced mechanics minimize the risk of equipment failure and repairs and provide the basis of reliable data. Page 2 The PEPSI risk analysis conducted on the ammonia refrigeration systems has rated the probability of equipment failure as generally Iow, based on the minimum repairs of the compressor systems as documented by the major inspection and servicing program. The PEPSI ammonia refrigeration systems are highly automated. The design of the Bottle Line Processing System and Can Line Processing System is such that the trained operator needs only to switch on either Processing System and the ammonia compressors for that Process System will automatically begin operation. The highly trained, experienced mechanics inspect the ammonia compressor twice daily. The combination of highly automated systems and highly trained, experienced mechanics reduce the probability of human errors. The above text shall be added to section 4.1.2 of the revised Hazards Analysis.. 4. Sulfuric acid does present environmental consequences and section 3.2.4 of the revised Hazards Analysis shall be corrected. 5. The definitions of Iow, medium and high probability will be the same as listed in section 6.1.2 of the current Hazards Analysis. The definitions of Iow, medium and high probability shall be added to section 6.2.2 of the revised Hazards Analysis. 6. A new Exhibit 7, which defines the size of the sulfuric acid containment area and the distance between the containment area and the adjacent vending building, shall be added to section 3.2.2 of the revised Hazards Analysis. A copy is enclosed for your review. FURTHER CLARIFICATION NEEDED 1. The PEPSI hazardous material business plan shows the correct distance to the Community School. Section 5.1.2 of the revised Hazards Analysis shall be corrected. 2. The likelihood of a fire in the PEPSI facility has been rated Iow for the following reasons: a. The manufacturing building has been defined as a no smoking area. b. Smoking is allowed only in approved areas. c. On-site fire extinguishers are located at strategic points in the facility. d. Personnel training in the proper handling and operation of equipment will reduce the possibility of a condition which might create a fire condition. Page 3 e. Routine inspection and maintenance of equipment will reduce the possibility of a condition which might create a fire condition. f. Flammable or combustible materials are stored in only approved areas. g. Trash or waste materials which might contribute as a ignition source are not allowed to "stack up" and are removed from the facility. h. The administrative offices are equipped with heat sensing devices and alarm pull stations which are monitored by ADT Security Systems. ADT would notify the City of Bakersfield Fire Department if a device was actuated. i. The metal building is constructed with~_fir, e_-.~7~v-~ll~and fire doors which would retard the spreading of a fire. ~'~ ~i('¢, t?,c~ ,, j. The s_upp__ly-___and-shep_~;areas are equipped with water 'sprinklers which are actuated by heat fuses.-.~~ ~.~ ~;.%c~3~.~ ~ 5~r;c $-~ k. Personnel training in fire prevention methods minimize the possibility of a fire. The above text shall be added to section 4.1.2 of the revised Hazards Analysis. 3. The likelihood of a sulfuric acid release from a bulk tanker truck during the filling of the sulfuric acid storage tank, has been rated as a Iow probability. The worst case scenario would be a hose coming loose from the pump transferring sulfuric acid from the bulk tanker truck to the storage tank. The bulk tanker truck has a Iow pressure shutdown switch installed on the transfer pump discharge. If a drop in pump pressure occurred the pump would' immediately stop. Only one or two gallons of sulfuric acid would be spilled. The bulk tanker truck carries soda ash, which would be immediately applied to the sulfuric acid. The soda ash would neutralize the sulfuric acid and then be diluted with plenty of water. During transfer of the sulfuric acid, the bulk tanker truck parks adjacent to the sulfuric acid storage tank which is 105 feet from Grove Street. The sulfuric acid would be spilled on PEPSI's property and would be neutralized and diluted before any sulfuric acid would travel off-site into public areas or enter sewer or storm drains. There would be no damage to public or private property due to a sulfuric acid spill on PEPSI's property. The above text shall be added to section 4.2.1 of the revised Hazards Analysis. 4. The sulfuric acid storage tanks are manufactured by Poly Cai Plastics. I requested information on exposure of the tank to fire. The reply from Poly Cai Plastics is included as Exhibit 3. Page 4 Their field experience indicates that tanks built of high density, crosslink polyethylene plastic material will soften and deform rather than split or rupture when exposed to fire. Should flaming debris fall on top of the tank, they have seen the tank burn down to the liquid level and extinguish itself. Sulfuric acid is not a flammable liquid as noted on the MSDS, Exhibit 2. During a fire the worst consequences would be damage to the tank, allowing some sulfuric acid to leak into the containment area. There would be no off-site release of sulfuric acid. vJ~c~ o~o-V c~cc~n ~ ~o~.~r ,b-~o~(;~ (~ .lpg? The sulfuric acid h~ard and operabili~ study forms in Appendix VI of the revised H~ards Analysis shall be revised to include a fire. ~ ~oot~ ~ 5. The sulfuric acid used by PEPSI is .manufa~ured by General Chemical Corporation. ~hibit 4 is a leEer from General Chemical stating, they believe poured concrete retaining walls should last in excess of 30 days when continuously exposed to 93 percent sulfuric acid. ~'~ r.%~ ;~ Should a problem occur at the PEPSI facili~ and sulfuric acid was exposed to the concrete retaining walls, the m~imum exposure time would be three to four days. The above information shall be added to se~ion 6.2.2 of t~e revised H~ards Analysis. 6. The carbo aoaler room has a separate ventilation system than the produ~ion area. The carbo cooler room ventilation system is designed to exhaust the air in 5 minutes. The produ~ion area has five evaporative coolers located on the roof which blow fresh air into the building. The five evaporative coolers would displace the air volume of the produ~ive area in 5 minutes. Experiments conduced by the Unde~riters Laboratories showed that ammonia has an ignition temperature in air of 1,~0 degrees fahrenheit. Ammonia has a ve~ narrow flammable range in air of only 16 to 25 percent by volume. Due to this Iow susceptibili~ to ignition, ammonia is classified by the U. S. Depa~ment of Transpo~atian as a nonflammable gas. See U. S. Oode of Federal Regulations, 49 OFR 173.300(b)(1). The produ~s of combustion of ammonia are neither toxic nor h~ardous since they are nitrogen and water. The release of ammonia in the carbo cooler room would most likely result from a break in a liquid ammonia line going to or coming from the surge vessels in one of the ammonia refrigeration systems. The line break would most likely result from an ea~hquake. If a line did break in the carbo cooler room the consequences to a worker would be high. ,The likelihood of a line breaking would be minimal ~cause the building was built in 1974 to withstand ea~hquakes as required by the 1972 bui~aing standards. ~ ~ ~ ~. ~~ Page 5 The carbo' cooler room employees receive safety training and proper evacuation procedures which would minimize the danger of injury due to an ammonia line break.

Use water spray or other suitable agent for fires adjacent to non-leaking tanks or other containers of sulfuric acid. ~PECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PRECAUTIONS Do not use solid water streams near ruptured tanks or spills of sulfuric acid. Acid reacts violently with water and can spatter acid onto perrsonnel. VENTILATION Sufficient to reduce vapor and acid mists to permissible levels. Packaging and unloading areas and oPen processing equipment may require mechanical exhaust systems. Corrosion-proof construction recommended. Closed ventilation systems (e.g. vapor hoods) are frequently used in the electronics industry. NORMAL HANDLING Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing: Do not breathe vapor or mist. Use protective equipment outlined in Section E. Procedures are detailed in references listed in Section J. Do not add water to acid. When diluting, always add acid to water cautiously and with agitation. Use only with adequate ventilation. STORAG~ Protect from physical damage. Store in cool, well-ventilated area away from combustibles and reactive chemicals. Keep out of sun and away from heat. Keep containers upright. No smoking in storage area. SPILL OR LEAK (ALWAYS WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT- SECTION E) · Dilute small· spills Or ieaks Cautiously with plenty of water. Neutralize residue with alkali such as soda ash or lime. Adequate ventilation is required for soda ash due to release of CO2 gas. (See Section I for disposal methods). No smoking in spill area. - Major spills *must be handled by a predetermined plan.

We believe that a six-inch wall should last in excess of 30 days provided that: 1. the construction is rich in aggregate and lean in portland cement content, 2. acid concentration is maintained and not diluted with rain or other water sources, 3. there is to be no heating of the acid--including the heat of mixing with water, and 4. the acid will be quiescent, that is, no agitation of the acid in the vicinity of the wall. Certainly, a properly Constructed concrete wall will last well for normal emergency situations with minimal loss of wall whereby an accidental release is cleaned up within, say, three days. We'trust that'this is the information you desire. Please let us know if we may provide further assistance. AJI statements, and date given herein am believed te be accurate and mllabte but am pmaented without guaranty, our products am mede without representetion or warranty that any such use i~ free o~ patant infringement, and we or b%at other measures mey not he required.

Box 9217 Bakersfield· CA 93389 David: ° Thank 'you for the response to our questions regarding the Pepsi Hazards Analysis. Following are my comments regarding integration of. this information into the 'text of the existing Hazards Analysis. 'A couple of questions remain and these are noted with the section to which, they apply. 1. Definition of the worst credible case ammonia release: The information which yOu submitted regarding the seismic analysis for this site needs to include.the magnitude of the worst credible earthquake on the White Wolf fault. It should also include the reasons ~hy the plant piping is expected to tolerate a force of .35 g without failing. Inclusion of this information should satisfactorily substantiate the increased likelihood that one system will fail over the likelihood of a simultaneous failure of both .systems in the worst credible earthquake. Define the total release'of the ammonia from the 500 lb system as the "worst credibleY release. This release will be acceptable for purposes of the ammonia offsite consequence analysis. For emergency planning purposes, please include the diameter of'the hole through which a worst credible release of the 400 lb. ammonia.system would be expected to occur. 2. Probability of a fire at the Pepsi facility:' Section 2i - Is the metal building referred to the one adjacent to the sulfuric acid storage area? Include the time rating for the fire walls, i.e. 1 hr, 2 hr. Section 2j - Is thelbuilding directly adjaqent to the sulfuric acid storage area One .of the sprinklered areas? Please clarify these statements to address thes~ two questions. 3. Offsite consequences of sulfuric acid: Consider the generation'of sulfur trioxide during a fire in -in the plant adjacent to the sulfuric acid tanks. The Arson investigators' with the Bakersfield..Fire Safety Control Division indicate that normal structure fires burn at approximately 1800 F. Sulfur trioxide fumes escape.sulfuric acid at temperatures exceeding 572 F (300 C) per the MSDS. 4. I am researching the effects of sulfuric acid On concrete and have.requested a publication titled "Effects of Substances on Concrete and Protective Treatments" from the Portland Cement Association. Unless Pepsi can prove that their containment basin meets the specification outlined by General Chemical, concrete rich in aggregate and lean in cement, or my research indicates that. ordinary concrete can reasonably contain concentrated sulfuric acid, they will be required to coat the containment basin per the 1988 UFC. Aside from the 'specific changes noted, the information supplied in your response to.our questions should be integrated into the existing Hazard Analysis as you have proposed. There has been a Change in Bakersfield Fire's interpretation of a reportable release of which you need to be aware. A reportable release is now considered to be; any release of a hazardous material which threatens life, health or the environment or which equals or exceeds 42 gallons ( 1 barrel) of a liquid, 500 pounds of a solid or 200 cubic feet of a gas. This change has been made in order to insure compliance with the reporting quantities set for petroleum- products in above ground tanks prescribed'by Division 20, Chapter 6.67 of the CA Health and Safety Code. We are attempting to establish one value which complies with as many of the regulations as possible. However, any unauthorized release from an underground storage tank in the City must be reported to Bakersfield Fire under Chapter 6.7 of the California Health and Safety Code. I appreciate all of your efforts on this project. Sincerely, Barbara Brenner Hazardous Materials Planning Technician cc: Ralph Huey FIRE DEPARTMENT 2101 H STREET S. D.

Box 9217 Bakersfield, CA .93389 David: Having reviewed the hazards, risk and consequence analyses submitted for the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co., the following items remain issues of concern. I have broken, the items into two sections, those requiring supporting documentation and those which have either not been addressed yet or require clarification. Support Documentation Needed: 1. Provide specific information which documents the conclusions that a major earthquake would not be expected to cause a rupture in both ammonia systems.. This information should include the location and name of the fault which presents the greatest hazard to the Pepsi plant, the type and magnitude of ground accelerations which would be expected at the Pepsi site, pertinent geologic characteristics of this site, the year of the building code under which the building housing the ammonia refrigeration equipment was constructed, the type of damage which may be expected at the plant and reference citations for the sources Used to predict the impact of an earthquake on this specific site. 2. Please submit a manufacturer's material safety data sheet for the sulfuric acid 'to verify that this product is not fuming sulfuric acid. 3. Section 4, page 9 indicates that the probabilities of accidents were determined by use of reliability data° Please site the source of reliability statistics used to predict the probability of human errors and recovery rates as well as equipment failure and repair rates for the Pepsi risk analysis° 4. Please provide copies of the literature which'indicate that sulfuric acid does not have environmental consequences. See attached information from the Northridge Toxicology Center which disputes this conclusion. 5. Provide the definitions of low, medium and high probability as used in this study. 6. Provide the dimensions of the sulfuric acid containment basin and the distance between the containment basin and the adjacent building. Further Clarification Needed: 1. The vulnerability analysis indicates that the Community School is .1 mile (528') east of the Pepsi plant. Pepsi's site diagram, submitted with their haz mat business plan, shows a distance of 130' from the front of the wastewater facility to the rear of the mobile classroom facilities. Which information is accurate ? 2. Why has the likelihood of a fire in the Pepsi plant been rated low? Specify fire prevention controls. 3. The likelihood of a worst credible case sulfuric acid release, from a bulk tanker, has been rated as low. From our discussions, I understand that the rating of low is based upon the sulfuric acid distributor's prior experience. What are the consequences of such a release? How much sulfuric acid could be spilled, where would the acid flow, would the acid travel off Site into areas of public access, could public or private property damage· occur due to concentrated acid exposure, would, the acid be able to enter sewer or storm drain systems ? 4. The hazard analysis for the sulfuric acid facility does not include exposure of the tank and material to fire. What are the probability and consequences of a sulfuric acid release during a fire? Pepsi's hazardous materials management plan indicates that acetylene and LPG are' stored and used in the·vending building immediately adjacent to the acid storage tank. Oxygen and combustible liquids are shown to be stored and used in the fleet shop on the other side of the acid storage. 5. The predicted consequences of sulfuric acid releases as low appear to be based upon the ability of the concrete dike to contain the liquid. How long can the concrete be expected to withstand the corrosion by of the acid? 6. Section 4, page 12 notes that indoor releases of ammonia are dangerous due to the potentiaL for ammonia vapor buildup in areas of the building which are not well ventilated. What is the capacity of the plant ventilation system? Is the ventilation system capable of diluting ammonia vapors during an ammonia release so that explosive ranges are not reached? What are the severity of consequences to a worker in the carbo cooler room at the time of a an ammonia release? I need the responses to these questions and the additional information before I can review or comment on the adequacy of the RMPP. Please call me if any of my concerns are unclear as stated above.

Businesses handling reportable quantifies of Acutely I-l~rdous Materials that have not submitted a business plan MUST contact local Administering Agencies. The business plan submission date will assure the Administering .Agency that a business plan has been submitted and is on file. This will also immediately identify businesses that have not submitted business plans. 3. "Process Designation" is provided as a reporting option (with the approval of the Administering Agency) for facilities flint can most easily report by process. Thus, facility RMPP registration data could be submitted in a similar format to a business plan that is divided by tnocess. "By process" dam can initiate an emergency response to a process incident rather than a general emergency response to a major facility. Process designation can simplify inspections for major facilities and improve future emergency response. 4. Refer to the EPA list of Extremely HaTardous Substances from the Federal Register (Volume 52, No. 77, p. 13397 et. sea_., April 22, 1987). Each chemical has a threshold planning quantity. This list may be changed by EPA on an annual basis. Updates of this list may be available early in 1988. To comply with this element, you may attach a copy of the inventory submitted to your Administering Agency from your business plan and highlight all Acutely Hazardous Materials. It is'recommended that facilities list all exlremely tmT~ardous chemicals handled in quantifies · equ,91' to or in excess of 1) 500 pounds, and 2) any EPA threshold planning quantity less than 500 pounds. 5.

Sincerely, Barbara Brenner }tazardous Materials Planning Technician NOVEMBER 26, 1990 Bakersfield Fire Department Barbara Brenner, Hazardous Material Planning Technician 2130 G Street Bakersfield, CA 93301 Dear Ms. Brenner~ I am responding to your inquiry regarding, our inventory of acutely hazardous materials (AHM). Since March 1988, there have been no · ' significant changes in the total amount on hand at any one time. I have taken..the time to inspect the various departments such as Vending, Fleet and Maintenance, Warehouse, and other areas and found no reportable quantities, i.e., not.greater than or equal to 500 lbs, 55 gallon liquid, or 200 Ft3. However, there has been a new facility added which is currently utilizing AHM in the form of a chemical reaction. This is our recently installed-Waste Water Treatment facility. In complying with the City of Bakersfield requirements, we were instructed to develop a system to maintain a waste water ph level of 6.00-10.OO. In doing so, we are currently using sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and caustic soda (NaOH) to neutralize our waste water to comply with City of Bakersfield requirements. Please see additional information attached. As far as our total quantity of ammonia is concerned, we have updated or made corrections based on the total amount on hand at any one time. The report we submitted in 1988 states that we have 5 tanks of ammonia of 150 lbs. each. Based on my recent investigation, we have a total of 350 lbs on the bottle-line, 300 lbs on-the can line, and 450 lbs on reserve. This qives a total of 11OO lbs.% times 2~~ equals 24,75OFt3. The quantity reported in 1988 was 1~,875Ft3 which reflects an increase of 7,875Ft3. 2! 5 East 21st Street. Bakersfield. California 93305 ' 805/327-9991 ;.

Refers to my report entitled Alquist-Priolo Special StUdies Zone and Engineering Geology Report on Tract 5149 in 1989. Dear Mr. Turner: The following is given in reply 'to the above indicated letter by numbered section: 1. Paragraph 1 - "Lineaments on photos, 1981, appear to be structural." They are not structural for the following reasons: November 1952 photos do not show any lineaments. near Tract 5149. None of the surface cracks or "mole tracks" of the 1952 Arvin-Tehachapi earthquake in tha Ant Hill area were 'visible by the end of 1952. They did not affect the asphalt paving on Highway 178, whereas movement on both the White Wolf and Garlock faults ruptured paved roads. The surface cracks conform to no known faults and cut at random across topo- graphic.features. They are considered to be the result of earth-lurch against rising granite base- ment. The ruptures are no more faults than is displacement in a landslide. Northwest in Section 9,. 2600 feet of trenches were dug by me in the Alquist-Priolo Zone. No faulting was found. The open trenches were checked by Lyle Timberlake, ; County Geologist; and Henry Walrond, Consulting Geologist. .. CERTIFIED ENGINEERING GEOLOGIST The active Kern Gorge fault is the focus of earthquakes of minor magnitude during~the past several years. The White Wolf fault, 14 miles southeast continues to be active since 1952 when the 7 to 7.9 magnitude Arvin-Tehachapi earthquake occurred with epicenter 25 miles southwest of the Site. A Richter magnitude 7~3/4 earthquake on the White Wolf fault may occur every 200 years Acceleration ~of gravity in bedrock may be.0.5 during this event and greater in overlYing~sediments. Lesser acceleration may occur from earthquakes originating on the Garlock and San Andreas faults. S~e illustrations. ~,. Trenching. Two 700 foot. trenches were dug to locate surface faulting. None was found. Accompanying are detailed pro- files of the trenches. . -~ ..... The trenches were in lower Kern River Series.

(hydrogen 'sulfate; battery acid; electrolyte acid). CAS: 7664-93-9. HaSO4. By far the most widely used indus- trial chemical, its production was 79.23 billion pounds· in 1985. Highest-volume chemical pro- duced in US (1985). Properties: Strongly corrosive, dense, oily liquid; colorless to dark bi'own depending on purity; miscible with water. Very reactive, dissolves most metals; Concentrated acid oxidizes, dehydrates, or sulfonates most organic compounds, often causes charring; d of pure material 1.84; mp 10.4C; bp varies over range 315-338C due to loss of sulfur trioxide during heating to 300C or higher. Note: Use great caution in mixing with water due to heat evolution that causes explosive spattering. Always 'add the acid to water, never the reverse. Derivation: From sulfur, pyrite (FeS:), hydrogen sulfide, or sulfur-containing smelter gases by the contact process (vanadium pentoxide catalyst). The first step is combustion of elemental sulfur or roasting of iron pyrites to yield sulfur dioxide. Then follows the critical reaction--catalytic oxi- dation of sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide (so + 425 C in a foUr-stage converter at 425--450C with evolu- tion of heat. After cooling to 160C, the sulfur trioxide is absorbed in a circulating stream of 98-99% sulfuric acid, where it unites with the small excess of water in the acid to form more sulfuric acid. (SO~ + H~O 260°C-~H~SO~) Sulfuric acid can also be made by the "Cat-Ox" '- process and from gypsum ·(calcium 'sulfate). Grade: Commercial 60 degrees B6: (d 1.71, 77.7% sulfuric acid); 66 degrees B6 (d 1.84, 93.2% sul- furic acid); 98% (d 1.84); 99% (d 1.84). 100% Use: Fertilizers, chemicals, dyes and etchant, alkylation catalyst, electroplating baths,. iron and steel, rayon and f'tim, industrial explo-. sives, lab reagent, nonferrous metallurgy.

May be prepd in the labor- at,fy by heating fuming sulfuric acid and collecting the sub- timate in a cooled receiver. If the vapor is condensed above 27', the ;,-form is obtained as a liquid. If the vapor is con- densed below 27' and in the presence of a trace of moisture, a mixture of all~ 3 forms is obtained. The 3 forms can be separated by fractional distillation. The a-form is the stable modification, the B- and -~-forms are metastable. a-Form, asbestos-like needles, mp 62.3'. Vapor pressure at 25' = 73 mm. B-Form, asbestos-like neeedles, mp 32.5'.

Melted SOs exists in the 'r-form and on solidifying tends to the a-form. The difference in vapor pressures explains the so-called "alpha explosion" .of sulfur trioxide. Heating of high-melting SOs in glass vessels should be avoided to possible shattering of the container. Absolutely dry SOs is not corrosive to metals and shows no acid reaction. On exposure to air, it absorbs moisture rapidly, emitting dense white fumes. Combines with water with explosive violence (heat of dilution 504 eals/g) forming sulfuric acid. Due to this avidity for water, SO~ chars many organic sub- stances. On contact with wood shavings the heat produced by dehydration is sufficient to cause fire. Under the trademark Sulfan, a product is marketed which contains 0.5% of a stabilizer to prevent polymerization to higher melting forms: Sulfan A consists largely of B-SO~ and melts at 30-35°; Sulfan B consists largely of -~-SOs and melts at 17°. Sulfan C contains no stabilizer and will poly- merize to a-SOy USE: Intermediate in sulfuric acid manuf; in sulfonations for formation of addition compds with amines; in the manuf of explosives.
