(Approximately 300 lbs. of Anhydrous Ammonia in our cooling system or on hand at anytime) GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PROCESSES AND PRINCIPAL EQUIPMENTS: The warm ammonia gas vapor is transfered by suction from the carbo-cooler to a compressor. The compressor cools and c~presses the vapor to a semi-liquid. The liquid is discharged from the compressor to an evaporative cooling condensor and receiver. The vapor cools to a liquid in this process and is stored in the reciever for use. The liquid in the receiver is transfered to the cooling plates in the carbo-cooler where it removes heat from the product going over the cooling plates. The liquid ammonia becomes a a vapor (gas) at this point. The ammonia vapor cycle begins again. SIGNATURE TITLE Plant Manager PRINTED NAME Alex Manns DATE 5-16-89 California Office of Emergency Services FORM HM 3777 (1-15-88) INSTRUCTIONS; Superscripts: 1. Quantifies for RMPP compliance are "equal to or greater than" the minimum criteria and apply to chemicals handled "at any one time". 2. Businesses handling reportable quantities of Acutely Ha~'~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. "Pmce,~ Designation" is provided as a reporting option (with the approval of the Administering Agency) for facilities that 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 process. "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 Hazardous Substances from the Federal Register (Volume 52, No. 77, p. 13397 et. seq., April 22, 1987). Each chemical has a threshold planning quantity. This list may he 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 aH extremely bnTnrdous chemicals handled in quantifies equal to or in excess of 1) 500 pounds, and 2) any EPA threshold planning quantity less than 500 pounds. 5. Do not include Trade Secret information in these descriptions. General: For emergency response purposes, it would be desirable to describe the following to the Administering Agency: 1. Batch Process: a. What raw materials? b. What opaating pressure range? c. What opa-ating tempemtare range? d. Batch capacity rating? e. Product characteristics? (e.g., chemical state, flammability, toxicity, etc.) f. Critical process points and characteristics? 2. Continuous process: ('.similar information as above.) NOTE: "Pursuant to §25534, the Administering Agency may require the submission of a Risk Management Prevention Program (RMPP), if the Administ~ing Agency de,~,~ that the handler's operation may present an acutely hazardous materials accident risk. Thehandler shall prelmm the RMPP in accordance with subdivision (c) [of §25534]. The RMPP shall be prepared wilifin 12 months following the request made by the Administering Agency pursuant to this section." (§ 25534 (a) I-Iealth and Safety Code) An amendment to the RMPP must be submitted to the Administering Agency within 30 days of: 1. Any additional handling of acutely hazardous materinJ.~ 3.

Bakersfield, Ca. 93301 Dear Mr. Wines, Following is a description of the ammonia incident dated June 16, 2003 according to John Davis, Maintenance Manager. June 16, 2003, 5:30 p.m. The ammonia system has been shut down for a couple of days due to an oil contamination in the compressors. We finished cleaning the compressors and were back on line. The suction pressure was at 60 psi and the discharge pressure was around 160 - 180 psi when a two-inch valve on the oil cooler cycling line started spewing ammonia, approximately 25 pounds, into the atmosphere. Before the system could go into an automatic shut down, I went over and turned the switch into emergency shut down which closed the king valve and shut down the compressors. I asked one person working with me to close offall of the discharge valves on the roof. The other person and I proceeded to isolate the leak in the compressor room. Not knowing how severe the leak was at the time, I called 911 and asked for back up. By the time the Fire Department and HAZMAT team showed up, we had the situation isolated and under control. We evacuated all of the ammonia out of the line and into a water bath. We then called James Bartell to come in and assist in repairing the system. The Fire Department was there for about 30 minutes and said everything was okay. The HAZMAT team walked through with me and was satisfied with the situation. They left one truck and crew of two people to oversee the area. The crew left within two hours. CRYSTAL GEYSER WATER COMPANY P.O.

We are monitoring the system on a daily basis to make sure all is doing well.

Preliminary Determinations 1. Line drawings prepared by Refrigeration Technology have been added to safety information to replace inaccurate blueprints. Blueprints are still in the RMP book for reference. ~ 2. The daily operating procedures have been included in our safety information referenced within the WZI documents on page 46. 3. The ammonia sensor in the filler room now has both visual and audible alarms tied into the sensor as required. We took it a step further and also wired in a visual light in the production area to alert employees that there may be an incident occurring with the ammonia system. Employees will be ready to evacuate if needed. 4. The "Clean in Place" system was studied and found to be operating correctly. The study was conducted to evaluate the cause of over pressurizing the holding vessel, resulting in small losses through the HPRV and into the vent lines. This had happened three times over the last few years. The causes were two fold, operator errors and electric solenoid failure. To fix this problem, we installed a by-pass backpressure regulator. The existing 30-psi regulator allows us to maintain desired normal operating temperatures. The by-pass will only come into effect if during hot CIP or component failure causes pressures to raise up to 75 to 100 psi. The ammonia would be able to travel back to the master accumulator where it would all boil off and be compressed. CRYSTAL GEYSER WATER COMPANY P.O.

It now references the oil drain trap at the bottom of the high-pressure receiver. 6. The preventative maintenance checklists have been rewritten to meet Frick Manufacturers recommended schedule. 7. The training matrix for individual employee training records has been updated. Training specifics listed are ammonia safety, ammonia diffusion, SCBA, Fire Safety, Emergency Notification, Evacuation Procedures, and Forklift Certification. 8. Release incident reporting was re-organized; page 27 was put in page following 66. Release reporting page 40 and follow up reporting was left in place. 9. This will be a standard response after each ammonia system audit. The last audit dated 01/15/03 has been documented and results were completed. Two items both addressed here were item no. 4 and 5. Thank you for your help. Crystal Geyser will strive towards following all the plan elements. Sincerely, Robert Hofferd Safety Sup~ CRYSTAL GEYSER WATER COMPANY P.O.

Has limited or restricted means for entry or exit (i.e. tanks, vessels, silos, storage bins, hoppers, vaults, and pits are spaces that may have limited means of entry). Is not designed for continuous employee occupancy. Permit required confined space (permit space), is a confined space that has one or more of the following characteristics: Contains or has a potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere. Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing an entrant. Has an internal configuration such that an entrant could be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly covering walls or by a floor which, slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross-section. Contains any other recognized serious safety or health hazard. Each Permit-Required Confined Space will be marked "Confined Space - Entry Permit Required". Entry Standard Operating Procedures A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) has been developed for each space to standardize the entry procedure. The SOP outlines: Hazards Hazard Control & Abatement Acceptable Entry Conditions Means of Entry Entry Equipment Required Emergency Procedures Permit Required Confined Space Entry General Rules During all Confined Space Entries, the following Safety Rules must be strictly enforced: 1. Only Authorized and Trained Employees may enter a Confined Space or act as Safety Watchmen. 2. No Smoking is permitted in a Confined Space or near entrance/exit area. 3. During Confined Space Entries, a Watchmen must be present at all times. 4. Constant visual or voice communication will be maintained between the Safety Watchmen and Employees entering a Confined Space. 5. No bottom or side entry will be made or work conducted below the level any hanging material or material which could cause engulfment. 6. Air and Oxygen Monitoring is required before entering any Permit-Required Confined Space. Oxygen levels in a Confined Space must be between 19.5 and 23.5 percent. Levels above or below will require the use of an SCBA or other approved air supplied respirator. Additional ventilation and Oxygen Level Monitoring is required when welding is performed. The monitoring will check Oxygen Levels, Explosive Gas Levels and Carbon Monoxide Levels. Entry will not be permitted if explosive gas is detected above one-half the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL). 7. To prevent injuries to others, all openings to Confined Spaces will be protected by a barricade when covers are removed. Confined Space Entry Procedures Each employee who enters or is involved in the entry must: 1. Understand the procedures for confined Space Entry 2. Know the Hazards of the specific space 3. Review the specific procedures for each entry 4. Understand how to use entry and rescue equipment Confined Space Entry Permits Confined Space Entry Permits must be completed before any Employee enters a Permit-Required Confined Space. The Permit must be completed and signed by an Authorized Member of Management before entry. Permits will expire before the completion of the shift or if any pre-entry conditions change. Permits will be maintained on file for 12 months. Contractor Entry All work by non-company employees that involves the entry into confined spaces will follow the procedures of this program. The information of this program and specific hazards of the confined spaces to be entered will be provided to Contractor Management prior to commencing entry or work.

Rescue training, including entry and removal from representative spaces Confined Space Hazards Flammable Atmospheres A flammable atmosphere generally arises from enriched oxygen atmospheres, vaporization of flammable liquids, byproducts of work, chemical reactions, concentrations of combustible dusts, and desorption of chemical from inner surfaces of the confined space. An atmosphere becomes flammable when the ratio of oxygen to combustible material in the air is neither too rich nor too lean for combustion to occur. Combustible gases or vapors will accumulate when there is inadequate ventilation in areas such as a confined space. Flammable gases such as acetylene, butane, propane, hydrogen, methane, natural or manufactured gases or vapors from liquid hydrocarbons can be trapped in confined spaces, and since many gases are heavier than air, they will seek lower levels as in pits, sewers, and various types of storage tanks and vessels. In a closed top tank, it should also be notgd that lighter than air gases may rise and develop a flammable concentration if trapped above the opening. The byproducts of work procedures can generate flammable or explosive conditions within a confined space. Specific kinds of work such as spray painting can result in the release of explosive gases or vapors. Welding in a confined space is a major cause of explosions in areas that contain combustible gas. Chemical reactions forming flammable atmospheres occur when surfaces are initially exposed to the atmosphere, or when chemicals combine to form flammable gases. This condition arises when dilute sulfuric acid reacts with iron to form hydrogen or when calcium carbide makes contact with water to form acetylene. Other examples of spontaneous chemical reactions that may produce explosions from small amounts of unstable compounds are acetylene-metal compounds, peroxides, and nitrates. In a dry state, these compounds have the potential to explode upon percussion or exposure to increased temperature. Another class of chemical reactions that form flammable atmospheres arise from deposits of pyrophoric substances (carbon, ferrous oxide, ferrous sulfate, iron, etc.) that can be found in tanks used by the chemical and petroleum industry. These tanks containing flammable deposits will spontaneously ignite upon exposure to air. Combustible dust concentrations are usually found during the process of loading, unloading, and conveying grain products, nitrated fertilizers, finely ground chemical products, and any other combustible material. High charges of static electricity, which rapidly accumulate during periods of relatively low humidity (below 50%), can cause certain substances to accumulate electrostatic charges of sufficient energy to produce sparks and ignite a flammable atmosphere. These sparks may also cause explosions when the right air or oxygen to dust or gas mixture is present. Toxic Atmospheres The substances to be regarded as toxic in a confined space can'cover the entire spectrum of gases, vapors, and finely-divided airborne dust in industry. The sources of toxic atmospheres encountered may arise from the following: The manufacturing process (for example, in producing polyvinyl chloride, hydrogen chloride is used as will as vinyl chloride monomer, which is carcinogenic). The product stored [removing decomposed organic material from a tank can liberate toxic substances, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S)]. The operation performed in the confined space (for example, welding or brazing with metals capable of producing toxic fumes). During loading, unloading, formulation, and production, mechanical and/or human error may also produce toxic gases which are not part of the planned operation. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a hazardous gas that may build up in a confined space. This odorless, colorless gas that has approximately the same density as air is formed from incomplete combustion of organic materials such as wood, coal, gas, oil, and gasoline; it can be formed from microbial decomposition of organic matter in sewers, silos, and fermentation tanks. Carbon monoxide is an insidious toxic gas because of its poor warning properties. Early stages of CO intoxication are nausea and headache. Carbon monoxide may be fatal at 1000 ppm in air, and is considered dangerous at 200 ppm, because it forms carboxyhemoglobin in the blood which prevents the distribution of oxygen in the body. Carbon monoxide is a relatively abundant colorless, odorless gas, therefore, any untested atmosphere must be suspect. It must also be noted that a safe reading on a combustible gas indicator does not ensure that CO is not present. Carbon monoxide must be tested for specifically. The formation of CO may result from chemical reactions or work activities, therefore fatalities due to CO poisoning are not confined to any particular industry. There have been fatal accidents in sewage treatment plants due to decomposition products and lack of ventilation in confined spaces. Another area where CO results as a product of decomposition is in the formation of silo gas in grain storage elevators. In another area, the paint industry, varnish is manufactured by introducing the various ingredients into a kettle, and heating them in an inert atmosphere, usually town gas, which is a mixture of carbon dioxide and nitrogen. In welding operations, oxides of nitrogen and ozone are gases of major toxicologic importance, and incomplete oxidation may occur and carbon monoxide can form as a byproduct. Another poor work practice, which has led to fatalities, is the recirculation of diesel exhaust emissions. Increased CO levels can be prevented by strict control of the ventilation and the use of catalytic convertors. Irritant (Corrosive) Atmospheres Irritant or corrosive atmospheres can be divided into primary and secondary groups. The primary irritants exert no systemic toxic effects (effects on the entire body). Examples of primary irritants are chlorine, ozone, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, nitrogen dioxide, ammonia, and sulfur dioxide. A secondary irritant is one that may produce systemic toxic effects in addition to surface irritation. Examples of secondary irritants include benzene, carbon tetrachloride, ethyl chloride, trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, and chloropropene. Irritant gases vary widely among all areas of industrial activity. They can be found in plastics plants, chemical plants, the petroleum industry, tanneries, refrigeration industries, paint manufacturing, and mining operations. Prolonged exposure at irritant or corrosive concentrations in a confined space may produce little or no evidence of irritation. This may result in a general weakening of the defense reflexes from changes in sensitivity. The danger in this situation is that the worker is usually not aware of any increase in his/her exposure to toxic substances. Asphyxiating Atmospheres The normal atmosphere'is composed approximately of 20.9% oxygen and 78.1% nitrogen, and 1% argon with small amounts of various other gases. Reduction of oxygen in a confined space may be the result of either consumption or displacement. The consumption of oxygen takes place during combustion of flammable substances, as in welding, heating, cutting, and brazing. A more subtle consumption of oxygen occurs during bacterial action, as in the fermentation process. Oxygen may also be consumed during chemical reactions as in the formation of rust on the exposed surface of. the confined space (iron oxide). The number of people working in a confined space and the amount of their physical activity will also influence the oxygen consumption rate. A second factor in oxygen deficiency is displacement by another gas. Examples of gases that are used to displace air, and therefore reduce the oxygen level are helium, argon, and nitrogen. Carbon dioxide may also be used to displace air and can occur naturally in sewers, storage bins, wells, tunnels, wine vats, and grain elevators. Aside from the natural development of these gases, or their use in the chemical process, certain gases are also used as inerting agents to displace flammable substances and retard pyrophoric reactions. Gases such as nitrogen, argon, helium, and carbon dioxide, are frequently referred to as non-toxic inert gases but have claimed many lives. The use of nitrogen to inert a confined space has claimed more lives than carbon dioxide. The total displacement of oxygen by nitrogen will cause immediate collapse and death. Carbon dioxide and argon, with specific gravities greater than air, may lie in a tank or manhole for hours or days after opening. Since these gases are colorless and odorless, they pose an immediate hazard to health unless appropriate oxygen measurements and ventilation are adequately carried out. Oxygen deprivation is one form of asphyxiation. While it is desirable to maintain the atmospheric oxygen level at 21% by volume, the body can tolerate deviation from this ideal. When the oxygen level falls to 17%, the first sign of hypoxia is a deterioration to night vision which is not noticeable until a normal oxygen concentration is restored. Physiologic effects are increased breathing volume and accelerated heartbeat. Between 14-16% physiologic effects are increased breathing volume, accelerated heartbeat, very poor muscular coordination, rapid fatigue, and intermittent respiration. Between 6-10% the effects are nausea, vomiting, inability to perform, and unconsciousness. Less than 6%, spasmatic breathing, convulsive movements, and death in minutes. Mechanical Hazards If activation of electrical or mechanical equipment would cause injury, each piece of equipment should be manually isolated to prevent inadvertent activation before workers enter or while they work in a confined space. The interplay of hazards associated with a confined space, such as the potential of flammable vapors or gases being present, and the build-up of static charge due to mechanical cleaning, such as abrasive blasting, all influence the precautions which must be taken. ~ To Prevent vapor leaks, flashbacks, and other hazards, workers should completely isolate the space. To completely isolate a confined space, the closing of valves is not sufficient. All pipes must be physically disconnected or isolation blanks bolted in place. Other special precautions must be taken in cases where flammable liquids or vapors may re-contaminate the confined space. The pipes blanked or disconnected should be inspected and tested for leakage to check the effectiveness of the procedure. Other areas of concern are. steam valves, pressure lines, and chemical transfer pipes. A less apparent hazard is the space referred to as a void, such as double walled vessels, which must be given special consideration in blanking off and inerting. Thermal Effects Four factors influence the interchange of heat between people and their environment. They are: (1) air temperature, (2) air velocity, (3) moisture contained in the air, and (4) radiant heat. Because of the nature and design of most confined spaces, moisture content and radiant heat are difficult to control. As the body temperature rises progressively, workers will continue to function until the body temperature reaches approximately 102oF. When this body temperature is exceeded, the workers are less efficient, and are prone to heat exhaustion, heat cramps, or heat stroke. In a cold environment, certain physiologic mechanisms come into play, which tend to limit heat loss and increase heat production. The most severe strain in cold conditions is chilling of the extremities so that activity is restricted. Special precautions must be taken in cold environments to prevent frostbite, trench foot, and general hypothermia. Protective insulated clothing for both hot and cold environments will add additional bulk to the worker and must be considered in allowing for movement in the confined space and exit time. Therefore, air temperature of the environment becomes an important consideration when evaluating working conditions in confined spaces. Noise Noise problems are usually intensified in confined spaces' because the interior tends to cause sound to reverberate and thus expose the worker to higher sound levels than those found in an open environment. This intensified noise increases the risk of hearing damage to workers which could result in temporary or permanent-loss of hearing. Noise in a confined space which may not be intense enough to cause hearing damage may still disrupt verbal con~nunication with the emergency standby person on the exterior of the confined space. If the workers inside are not able to hear commands or danger signals due to excessive noise, the probability of severe accidents can increase. Vibration Whole body vibration may affect multiple body parts and organs depending upon the vibration characteristics. Segmental vibration, unlike whole body vibration, appears to be more localized in creating injury to the fingers and hands of workers using tools, such as pneumatic harmners, rotary grinders or other hand tools which cause vibration. Other Hazards ' ' Some physical hazards cannot be eliminated because of the nature of the confined space or the work to be performed. These hazards include such items as scaffolding, surface residues, and structural hazards. The use of scaffolding in confined spaces has contributed to many accidents caused by workers or materials falling, improper use of guard rails, and lack of maintenance to insure worker safety. The choice of material used for scaffolding depends upon the type of work to be performed, the calculated weight to be supported, the surface on which the scaffolding is placed, and the substance previously stored in the confined space. Surface residues in confined spaces can increase the already hazardous conditions of electrical shock, reaction of incompatible materials, liberation of toxic substances, and bodily injury due to slips and falls. Without protective clothing, additional hazards to health may arise due to surface residues. Structural hazards within a confined space such as baffles in horizontal tanks, trays in vertical towers, bends in tunnels, overhead structural merabers, or scaffolding installed for maintenance constitute physical hazards, which are exacerbated by the physical surroundings. In.dealing with structural hazards, workers must review and enforce safety precautions to assure safety.

"AMERICA'S OCTOBER 1, 2002 NATURAL BEVERAGE COM PA N Y" TIM RYAN CITY OF BAKERSFIELD WASTEWATER DIVISION 8101 ASHE RD BAKERSFIELD, CA 93313 RE: pH VIOLATION 12.6 ON 09/27/02 THRU 09/29/02 On 9/27/02 which was Friday night zone #1 drifted to a low pH below 6.00. The Sodium Hydroxide pump for zone #1 responded by injecting chemical to zone #1, but the probe did not respond to chemical because the probe was dirty and frozen at a low pH. Because zone #1 had a problem, then zone #2 became a problem also. Sodium Hydroxide floated over from zone 1 to zone 2, giving zone 2 high pH that made Hydrocloric Acid pump to go on to lower pH. But because zone 1 probe being dirty and frozen made all the chemicals pump out to the sump. I first reported that we had lost 145 Gals. HCL and 225 Gals Sodium Hydroxide further investigation the correct amount is 145 Gals HCL AND 125 Gals Sodium Hydroxide. Final was a low pH where pumps shut offautomatically. We did have a small problem with one of the water towers float being stuck. So with that, water filled the sump to high level, and eventually filled sump where it started to gravitate discharge into sewer. On Sunday night when the QC Tech arrived he found system in violation. He called and informed me of the problem. Then he went out to calibrate all zones, that was when he found out that zone l was dirty and fi'ozen. After calibration zone 1 responed and came back on line to correct pH. QC department has been told that from now on the last QC Tech on duty for the last day of the week to pump sump down before leaving. We are upgrading our wastewater with new Analyzer/Controllers, and Probe. Hopefully this will prevent any further violations. iSincerely, Harry Ba~ba QC Supervisor Cc: Richard Weklych Howard Wines CRYSTAL GEYSER WATER COMPANY P.O.

The primary objectives of the CalARP RMP program are to identify the causes and consequences of accidental releases of hazardo,us substances and the means to prevent such releases from occurring, .to promote industry safety initiatives in these areas, and to share activities with the community. The CalARP program, under California law, is part of this broad federal EPA accidental release prevention of toxic air emissions initiative under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, Section 112(r), and has been designed to additionally implement the following chemical accident prevention policies: · A significant number of chemical manufacturing and processing facilities generate, store, treat, handle, refine, process, and transport hazardous materials. Because of the nature and volume of chemicals handled at these facilities, some of those operations may represent a threat to public health and safety if chemicals are accidentally released. · The potential for explosions, fires, or releases of toxic chemicals into the environment exists. The protection of the public from uncontrolled releases or explosions of hazardous materials is of statewide concern. · There is an increasing capacity to both minimize and respond to releases of toxic air contaminants and hazardous materials once they occur, and to formulate plans to evacuate or shelter-in-place citizens if these discharges or releases cannot be immediately contained. However, programs designed to prevent these accidents are the most effective way to protect the community health and safety and the environment. These programs should anticipate the circumstances that could result in their occurrence and require the taking of necessary precautionary and preemptive actions, consistent with the nature of the hazardous materials handled by the facility and the surrounding environment. · The public has a right to know about acutely hazardous materials accident risks that may affect their health and safety, and that this right includes full and timely access to hazard assessment information, including offsite consequence analysis for the most likely hazards, which identifies the offsite area which may be required to take protective action in the event of an acutely hazardous materials release. · The public has a right to participate in decisions about risk reduction options and measures to be taken to reduce the risk or severity of acutely hazardous materials accidents. The audit consists of interviews with facility personnel and onsite review of various aspects of facility operations and documents related to the prevention of accidental chemical releases. In accordance with Section 25534.5 (CH&SC), the Bakersfield Fire Department - Office of Environmental Services (BFI)- OES) shall have access to the facility, supporting documentation, and any area where an accidental release could occur. Specific topics addressed in the audit typically include, but may not be limited to: · Process characteristics. 4 · Hazard evaluation and release detection techniques. · Training of operators and emergency response personnel. · Management structure (corporate and facility). · Preventive maintenance and inspection programs. · Community notification mechanisms and techniques. Based on the audit, the BFD-OES may issue the facility a written preliminary determination of any necessary revisions to the RMP to ensure that the RMP meets the criteria contained in federal and/or State laws and regulations, as applicable. The preliminary determination shall include an explanation for the basis for the revisions, reflecting industry standards and guidelines (e.g.: AIChE/CCPS guidelines and ASME, API, ISO standards, etc.) to the extent that such standards and guidelines are applicable, and shall include a timetable for their implementation. Any such preliminary determinations are included herewith in this audit report under Section 13.0 - Preliminary Determinations. Please refer to that section of this report for specific determinations. The facility shall respond in writing within 90 days of the issue of the preliminary determinations contained herein, or a shorter period of time if specified in the determinations as necessary to proteCt public health, safety and the environment, lh'ior to the response being due and upon written request from the facility, the BFD-OES may provide in writing additional time for the response to be received. The response shall state that the facility will implement the revisions contained in the preliminary determination in accordance with the timetable included therein, or shall state that the facility rejects the revisions in whole or in part. For each rejected revision, the facility shall explain the basis for rejecting such revision. Such explication may include substitute revisions. After providing the facility an opportunity to respond, the BFD-OES may issue a written final determination of necessary revisions to the RAMP. The BFD-OES will develop a timetable for implementing the revisions in consultation with the facility. The final determination may adopt or modify the revisions contained in the preliminary determination, or may adopt or modify the substitute revisions provided in the facility's response. A final determination that does not adopt a substitute revision provided by the facility shall include an explanation of the basis for finding such substitute revision unreasonable. 5 1.2 Crystal Geyser Water Company Audit This report contains observations, conclusions, and preliminary determinations from an audit conducted at Crystal Geyser Water Company beverage bottling plant in Bakersfield, California, initiated on May 10, 2002. The facility was selected for an audit to verify compliance with the CalARP program regulations within a three year cycle. This report identifies and characterizes the strengths of specific chemical process safety management program areas to allow the elements that are particularly effective to be recognized, as well as to make any preliminary determinations of where changes to improve chemical safety should be planned. Copies of this report have been provided to the facility's corporate management so that preliminary determinations contained herein can be agreed upon and finalized. The audit team consisted of Howard H. Wines, III, Hazardous Materials Specialist (BFD- OES), and Robert Hofferd, Maintenance Supervisor for Crystal Geyser. 2.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS/CONCLUSIONS Based on a limited review 0f the chemical process safety management practices, related specifically to the handling of CalARP regulated substances, the audit team has reached the following conclusions: · Crystal Geyser utilizes the Incident Command System and Integrated Contingency Plan (One Plan) for organizing and assigning hazardous materials compliance, incident response and accidental release prevention planning functions. · Crystal Geyser 'has implemented a mechanical integrity program for the replacement of pressure relief valves (PRVs) on an every five (5) year basis, pursuant to voluntary ammonia refrigeration industry recommendations. · All PRVs are plumbed into an emergency water sparge tank to prevent any atmospheric release of anhydrous ammonia through accidental over pressurization of the ammonia system. Additionally, rupture disk indicator dials are in place on the Carbo Cooler PRVs to indicate that a release had occurred from that particular component of the system. · There's been increased training and quality control over the "Cleaning-in-Place" (CIP) of the beverage production containers which utilize ammonia, such as the Carbo Coolers. CIP involves sanitizing the equipment with hot water and cleansers, during which time any ammonia inadvertently left within the system is susceptible to accidental release through over pressurization. As a result of the increased training and oversight of the CIP process, Crystal Geyser has not had a PRV activate in the past year. · There are five ammonia leak sensors installed on and around the ammonia system components. The ammonia alarm is located inside the Quality Control laboratory and also at the ammonia equipment room. Present consideration is being given to installing another alarm inside the processing room as well. This would be consistent with the current fire code requirement (which wasn't in effect at the time of installation) to have alarms at or near the areas where the ammonia leak detectors are actually located. · CG Bakersfield continually strives to conduct their CalARP management to the more stringent Program 3 level, although only regulated under Program 2 requirements. 6 3.0 BACKGROUND 3.1 General Facility and Audit Information Crystal Geyser Water Company is registered as an active California corporation, number C0823855, filed with the California Secretary of State on August 15, 1977. Crystal Geyser Water Company operates at the following address: Crystal Geyser Water Company 501 Washington Street P.O. Box 304 Calistoga, CA 94515 Agent for Service: Peter Gordon The Bakersfield bottling plant is located at: 1233 East California Ay. Bakersfield, CA 93307. A product warehouse is also located in Bakersfield at 2351 East Brundage Av. Bakersfield, CA 93307. The Bakersfield bottling plant located at 1233 East California Av. is the subject of this CaIARP Audit. 3.2 Purpose of the Audit and Facility Selection Process The purpose of the audit was to examine the facility' s chemical process safety management practices associated specifically with anhydrous ammonia (CAS# 7664-41- 7), the regulated substance component of the Carbo Cooler and glycol chiller process in the beverage production at Crystal Geyser. The facility was selected for an audit based on verifying completion of the facility's own triennial self-audit requirement, pursuant to Title 19 California Code of Regulations (T19 CCR), Section 2755.6, as well as maintaining the same level of consistency for performance of regulatory agency oversight audits required of BFD-OES under Section 2775.2. 3.3 Audit Methodology The audit centered on the process areas related to the use of anhydrous ammonia in the beverage production at Crystal Geyser Water Company, Bakersfield bottling plant. The audit addressed ammonia hazards, chemical accident prevention (which may include chemicals other than regulated substances under CalARP), process operation and maintenance (including contractor activities, Program 2 requirements notwithstanding), hazard evaluation and modeling, release prevention systems, compliance audits, training, accidental release incident investigation, facility emergency preparedness and planning, and community and facility emergency response planning activities. 4.0 FACILITY BACKGROUND INFORMATION Crystal Geyser (herein referred to as CG Bakersfield) is located in a commercial area of southeast Bakersfield locally referred to as the Lakeview area. CG Bakersfield is located on the south side of East California Avenue, at the southwest corner of East California and Lakeview avenues. The CG Bakersfield site occupies parcel # 018-031-08 and is owned by Crystal Geyser Water Company, Inc.. The 2.05 acre site is bordered on the west by Ideal Pharmacy Services, on the east by Lakeview Av., on the north by East California Ay. and on the south by a recently renovated low income housing 7 development. The nearest residential property is adjacent to the south in the housing project. The site is completely paved with a truck loading dock and equipment storage yard at the east end of the property. The paved areas are generally graded to the south and east, storm water flows to the east. An industrial waste water treatment tank for neutralization of cleaning solution rinse water is also located underground at the southwest comer of the property. Because the facility is in a generally residential area, there are industrial discharge limitations on the amounts of waste water which can be disposed of at any given time. Typically, the facility disposes of about 30,000 gallons of waste water per day. The facility can be accessed from either of the main gates off East California Ay. or from the alley access on the south side of the property. The original facility building is approximately 60-80 years old (not including recent additions) and employs 35 persons. BFD-OES, Building Department, and City Directory records indicate that the original structure had been a grocery store and the parking area at the east end of the property used to be a gasoline service station. In 1982 the property was used as the American Legion Post. In 1986, the Joseph Victori Wine Company Company began their bottling operation at the site and added a warehouse structure on the east side of the existing former market building. Also in 1986, five abandoned underground storage tanks were removed from the northeast comer of the site. These tanks were associated with the former service station which had previously occupied that comer of the property. In 1989, CG Bakersfield filed a Hazardous Materials Business Plan with BFD-OES, listing anhydrous ammonia in a quantity of 9,000 cubic feet (equivalent to about 45 pounds). An accidental release of anhydrous ammonia occurred that same year due to a power outage which caused an ammonia system shut down. Compressors were restarted, but the water circulation and fans in the condensers remained off and the system over pressurized. In 1990, BFD-OES directed CG Bakersfield to prepare a Risk Management and Prevention Plan (RMPP). The RMPP was completed in 1991, and an ammonia diffusion system was additionally connected to the waste water treatment tank to absorb and dilute an ammonia system dump in the event of an emergency. In 1992, CG Bakersfield underwent an expansion and addition of a new 9,816 square foot water bottling plant building, west of the existing former market building. A new ammonia refrigeration system was also installed at that time under the provisions of the 1989 Uniform Fire Code. The new ammonia system included a stainless steel water sparge tank capable of absorbing the entire increased ammonia charge of 4,500 pounds at a rate of at least one gallon of water for every pound of ammonia. In 1996, another over pressurization of the ammonia system occurred, again caused by a power outage and failure of one of the components to re-start. Approximately 2,000 pounds of ammonia was released through the Carbo-Cooler PRV and was directed through piping and absorbed into the water sparge tank. There was no atmospheric release of ammonia. Additional indicator lights were installed on the system control panel following this incident to advise the operator of the status of the compressors. The ammonia sparge tank worked as intended and averted what would have otherwise been a catastrophic release of anhydrous ammonia into the surrounding community. 5.0 CHEMICAL HAZARDS The primary chemical hazard is 4500 pounds of anhydrous ammonia contained in the refrigeration system used to cool the beverages for the carbonation process. Cryogenic carbon dioxide is stored outside the process area in a fixed tank. In addition, there is a 1000 gallon propane tank in the receiving area parking lot used for refueling fork lifts. Several hundred gallons each of bulk tank hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide are contained in the waste water pre-treatment area. Corrosive cleaning or maintenance chemicals and food grade raw materials are also present throughout the facility in 55 gallon drums .or 50 pound bags. Lubricating and waste oils are also on site in 55 gallon drums. Water treatment (scale inhibitor) chemicals are located in the boiler room as well. 6.0 PROCESS INFORMATION FOR ANHYDROUS AMMONIA 6.1 Storage and Handling Storage Systems Anhydrous ammonia is stored in a closed-loop refrigeration system. There are some minor losses of ammonia during oil draining and air purging activities. Additionally, any accidental release of ammonia through Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) activation will deplete the ammonia charge in the system. Occasionally, ammonia has to be recharged or added to the system to maintain operating levels. ShioDin~, and Receiving, The system has only required a single two hundred gallon addition of ammonia in the past five years, representing about a 4,8% loss of ammonia charge per year. That's consistent, (albeit a little on the high end), with the industry average of 3% to 5% of ammonia system incidental operating loss rate per year, according to the International Institute for Ammonia Refrigeration (IIAR). Material Transfer An ammonia supplier, Hill Brothers, "bob-tail" tank vehicle accesses the engine room part of the facility through the alley on the south side of the CG Bakersfield property. Ammonia is recharged into the system through the transfer hose reel connected to the bob-tail truck. The driver connects his hose to the receiver oil drain trap. Unless there's a dedicated fill line, oil drains are about the only external access points into an ammonia system. Written procedures are in place at CG Bakersfield for the ammonia recharge process, but erroneously reference a "receiver fill line" instead of the oil drain trap. 6.2 Process Description Overview of Processing Steps This system uses ammonia to cool product at the Carbo cooler and to cool glycol at the glycol chiller. The glycol is pumped throughout the plant where it is used to cool tanks and heat exchangers used in the production process. The chiller consists of a large outer shell that surrounds several hundred small tubes. Ammonia floods the outer shell until it is about 75% full. Glycol flows through the smaller tubes. When the compressors are in operation, they lower the pressure inside the 9 chiller. This causes the ammonia to boil, which in turn, cools the small tubes and cools the glycol flowing through the small tubes. The temperature is controlled by controlling the pressure of the ammonia. As the ammonia boils away, the operating float Switch activates the ammonia solenoid valve and fills the chiller back uP. This part of the system controls the ammonia level only. The temperature is controlled by two (2) evaporative pressure regulators installed in the ammonia vapor suction line. The glycol chiller is designed to provide 425 tons of capacity. (A "ton" of refrigeration capacity is equal to 288,000 British Thermal Units (Btu's) or the rate at which 2000 pounds of water can be frozen into ice in a 24 hour period). The chiller is designed to operate at 27°F suction temperature and supply 33°F glycol to the plant. The chiller must operate through a wide range of loads. The two evaporative pressure regulators are designed to work in series, depending on the load. The glycol pumps will also cycle on and off as the load changes. Should the load get too low, there are two bypass pressure regulators in the glycol supply line that will bypass glycol back to the glycol tank. Ammonia Release Detection Ammonia gas leaks are detected by five (5) Manning Systems (Model 4485) Ammonia Gas Cell / Transmitters; two in the machine room located above the equipment, one near the ceiling over the Carbo cooler, and one each in the machine room and Carbo cooler ammonia vent lines connected to the sparge tank. These sensor units consist of an electrochemical sensor and an electronic transmitter and have a range of 0-I00 ppm ammonia. The ammonia alarm is located inside the Quality Control laboratory and also at the ammonia equipment room. Present consideration is being given to installing another alarm inside the processing room as well. 6.3 Process Hazards A walk-through of the facility and a failure mode and effect analysis were performed as part of the CalARP program in order to determine potential weaknesses in the facility systems. The most likely event causing a release was predicted to be a pipe or valve rupture, caused by a catastrophic external event such as a major earthquake. 7.0 CHEMICAL ACCIDENT PREVENTION 7.1 Management Activities CG Bakersfield utilizes the One Plan approach to their CalARP RMP organization. In addition, CG Bakersfield employs the Incident Command System for implementation of their incident action planning and response activities. The Plant Manager, Richard Weklych, is responsible for the CG Bakersfield facility. Issues must go through the Plant Manager for final approval before implementation. At the CG Bakersfield location, the Safety Coordinator, Robert Hofferd, is the qualified individual under CaIARP and is also the Environmental Coordinator. This position is responsible for all safety training of employees and implementation of the Risk Management Program. The list of notification and emergency contact personnel and other incident command role and responsibilities are well maintained and kept current, both on site and as provided to the BFD-OES. 10 7.2 Standard Operating Procedures Operating procedures are listed in the RMP One Plan document. These procedures are listed as "Daily Operating Duties" and "Addition of Oil to the Compressors." These procedures do not appear to meet the regulatory requirements of 2755.3 (b), CCR. Upon further inquiry, the Audit Team located additional Operating Procedures which meet the regulatory requirements. These procedures were in place at the CG Bakersfield facility, but were not referenced nor included in the RMP documentation. 7.3 Prog, ess Operation and Maintenance During the interview portion of the audit, CG Bakersfield announced that new operating procedures and training have been developed for "Cleaning-In-Place" (CIP) of the equipment where ammonia is used. CIP typically involves sanitizing the beverage equipment with industrial cleansers and very hot water. These new procedures are in place at CG Bakersfield, as verified through record examination during the audit. 7.4 Equipment Maintenance and Test Schedules A "Preventative Maintenance Checklist" is listed on pages 63-65 of the WZI, Inc. Facility Compliance Plan. The audit team reviewed the tasks and their frequency as listed, and determined that several corrections were necessary. Many of the daily maintenance tasks were not clearly identified as such and many more tasks occur more frequently than was otherwise indicated. Consequently, this section of the RMP is to undergo appropriate revision within the Preliminary Determination response period. An ammonia service contractor is responsible for draining ammonia compressor oil and replacement of PRV's when due for service. The service contractor has developed their own SOP's for performing that work. CG Bakersfield verifies that the ammonia service contractor employees are trained to perform according to their SOPs prior to work being performed. 7.5 Hazard Evaluation and Modeling Several hazard analyses and have been performed at CG Bakersfield, since 1990, involving the predicted area of vulnerability as a result of a worst, or worst creditable case, of an ammonia release. In each case, the results have been reasonably consistent between the previous RMPP and current CalARP RMP, regardless of the specific modeling or toxic endpoints used. The actual estimated endpoint distance will not be recapitulated here. The methodologies used in every case have been validated through documentation of the evaluation results submitted to the BFD-OES. 7.6 ' Training CG Bakersfield personnel invOlved in operating the ammonia system are either Refrigerating Engineers and Technicians Association (RETA) certified or else are currently undergoing RETA Consortia Training to obtain certification. This RETA training has been beneficial in that CG Bakersfield has acquired several Process Safety Management and ammonia system operational forms and procedures from other RETA member ammonia refrigeration facilities; and through this shared knowledge, CG Bakersfield is currently operating at a performance level similar to many of the much larger ammonia facilities around town. 11 Training records are maintained at the facility and supports that the required training is being accomplished. A master matrix listing of training completed for each employee is currently underway, but was not complete at the time of the audit. 7.7 Compliance Audits CG Bakersfield has performed two compliance self-audits during the past three year period. These audits are conducted using a RMP Audit Checklist, a copy of which is contained in the CG Bakersfield Facility Compliance Plan. The checklists are completed by at least one person knowledgeable in the process and reviewed by CG management staff. Documented responses to each of the items noted as deficiencies on the audit checklists still needs to be accomplished. 8.0 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE/INCIDENT INVESTIGATION PROCEDURES 8.1 DESCRIPTION OF ACCIDENT On April 2, 2002, an industrial refrigeration service contractor was preparing to change the pressure relief valves (PRVs) on the ammonia condenser units. The ammonia system was shut down and the piping to the condensers was isolated. However, rather than pumping down the residual ammonia in the condenser piping, the contract service technician decided to "blow down" the residual ammonia pressure by bleeding the condenser vapors through a hose into a 55 gallon drum of water that was placed on the roof above the engine room. A fresh water hose was placed inside one bung of the drum and allowed to fill and overflow the drum with water, the ammonia bleeder hose was inserted through the opposing bung and submerged in to the water. During the condenser bleeding process, the water which absorbed the ammonia overflowed out of the drum, ran out onto the roof, down the rain spout, and spilled out across the sidewalk and down the gutter into a storm drain. Coincidentally, a City of Bakersfield Industrial Waste Inspector was arriving at CG Bakersfield to inspect the waste water pre-treatment facility and parked his vehicle at the curb where this ammonia water run-off was flowing down the gutter. Noticing the pungent ammonia odors, he immediately notified the BFD-OES that a possible chemical release was occurring at CG Bakersfield. BFD-OES responded by ordering the ammonia service contractor to stop discharging the ammonia and water solution to the .storm drain. The ammonia service contractor then made arrangements to connect the condenser bleed line to the suction side of the ammonia system and pumped down the condenser back into the system, a process that takes considerably longer to accomplish, but does not release ammonia vapor deliberately into the environment. 8.2 ACCIDENT PREVENTION MEASURES CG Bakersfield has had a follow-up meeting with their ammonia service contractor to ensure that general management of change, hazard analysis and pre-startup review of any work to be performed is done with CG Bakersfield employee participation. This practice is to include even "in kind" replacement work if any deviation from normal operation of the ammonia system is involved. In essence, CG Bakersfield is striving to meet CalARP Program 3 (Process Safety Management) requirements while only being regulated at the Program 2 level. This is a commendable endeavor from an accidental release prevention standpoint, and is emblematic of CG Bakersfield's continuous improvement in their RMP program. 12 8.3 ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION PLAN The Facility Compliance Plan, prepared by WZI, Inc. provides "Incident Investigation" procedures on page 66. These procedures refer to a "release incident report" that was to have been included in the document. There was no incident release report form found in the document. However, previous incidents have been well documented by CG Bakersfield in a letter type of format. The recommendations arising from such incident investigations have been documented as completed in each instance. The only item I missing from the Incident Investigation documentation is the particular "release incident report" form referenced by WZI,Inc. 9.0 FACILITY EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND PLANNING ACTIVITIES Records on file with the BFD-OES show that CG Bakersfield has had a Hazardous Materials Business Plan and Inventory in effect since 1989. The Facility Compliance Plan is modeled after the EPA's One Plan approach to emergency response and preparedness programs. CG Bakersfield utilizes the Incident Command System in their response planning and organization approaches. The facility conducts annual evacuation drills utilizing their planning documentation under the Incident Command System. The Bakersfield Fire Department also conducts annual combined inspections and pre-fire planning tours at CG Bakersfield together with CalARP compliance evaluations. 10.0 COMMUNITY AND FACILITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANNING ACTIVITIES CG Bakersfield was not required to hold a public meeting to discuss off-site consequence data because this is a State-only regulated CalARP facility, not subject to federal R/VIP law under the Chemical Safety Information, Site Security and Fuels Regulatory Relief Act (P.L. 106-40). 11.0 PUBLIC ALERT AND NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES CG Bakersfield has been notified of the acceptance of the RMP by the BFD-OES and notice of a 45 day public comment period was published in the Bakersfield Californian, a newspaper of general circulation, on December 12, 1999. No public comments were received by the BFD-OESduring the 45 day review period regarding CG Bakersfield's RMP. 12.0 CONCLUSIONS Based on a review of the chemical process safety management practices related specifically to the handling of anhydrous ammonia, the audit team has reached the following conclusions: · Crystal Geyser utilizes the Incident Command System and Integrated Contingency Plan (One Plan) for organizing and assigning hazardous materials compliance, incident response and accidental release prevention planning functions. · Crystal Geyser has implemented a mechanical integrity program for the replacement of pressure relief valves (PRVs) on an every five (5) year basis, pursuant to voluntary ammonia refrigeration industry recommendations. 13 All PRVs are plumbed into an emergency water sparge tank to prevent any atmospheric release of anhydrous ammonia through accidental over pressurization of the ammonia system. Additionally, rupture disk indicator dials are in place on the Carbo Cooler PRVs to indicate that a release had occurred from that particular component of the system. · There's been increased training and quality cqntrol over the "Cleaning-in-Place" (CIP) of the beverage production containers which utilize ammonia, such as the Carbo Coolers. CIP involves sanitizing the equipment with hot water and cleansers, during which time any ammonia, inadvertently left within the system is susceptible to accidental release through over pressurization. As a result of the increased training and oversight of the CIP process, Crystal Geyser has not had a PRV activate in the past year. · There are five ammonia leak sensors installed on and around the ammonia system components. The ammonia alarm is located inside the Quality Control laboratory and also at the ammonia equipment room. Present consideration is being given to installing another alarm inside the processing room as well. This would be consistent with the current fire code requirement to have alarms at or near the areas where the ammonia leak detectors are actually located. · CG Bakersfield continually strives to conduct their CalARP management to the more stringent Program 3 level, although only regulated under Program 2 requirements. 13.0 PRELIMINARY DETERMINATIONS Based on the audit team's observations and conclusions, audit team recommendations to the management of CG Bakersfield include the following: 1. Correct why blueprints for the ammonia system, drawn by Facilities Design, Inc. do not show a master accumulator above the glycol chiller, whereas line drawings prepared by Refrigeration Technology, Inc as well as block diagrams prepared by WZI, Inc. indicate that there is a master accumulator located above the glycol chiller. The basis for this revision is section 2755. l(c) of Title 19 CCR which requires safety information to be updated if a major change occurs that makes the information inaccurate. 2. Correct why Operating Procedures listed on p.46 of the "Facility Compliance Plan Including Required Risk Management Plan Elements," prepared by WZI, Inc. and dated May 1999, do not appear to conform to the requirements specifying the content of such procedures pursuant to section 2755.3 of Title 19 CCR. Operating procedures which meet the above regulatory requirements have been developed and are available on site, however they were not referenced or included within the WZI, Inc document on page 46 under the subheading "Daily Operating Procedures." 3. Correct why alarm devices are not present in the bottle filling area where ammonia vapor detectors are also located. The basis for this revision is section 6313 of the California Fire Code (1997 ed.) which requires that audible and visual alarm devices be present in the same areas where ammonia vapor detectors are located. The rationale is that the alarm should also sound in the area that would be most directly affected by the release, in addition to the area where the alarm is most likely to be monitored. 14 4. Please include the recently revised "Cleaning-In-Place" procedures within the Risk Management Program documentation for Operating Procedures. The basis for this revision is compliance with section 2755.3(b)(7) of Title 19 CCR which requires that operating procedures involving the covered process address consequences of deviations (e.g. high temperature of sanitizing solutions) and steps required to avoid deviations. 5. Please correct the Operating Procedures for ammonia off-loading procedures to indicate exactly where the ammonia is to be introduced into the system. Current procedures erroneously reference a "receiver fill line" which is not present on the system. 6. Conduct a thorough revision of the Preventative Maintenance Checklist on pages 63-65 of the WZI, Inc. Facility Compliance Plan document to adjust the listed maintenance frequencies to be consistent with manufacturer's recommendations and actual on-site "best management" practices. The basis for this revision is compliance with section 2755.5 of Title 19 CCR which requires maintenance procedures to be Consistent with equipment vendor or industry standards. 7. Finish completing the training record matrix of training conducted for each employee. The basis for this revision is section 2755.4 and portions of 2755.5 of Title 19 CCR which requires that each employee be trained or tested competent in operating and maintenance procedures that pertain to their duties. This will also aid, in consultation with the employee, to determine the appropriate frequency of refresher training. 8. Please determine why the release incident report form referenced on page 66 of the Facility Compliance Plan as being "included on the following pages" is not present as indicated. A release incident report form is located following page 27 under the reference of the follow-up notice required to be provided to the Office of Emergency Services, but it is not the form required by section 2705 of Title 19 CCR. That form is located following page 40 in the Facility Compliance Plan for CG Bakersfield. 9. CG Bakersfield shall promptly determine and document a response to each of the findings of their own in-house compliance audits and document that the deficiencies noted therein have been corrected. The basis for this revision is compliance with section 2755.6(d) of Title 19 CCR, requiring the same. 14.0 REFERENCES Facility Compliance Plan - Including Required Risk Management Plan Elements, prepared by WZI, Inc.

There are 35 employees at this facility, five of which are trained in the use of Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). PRE-EMERGENCY PLANNING An RMPP was requested by this off]ce fi.om the facility on March 26, 1990. The RMPP was originally submitted on October 2, 1990. Citing the requirements of Article 63 of the Uniform Fire Code, the Bakersfield Fire Department, as Administering Agency for the RMPP program, required Crystal Geyser to install an ammonia diffuser system as part of the RMPP implementation steps. A diffusion system was installed in 1991 which would dilute and dump ammonia to the sanitary sewer in the event of an accidental release. In 1992, as part of Crystal Geyser's entire plant modification, a modified RMPP was required by this office. During this plant modification, a new ammonia dlfrusion system consisting ora stationary sparge tank was installed in order to absorb any released ammonia into the water stored in the stainless steel sparge tank for t_h~t_ purpose. INCIDENT PHA~E On Wednesday, August 14, 1996, between the hours of 6 to 10 p.m., a q,_n_llty control operator began to sanitize the process equipment. However, the employee was unaware that the ammonia compressors were off due to a recent power failure. There was no other equipment that. did not start up after the power failure, therefore, the employee was tmaware of the nmmonln compressors being off. The sanitation process raised the temperature in the system which caused the ammonia pressure relief valves to open. Fortunately, and as a result of the RMPP process and compliance with Article 63 ofthe Uniform Fire Code, the nmmonia pressure relief valves are piped directly into the sparge tank. Approximately 2000 pounds ofnrnmonia was absorbed by 8000 gallons of water in the sparge tank. Had the ammonia been-released into the atmosphere, the zone of ammonia concentration ............ ~~l~'ili~i'~nm~ Dangerous to Life or Health 0DLH) would have extended 3/10th of a mile beyond the plant and affected several nearby residential housing complexes (see attached offsite consequence maps). Since the release ocouted between the hours of 6 to 10 p.m., the .:~=~ housing tracts would have been at their maximum occupancy levels. Without the RMPP proces,% ' '~ this would have been a severe and extremely bs~,srdous material incident. ,~:~. POST INCIDENT PHASE, The amount of ammonia effectively absorbed by the sparge tank produced about a 3% to 4% solution of ammonium hydroxide. Crystal Geyser management consulted with Bakersfield's Fire Department and Wastewater Treatment Division on proper disposal of the absorbed ammonia solution. Wastewater officials recommended that C~3~tal Geyser disoharge the ammonia solution ~om the sparge tank into the sanitary sewer while diluting $0% with fresh water. Crystal Geyser will subsequently amend their RMPP to include the installation of indicator lights to warn the operators of ammonia compressor failure. This offi~ is pleased t° have implemented an effective program designed to help make California and our local communities a safer place in which to work and live. Sincerely,. How~d H.

Box 304, 501 Washington Street, Calistoga, CA 94515-0304 (707) 942-0500 FAX (707) 942-0647 Off-Site Receptors for Alternate Release Scenario There are no off-site environmental receptors for the alternate release scenario. 03320012.001 23 Alternate Release Scenario An alternative release scenario analysis is also required. This alternative release scenario is determined by either past facility or industry experience to be a more likely credible scenario. The hazard and operability study determined the alternate release scenario to be the release of the liquid contents of the outdoor ammonia receiver into outside air. The potential release scenario judged to be dangerous to offsite receptors is a release of ammonia during an earthquake. Lines from and to the outdoor ammonia receiver contain liquid ammonia. A break in this liquid ammonia line could release all of the ammonia in the receiver to outside air. In this potential worst case scenario, the rapid release of liquid ammonia could form an air/ammonia dispersion that would act as a cloud of dense gas. This scenario was used in Crystal Geyser's 1993 Risk Management and Prevention Program as a release of the contents of the ammonia tank with a 391 pound capacity. The outdoor ammonia receiver would release the ammonia directly to outside air, immediately affecting the surrounding area. This scenario satisfies the requirements for the alternative release scenario analysis under Title 19 Section 2750.4. The release rate for alternative scenarios is determined by the following formula: QR = HA x (203)(P,)~ where: QR = Release rate (pounds per minute) HA = Hole area (square inches) P. = Gauge pressure (psig) Using the above formula the release rate is: (3.14 square inches)(203)(100)~ = 6374 pounds per minute 03320012.001 58 The EPA-released guidance document recommends "average" weather conditions to be a wind speed of 3 meters per second and stability class D, and an ambient temperature of 25 degrees celsius. Based on the EPA table, the distance to toxic endpoint would be 0.5 miles. The 391 pounds of ammonia contained in the outdoor ammonia tank limits the toxic endpoint to 0.2 miles. To estimate the population present within the endpoint circle, census data for six census tracts were obtained from the Kern Council of Governments. The census data is based on 1990 census data and has been updated to 1998 using a shared allocation method. The aerial extent of each tract was determined and the population density was calculated. The area of each census tract within the circle defined by the toxic endpoint of the alternate release scenario was measured and the residential population within that area was estimated using the population density within each census tract. The calculations used to determine the residential population are presented on the following pages. 03320012.001 59 Alternate Release Scenario An alternative release scenario is also required. This alternative release scenario is determined by either past facility or industry experience to be a more likely credible release scenario. The hazard and operability study determined the alternate release scenario to be the release of the liquid contents of the outdoor ammonia receiver into outside air. The potential release scenario judged to be dangerous to offsite receptors is a release of ammonia during an earthquake., Lines from and to the outdoor ammonia receiver contain liquid ammonia. A break in this liquid ammonia line could release all of the ammonia in the receiver to outside air. In this potential worst case scenario, the rapid release of liquid ammonia could form an air/ammonia dispersion that would act as a cloud of dense gas. The release rate for the alternative release scenario can be found by using the following equation from USEPA guidance: QR = HA x (203)(Po)" where QR = Release Rate (lbs per minute) HA = Hole Area (square inches) Pg = Gauge Pressure (psig) Using the release rate and the table from the Risk Management Program Guidance for Ammonia Refrigeration, the distance to the toxic endpoint would be 0.5 miles. The amount of ammonia contained in the outside receiver is 391 pounds, limiting the toxic endpoint to 0.2 miles. A more detailed explanation of the alternate release scenario is given in Section 111.3.d, Planning, and a map of the vulnerable area is provided in Section II1.1, Maps and Drawings. 03320012,001 22 c. Preliminary Assessment The ammonia system is designed to operate when cooling is needed. Gaseous ammonia enters the compressors and is compressed to a higher pressure and temperature. After exiting the compressors, the hot gas enters the evaporative condensers. Water running through the condensers cool the hot gas into a liquid. The liquid ammonia flows to and is contained in th ~.e~ou~c~ A level control, controlled by a solenoid valve, allows ammonia to flow from the outdoor receiver into the indoor receiver. From the indoor receiver, liquid ammonia flows through the lines to the cooling equipment, the carbo coolers. In this flooded system, liquid ammonia flows through exchanger plates while the material to be cooled, flowing counter currently, is cooled by the phase change of the boiling ammonia. From the carbo coolers, vapor and liquid ammonia travels back to the indoor receiver from which vapors are pulled by the compressors. Liquids are recycled from the receiver back to the coolers while vapors travel through insulated lines to be compressed to high pressure and then cooled into a liquid, completing the cycle. A walk-through of the facility and a failure mode and effect analysis were performed to determine potential weaknesses in the facility systems. The most likely event causing a release would be a pipe or valve rupture. The immediate area surrounding the Crystal Geyser plant is both residential and industrial and must be considered in hazard analyses, operating and response procedures. Additional hazard analysis information is included in Section 111.3.d. 03320012.001 19 Emergency Stop Switch There are two emergency stop switches. One is located in the ammonia dump panel and one is on the wall outside the machine room. The switches are wired in series. If there is an accident, fire, earthquake, or ammonia spill the refrigeration system can be turned off from either remote location. This will sound an alarm at the main computer panel. King Solenoid The system has two King solenoid valves located on the main ammonia line as it leaves the receiver to supply the system. One valve is manual, the other is electric. The electric valve must be energized to open. The valve will close during a power failure, if the emergency stop switch is turned off, or if the King solenoid valve switch is turned off at the control panel. Master High Level Switch The master high level switch is located on the master accumulator. If liquid ammonia floods back to the master accumulator, the master high level switch will shut down the complete refrigeration system. In order to restart the system, an operator must be present to reset the alarm system and place the refrigeration system back in operation. Chiller High Level Switch This switch is located on the glycol chiller and it will give an alarm signal indicating that the ammonia level is too high. This will not, however, shut the system down. It will let the operator know that an alarm condition is present. Since there is not an accumulator, it is not necessary to shut the system down at this time. 03320012.001 14 B A K E R $ 1~ I E L D I~IRE DEPARTMENT FAX Transmittal COMPANY: ~'~-'~'r~ c._ ~-~-'~c-'~-- FAX No: FROM: ~..~,~.~, ~z~ (.~,,J, ~ Office of Environmental ServiceS FAX No. (805) 326-0576 · Bus No. (805) 326-3979 1715 Chester Ave. · Bakersfield, CA 93301 10/2S/1999 14:32 00§32102S1 ROBERT PAGE 0i CR¥~TA£ OEY~ER WATER COMPI~NY ' 2351 E.

February 3, 1999 Mr. Robert Hofferd Shipping Supervisor Crystal Geyser Water Company 1233 East California Avenue Bakersfield, California 93307 Re: Proposal to Prepare Risk Management Plan Dear Mr. Hofferd: WZI is pleased to present ',[his proposal to assist Crystal Geyser in the preparation of the Risk Management Plan (RMP) for your facility located in Bakersfield, California. The Ca]if ~ornia Accidental Release Prevention (CalARP) Program merged the existing state Risk Management and Prevention Plan (RMPP) and 'the new federal RMP program, which was promulgated pursuant to Section 112(r) of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. The Californi~ Office of Emergency Services (OES) oversees the CalARP regulations. The U.S. Envi~-onmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has delegated implementation authority for the federal program ':!o OES. At the local leve;0 the program is implemented by the Certified Unified Permittin, g Agency (CUPA). Because ih.e CalARP program is a combination of the federal and state requirements, the hs,,., of regulated toxic and flammable substances. While many of program includes two ' the chemicals are present on both lists, the state applicability thresholds are generally lower. Al~o, the federal lisf[ includes flammable materials which are generally not regulated under the state program. According to the December 1993 RMPP Manual, Crystal Geyser exceeds the state threshold quantity for ammonia. Facilities using the state and federal regulated substances above the threshold quantities are required to submit a RMP for chemicals over the federal thresholds by June 21, 1999, and by the date specified by the CUPA for chemicals handled in qu~.ntities above the California thresholds. Due to notification by the ~ocal CUPA, Crystal Geyser will be required to submit a RMP by June 21, 1999. ~3320010.iPRO 4700 [Srr~c~c)~u: H~<.;~wA¥, SL,~,'~ 120 FEB OD The RMP must be developed from a comprehensive assessment of the processes, operations, and procedures at the facility, and includes four main elements: · A Management System that specifies qualified and responsible persons; · A Hazard Assessment that analyzes and documents potential environmental and population receptors due to an accidental release; · A Pr~;vention Program that compiles operating procedures, safety information, and specific hazard information into a program that minimizes the threat of an accidental release; and · An Emergency Response Program that establishes procedures to deal with the results of an :accidental release. Although much of the ir,.,formation in the existing RMPP documents will be used in the RMP, adi:litional informal;ion will be needed to complete the RMP. RMP Eiernel'~t _Existir~.o,.~MPP Inl'ormatior~ Management System: The e~islJng RMPP documents do not contain a management system. Hazard A'.~sessment: The assessments included in the existing RMPP does not satisf~ the requirements o1' the RI~/IP program. The assessments previously prepared can be used in the RMP for the alternate release scenarios, however, the tozic endpoints should De revised to reflect upcoming regulatory changes. This will eliminate the need to revise the assessments next year. Affected populations aqd environmental receptors will need Io be identified in the RMP. Prevention Program: The existing RMPP includes a Hazard Analysis that was last audiled and revised in 1993. RMPP regulations require review of the hazards analysis every 3-5 years. Therefore, the hazards analysis should be reevaluated at this time. incidence i~lvestigation procedures should be modilied to include released q[lan§ties and whether emergency response agencies responded. Hot work permitting procedures will need to be developed. The following existing procedures appear to be complete: , operations, training, mechanical integrity testing, management of change and compliance auditing. Emergency Response: Emergency respo~e program informalion is available but will need to be compiled. 03320010.PRO 2 "~'" ~ ........F~F~"'09 ' 99 1;:': 4:3PM CRYSTFIL GEYSER gIFITER P. 4/8 SCOPE OF WORK WZI proposes to assist C~stal Geyser in the development of the RMP by performing the following ,tasks: Task I Coordinate and meet with the CUPA and identify the specific requiremer, ts of the county; Task 2 Assist Crystal Geyser personnel in the development of a management system for implementation of the RMP; Task 3 Complete e hazard assessment for ammonia including: (1) analysis and docc~ment~tion of the worst case ~'elease scenario; (2) analysis and documentation of the alternative release scenarios; and (3) determination of th~ po,~.entia~ly affected population and environmental receptors; Task 4 (1) Reevaluate existing hazards analysis and incidence investigating procedure~; and (2) completion analysis and documentation' of hot work procedure~; Task 5 Compile th~,~ existing written procedures into the RMP; Task6 Compile existing emergency response program documentation into the RMP; ~,nd Task 7 Prepare the document for submittal, including peer review for quality assurance. A CUPA~approved dispersion model will be used for the ammonia hazard assessment (Task 3).' Candidate moclels are: 1. Automated Resource for Chemical Hazard incident Evaluation (ARCHIE): This USEPA/FEMA/USDOT program estimates downwind dispersion of a chemical release to de~ermine the nature and magnitude of chemical release threats. It estimates release' discharge rates under various circumstances, thermal radiation from explosions andI fir[es, and downwind chemical concentrations and hazard zones, This program is widely-accepted by ernargency planning officials because it is conservative in nature. 2.

DEGADI_..~S: This USEPA model predicts contaminant movement for heavier than air gases for instantaneous and continuous ground level releases. Catastrophic releases of anhydrous ammonia generally form two-phase, heavier-than-air clouds. All of these models are appropriate for modeling dense gas releases. !,, 03320010.PRO 3 FEB 09 '99 12:43PM CRYSTAL GEYSER WATER P.5/8 .cost ESTIMATE Based or~ our review of the existing documentation and anticipated agency response, WZl anticipates the cost to assist Crystal Geyser in developing the RMP will be $9,800.

A power failure caused the system to shut down. When power was returned, the initial startup blew three-thirty amp fuses in the condenser panel, shutting down both condensers. The operator did not know that the condensers were inoperative and turned on the ammonia compressors. Pressure itl the system quickly rose, forcing ammonia through the high pressure relief'valve. 2.1,1 On August 14, 1996, ammonia loss due to power failure (brownout) - the compressors are set up tbr a 20 minute delay. Thc operator in tile Filling Room did not know of the power failure and he proceeded to heat up Carbo Cooler. The loss of ammonia was released into sparge tank through pressure relief valves on Carbo Cooler. The sal~ty system worked as it was designed for incidents such as this. 2.2 tlnderl¥ing C'auscs The release was caused by thc operator who turned on tile compressors although the condensers were not working. 2.3 Measm'es Tahen to Prevent Recto'fence The operalor is now required to check the condensers every time he turns on tile compressors. The operator has received extensive training to ensure that this type of release does not recur. Only trained personnel are allowed to operate the ammonia system. In 1993, a sparge system with a diffusion tank was installed to reduce the severity o1' an ammonia release in any future emergency reli&occurrences. 2.3.1 Installed on the Carbo Cooler panel in the filler room are Green Run Lights to assure operator that compressors are running and that all operators have been instructed. 2.4 Accident Investigation Procedures After an accident has occurred, an ammonia incident report (exhibit) shall be filled out. A post accident review shall be held in which potential causes of tile accident are discussed. When the cause of the accident has be6n determined, a method shall be Pagc'iO BAKERSFIELD FIRE DEPARTMENT October 8, 1996 Santiago Martinu~z, Plant Manager FIRE CHIEF Crystal G~yseI' Wat~ Co.

Box 9217 Bakersfield, CA 93389 Dear Mr. Fuller: Per our discussion, the following comments apply to the RMPP for the new refrigeration system at Crystal Geyser. 1) The nature of the controls that have been outlined to mitigate the probability of a release, rely heavily on employee action and intervention. OSHA regulations would therefore require emergency response technician level of training. 'Your RMPP should focus on the implementation and documentation of the training program. 2) The evacuation, emergency action and respiratory protection plans must meet OSHA standards. 3) Due to the plants location in a densely populated neighborhood, Crystal Geyser should sponsor a Shelter in Place community outreach program. This can be done without bringing undue attention to the plant through a third party. This office would be agreeable to assist in this effort. 4) The operating instructions for the diffusion sporge tank need to be very specific and detailed with regard to the rate at which the valves are to be opened. This safety step is necessary to avoid a sudden pressure drop in the tank and possible boiling of the liquid. 5) I believe you should further assess the desirability of an automatic shutdown and isolation system controlled by a seismic sensor. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me directly.

MAT. DIV. Dear Barbara: Enclosed is the final version of the hazard analysis for Crystal Geyser's new refrigeration system. The following is in response to your questions from your letter of July 14, 1993: 1) Permanent guard posts and rails have been strategically placed in the engine room that will restrain a forklift from contacting any of the ammonia refrigerant equipment. Crystal Geyser's forklifts, when extended to the full upward position, still have a 25 inch clearance between the highest part on the forklift and the lowest point of the high pressure receiver. 2) Permanent guard posts and rails have been installed around the emergency ammonia diffusion control box to restrain a forklift or vehicle from contacting the control box. 3) All of the vent lines to the emergency ammonia diffusion control box are connected only to the ammonia gas side of the refrigeration equipment. It does not appear possible to send liquid ammonia to the sparge tank. By code there is 1 inch line restricting the flow of ammonia gas to the sparge tank. In theory the system (sparge tank capacity and diffuser) has been designed to handle all of the ammonia gas sent to the sparge tank, with the rapid opening of an emergency control valve. The installation contractor has proposed to test the system design during start-up. (See attached letter from Glen Marks, Chief Engineer, Refrigeration Technology, Inc.). Page 1 03320011.009 4) The hazards of potential ammonia releases associated with the process of draining oil from the ammonia refrigerant system has been analyzed. The findings have been documented and supplied in Appendix V, study node number 10. 5) By definition, "noncorrosive" service or material means not to wear away gradually by chemical action (metal corroded beyond repair). Ammonia will not corrode most of the common metals, but the properties of ammonia are such that, if in the presence of water, it will corrode metals such as copper, zinc and alloys containing these elements. No materials such as these are used in the refrigerant system that will wear away by chemically reacting with ammonia. As stated in the pressure vessel data sheets (Form U-lA Manufacturer's Data Report for Pressure Vessels, Appendix III) the "Type of Service" is specified for ammonia. 6) The manually operated king valve, adjacent to the electrically operated king valve, is located approximately 10 feet above floor level on the north wall of the compressor room. Steps and a platform will be built to provide convenient access to the king valves. Please note that the king valve is designed to fail closed if the emergency stop switch is on or if the king solenoid valve switch is turned off at control pond R-1. This king valve will only open when it is energized. 7) The potential hazards associated with the operation of the computer control system, including potential failures and manual overrides has been analyzed with the findings documented and supplied in Appendix V, study node number 11. 8) The hazard analysis has been updated on page one of the text to document the codes and standards to which the new refrigeration system and associated structure was designed and constructed. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this information please do not hesitate to call me. I will await your further comments on the RMPP modifications. Sincerely, Gary M.

Bakersfield, CA 93307 FDI Project No. 92329 Dear Barbara: This letter is to confirm our telephone conversation of this date in response to your letter of July 14, 1993, to Mr. Alex Manns, Plant Manager, Crystal Geyser of Bakersfield, in reference to your inspection of July 12, 1993. The only question that remains is the subject of excess flow control UFC [80.401 (c)3.C]. In the event of line breakage or equipment rupture, the ammonia detection system is tied into the King liquid solenoid valve which will shut off the main flow of refrigerant liquid to the plant whenever any ammonia detector exceeds its setting of 200 ppm. These detectors are located as shown on Drawing ER2 (copy enclosed with detectors highlighted in yellow marker). The detectors are tied into a central ammonia detection panel specified as ANALYGAS SYSTEMS MODEL 20 which is the same system we referred to in our conversation. This manufacturer is capable of calibrating these detectors in the field to meet the requirement of 200 ppm. The CONTROL WIRING PLAN on Drawing ER2 also indicates the relative positioning of the detectors on a floor plan schematic.

The tank was built by Valley Foundry in Fresno, California. Valley Foundry is no longer in business and no records exist on the specific materials of construction or manufacturing procedure however, the tank flanges are marked "304" for 304 stainless steel. The tank shell and bottom are non-magnetic which typically defines material as stainless steel. 2. The tank is 11'-6" OD x 16'-0" high with a capacity of 12,660 gallons. 3. To verify the material thickness of the tank bottom and shell, Valley Industrial X-Ray Inspection Services, Inc., was contracted to conduct ultrasonic testing. Enclosed is a copy of their report. The report indicates there is no corrosion or material reduction to the tank bottom and shell. 4. Anhydrous ammonia is not corrosive to stainless steel. The tank is constructed of stainless steel. 5. Crystal Geyser has used this storage tank continuously since 1985 and have not experienced any problems or leaks with the tank. Based on the inspection which indicated there was no corrosion to the tank, the tank is constructed of stainless steel and the continuous operation of the tank without any problems or leaks, the tank is acceptable for use as an ammonia diffusion tank. If you have any questions, please call myself or Gary Fuller.

Some of the information in this letter was furnished by Mr. Glen Marks, Chief Engineer, Refrigeration Technology, Inc., Cotati, CA. Ammonia is classified as a Group 2 refrigerant and Section 63.108 addresses the use of ammonia. Section 63.108.3, A through E discuss the discharge system. Paragraph D requires a connection to a permanent sewer or drainage system. Appendix VI-A, "Hazardous Materials Classifications", Paragraph 2A, Flammable: Ammonia will ignite and burn although its range is too narrow for it to fit the definition of flammable gas. In Paragraph 2C, "Corrosive", ammonia is listed. In Paragraph 2E, "Toxic", ammonia is not listed. Section 80.314.2, "Exempt Amounts", Table 80.314.A, "Corrosives Exempt Amounts", indicates that liquids less than 1,000 gallons in sprinklered building are exempt from Building Code requirements for a Group H, Division 7 Occupancy. This system will have less than 1,000 gallons of liquid ammonia, therefore, system is exempt. Full service design capabilities by Professional Engineers FACILITIES DESIGN,INC. October 27, 1992 Page 2 Section 80.402.3, "Closed Systems", Paragraph C, "Ventilation", states: "If closed systems are designed to be opened as part of normal operations, ventilation shall be provided in accordance with Section 80.402 (b) 2 C". This system is not designed to be open under normal operation, therefore, Paragraph C does not apply. Section 80.402.3, "Closed Systems", Paragraph G, "Special requirements for highly toxic and toxic compressed gases", ammonia is not listed as toxic, therefore, Paragraph G does not apply. Section 80.402.3, "Closed Systems", Paragraph F "Spill control, drainage control and secondary containment", states that secondary containment shall be provided...when the capacity... exceeds 1,000 gallons. Note that if the main system has less than 1,000,gallons of ammonia, a secondary containment system should not be required. We propose the following to meet the intent of Article 80 and the requirements of your Department. 1. Utilize an existing water tank for a sparge tank. This tank is presently on the site and used for process water storage. The tank is remote from the refrigeration room. No secondary containment would be provided. 2. Arrange the four (4) floor drains in the refrigeration room to be piped separately to a sump within the room with a sump pump to discharge into the sanitary sewer during normal operation. In the event of an ammonia leak condition, the sump pump would be inoperative through a control integrated with the ammonia alarm panel. This would prevent any ammonia-contaminated water from entering the sanitary sewer system. 3. Purge the ammonia dump system and the relief vent system into the sparge tank. 4. Connect the refrigeration room ventilation system to an independent power supply separate from the power for the refrigeration system. FACILITIES DESIGN, INC. October 27, 1992 Page 3 5. Discharge the refrigeration room ventilation exhaust at the inlet of the closed-circuit cooling tower and control both the exhaust and the cooling tower with common controls so that both operate simultaneously. 6. Install an ammonia alarm system. 7. Label and mark the complete system as required. In summary, this is a very similar system to that installed at the Pestritto Foods Plant, but does not incorporate the secondary containment for the sparge tank due to the quantity of system ammonia being less that 1,000 gallons. We hope that this proposed system will meet your requirements. Please review this letter and comment to me as soon as possible. If you agree in principle with this suggested solution, we will prepare the required drawings for your review. Thank you for help. Very truly yours, FACILITIES DESIGN, INC.

Following are my comments regarding the system proposed for the Crystal Geyser plant. 1. You are correct that UFC 80.40280.402(b)3C applies therefore ventilation per 80.402(b)2C will not be required. 2. Ammonia is a toxic gas by definition under UFC Article 9 (attached). UF© 80.402(b)3G does apply. The design you are proposing appears to address the requirements of this section. The engine room serves as a gas storage room and the ventilation of ammonia to the condenser provides a treatment system. 3. Secondary containment is not required for the contents of the refrigeration system because anhydrous ammonia is a compressed gas by definition under UFC Article 9 (attached). SecOndary containment will be required for the sparge tank if the total contents after an ammonia release will exceed 1000 gallons of ammonium hydroxide. 4. Use of the existing water tank will be acceptable as long as it is structurally fit for the application. 5. The floor drain piping to a dedicated sump within the to' eliminate possible flow of a' liquid ammonia spill to the sewer and perhaps out of the engine room is acceptable. 6. The power for the detection, treatment and ventilation equipment will be acceptable to the Fire Department as long as it meet requirements for "standby power" per the Uniform Electrical Code. Contact Russ Combs at the Bakersfield Building Department regarding this definition. 7. Ammonia scrubbing via the cooling tower is an acceptable concept. Calculations should be provided with the plans that verify that the system complies with the intent of UFC 80.303(a)6C & D. 8. The proposal for gas detection and labeling are acceptable. 9. Excess flow control and welded fittings are also required. I believe that you have addressed those requirements in past correspondence. .

Following are comments which are intended to clarify the questions which have been raised and to provide direction for the completion of the refrigeration system plans. 1. The method described for treatment of ammonia vapor releases from the engine room appears to address the intent of UFC Article 80. A specific method for treatment or scrubbing is not specified in the code and designs other than the "Pestritto model" may be considered. Treatment systems must meet the design and performance criteria specified in UFC 80.303(a)6D. 2. The ammonia diffusion tank does 'not have to be completely enclosed in a containment structure which recaptures and scrubs ammonia vapor unless this is necessary to meet the requirements of UFC 80.303(a)6D. Secondary containment will have to be provided for the liquid contents of the diffusion tank. 3, UFC 80.303(a)5 exempts toxic compressed gases from the requirement for secondary containment of a liquid spill. The engine room floor does not need to be depressed to provide containment for the liquid ammonia charge. 4. UFC 80.401(I)'requires standby power for the use of a toxic compressed gas. Check with the Bakersfield Building Department for the technical definition of standby power. Plans detailing the UFC Article 80 compliance should be submitted.to: Bakersfield Fire Department Hazardous Materials Division 2130 G Street Bakersfield, CA 93301 If you wish to obtain copies of the plans for UFC Article 80 compliance at the Pestritto Foods Plant, you will need to ask Pestritto for them directly.

California Ave. Bakersfield, CA 93307 Dear' Alex: We have reviewed the "NOTICE TO COMPLY WITH THE UNIFORM FIRE CODE - ARTICLE 80" per the October 2, 1992, letter to you from Barbara Brenner, Hazardous Materials Planning Technician, Bakersfield Fire Department. We received a copy of this letter in our office on October 8, 1992, and, after reviewing the items with Barbara Brenner, our staff and others who have had similar experience with this article in Bakersfield, we have assembled the following partial list of actions that will be required to obtain the necessary permits: 1. All ammonia relief-valve vents and ammonia fire-dump piping are required to be discharged into a diffusion tank filled with water in an amount equivalent to 2 gallons per pound of ammonia in the system. This involves approximately 11,000 gallons of water storage required for this system. The diffusion tank must be constructed of steel and located within a secondary enclosure which must contain the water and ammonia mixture along with any gas vapors in the event of a leak in the diffusion tank. This tank enclosure must be ventilated or exhausted with the exhaust recovered through a scrubber and returned to the diffusion tank. 2. The refrigeration system must be connected to various ammonia detectors which control the' king liquid- solenoid valve. In the event of a leak that energizes" a detector, the flow of refrigerant to the plant must be stopped and the entire refrigeration system shut down. Full service design capabilities by Professior~l Engineers FACILITIES DESIGN,INC. October 14, 1992 Page 2 3. The mechanical ventilation for the refrigerant compressor room must be connected via suitable ductwork to one of the evaporative condensers which will be used as an ammonia scrubber. A pH sensor must be located in the water pan of this condenser to assure the concentration of ammonia in the pan water has not been saturated. The overflow.and drain of this condenser must be connected to the diffusion tank and must be double valved to assure that the water from the pan is dumped into the diffusion tank rather than into the sanitary sewer when ammonia concentrations are above normal. The diffusion tank would be fitted with a water pump to supply water to this evaporative condenser when it is being used in this scrubber mode. 4. An emergency generator must be installed to provide power to the ammonia detection system, ammonia control valves, compressor room exhaust fan, evaporative condenser/scrubber fans and pump and the water make-up pump for the evaporative condenser/scrubber. 5. The refrigerant compressor room must be classified as an H7 occupancy which requires a two hour fire rating for walls and ceilings. This room must also be designed with the floor sufficiently depressed to hold the entire charge of ammonia plus sufficient water in containment (approximately 11,000 gallons). The floor drains must be automatically closed during the time when the floor area is being used for containment to prevent contaminated water from flowing into the sanitary sewer system. In summary, the following items have to be addressed and added to the project in order to comply with this letter: ...Addition of diffusion tank (approximately 11,000 gallons) with secondary containment structure and finding a suitable location for both. ...Addition of ventilation/exhaust to diffusion tank containment structure. ...Major revisions to ventilation/exhaust systems for refrigerant compressor room. FACILITIES DESIGN, INC. October 14, 1992 Page 3 ...Major revisions to the refrigerant compressor room to meet the requirements of an H7 occupancy and to depress the floor for containment. ...Revision of drains in refrigerant compressor room to prevent ammonia discharge to sanitary sewer system. ...Addition of emergency~generator system to power additional equipment. ...Addition of alarms, detectors, pumps and fans, etc. This'summary is not necessarily a complete list as we will have to work closely with the Fire Department to obtain their final approval. In that this work is beyond the present scope of the project and appears to be a unique requirement of the Bakersfield Fire Department, compliance will create additional expense for the project and could cause delay in the construction. · We are FAXing a copy of this letter to Terry Agnew of STATCO for direction as to how to proceed with this situation.

California Ave. Bakersfield, CA Alex: - During my inspection on 7-12-93, I identified the following Article 80 Uniform Fire Code requirements which have' not been implemented in your new plant. 1. Excess flow control must be provided for the high side of the ammonia refrigeration system. [UFC 80.402(c)3C] See letter to Ronald Hoover, Facilities Design, dated 11-16-92. 2. The ammonia detectors controlling the engine room air treatment system must be set to insure that ammonia discharges to atmosphere do not exceed 250 ppm (1/2 I DLH). [80.303(a)6D(iii)]. You may wish to contact Pestritto staff to find out what they use as calibration standards. 3. Stationary vessels containing hazardous materials must be labeled. [UFC 80.401 (n)2] Piping & tubing shall be labeled to indicate the materials conveyed. [80.401 (c)2B]. Emergency shutoff valves shall be identified and the location shall be clearly marked with a sign. [80.402(c)2C] While I have extended authorization to charge the plant with ammonia so that the contractor can complete installation and testing, these Fire Code compliance issues must be resolved immediately. Please let me knoTM how each item will be addressed prior to jUly 23, 1993. Si~.o_ncerely, ~ Barbara Brenner Hazardous Materials Planning Technician cc: Ralph Huey ..

Box 9217 Bakersfield, CA'93389 Gary: Following my 'review of the draft hazard, consequence and risk analyses for the Crystal Geyser plant, I have the following questions and concerns. 1. How often is forklift traffic expected in or through the engine room? How high can Crystal Geyser's forklifts reach? Can they endanger the high pressure receiver? 2. Will forklifts travel in the vicinity of the emergency ammonia diffusion control box? Damage to the valves or piping in this box could result in a large exterior ammonia release. 3. ImproPer operation of the emergency ammonia diffuser, rapid addition of ammonia to the water tank, should be included in the haz op. The installation contractor mentioned that addition of liquid ammonia can blow all the water out of the tank. Is there a way that liquid ammonia can be sent to the tank? 4. Potential for ammonia releases while draining oil from the system should be analyzed and the findings documented. 5. Notes on the pressure vessel data sheets indicate that the equipment is for noncorrosive service. This brings up questions of whether the materials of construction are compatible with anhyd[ous ammonia. What is the ASME Code definition of noncorrosive service? 6. The Fire Code has been satisfied due to the ability to remotely operate the electric king valve. Should convenient access be provided for operation of the manual king valve? In Appendix IV, Inputs, the'informa~tion relating to the electric king valve states that the valve will not fail closed if the emergency stop switch is on or if the king solenoid valve switch is turned off at control panel R-1. Have the causes and outcomes of these conditions been evaluated? 7. Should the computer control system be included as a haz op node to identify the consequences of potential failures and manual overrides? 8. The I~azard analysis text does not document the codes and standards to which the plant Was designed and constructed. Once these issues have been addressed and the hazard analysis has been finalized, I will comment further on the content of the RMPP modifications. This project is behind schedule in that the plant is soon to begin operation. At this time, VVZl and CryStal Geyser.need to submit a schedule for completion of the RMPP modifications and a request for an extension of time to complete the work. Please call me if you have any questions regarding the items outline above.

It is very important that the qualifications of the RMPP preparer and hazard analysis team be submitted to and accepted by this agency prior to the start of work on the hazard analysis. Bakersfield Fire is finding it increasingly important to verify that hazard analysis teams have specific training in the area of hazard analysis. We will not blanketly accept a preparer just because they have completed other RMPPs. I do not want any problems in the RMPP process to cause Crystal Geyser unnecessary expense or delays in the start up of the new plant. However, the RMPP preparation must proceed according to the guidelines I have supplied to you. The process must begin with submittal of preparer qualifications which address the questions posed in Bakersfield Fire's RMPP qualification and preparation guidelines. Please call me at 326-3979 if you have any questions.

Sincerely, Barbara Brenner Hazardous Materials Planning Technician cc: Ralph Huey FIRE DEPARTMENT 2101 H STREET S. D. JOHNSON BAKERSFIELD. 93301 FIRE CHIEF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS DIVISION 326.3911 RISK MANAGEMENT AND PREVENTION PROGRAM PREPARATION GUIDELINES SELECTION OF A PREPARER: '"*'"Use the Bakersfield Fire Department Hazardous Material Division's "Recommended Qualifications" questionnaire to prepare a summary of the qualifications of the risk management and prevention program (RMPP) preparer and team members. "* Be sure that the RMPP preparer is willing to follow these guidelines closely. Revision of RMPP and supporting documents adds expense to the cost of the project. HAZARD ANALYSIS: Risk Management and Prevention Programs are based upon the results of a hazard analysis. The hazard analyses idontifies hazards associated with the handling of an acutely hazardous materials (AHM) due to operating error, equipment failure, and external events. This includes failures of emergency AHM handling equipment which could complicate or worsen an AHM release. ,.,,,v The hazard analysis must reflect the conditions found at the time of the evaluation. Do not integrate proposed mitigation measures into the hazard analysis. You may note these measures separately, but clearly identify them as proposals. * Include a review of the operating/safety procedures in the human error portion of the hazard analysis. ,-*' Use accurate, up to date piping and instrumentation diagrams (PIDs) for all hazard analyses. Perform a physical survey of each AHM handling system to check the accuracy of existing PIDs. Allow adequate time to develop or update PIDs. Form FD 1593 * Evaluate the potential for a significant seismic event to cause an AHM release. Include stru'ctural and nonstructural assessment as part of the hazard analysis feedback loop by asking questions such as: Are there points within the facility where a seismic event could cause a release of an AHM? VVhat injuries may result form each of these releases? VVhere the potential for injury exists, is the installation of engineering controls less expensive than a more eXtensive seismic assessment? Pressure drop actuated shut-off valves, fail closed valves and improved bracing are examples of possible risk reduction measures. A review of geotechnical reports, design specifications and construction type will be necessary to answer these questions. Compare the seismic protection provided, by the construction codes and industry standards in effect at the time of construction, to current codes and standards. Include all recommendations for improved seismic safety in the RMPP implementation schedule. Do the amount of work necessary.to certify that the points where an earthquake could cause a release are well protected and that the risk of an AHM release is controlled. ...... ._-~¢. Submit full documentatio, n. of the hazard .analysis tO. the Hazardous Materials Division before beginning work on the RMpP report. Include all d'eviatio~s cons'idere~d'lsy the hazard analysis team in the documentation. Present all engineering items in a tabular form. Non-engineering items may be written out with a brief description of the topic considered and the conclusions. ~ Include copies of all appropriate PIDs in the hazard analysis. Highlight all the lines studied with a bright marker and note the latest revision date of the PIDs submitted. *'~* Submit a list of all of the codes, standards and laws that applied to the design and construction of the AHM handling systems and associated structures.. CONSEQUENCE ANALYsIs - VAPOR DISPERSION MODELING' Dispersion analysis is necessary to determine the potential for offsite consequences. Risk management programs are intended to prevent a~utely hazardous materials accident risks. An acutely hazardous materials accident risk is the potential for a release of an acutely hazardous material which could produce a significant likelihood that persons exposed may suffer acute health effects resulting in significant injury or de~th. In addition to likely events, a RMPP must consider and plan for infrequent events which could also cause acute health effects in humans. 2 Form FD 1593 * If air dispersion of an AHM is possible, model releases representing all of the types of' hazards identified during the hazard analysis regardless of the likelihood. V'~nd speeds, stability classes and temperatures selected for modeling must include the worst case weather conditions. * Complete the air dispersion modeling using AHM concentrations that represent the Immediate Danger to Life and Health (IDLH) and the EPA Level of Concern (LOC). EPA LOC is equal to 1/10 of the IDLH. * Document all assumptions used in AHM dispersion modeling. '* Air modeling data must include AHM concentrations predicted within the dispersion plumes. Provide the AHM concentrations predicted at the facility property line and at 1/2 · the distance between the property line and the outer edge of each plume, * Air modeling data must include the expected arrival and duration times of each plume at the locations 'of the IDLH and LOC concentrations. * When surface roughness values are used in' the air model calculations, they must be site specific. Include reasons for the choice of surface roughness values in the documentation. * Submit all of the air .m0deling..data outlined above. Include any engineering calculations used to determine the rate and duration of a chemical release, * Present air modeling results in one unit of measure. Do not switch back and forth between units of measure. * Submit a Computer generated hard copy' of the model input and output data files. * Label all data tables and computer input/output files with the following information: type of failure, quantity of material released, rate of release, duration of release, value of IDLH or LOC, stability class and other weather conditions. RISK ASSESSMENT: The risk analysis is used by AHM handlers to classify the likelihood and consequences of AHM incident. Complete a risk assessment to estimate the probability of occurrence and the degree of consequences for each of the potential failures identified in the hazard analysis. 3 Form FD 1593 Chapter 6.95 defines a RMPP as" all of the administrative and operational programs of a business which are designed to prevent acutely hazardous materials accident risks". Therefore, risk management planning must include evaluation of the possible consequences to facility employees as well as offsite consequences. * Estimate the probability of an acutely hazardous material accident for each of the failure events identified in the hazard analysis. Use the definitions of high, medium and Iow probability given on Attachment 1. * Estimate the consequences of these acutelY hazardous materials accidents to both on site and off site receptors. Use the definitions of high, medium and Iow severity of consequences given on Attachment 1. * state the reasons for rating the probability and severity of consequence of each AHM incident as high, medium or Iow. Include data, calculations and references which support these conclusions. . * Submit the risk analysis in a tabular form similar to Attachment 2. * It is best to have all areas of concern clarified before preparation of the RMPP begins. Therefore, it is advisable to submit drafts of the risk and consequence analyses to the Hazardous Materials Division as soon as they are complete. OFFSITE CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS: The air dispersion modeling outlined above will serve as a ba.sis for the off site consequence analysis. * The text of the offsite consequence analysis should define the potential consequences of each AHM release. Use the definitions of high, medium, or Iow provided on Attachment 1. Discuss possible consequences to all potential receptors. Consider all employee and residential populations in all possible downwind directions, as well as the sensitive populations specified in the Health and Safety Code.. * Release durations are critical for predicting the possible health effects of a chemical exposure. Discuss the minimum and maximum duration of the various AHM releases. If the release duration is dependant upon human emergency response actions, provide release durations for each of the following circumstances: successful emergency response by facility personnel, successful emergency response by public agency responders, no successful emergency response. 4 Form FD 1593 * The offsite consequence analysis must include a clearly prepared map which, for the most likely hazards, shOws the location of the facility and the location of the populations specified in Section 25534.1. This map must identify the offsite area which may be required to take protective action in the event of an AHM release. Based upon the Legislative intent, Webster's definition of hazard and the EPA defi;qitions of probability and consequence, "most likely hazards" may be defined as follows. Most Likely Hazards, AHM releases or incidents which poses a danger to persons offsite. Hazardous events have a medium or high offsite consequenoe. Low consequence events are not a source of danger. Therefore, if no high probability event poses a medium or high offsite consequence, a medium or Iow probability release will be considered the most likely hazard. * The offsite consequence map must depict the potential for AHM dispersion at the time of the RMPP submittal. A second map may be included showing the effect of planned mitigation measures at the facility. * Worst case weather conditions must be used for preparation of the offsite .._ consecluence map_..... ........... * Zones of i/ulnerability must be shown on the offsite consequence map. Hazard footprint isopleths may be included. Attachment 3 provides an example of this combined approach. * Offsite consequence maps must show levels of exposure predicted in the zones effected by AHM releases. Label offsite consequence maps with the AHM concentrations predicted at the facility property line and at a point 1/2 of distance between the facility property line and the LOC or IDLH concentration. * Label offsite consequence maps the following information: type of release, compass direction, scale of diagram, weather conditions, types of land use surrounding the facility, the locations of schools, day care facilities, hospitals, long te~m health care facilities and essential public services. * Present maps and air modeling data figures using matching units of measure and scale. 5 Form FD 1593 MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS: * Conduct audits of the management pr~ogram before writing the RMPP document. Management programs should address accident investigation, training, inspection and maintenance, .record keeping, emergency preparedness and the management of change. * Make certain that hazard communication programs,' emergency response training, evacuation plans and training programs comply with CAL-OSHA requirements. Alarm equipment, fire sprinkler systems and exiting plans must comply with the Uniform Fire and Building Codes for the specific type of occupancy. RMPP CONTENTS: * The RMPP must address the requirements of Division 20, Chapter 6.95, Article 2 of the California Health and Safety Code. * All information submitted must be legible. * RMPP format is at the discretion of facility staff and the preparers. Hazard analyses and offsite consequence analyses may be included in the RMPP or may be submitted as a separate document. If you intend to claim that specific pieces of information are ........... trade ..secrets, the claim must. be. in. writing.. Substantiate trade secret claims based on the CA Govern'r:nent Code, Section 6254.7 and' Section 1060 of the' Evidence Code.' * If PIDs contain trade secrets, the RMPP must include a simplified process flow diagram. Non trade secret flow diagrams must contain enough detail to explain the process clearly. * Reference all figures, tables, charts, diagrams, statisticsl etc. submitted with the date of data, the source of data and the name of preparer. * RMPPs should include the business's use of state of the art devices, mitigation measures, monitoring systems and any additional types of hardware systems that will reduce the risk of a AHM release, incorporate industry accepted management practices and procedures into the risk management plan. * Include written procedures that direct proper handling of any potential AHM releases that exist after ~mplementation of the RMPP. These procedures should provide simple decision trees that are readily available to process and equipment operators. They shoUld clearly define the authority to act to control a release. * If sensitive receptors may be'impacted by"a AHM release, the RMPP must include an offsite hazard communication plan including emergency notification procedures. 6 Form FD 1593 AGENCY REVIEW: * Hazardous Material Division staff review risk management and prevention program for completion based on the scope and content of the RMPP and supporting documents. * The City of Bakersfield charges AHM handlers for staff time spent reviewing RMPPs and supporting documents. RMPP oversight charges are billed on a quarterly basis. * RMPPs and supporting documents that do not comply with these guidelines will be returned to the preparer for correction. * The Hazardous Materials Division may require an independent third party review of a RMPP and any technical studies used to develop a RMPP. The cost of any third party review required by this agency will be paid by the AHM handler. Third party review shall be conducted by a contractor approved by this administering agency. PUBLIC REVIEW: * The Hazardous Materials Division will publish a public notice in the Bakersfield Californian., with in 15 days of finding a RMPP complete. The notice will state that the RMPP is available for public review for 45 days. 7 Form FD 1593 Attachment 1 RISK ANALYSIS MATRIX ~ ~ Combinations et Conclusions ~ -r- ~ ~ From Risk Analysis that OD (.D Identify Situations of Major ¢~ -F' Concern .OD ,~ ~ ~ .

California Ave. Bakersfield, CA 93307 Mr. Manns: The Risk Management and Prevention .~ogram (RMPP) inspection conducted today, revealed that-the Crystal Geyser staff ~e done a good job implementing this RMPP. Following is a list of items that do require follow up consideration and action. 1. A plan for inspection, testing and maintenance of the pressUre relief valves must be established. The ANSI standard, which I left with Norman, contains information on this topic. The pressure relief maintenance plan submitted should include reference citations for the standards or codes upon which it is based. 2. Appendix B-IV indicates that smoke alarms were proposed for installation throughout the plant. Does Crystal Geyser intend to install smoke detectors? If not please explain why. If smoke detectors will be installed, please indicate where they will be located and when the installation will be complete. 3. Be sure to start logging the preventative maintenance performed by Power Refrigeration Corporation during their semiannual visits.to your plant. Note what type of work was done. The ammonia safety audit indicated that the refrigeration system had not been inspected by an outside inspector within the last 5 years. It may be that the Power Refrigeration personnel could provide this service at the time of their routine visits. 4. The review of maintenanCe records by the plant manager and' the corporate maintenance manager should be documented. 5. The suggestion by'Norman Ambrose to replace the ammonia fill hose with a hose specifically rated for anhydrous ammonia service should be implemented. The ANSI standards provide information regarding the type of hose required for transfer of anhydrous ammonia. 6. The safety audit and the hazard and operability study indicate that the design of the equipment and piping in the existing plant are not well documented. 'Be sure to retain all of the process and instrument diagrams and equipment specifications for the new refrigeration system. These documents will be required for hazard analyses regarding any changes to the plant design that may be necessary in the future. Re-creation of process and instrument diagrams would be quite costly. 7. There were pallets obstructing the path toward the exit in the south west corner of the building. Remind plant staff that exit aisles must remain clear. Please prepare a response which notes how each of the items listed above will be addressed by Crystal Geyser. One.~..onth should be adequate time for preparation of this inforrflation. The response to th~'b inspection findings will be due on September 28, 1992. I have enclosed some information for Gerhard regarding how to obtain th'e ARCHIE computer model and for Norman regarding contact information for the International Ammonia Refrigeration Institute (ILAR).

Barbara Brenner, Fire Department Hazardous Materials Division SUBJECT: 'Crystal. Geyser's Plans for Expansion Following review of the plans submitted for the expansion of the Crystal Geyser plant located at 1233 E. California Ave:, the Hazardous Materials Division has determined that this expansion will involve a substantial addition to the existing ammonia refrigeration system. Crystal Geyser has been notified that they must meet the requirements of UFC Article 80 regarding the handling of ammonia, a toxic gas. The engine room where the bulk of the ammonia will be stored will be required to meet the requirements for an H7 occupancy. Modifications to the eXisting risk management and prevention program (RMPP) for this facility will have to be completed and submitted prior to operation of the new refrigeration equipment. To date the Fire Department has not received any plans for compliance from Crystal Geyser. Permits for the construction of the facility should not be issued until plans for compliance with UFC Article 80 have been approved. The Hazardous Materials Division also asks that the final authorization .for occupancy/operations be withheld until the RMPP has been submitted to us. I will continue to follow up and encourage Crystal .Geyser to address these Fire Code and Health and Safety Code compliance issues.

Sincerely, Barbara Brenner Hazardous Materials Planning Technician cc: Ralph Huey 2.0 Descriptien of AHM' Accidents 2.1 Accidents at this Location On March 23, 1989 a release invoiving the ammonia system caused neighbors to complain of an ammonia smell. A power failure caused the system to shut down. When -power was returned;--the- initial-.startup blew three-thirty, amp fuses, in--the: .......... condenser panel, shutting down both compressors. The operator did not know that the ,~ c_c6-6~.p re s s o rs.we.re_.n~tL-07p:er a.~tin__g?an d-tu rne d-o_n.-_tt _h~e~-¢_~'..mg_n ~_8_c_o._m_ P~s. Pressure in the system quickly rose, forcing ammonia through the high pressure relief valve. 2.2 Underlying Causes The release was caused by the operator who turned on the compressors al[hough the condensers were not working. 2.3 Measures Taken to Prevent Recurrence The operator is nov/ reauired to check the condensers every, time he turns on the compressors. He has received substantial training to ensure that this type of release does not recur. Only trained .personnel are allowed to operate the ammonia system. 2.4 Accident Inves:iga:ion Procedures After an accident has occurred, an ammonia incident report (Exhibit 5) shall be filled out. A post accident review shall be held in which potential causes of the accident are discussed. When the cause of the accident has been determined, a method shall be develop.ed to ensure that the accident will not recur. System design, operating and maintenance procedures that need updating or alteration .shall be noted, and a time schedule set for implementation of improvements. Responsibilities: The Plant Manager: o ensures that accident report is complete. o conducts the accident investigation. o guides accident response. The Maintenance Manager: o provides technical details of' reports. o assists with the accident investigation. o directs physical plant changes. o makes changes to the training program, if changes are necessary. All employees' o assist with the accident investigation. Page 8 2.5 Relbase Reporting Procedures Releases of acutely hazardous materials that threaten human health and safety or the environment must be reported. The Piant Manager is responsible for determining the significance and reportability of a release. If an ammonia release exceeds 200 cubic feet during a 24-hour period or constitut, es _a threat to life, health or the en(/ironment, the event is 'repOrtable and the following agency mUs~-be notified'immediately.' -' Telephone: (805) 326-3979 Telephone' 1-800-424-8802 ~. The Plant Manager is respor~sible for reporting a release.

Process variables are noted and action is taken if required. Other operating control systems include labeling to ensure that proper actions are taken, and safe operating procedures training. Inexperienced workers are not allowed to operate the ammonia system or to perform work on the system. Any new employees must be trained thoroughly before they are allowed to operate the system. 5.3 Maintenance Control Systems 7' ' The Maintenance Manager is responsible for controlling maintenance of the system. Maintenance records are a control method. Exhibit 7 is a copy of a mai0tenance reco rd. Page 1 6 7.0 Proposed Risk Reduction Measures 7.1 Written .Operating Procedures Written operating procedures (Section 4.1 of this RMPP) ensure that operators are well trained for their positions. Written procedures ensure that safe practices are continued ............. des~ff~-"tL~i:i~oVer'in' perSis-hnel~ 'These procedures will be manager's office and in this RMPP document, easily accessed by operating personnel. 7.2 Written Maintenance Procedures W~ih-f~ ce-pro ce du re (-_'(~ e ~t.~nL4~-2-ef-t. hi sR.M PP-)-.en s u r-e~:~h a.t--wo rke r~ are, ~--~r,~d~t-d-2-~-~Y.r~£~,~t~-n-~n~e--~n----~-~r~`~h-i.~f;fi~r~ti~;~Qi7p-~dt~ Written procedures ensure that safety is continuous despite turnover in personnel. If contract help is required, written maintenance procedures may prevent accidents caused by contractor unfamiliarity with the ammonia system. These procedures will be kept in the maintenance manager's office and in this RMPP document, easily accessed by maintenance personnel. 7.3 Increased Inspections Increased emphasis on inspections will ensure that deficiencies or problems are detected before they result in a release of ammonia. The inspection program is described in Section 10.0 of this RMPP. 7.4 Better Labeling Labeling and warning signs are an effective means of communicating hazards to new employees and/or visitors to the plant. Emergency responders.may need to know the contents of lines or types of materials in use. Improved labeling of lines or specific hazards will help to reduce '~he risk of release of AHM. Ammonia lines will be labeled. 7.5 Safety and Training Program Employees will receive training under Crystal Gays,er Bakersfirld's safety program. The training program is described in Section 11.3, Training Program for RMPP Implementation. Release prevention and emergency response training will reduce the risk of releases and minimize consequences of releases. 7.6 Fire Prevention Plan The fire prevention plan at Cwstal Geyser Bakersfield relies upon employee safety training, and good housekeeping practices. A s~)rinkler system protects the building from fires. Page 1 8 7.7 Physical Plant Changes A pressure relief valve (PRV) has been added to the inner receiver. The storage location of the ammonia cylinders will. be moved to the totally enclosed canopied and sprinklered compressor area in 1991. ............ 7.8 .......

The ammonia system is tt.u]:n.-eYd~-~f:f3'dur ng times when the plant is unoccupied,' minimizing the risk of accidents occurring in the unattended plant. Maintenance practices coupled with operations training reduce the risk of arflmonia, releasing accidents. Proposed changes to the physical plant further reduce risk to neighboring facilities. An ammonia diffusion system to be added will absorb the ammonia before it can present a risk to receptors. The plant engineer (maintenance manager) is' responsible for operation of the diffusion system. He will designate a trained employee to operate the ammonia system dudng his absence. Page 1 9 8.~ Emergency Contingency Plans 8.1 General Evacuation Employees are verbally notified of emergencies by the plant manager or his designee. ~ A!I employees.are to leave i_mmediately through the nearest exit and regroup at the ............. parking lot at East California and Lakeview. Emergency-~esponde'rs will be 'hOtified through 911. Exhibit 8 is a map showing emergency evacuation routes. This route has been planned to bypass ammonia systems that may be leaking. 8.2 Fi re The sprinkler system will engage when it has detected a fire. All employees are to leave immediately through the nearest exit and regroup at the parking lot at East California and Lakeview. Emergency responders will be notified through 911. The · sprinklers will extinguish fires in the plant. 8.3 Earthquake Employees Should remain in safe, stable locations (in door'ways, under sturdy desks) until earth movement has ceased. After the earthquake, all employees are to leave immediately through the nearest exit and regroup at the parking lot at East California and Lakeview, far enough from the building to avoid falling masonry. 8.4 Significant Leak from the Ammonia System Employees are verbally notified of the leak. Notify the Ammonia operators will work to isolate the leak, if possible. All non essential employees are to leave immediately and regroup at the parking lot at East California and Lakeview. Clean up procedures for an ammonia release will mitigate the effects of the release: o Ventilation will reduce concentrations of ammonia in enclosed areas o if liquid ammonia is on the floor, spray it with large quantities of cold water o Water will absorb ammonia: high concentrations of ammonia vapor or dispersed ammonia, can be diluted with water spray. During a release, the plant engineer (maintenance manager) will:- o Stop leaks o Supervise the use of self 'contained breathing apparatus. The plant engineer has an in-depth knowledge of the ammonia system. He has many ' ' years of experience with refrigeration systems. P~e 2 0 6.0 RISK' ANALYSIS 6.1 Release Probability The ammonia syStem at the Crystal Geyser plant has been in operation for approximately five years. The hazard .and operability study determined that the · probability of minor releases of ammonia through fugitive emission points or through compressor shaft seals during system shutdown was fairly high. The risk of a major release due to human error or. system malfunction is much lower, but can be further reduced through procedural changes and an improved training and record keeping program. A release resulting from a major earthquake is likely to be large. 6.2 Severity of Conseauences The severity of consequences from an ammonia release is moderate because: 1. The quantity of ammonia in the ammonia system is sufficient to cause injury to neighboring receptors in a worst case release. 2. It meets the criteria provided by the EPA/FEMA (1987) of~-.oTd~r£ate-e~"-~-~ severity of con.s, equences to people. Those criteria are: i. Low: Chemical is expected to move into the surrounding environment in negligible concentrations. Injuries expected only for exposure over extended periods or when individual personal health conditions create complications. II. Medium: Chemical is expected to move ,into the surrounding environment in concentrations sufficient to cause serious injuries and/or deaths unless prompt and effective corrective action is taken. Death and/or injuries are expected only for exposure over extended periods or when individual personal health conditions create complications.

California Ave. Bakersfield, CA 93307 Mr. Manns, Enclosed is a copy of the letter that I sent Linda Knowles in response to our meeting last week. If you have any questions feel free to call me anytime at 326-3979. Sincerely, Barbara Brenner Hazardous Materials Planning Technician December'7, 1990 Ms. Linda Knowles WZI Inc. P.O. BOX 9217 Bakersfield, CA 93389 Dear Linda, I have looked into the items which we discussed last week with Crystal Geyser's management. Following is the information which I hope will answer the questions which arose. The 1982 Uniform Fire Code (UFC) was in effect in Bakersfield in 1985 when the ammonia refrigeration system was installed at the Crystal Geyser Facility. The 1982 UFC included the same requirements as the 1988 UFC does regarding diffusion systems on ammonia refrigeration systems. There is not an exemption based upon the size of a system and no special variances were issued at the time of installation. Crystal Geyser will be required to bring their Bakersfield facility into compliance with the UFC Article 63. I have enclosed a copy of the 1982 code for your reference. Interior storage of toxic compressed gases is much more stringent than exterior storage under the 1988 UFC~ As long as the stored cylinders are secure and located outside under a noncombustible, 'sprinklered canopy ( in compliance with Section 80.303 (b)3) we are not going to require total upgrade to meet all of the requirements of Section 80.303(b). Bakersfield Fire offers CPR training on an ongoing basis at a cost of 2 dollars per student. Schedules are set up for 6 week periods and can be obtained by calling Ms. Janet Mason at 399-4697. I have been perusing information on alternative ammonia diffusion systems which avoid dumping ammonium hydroxide to the sewer. As I receive the details on the emergency flares and passive systems which evacuate the gas into a tank of water, I will pass the information along. I will also determine the acceptability of these methods to the Fire Department and the Air Pollution Control District.

Box 9217 Bakersfield, cA 93389 Dear Ms. Kiser, In reviewing the Crystal Geyser RMPP, I founO a number cf areas where vague language needs to be clarliled. It is necessary to be specific when describing risk management activities so that it will be possible to document an~ follow up on RMPP implementation. There are also several areas which nsec ~urther planning. I have outlined all of these areas o~ concern in the pages attached. Several of the items which need further planning are related to compliance with the 1988 Uniiorm Fire Code. Section 1.103 (b) of the code addresses exis~ingoconditions. "The provisions o~ this code shall apply to existing conditions aa well es to conOitiona arising after the adoption thereof, except that conditions legally in existence at the 'adoption oi this code an~ not in. strict compliance therewith shall be permitted to continue only ii, In the opinion of the Chief, theY do not constitute a oistlncn hazaro to liie or property." The potential that en ammonia .release from Favorite Foods has, to cause' in3ury to nearby receptors, is greet. enough to require compliance with many of the sections of the 1988 Uniform Fire Code. Upon rereview oi the Ha=etd and Operability StuOy, I reali=e~ that the text conilicta with the conclusions drawn regarOing consequences. On pegs 9 of the Hat-OD, several possible conOitions caused by an ammonia release are described as having potentially severe consequences. On page 16, the consequences ol a worst case event are defined aa of medium severity. I also raise the question of the appropriateness of a medium'consequence ~esignation base~ on the modeling ~esults. Concentrations o~ ammonia are preo~ctea to be 9950 gpm ~o~ 3 mlnutes at .2 miles /rom the ~lte. The International' Institute o~ ammonla reir~geration regards ammonia exposures exceeding 5000 gpm to be '~apl~ly ~atal ~ue to strangulation an~ asphyxia. Please address the contradictory conciuslona about the consequences of a worst case release at Crystal Geyser Dy November 26, 1990. Responses to all o~ the items ~or clarification ana further planning should be integratea into the appropriate sections of the RMPP. The plans for the ammonia ~i~usion system must be Dian checked by the Fire Safety Control Division prior to it's construction. The law allows 60 days for amendments to be made to an RMPP which has not been accepted by an Administering Agency. Thereiore, the Crystal Geyser will be due for. resubmittal on January 2, 1991. I am available anytime to assist you with Fire Code interpretations. Please call if you have any questions regarding this response to Crystal Geyser's Risk Management and Prevention Plan.

The comments that you made regarding the Crystal Geyser Hazards Analysis report are discussed herein. Revisions incorporating details discussed in this letter have been made to the Hazards Analysis report, now an Appendix to the RMPP. 1. Documentation of worst case credible release: What controls prevent a total system dump if the lines fail at the receiver?. Documentation of the worst case credible release is included in Section 4.2 (Potential Worst Case Release Scenarios) and Section 6.1 (Release Probability) of the revised Hazards Analysis. A total system dump is possible if lines fail at the receiver. The ammonia in the system is in both liquid and vapor form. An instantaneous release of the contents of the outdoor receiver has the greatest potential to cause severe off-site consequences through the possible formation of a dense gas cloud of dispersed liquid ammonia. A release of the rest of the ammonia in the system is likely to be in the form of vapors (an ammonia release, whether through relief valve release, or line or vessel failure, will result in lower system pressure. Lower pressure cause the ammonia to evaporate more quickly, becoming a gas that quickly rises when introduced into the atmosphere.) and liquids that are more likely to pool and evaporate than become an air/liquid dispersion. The amount of liquid that forms a dispersion cloud of ammonia determines the impact of the worst case release, not the total volume of ammonia released. A total svstemdump within the..building could result in severe consequences to employees that are not able to evacuate before the building fills with ammonia. Both liquid/air dispersions and high concentrations of ammonia present risks to employees within the building. The release of vessel's contents, followed by a release of the rest of the ammonia in the system could cause a liquid/air dispersion followed by a release of highly concentrated ammonia vapors. Within the confines of a building that is not well ventilated, very high ammonia concentrations could rise. 2. Are all valves beside the solenoid valves manual? Other valves in the system are manual; however, the system is highly automated. Normal operation of the system does not require manual operation of shutoff valves other than the valve at the compressors where oil is added. The ammonia flows from compressors directly to the condensers from the condensers to the outdoor receiver. From the outdoor compressor, ammonia flow is controlled by the automatic level control at the indoor receiver. The ammonia flows from the indoor receiver into the carbo coolers and back into the indoor receiver, where ammonia vapors are pulled by compressor suction back to the compressors and liquid is circulated back through the carbo coolers. For normal operation, operators are required only to turn on the system and to add oil to the compressors periodically. 3. The schematic of the process needs to show all shutoff and pressure relief valves. The schematic diagram shows location of shutoff and pressure relief valves. 4. Are the lines that go through the building accessible for inspection? Yes, the lines that go through the building are easily examined for signs of problems. 5. The sight glass on the outdoor receiver is flanged off. What measure of protection does this provide? A metal plate has been inserted in place of a sight glass. The plate is less likely to break if struck. 6. Is the quantity of ammonia stored on site to be reduced or is the storage location being changed? Crystal Geyser plans to store less ammonia (fewer cylinders). 7. Are ammonia lines protected from physical damage of forklifts, etc. ? Ammonia lines are located at ceiling level. Forklifts are not used in areas where ammonia lines are located. Ammonia lines and equipment are located in areas of restricted or limited employee access. Page 2 8. How well are receivers, condensers, compressors etc. anchored? The compressors are bolted to cement foundations. The condensers, the outdoor receiver, and their connecting lines are firmly connected together and the receiver and condensers are well anchored to the ground outside of the plant. The indoor receiver is supported from the roof of the building and is connected by liens to the carbo coolers' which are anchored to foundations. The longer lengths of pipe in the building are anchored to the ceiling. 9. Are hot gas lines insulated? Condensation can cause hydraulic hammers. Gas lines from the indoor receiver to the compressors are insulated. The maintenance manager has stated that liquid in the gas lines to the compressors ................. has.~not- been-a-problem with this_system.--The-, design .of.~the~.system~prevents development of liquid in gas lines. 10. Show projected plumes of RMPP maps of model results. Plumes will be shown on maps of model results. 11. Crystal Geyser should have a relief valve register: a log of sizes specifications, and test schedules. Relief valves are listed as part of Appendix B-IV of the revised Hazards Analysis, Alarms and Control Devices. 12. A daily log of system variables should show action parameters. Crystal Geyser is developing a log for use with the ammonia system. 13. Response training and procedures are required. Crystal Geyser is developing their training program, as described in Section 7.5 of the RMPP. 14. Include response training procedures. These are included in the RMPP. 15. What protects p/ant employees - particularly in the building? o The ammonia equipment is isolated from the rest of the building. o Little employee action is required to run the system; therefore there is little room for employee error. Page 3 ~' o Smoke alarms are proposed. /' o The sprinkler system could be used to neutralize an ammonia leak. o Employee safety training educates employees about ways to prevent and respond to releases. o Evacuation training ensures that employees can leave the building when necessary and it ensures that they take proper action to leave the facility ina condition such that it does not present a risk to off-site receptors. 16. The RMPP should include training for others around'the ammonia who handle problems on the off shift. Norm Ambrose, the maintenance manager, handles any problems that may arise while the plant is not operating. He is on call to respond to emergencies. 17. Do we need isolation valves? The receivers are adequately isolated from the rest of the system. 18. Vent the PRV to outside. Crystal Geyser plants to vent the PRV at the indoor ammonia receiver to outside in the future. 19. What is the fire prevention plan? The fire prevention plan is described in the RMPP. Should you have any questions or require further information, please contact me at (805)326-1112.

Equipment diagrams are being developed; they are not yet available. I will be giving Crystal Geyser a copy of an ammonia safety audit. They have agreed to audit their ammonia system. The vulnerable zone appears to be substantially overestimated by the use of the ARCHIE model, making the hazard analysis conservative. The RMPP will focus on maintenance of equipment, safe operating procedures and employee training to reduce the risk of ammonia release. ~ For your information, I am enclosing a draft remote scenario for an ammonia plant and a brochure on ammonia alarms. Please contact me if your have any questions or require further information.

We understand that WZI has previously submitted documents of this nature to your office, which you have found to be done in accordance with good engineering practices and have deemed these documents to be acceptable. ,WZI is to begin immediately according to our directions and start the Hazards and Operability Study. After we have completed this portion of the RMPP we would like to set a date to meet and discuss the results with you. We hope to minimize your concerns and focus on those consequences that may require the most in terms of mitigation. We are requesting a ninety (90) day extension of the RMPP due date to ensure that sufficient time is spent addressing any and all concerns. We anticipate that the final document will be delivered to your office no later than July 1, 1990.
