compressor and pump the discharge oil separator down, then pump oil in. Because of
the large volume of gas that is e, ontalned In these vessels, it would be bas! to draw the
gas back into the system rather than drain it into a container of water. To accomplish
this:
1. Stop compressor.
2. Close discharge valve.
3. On second stage compressors close suction valve.
4, On second stage compressors open pump out line.
4. On Iow stage compressors open 3/8" bypass line around suction check valve.
4. After oil separator vessel pressure drops to suction pressure, around 2 psig,
close the auction valve.
5. Close the bypass valve. -
6. Pump in oil as needed.
NOTE: If you are going to replace the oil, it is easier and takes less time if you
drain the oil before you reduce the vessel pressure.
AMMONIA OFF-LOADING PROCEDUR~

SECTION I
1.1 Purpose and Scope of Plan Coverage
The Crystal Geyser Water Company, Bakersfield plant, formulates and bottles Crystal
Geyser brand juice drinks and flavored waters. For process cooling, an anhydrous
ammonia refrigeration system is used.
The Califomia Accidental Release Prevention (CalARP) Program merged the existing state
Risk Management and Prevention Plan (RMPP) and the new federal Risk Management
Plan (RMP) promulgated pursuant to Section 112(r) of the 1990 Clean Air Act
Amendments. The California Office of Emergency Services (OES) oversees the CalARP
regulations. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has delegated
implementation authority for the federal program to OES. At the local level, the program
is implemented by the Certified Unified Permitting Agency (CUPA). For facilities operating
within the City of Bakersfield, the CUPA is the City of Bakersfield Office of Environmental
Services.
Because the CalARP program is a combination of the federal and state requirements, the
program includes two lists of regulated toxic and flammable substances. While many of
the chemicals are present on both lists, the state applicability thresholds are generally
lower.
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;
03320012.001 2
· A Prevention Program that compiles operations 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.
Also addressed in this document are requirements of Title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 355. The requirements of this section apply to any facility at which an
extremely hazardous chemical is present at or above the threshold planning quantity.
These facilities are required to notify the local emergency planning committee or
emergency response personnel of the chemicals present, to provide a facility emergency
response coordinator and to notify the committee of any changes that occur.
Any facility that produces, uses or stores hazardous chemicals above the threshold
planning quantity is required to notify specific agencies in the event of a release.
Ammonia, the only hazardous chemical of any quantity located at Kern Ice and Cold
Storage's facility, has a threshold planning quantity of 500 pounds. The reportable
quantity for ammonia is 100 pounds.
This plan conforms to the City of Bakersfield's Guidance for the Preparation of a Facility
Compliance Plan. The City of Bakersfield's Guidance is taken from the Draft Guidance
Document for the California Consolidated Contingency Plan published by the Governor's
Office of Emergency Services and is modeled after the National Response Team's
Integrated Plan, the "One Plan."

SECTION II
I1.1 Discovery
Detection and Monitorinq Systems
Odor
The nature of ammonia is such that the presence of ammonia vapors would be detected
by smell at very Iow concentrations.
Sight
Potential ammonia release points can be detected by visual inspection of equipment to
identify discolorations, rust, holes or worn spots.
Ammonia Gas Sensors
Ammonia gas leaks are detected by Manning Systems Model 4485 Ammonia Gas
Cell/Transmitters located in the machine room, at the carbo cooler and in the ammonia
vent lines. These sensor units consist of an electrochemical sensor and an electronic
transmitter and have a detection range of 0-100 ppm ammonia.
03320012.001 11 I
Alarm Indicators
The alarm module is the top of three computer modules located in the computer control
panel. The top row of lights are inputs to the computer. The bottom row of lights represent
the outputs. The computer inputs must be "ON" (LED light ON). If the light goes out, it
signals an alarm condition.
Operating Thermostat
Operating thermostats are used in the glycol system and the tower water system. The
operating thermostat has four stages. Three stages are used to control the temperature.
Should the glycol or tower water temperature continue to increase beyond the third stage
of cooling by five degrees, the high temperature alarm signal will be sent to the computer
alarm module signaling a general refrigeration alarm.
Control Systems
System Restart
If there is a power failure, the system will not restart automatically. A trained operator must
restart the system. When the power is restarted, the alarm system will check all of the
alarm points. If there are any failures, the alarm horn and light will activate. The operator
can silence the alarm horn, but he cannot reset the alarm system until the cause of the
alarm is found and corrected. Once all of the alarms are cleared, the compressor can be
placed into operation.
03320012.001 12
Manual Isolation Valves
In the case of an earthquake there is a possibility that ammonia lines will break. Power
will likely be out which will close all automatic valves. Each vessel that contains ammonia
has manual isolation valves that can be turned off.
Machine Room Exhaust System
The machine room has a large two speed fan located on the roof. The fan is used to cool
the machine room in the summer and to vent the ammonia out of the machine room in the
event of a leak. The fan has a set of automatic dampers. If the fan is being used for
ammonia removal, the dampers direct the exhaust air into the cooling tower. This tower
acts as a scrubber, removing the ammonia from the air. This will happen under the
following conditions:
· There are two machine room emergency vent switches on the system. One in the
dump panel and one on the wall outside the machine room. Either switch will start
the fan and the damper, and sound an alarm.
· If the machine room ammonia sensors detect a leak, it will start the vent system and
sound the alarm.
Machine Room Vent System
The machine room vent system will still function if the emergency stop switch has been
used. The control panel is built in two sections. Each section has its own power supply.
03320012.001 13
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
contr°l 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.
Chi,er High Level Switch
The glycol chiller has an accumulator that discharges to the master accumulator. The
high level float 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.
03320012.001 14
Cooler Tower pH Alarm
The cooling tower will be used as an ammonia scrubber for the machine room ventilation
system. In the event of an emergency, ammonia will be scrubbed out of the air by the
cooling tower. This will in turn change the pH of the water in the cooling tower sump. A
pH alarm will detect any changes in the sump water and send a signal to the computer
alarm module, sounding a general computer alarm. At the same time, it will open a dump
solenoid allowing water to drain from the cooling tower to the sparge tank and freSh water
will be automatically added to the cooling tower. This will continue until the pH of the
tower water is back within predescribed limits.
Sparge Tank pH Alarm
In the event a relief valve is discharging ammonia into the sparge tank and there is a
failure of the ammonia vent alarm and the pH changes substantially in the sparge tank, a
signal is sent from the remote pH alarm module located at the tank to the computer alarm
module sounding a general alarm.

11.2 Environmental Response Actions
a. Internal and External Notification Procedures
Supervisors, upon notification of a hazardous condition, will use the paging system to
notify all employees to evacuate the facility. Each supervisor is to direct the employees
in his area to the safest exit and to ensure that area has been vacated by all personnel.
All employees will report to the designated evacuation area. A map of evacuation routes
is shown on the following page.
Pursuant to Section 25507 of Chapter 6.95, Article 1 of the H&SC, releases of hazardous
materials that may threaten human life, health and safety or the environment must be
reported. If an ammonia release exceeds 200 cubic feet during a 24-hour period, the
event is reportable and the following agencies must be notified immediately.

the qualified individual and Environmental Coordinator. The Environmental Coordinator
is responsible for all safety training of employees.
The Emergency Contact will be the Quality Assurance Supervisor, Gerhard Gaugel. Any
emergency incidents that occur at the facility will be the Emergency Contact's
responsibility.
All supervisors will be responsible for the safety of the employees in their section.
03320012.001 18
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 the receiver. A level control, controlled by a solenoid valve, allows ammonia
to flow from the receiver to the chiller and carbo cooler.
From the 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
Worst Case Scenario
The worst case scenario is given by USEPA guidance. The maximum amount of
anhydrous ammonia is assumed to be released in ten minutes. No mitigation measures
are considered to be in effect to slow or prevent the release of the entire amount of
ammonia in the system. The rapid release of liquid ammonia could form an air/ammonia
dispersion that would act as a cloud of dense gas.
The distance to the toxic endpoint is the distance this potential ammonia vapor cloud could
travel before dissipating to a point that serious injuries from short-term exposure will no
longer occur. Crystal Geyser Water Company systems have a maximum capacity of 4500
pounds of anhydrous ammonia.
The USEPA has published Risk Management Program Guidance for Ammonia
Refrigeration to assist facilities in RMP preparation. This guidance manual has a standard
table to be used for worst case scenarios and is based on the maximum amount of
anhydrous ammonia used in the process. Based on this USEPA-supplied table for worst
case scenarios, the worst case distance to the toxic endpoint is 0.9 miles.
A more detailed explanation of the worst case 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.

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 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 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)(Pg)~
where
QR = Release Rate (lbs per minute)
HA = Hole Area (square inches)
Pg = Gauge Pressure (psig)
Using the RMP Comp software provided by the EPA, the distance to the toxic endpoint is
estimated to be 0.2 miles.
There are no off-site environmental receptors for the alternate release scenario.
Residential population calculations are given in Section 111.3.d.
Public receptors include commercial, industrial, and residential receptors.
03320012.001 22
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.

d. Mitigation
General emergency response procedures are:
· Assess the situation.
· Isolate and deny entry to the affected area, and evacuate or shelter-in-place.
· Provide emergency medical assistance, if necessary.
· Notify response agencies and facility response personnel, as appropriate.
· Control the release, if possible.
· Actively mitigate the release, if properly trained and equipped.
· Provide assistance to public agency responders, as necessary.
· Terminate the response with proper clean-up and disposal.
· Follow-up reporting, evaluation, and critique, as required~
Incident Action Plan
The incident action plan will be implemented in the case of an emergency plant
evacuation. The following steps will be taken in emergency situations:
1. An announcement will be made over the paging system notifying employees of
facility evacuation.
2. All employees will report to the staging area on the east end of the property.
3. Employees certified on self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) will bring SCBA
equipment to the staging area.
4. Attendance will be taken by the Incident Commander or designee to account for
employees.
5. The Incident Commander or designee will make an overall assessment of the
incident.
03320012.001 24
6. Emergency response personnel such as the fire department, hazardous materials
team, medical units, and Office of Environmental Services will be notified
immediately by the Safety Coordinator or designee.
7. Incidents occurring during the night shift will be evaluated by lead persons and
general staff members. If necessary, emergency response personnel will be
notified followed by the Safety Coordinator and the Incident Commander.
8. The Incident Commander will initiate a search for employees not accounted for in
the attendance count..
9. Emergency response personnel will be assisted by SCB^-trained Crystal Geyser
personnel if needed.
10. A map of the plant will be maintained in SCB^ storage units to assist emergency
response personnel.
11. The Safety Coordinator will continue to monitor personnel safety.
Additional protection and mitigation procedures are included in Section 111.3.d, Planning.
03320012.001 25
11.3 Continuous Improvements
Measures to be taken during nonconformance conditions or prolonged incidents include:
· Stopping processes and operations.
· Collecting and containing released waste.
· Removing or isolating containers.
· Monitoring for leaks, pressure build-up, ruptures, etc.
· Arranging for repair or replacement of affected system areas.
This facility is closely monitored by the facility supervisors and other personnel. Crystal
Geyser Water Company is committed to providing a safe environment for its employees
and the surrounding area. Improvements are implemented when possible to support this
commitment. These improvements may include upgrading equipment maintenance
procedures, training requirements, operating procedures or system controls.
03320012.001 26
11.4 Retum to Compliance
A written follow-up report is required to be completed as soon as practicable, but no later
than 30 days following a release. The completed report is to be sent to the Office of
Emergency Services.
After an accident has occurred, an incident investigation will be initiated as soon as
possible but no later than 48 hours after the incident. An incident investigation team
consisting of at least one person knowledgeable in the process and any other persons with
appropriate knowledge and experience will analyze and investigate the incident. The
ammonia incident report on the following page will be completed. A post-accident review
will be held in which potential causes of the accident will be discussed.
When the cause of the accident has been determined, measures will be implemented to
minimize the possibility of recurrence. System design, operating and maintenance
procedures that need updating or alteration will be noted, and a time schedule set for
implementation of improvements. The Safety Coordinator will be responsible for ensuring
the completion of the above activities. All incident investigation reports will be retained for
5 years.
Training practices will be adjusted to ensure correct implementation of improvements.
New training practices will include refresher training to existing employees to ensure that
the employee understands and adheres to current operating procedures of the process.
New employees will be trained in general operating practices and job-specific practices
prior to operating the process.

EFFECTS OF A SINGLE (ACUTE) OVEREXPOSURE:
INHALATION-Overexposure to concentrations moderately above the Threshold Limit Value (TLV)
of 25 ppm may irritate the eyes, nose, and throat. Higher concentrations may cause breathing difficulty,
chest pain, bronchospasm, pink frothy sputum, and pulmonary edema. Overexposure may predispose to
acute bronchitis and pneumonia.
SKIN CONTACT-Liquid may cause moderate to severe redness, swelling, and ulceration &the skin,
depending on the degree and duration of contact. At high concentrations, gas may cause chemical
burns. Prolonged or widespread skin contact may result in the absorption of potentially harmful
amounts of material.
SWALLOWING-An unlikely route of exposure; this product is a gas at normal temperature and
pressure. But exposure, should it occur, may cause chemical burns of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and
stomach.
EYE CONTACT-Liquid may cause pain, severe redness, and swelling of the conjunetiva, damage to
the iris, corneal opacification, glaucoma, and cataracts. Gas may cause pain and excessive tearing with
acute corneal injury at high concentrations.
EFFECTS OF REPEATED (CHRONIC) OVEREXPOSURE: Chronic exposure may cause chemical
pneumonitis and kidney damage.
OTHER EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: None known.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE: Inhalation may aggravate
asthma and inflammatory or fibrotic pulmonary disease. Skin irritation may aggravate an existing
dermatitis.
SIGNIFICANT LABORATORY DATA WITH POSSIBLE RELEVANCE TO HUMAN HEALTH
HAZARD EVALUATION: None known.
CARCINOGENICITY: Ammonia, Anhydrous is not listed by NTP, OSHA, and IARC.
I 4. First Aid Meas, ures ,, , [
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. WARNING: Rescuer
may receive chemical burns from giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing is difficult,
qualified personnel may give oxygen. Keep patient warm. Call a physician.
SKIN CONTACT: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Discard clothing and shoes. Call a physician.
SWALLOWING: An unlikely route of exposure; this product is a gas at normal temperature and
pressure. Give a~ least two glasses of water or milk at once, Do no~ induce vomiting. Call a physician.
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes. Hold the eyelids
open and away from the eyeballs to ensure that all surfaces are flushed thoroughly. See a physician,
preferably an ophthalmologist, immediately.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: Victims of overexposure should be observed for at least 72 hours for delayed
edema.
The hazards of this material are mainly due to its severe irritant and corrosive properties on the skin and
mucosal surfaces. There is no specific antidote, and treatment should be directed at the control of

UNUSUAL .FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Forms explosive mixtures with air and oxidizing
agents. Heat of fn'e can build pressure in cylinder and cause it to rupture; no part of cylinder should be
subjected to a temperature higher than 125°F (52°C). Ammonia cylinders are equipped with a pressure
relief device. (Exceptions may exist where authorized by DOT--In this case, where the cylinders contain
less that 165 pounds of product.) If leaking or spilled product catches fire, do n°t extinguish flames.
Flammable and toxic vapors may spread from leak and could explode if reignited by sparks or flames.
Explosive atmospheres may linger. Before entering area, especially a confined area, check atmosphere with
an appropriate device. Reverse flow into cylinder may cause it to ruptUre. To protect persons from cylinder
fragments and toxic fumes-should a rupture occur, evacuate the area if the fire cannot be brought under
immediate control.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: See section 10.
] 6. Accidental Release Measures
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
DANGER! Toxic, corrosive, flammable liquefied gas under pressure (see section 3). Forms explosive
mixtures with air (see section 5). Keep personnel away. Before entering area, especially a confined area,
check atmosphere with an appropriate device. Use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective
clothing where needed. Remove all sources of ignition if without risk. Reduce vapors with fog or £me water
spray. Shut off flow if without risk. Ventilate area or move cylinder to a well-ventilated area. Contain spills
in protected areas; prevent runoff from exposing personnel ito liquid and vapors and contaminating the
surrounding environment.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Prevent waste from contaminating the surrounding environment. Keep
personnel away. Discard any product, residue, disposable container or liner in an environmentally
acceptable manner, in full compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. If necessary, call your local
supplier for assistance.
I 7. Handling and Storage
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN STORAGE: Store and use with adequate ventilation. Firmly
secure cylinders upright to keep them from falling or being knocked over. Screw valve protection cap firmly
in place by hand. Store only where temperature will not exceed 125°F (52°C). Store full and empty
Page 3 of 8
Product: Ammonia, Anhydrous Form No.: P-4562-E Date: October 1997
cylinders separately. Use a first-in, first-out inventory system to prevent storing full cylinders for long
periods.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING: Protect cylinders from damage. Use a suitable hand
truck to move cylinders; do not drag, roll, slide, or drop. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by its cap; the cap
is intended solely to protect the valve. Never insert an object (e.g., wrench, screwdriver, pry bar) into cap
openings; doing so may damage the valve and cause a leak. Use an adjustable strap wrench to remove
over-tight or rusted caps. Open valve slowly. If valve is hard to open, discontinue use and contact your
supplier. For other precautions in using ammonia, anhydrous, see section 16.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BAKERSFIELD, FACILITY
NORMAL OPERA~NG.!NSTRUCTIONS
In this facility the operator is the maintenance man as well as the operator. The
refrigeration machinery runs automatically. The normal operating procedure is to check
and log process pressures, temperatures liquid levels, lubrication, and pertinent changes
and data on all the refrigeration'machinery about two times in each eight hour working
day. He will check the items listed in this RMPP Book under Management Programs,
Section 3, Operators responsibilities and Section 5, Engineering Logs. He Is tO analyze
the machinery and logs. When they differ from design or established limits, he is to
determine the cause and make corrections immediately. He will also make the routine
checks and complete the required maintenance spelled out in Section 6, Preventative
Maintenance Procedures under Management Programs. He is to log all inspections,
findings, and maintenance performed either in the daily engine room log, or machinery
log book as he chooses.
~HUTDQWN OPERATING IN.STRI, ICTIONS
Under normal conditions, it is very safe to shut down the refrigeration machinery by
· la,
pushing the stop button e~ the ~h~'l~ard in the engineers office or fi..,r.e__rn_e~'s
emergency .'b~x. When it is pushed, all compressors and ammonia pumps stop, and the '~---~,
electric liquid ammonia feed king valve is de-energized and closes. All machinery'
remains in this state until the.. C, 6 i rD.. ,~,.¢ g~
In this stopped condition, the evaporator solenoids and fans remain energized and
operating. Ammonia cannot feed the evaporators because the king valve Is closed. '-~
. ~h-- hlnh HIe,',ho,',",=_.~____ _ h.-.,~a. ...... ~ ,~. The ammonia compressors and pumps have check
.valves In fine that don't allow the process fluid 'to flow backwards in the system. The
refrigeration process pressures usually equal out to ambient temperature pressures.
When you are to be off for an extended period of time a controlled shutdown is
best. !~ La a..~s follows:
1, Make a printout 'of all process set points and limit settings. The mi~::roprocessors
have a battery backup that lasts from two to four hours. If you are planning to shut off
the power for an extended period of time, you could loose these .settings. Jt makes it a
lot easier if you have this record when you start. ~,,~ ~.. ~ ~., ~ .
2. Shut off manual hot gas king valve ~, the re~f, and the liquid ammonia king
valve up stream of the electric solenoid king valve in the engine room. Allow time for
some ammonia in the evaporators, LP and HP pump receivers, and feed piping to boll
off and return to the receiver. Liquid ammonia in the pumped liquid recirculating circuit
to the evaporators tends to flow back and fill the Iow pressure receiver after
compressors and pump are stopped. This makes start-up difficult if liquid height in the
vessel is near the high level float cut out. If possible, let the system run until you see the
ammonia in the LP and HP pump receivers drop a few inches below the operating level,

START-UP Op,~NG INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure all el~tfi~l panel ~muit bmakem, and ~mpressor cir~it bmakem
are in ~e off position so you will not have a [a~e p~er surge when you cl~e the main
~er s~tch.
2. Close ~e main ~r swit~ ~th hand lever. It is spring loaded and bangs in

3. S~tch on all electH~l panels a[ their individual dmuit bmakem on the main
el~tH~l panel in the~ mom.
4. S~tch on ~mpmssor end any remaining cimuit breakers.
5. Check ~mpmssor m[cmpro~ssom. Make sum they are in the stop position.
Che~ ell microp~ssom to see that ~ey am up and running, and have retained their
pm~r set point.
NOTE: Scmw.~mpmssom have heatem in the oil sump, and the mi~p~ssors.
will not let the ~mpmssom stad until the oil ma~es the oil separator temperature lower
limit set ~tnL If the ~r has ~en off an e~end~ time, this may ~ke as long as
four to six houm.
6. S~ ~ndenser fans and pumps. ~en pumps am stopped, water that has
been entrained in the air flow, ove~ d~n the drain. Allow time for water sump to fill
before g~ng to the n~ step.
7. Sta~ high side ~m~essor in the unloaded position. Gradually I~d the
~mpressor manually, to bring the high side suction pressure down slo~y to around 25
to 30 psig. This sl~ d~o~ keeps ammonia, out in the s~tem, from ~iling t~
~olently. If dmw~n is too fas[, liquid ammonia in the HP pump r~iver ~uid expand
to the high float ~toff. ~en it roaches its' operating pressure, switch the load ~ntml
to remote or automatic.
Operating Instructions - Page 2
8. Open slowly the liquid ammonia hand king valve so as not to I~ammer the piping
with slugs of liquid ammonia. Opening this valve, sends liquid ammonia to the HP pump
rec.,civet, and the USDA room evaporator.
9. Start the HP liquid ammonia feed pump. This feeds liquid ammonia to the truck
and rail dock evaporators and to penthouse evaporators that are valved Io the 30 PSIG
cooler system.
10. Start the low side compressor in the manually unloaded position. Gradually
load the compressor manually, to bring the Iow side suction pressure down slowly to
around 2 psig. Watch to make sure that ammonia in the low pressure pump receiver
does not reach the high float a's you lower Ihe pressure, and in rum lower its' boiling
point. Also keep an eye on the high side compressor, that you don't load it too fast,
because the discharge gas from the low side compressor is going into the suction of the
high side compressor. When the Iow side suction pressure reaches its' operating
pressure, switch the load control to remote or automatic.
11. Open slowly the liquid ammonia hand valve feeding the LP pump receiver.
Opening this valve, sands liquid ammonia to the LP pump receiver.
12. Start the LP liquid ammonia feed pump. This feeds liquid ammonia to the
penlhouse evaporators valved to 2 PSIG freezer system.
~13. Start the fans on all the room evaporators. Turn them on slowly, one at a time,
so as not to add too much refrigeration load to the system all at once.
'14. Open the hot gas defrost king valve. Again, open it slowly.
15. Notify the monitoring alarm company that the system is back on the line.
.E, ME~ENCY .SHUTDOWN OPERATING IN$,TI~UC,TIONS
NOTE,. Fimt scenario: By emergency shutdown, we are assuming, the reason to
" do so would be an ammonia leak somewhere out in the warehouse. Our objective.
would be two fold. First, to stop ammonia flowing from the engine room, out into the
warehouse. Second, if possible, draw ammonia back into the engine room from the.
mom evaporators and refrigeration piping.
1. If you can locate and get to the leak, shut the liquid feed and hot gas valves
closest to the leak, upstream of the leak,
NOTE: If it is a large leak, and you can't get close to it;
2. Close the hand king valve in the engine room,
3. Shut off the liquid ammonia feed pumps.
4. Close all four ammonia feed pump discharge valves.
NOTE: if you do not close the standby pump discharge, ammonia could continue
to feed through the check valve.
5. Close the main hand hot gas valve,
NOTE: The HP and LP Pump Receivers have valves on the suction piping coming
from the rooms above the roof. Shut them after you pump the system down as much as
possible. If you stop the compressors before closing these valves, pressure will build in
these vessels, and ammonia will flow backwards into the room piping, toward the leak.
It is best to keep the compressors running to draw as much liquid ammonia back Into the
system. Lower the suction pressure to around 1 or 2 psig. That should greatly slow the
leak. Put on enough compressors to hold the suction at that pressure. Station someone
Operating instructions - Page 3
3E)'o'd /~J3~IO~l ~ci~0'E~£~08 6§ :Cil~ ~00~/;~0/~'E
in the engine room to watch and control this. Do not allow the suction pressure to go
into a vacuum. If it does, air could be drawn in through the leak. That air would
eventually get into the condensers and r.,ause high discharge pressure. The
compressors would then shut down on high discharge pressure, causing the suction
pressures to increase just when you were depending on them to hold the suction down.
6, Locate and isolate the leak
NOTE: Second S, cenar, l,o,: We would assume an emergency shut down tO be
needed because of a leak in the high side discharge piping. That could be from the high
side compressors discharge piprng, through the oil separators, through the condenser
on the roof, through the high pressure receiver, up to the king valve.
1. Push the refrigeration emergency stop button located in the engineers' office or
in the fireman's emergency box outside the building on the east wall.
NOTE: The compressors are the driving force to Increase the pressure in the
system described above. Pushing the stop button stops all compressors, closes the
liquid ammonia king valve from the receiver, and stops the liquid ammonia fccd pumps.
Stopping the compressors lowers the discharge pressure. You may want to turn
condenser fans on manual to lower the head pressure as much as possible.
2. Locate and isolate the leak.
OIL REMOyAL - .L .P,.~,Bd_HP PUMP RECEIVERS
NOTE: Under normal operating conditions, the valve on the bottom of the LP pump
receiver oil leg to the oil pot, and the oil pot vent valve from the top of the oil pot to the
top of the LP pump receiver, should be open. Under some conditions, if the oil pot vent
valve is wide open, you will get a circulating effect of the ammonia and oil. It is best to
keep this vent valve pinched down, to keep the .movement in the oil pot still and allow
the oil to settle out.
To remove oil from the Iow pressure pump receiver oil pot, to the central oil
removal pot:
1. Close the valve from the LP or HP pump receiver to the oil pot.
NOTE: Allow several hours, or wait over night for ammonia to separate out of the
oil through the vent line to the LP pump receiver. 2. Close the vent line valve.
NOTE: Pressure in the oil pot should build to around 60 psig pressure within
several hours. You will need pressurize the oil pot in order to have a difference in
pressure for o[I to move. Then, open the oil drain valve on the oil removal pot, and drain
the oil into a bucket for reclamation or disposal. Close the drain valve when all oil is
removed, and ammonia vapor comes from drain valve
DO NOT LEAVE THE .E_ _N_GI~.R. OOM UNTIL THE OIL DRAIN VALVE IS CLOSED
NOTE: Make sure you have the 10 or 15 pslg pressure on the otl removal pot
before you open the oil drain valve, and while your are draining oil. If the oil removal pot
were in a vacuum, you would draw air into the system.

Operating Instructions - Page 4
'1. Make sure suction valve from central oil removal vessel is open to the LP Pump
receiver.
2. Set suction' back pressure valve on oil removal pot to 10 or 15 psig. Make sure
it is not hand jacked open with boffom stem. With this valve in the automatic position,
the bottom stem is turned in clockwise all the way with just about t~A" of stem showing
below valve body.
3. Close Inlet valve from oll removal line on top of central oil removal vessel.
4. Make sure ali oil removal valves are closed on each thermosyphon oil cooler
and HP receiver.
5. Open the valve in the oil removal line from the vessel you want to drain oli from.
6. Crack open the valve of the oil removal line on top of the oil removal vessel, no
more than 1/4 or 1/2 turn.
NOTE: If you open this to much, liquid ammonia will blow right through the oil in
the bottom of the receiver or thermosyphon vessel. Now and then, oil clogs this valve
opening, so you will need to open it a turn or two just long enough to blow out oil clog,
then close it back down to a 114 or 1/2 turn.
7. When all oil is removed from the vessel, close the hand valve on the bottom of
the vessel you were draining from..
8. When line is pumped out, close the hand valve on top of the oil out pot.
9. To remove oil from central oil removal vessel, follow steps laid out in the section
called OIL REMOVAL. - LP AND HP PUMP RECEIVER.
EMERGENCY AIR PURGING
In an emergency situation, if you had a large volume of air in the condensers,
causing the discharge pressure to rise above safe operating limits, you would purge air
as follows:
1. Stop all the compressors, leave the condenser water pumps, and fans on. This
will cool and condense all the liquid ammonia, and separate the ammonia vapor and air.
With the loss of velOcity In the piping, due to stopping the compressors, the ail will
separate and rise to the top of the condensers.
2, After allowing time for cooling, you can {hen purge the air to the atmosphere, or
into a container of water, from the purge valves located on top of the condenser coil
headers.
ADDING_QIL TO COMP~ES.SORS - OPERATING INSTRUCTIQNS
SCREW COMPRESSORS.
NOTE: A level of oil is maintained in the discharge oil separator that operates at
compressor discharge pressure. It can be dangerous to pump oil in the fill valve of this
vessel against (~ompressor discharge pressure. I believe it is best to stop the
Operating Instructions - Page 5
compressor and pump the discharge oil separator down, then pump oil in. Because of the
large volume of gas that is contained in these vessels, it would be best to draw the gas
back into the system rather than drain it into a container of water. To accomplish this:
1. Stop compressor
2. Close discharge valve.
3. On second stage compressors close suction valve.
4. On second stage compressors open, pump out line.
5. On low stage compressors, open 3/8", bypass line mound suction check valve.
6. After oil separator vessel pressure drops to suction pressure, around 2 psig,
close the suction valve.
7. Close the bypass valve.
8. Pump in oil as needed.
Note: If you are going to replace the oil, it is easier and takes less time if you
drain the oil before you reduce the vessel pressure.
AMMONIA OFF-LOADING PROCEDURES
Note: Following our off-loading procedures are copies of Off-Loading Procedures for
driver/operators of Ammonia delivery trucks fi:om the two suppliers we usually
use. Coordinate our procedures with the driver/operators procedures.
Note: For emergency purposes have at hand and ready to use: Gloves, goggles,
faceshield, a full face gas mask with industrial size ammonia canister and a self
contained breathing apparatus.
1. Locate ammonia truck near ammonia charging station east of the engine room.
2. Make sure wheels are chocked.
3. Put barrier at the valve loading station with a sign reading "Danger"! "Stand clear,
ammonia loading in progress".
4. Driver will connect hose to the high-pressure receiver at the bottom of the oil drain
trap.
5. Note liquid level of receiver in the engine room.
6. After hose is connected and the bleeder valves are closed, make sure fill line valve is
open on the receiver in the engine room.
7. Make sure receiver line pump out valve is closed.
8. Slowly open fill line valve when driver/operator is ready.
Note: Coordinate with steps 2 through 5 of Hill Brothers procedures or steps 11 through
18 of LaRoche procedures.
Note: Read pressures at cargo tank and engine room receiver. If the differential pressure
between the track tank pressure and engine room receiver exceeds the limit of the
pumping system; the engine room operator must reduce the receiver tank pressure
to a suitable level. Maximum differential pressure should not exceed 125 PSIG.
Operating Instructions - Page 6
9. Keep constant check on ammonia receiver level. DO NOT OVER FILL SYSTEM. It
may be necessary to stop loading procedures for a few minutes to see where system
level stands.
10. When the ddve~?operator indicates the desired quantity of ammonia has been
received, close fill line valve outside the engine room.
11. Close fill line valve at the receiver.
12. Open pump out valve to the fill line to remove liquid ammonia. (you could pump out
truck hose if driver/operatOr so desired).
13. Close pump out valve.
11. Collect and return all protective equipment, signs, and barriers used in off-loading
procedures

Detection and Monitoring Systems
Odor
The nature of ammonia is such that the presence of ammonia vapors would be detected
by smell at very Iow concentrations.
03320012.001 46
W~I ~nC
Sight
Potential ammonia release points can be detected by visual inspection of equipment to
identify discolorations, rust, holes or worn spots,
Ammonia Gas Sensors
Ammonia gas leaks are detected by Manning Systems Model 4485 Ammonia Gas
Cell/Transmitters located in the machine room, at the carbo cooler and in the ammonia
vent lines. These sensor units consist of an electrochemical sensor and an electronic
transmitter and have a detection range of 0-100 ppm ammonia.
Alarm Indicators
The alarm module is the top of three computer modules located in 'the computer control
panel. The top row of lights are inputs to the computer. The bottom row of lights represent
the outputs. The computer inputs must be "ON" (LED light ON). If the light goes out, it
signals an alarm condition.
Operating Thermostat
Operating thermostats are used in the glycol system and the tower water system. The
operating thermostat has four stages. Three stages are used to control the temperature.
Should the glycol or tower water temperature continue to increase beyond the third stage
of cooling by five degrees, the high temperature alarm signal will be sent to the computer
alarm module signaling a general refrigeration alarm.
03320012.001 47
Control Systems
System Restart
If there is a power failure, the system will not restart automatically. A trained operator must
restart the system. When the power is restarted, the alarm system will check all of the
alarm points. If there are any failures, the alarm horn and light will activate. The operator
can silence the alarm horn, but he cannot reset the alarm system until the cause of the
alarm is found and corrected. Once all of the alarms are cleared, the compressor can be
placed into operation.
Manual Isolation Valves
In the case of an earthquake, there is a possibility that ammonia lines will break. Power
will likely be out which will close all automatic valves. Each vessel that contains ammonia
has manual isolation valves that can be turned off.
Machine Room Exhaust System
The machine room has a large two speed fan located on the roof. The fan is used to cool
the machine room in the summer and to vent the ammonia out of the machine room in the
event of a leak. The fan has a set of automatic dampers. If the fan is being used for
ammonia removal, the dampers direct the exhaust air into the cooling tower. This tower
acts as a scrubber, removing the ammonia from the air. This will happen under the
following conditions:
· There are two machine room emergency vent switches on the system. One in the
dump panel and one on the wall outside the machine room. Either switch will start
the fan and the damper, and sound an alarm.
0332_0012.001 48
· If the machine room ammonia sensors detect a leak, it will start the vent system and
sound the alarm.
Machine Room Vent System
The machine room vent system will still function if the emergency stop switch has been
used. The control panel is built in two sections. Each section has its own power supply.
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.
03320012.001 49
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 an accumulator, it is not
necessary to shut the system down at this time.
Cooler Tower pH Alarm
The cooling tower will be used as an ammonia scrubber for the machine room ventilation
system. In the event of an emergency, ammonia will be scrubbed out of the air by the
cooling tower. This will in turn change the pH of the water in the cooling tower sump. A
pH alarm will detect any changes in the sump water and send a signal to the computer
alarm module, sounding a general computer alarm. At the same time, it will open a dump
solenoid allowing water to drain from the cooling tower to the sparge tank and fresh water
will be automatically added to the cooling tower. This will continue until the pH of the
tower water is back within our predescribed limits.
Sparge Tank pH Alarm
In the event a relief valve is discharging ammonia into the sparge tank and there is a
failure of the ammonia vent alarm and the pH changes substantially in the sparge tank, a
signal is sent from the remote pH alarm module located at the tank to the computer alarm
module sounding a general alarm.
03320012.001 50
Incident Action Plan
The Quality Assurance Supervisor, Gerhard Gaugel, is the Emergency Contact and will
act as the Incident Commander. The Incident Commander will implement the incident
action plan in case of emergency.
The incident action plan will be implemented in the case of an emergency plant
evacuation. The following steps will be taken in emergency situations:
1. An announcement will be made over the paging system notifying employees of
facility evacuation.
2. All employees will report to the staging area on the east end of the property.
3. Employees certified on self-contained breathing apparatus will bring the SCB^
equipment to the staging area.
4. Attendance will be taken by the Incident Commander to account for employees.
5. The Incident Commander or designee will make an overall assessment of the
incident.
6. Emergency response personnel such as the fire department, hazardous materials
team, medical units, and Office of Environmental Services will be notified
immediately by the Safety Coordinator or designee.
7. Incidents occurring during the night shift will be evaluated by lead persons and
· general staff members. If necessary, emergency response personnel will be
notified followed by the Safety Coordinator and the Incident Commander.
8. The Incident Commander will initiate a search for employees not accounted for in
the attendance count.
9. Emergency response personnel will be assisted by SCBA-trained Crystal Geyser
personnel if needed.
03320012.001 51
10. A map of the plant will be maintained in SCBA storage units to assist emergency

d. Planning
Worst-Case Scenario
The worst-case scenario is defined as the release of the largest quantity of a regulated
substance from a single vessel or process line failure that results in the greatest distance
to an endpoint. The distance to the endpoint is the distance an ammonia vapor cloud will
travel before dissipating to a point that serious injuries from shod-term exposures will no
longer occur.
The worst-case scenario is assumed to be an unmitigated release occurring over a period' '
of ten minutes. Suggested parameters provided in EPA guidance documents for modeling
worst-case releases assumes wind speed to be 1.5 meters per second, a wind stability
class of F, and a ground level release. Surface roughness is classified as either urban,
obstructed terrain, or rural, fiat terrain. This facility is considered urban due to its location
within the City of Bakersfield. The release rate is calculated by dividing the total amount
of the hazardous substance by ten minutes.
Using the maximum amount of ammonia held on-site and dividing it by an assumed
release period of ten minutes results in a release rate of:
4500 lbs / 10 minute release = 450 lbs/minute
Using the EPA-supplied table for worst-case scenarios, the toxic endpoint distance is 0.9
miles.
To estimate the population present within the endpoint circle, census data for six census
tracts was obtained from the Kern Council of Governments. The census data is based on
the 1990 census data and has been updated to 1998 using a shared allocation method.
03320012.001 54
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 worst
case release 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 57
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 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 ammonia receiver contain liquid ammonia.
A break in this two inch liquid ammonia line could release all of the ammonia in the
receiver. 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 ammonia receiver contains 4500 pounds of ammonia which would release to the
compressor room leading to outside air, immediately affecting the surrounding area. The
release rate would be 2040 pounds per minute and last 2.21 minutes to release the entire
4500 pounds of ammonia. This scenario satisfies the requirements for the alternative
release scenario analysis under Title 19 Section 2750.4.
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.
Using the RMP Comp software provided by the EPA, the distance to the toxic endpoint is
an estimated 0.2 miles.
There are no off-site environmental receptors for the alternate release scenario.
Public receptors include commercial, industrial, and residential receptors.

Re: Ammont~ Leak of 4/02/~2
Dear Tim:
The source of the ammonia leak on 4/2/02 was determined to have originated from the
evaporative cooling tower that was in the process of being serviced to repair a safety relief valve.
The outside contractor, James Bm'tell and Associates, was removing ammonia vapor (20 psi) from
the condensed liquid line when the gaseous odor was noticed.
The liquid ammonia was previously evacuated from the same line back into tho ammonia
compressors, but ammonia vapor remained in file isolated evaporative c.~ling system. The
contracting personnel proceeded to vent the 20 psi ammonia vapor into a 55 gallon drum of water
and were adding additional water with a hose to dilute the ammonia odor.
As the drum of water and ammonia vapor overflowed the liquid mixture flowed to the roof drain.
The contractor's employee was not aware that the roof drain flowed directly to the street curb
and down the storm drain.
As soon as we were informed by yourself and our office staff, we investigated the situation and
asked the contractor to immediately stop the procedure and inform his supervisor of the problem.
A decision was made to run an extra hose from vapor line being evacuated to the ammonia
compressor room, The hose was attached.to the suction side of the compressor and the line tlmt
contained the vapor was sucked empty after a few hours.
The line with ammonia vapor contained approximalely 1 ~ psi of vapor when the water and vapor
mixing was halted, 5 psi of vapor pressure was dumped to the roof and eventually to the street
curb drain. Normally, the water mad vapor mixing is performed to remove the remaining vapor. It
saves time and cost. Unfortunately, the contractor did not take into account the location of our
facility and proximity to housing and pedestrians. The ammonia vapor can be very irritating to all
individuals not previously exposed to such an odor.
In the future, we will require that the ammonia compressors be totally evacuated of ammmtla and
vapor; which require a facility shutdown or we must use the compressors to remove the remaining
vapor. These will be added to our standard operating procedures.
