Describe the accident release prevention and emergenCY policies It is the intent of Ice Cream Partners USA to provide a safe work environment for every employee and to protect them from injury and illness resulting from unsafe acts or conditions during hours of employment. Ice Cream Partners will also comply with all federal, state, and local laws. The plant manager has the responsibility for leadership of the safety and health program, for its effectiveness and improvement, and for providing the safeguards required to ensure safe conditions. Ammonia safety programs are key components in the plant safety and health program. Ice cream Partners exemises many precautions to prevent or minimize accidental releases of ammonia. These precautions include safety controls (alarms and automatic shutdown devices) which are designed to identify and prevent potentially unsafe conditions like pressure increases that could cause a system failure, a preventive maintenance program designed to maintain the on-going integrity of the system, a training program designed to ensure that the system is operated by qualified personnel, and emergency response procedures which enable trained personnel to respond quickly to upSets in the system. The PSM/RMP Coordinator is responsible for the management of the ammonia safety programs. B. Stationary source and regulated substances Handled Ice Cream Partners Bakersfield Plant produces ice-cream products for sale to the public. The facility operates an ammonia refrigeration system to freeze ice-cream products and also to operate the plant air-conditioning. The maximum ammonia inventory at the plant is approximately 101,000 pounds. Ammonia is the only regulated substance handled at the Bakersfield plant. c. Summary of Worst-case and Alternative release scenarios The Worst-Case toxic release scenario at the Bakersfield Plant involves the release of 34,276 pounds of ammonia over a 35 minute period due to the failure of the High Pressure Receiver (HPR), The HPR receiver has the capacity to contain a maximum ammonia inventory of 48,967 pounds at 100%. But because of written administrative procedures and mechanical controls in place at the plant to limit the amount of.ammonia stored in the High Pressure Receiver to 70% (34,276 pounds) or less. The release rate also assumes that the enclosed engine room would limit the amount released to the atmosphere. Under worst-case conditions, the resulting vapor cloud could have off-site impacts. ~ The Alternative toxic release scenario at the Bakersfield Plant involves the release of 18,649 pounds of ammonia over 11 minutes due to a pressure relief valve opening. The release duration was assumed to be limited by the response of the Utility Mechanics to the ammonia detector in this line and access platforms to the dual pressure relief valve. Under alternative release conditions, the resulting vapor cloud could have off-site impacts. The Worst-Case and alternative toxic release scenarios are unlikely for the following reasons: 1) Industry standards are followed for the design and manufacture of the equipment in the ammonia refrigeration system. 2) The ammonia receivers are well protected from vehicular traffic. 3) Pressure safety valves on the ammonia receivers should limit any pressure increases inside the receivers. 4) Ammonia detectors should readily detect releases from the pressure relief valves on the ammonia receivers. 5) Ammonia is not corrosive in this service. 6) The facility has a preventive maintenance program in place to maintain the on-going integrity of the ammonia refrigeration equipment. 7) The Facility has a training program designed to ensure that qualified personnel operate the system. 9/13/00 6:20:19 AM Page 10 of 11 8) The facility has emergency response procedures that enable trained personnel to respond quickly to isolate any potential releases. D. Description of.the Accidental Release Prevention program The facility has a program level 3 accident release prevention program for the ammonia system that complies with OSHA's Process Safety Management standard and EPA's Risk Management Program Regulation. The ammonia prevention program consists of the follow elements: 1) Employee Participation Program 2) Process Safety Information 3) Process Hazard Analysis 4) Operating Procedures 5) Training Program 6) Contractor Safety Program 7) Pre-Startup Safety Review Procedures 8) Mechanical Integrity Program 9) Hot Work Permit Procedures 10) Management of Change procedures 11) Incident Investigation Procedures 12) Compliance Audit Procedures E. Five Year Accident History One ammonia-related incident was identified for the Bakersfield Plant during the previous five years that resulted in significant on-site consequences. Tl~e amount released was eleven (11) pounds of ammonia. The on- site Injury had no offsite consequences. Upgraded oil removing equipment with new process controls were implemented as a result of this accident. F. Description of the Emergency Response Program An Emergency response program is in place at the Bakersfield Plant. This program contains procedUres describing how the facility will respond to rites, ammonia leaks and other emergencies, including evacuation procedures. The Emergency response program includes the following elements: 1) Fire Plan 2) Ammonia Leak Procedures 3) Evacuation Procedures 4) Responsibilities of the Emergency Response team **The above Program has been coordinated with the Bakersfield fire Department. G. Planned Changes to Improve Safety to the ammonia refrigeration system 1) Y2K compliant action plan addressed problems and items to be replaced. Replacement of items will be completed before 12/31/1999. 2) Seismic action plan is in place. Proposals for a Seismic Analysis are pending at this time. Once Seismic items are addressed they will be evaluated and implemented as required. 3) Pipe insulation action plan is in place. Three-year replacement plan was established; in year 2 of the plan at this time. 4) Install ammonia to air treatment system for emergency exhaust fans and safety relief valve header.

Describe the accident release prevention and emergency.policies It is the intent of Nestle to provide a safe work environment for every employee and to protect them from injury and illness resulting from unsafe acts or conditions during hours of employment. Nestle will also comply with all federal, state, and local laws. The plant manager has the responsibility for leadership of the safety and health program, for its effectiveness and improvement, and for providing the safeguards required to ensure safe conditions. Ammonia safety programs are key components in the plant safety and health program. Nestles exercises many precautions to prevent or minimize accidental releases of ammonia. These precautions include safety controls (alarms and automatic shutdown devices) which are designed to identify and prevent potentially unsafe conditions like pressure increases that could cause a system failure, a preventive maintenance program designed to maintain the on-going integrity of the system, a training program designed to ensure that the system is operated by qualified personnel, and emergency response procedures which enable trained personnel to respond quickly to upsets in the system. The PSM/RMP Coordinator is responsible for the management of the ammonia safety programs. B. Stationary source and regulated substances Handled Nestle Bakersfield Plant produces ice-cream products for sale to the public. The facility operates an ammonia refrigeration system to freeze ice-cream products and also to operate the plant air-conditioning. The maximum ammonia inventory at the plant is approximately 101,000 pounds. Ammonia is the only regulated substance handled at the Bakersfield plant. c. Summary of Worst-case and Alternative release scenarios The Worst-Case toxic release scenario at the Bakersfield Plant involves the release of 34,276 pounds of ammonia over a 35 minute period due to the failure of the High Pressure Receiver (HPR), The HPR receiver has the capacity to contain a maximum ammonia inventory of 48,967 pounds at 100%. But because of written administrative procedures and mechanical controls in place at the plant to limit the amount of ammonia stored in the High Pressure Receiver to 70% (34,276 pounds) or less. The release rate also assumes that the enclosed engine room would limit the amount released to the atmosphere. Under worst-case conditions, the resulting vapor cloud could have off-site impacts. The Alternative toxic release scenario at the Bakersfield Plant involves the release of 18,649 pounds of ammonia over 11 minutes due to a pressure relief valve opening. The release duration was assumed to be limited by the response of the Utility Mechanics to the ammonia detector in this line and access platforms to the dual pressure relief valve. Under alternative release conditions, the resulting vapor cloud could have off-site impacts. The Worst-Case and alternative toxic release scenarios are unlikely for the following reasons: 1).Industry standards are followed for the design and manufacture of the equipment in the ammonia refrigeration system. 2) The ammonia receivers are well protected from vehicular traffic. 3) Pressure safety valves on the ammonia receivers should limit any pressure increases inside the receivers. 4) Ammonia detectors should readily detect releases from the pressure relief valves on the ammonia receivers. 5) Ammonia is not corrosive in this service. 6) The facility has a preventive maintenance program in place to maintain the on-going integrity of the ammonia refrigeration equipment. 7) The Facility has a training program designed to ensure that qualified personnel operate the system. 8) The facility has emergency response procedures that enable trained personnel to respond quickly to isolate anY potential releases. 6/15/99 11:19:04AM Page 10 of 11 D. Description of the Accidental Release Prevention program · The facility has a program level 3 accident release prevention program for the ammonia system that complies with OSHA's Process Safety Management standard and EPA's Risk Management Program Regulation. The ammonia prevention program consists of the follow elements: 1) Employee Participation Program 2) Process Safety Information 3) Process Hazard Analysis 4) Operating Procedures 5) Training Program 6) Contractor Safety Program 7) Pre-Startup Safety Review Procedures 8) Mechanical Integrity Program 9) Hot Work Permit Procedures 10) Management of Change procedures 11) Incident Investigation Procedures 12) Compliance Audit Procedures E. Five Year Accident History One ammonia-related incident was identified for the Bakersfield Plant during the previous five years that resulted in significant on-site consequences. The amount released was eleven (11) pounds of ammonia. The on-site Injury had no offsite consequences. Upgraded oil removing equipment with new process controls were implemented as a result of. this accident. F. Description of the Emergency Response Program An Emergency response program is in place at the Bakersfield Plant. This program contains procedures describing how the facility will respond to fires, ammonia leaks and other emergencies, including evacuation procedures. The Emergency response program includes the following elements: 1) Fire Plan 2) AmmoniaLeak Procedures 3) Evacuation Procedures 4) Responsibilities of the Emergency Response team **The above Program has been coordinated with the Bakersfield fire Department. G. Planned Changes to Improve Safety to the ammonia refrigeration system 1) Y2K compliant action plan addressed problems and items to be replaced. Replacement of items will be completed before 12/31/1999. 2) Seismic action plan is in place. Proposals for a Seismic Analysis are pending at this time. Once Seismic items are addressed they will be evaluated and implemented as required. 3) Pipe insulation action plan is in place. Three-year replacement plan was established; in year 2 of the plan at this time. 4) ,Install ammonia to air treatment system for emergency exhaust fans and safety relief valve header.

The following activities have taken place since our last communications: Ammonia Exhaust System - The automated air scrubbing system for the Ammonia Accumulator Room is complete and has been successfully tested. The automated air scrubbing system for the Ammonia Compressor Room has been tested, but still needs some more modifications before it is fully operational. Once we get both systems operating to design, we will have them certified by an out side consultant. Once certified, the programming will be "pass code" protected to lock the system in place. We are scheduled to have both systems complete and certified within the next two months. Scrubber Water Automatic Dump System - The pH meter and automatic dump valve, has been install and tested. This system is tally tunctional. Flare Header System - The Flare Header System has been extended to include the Raw Receiving tanks (8 Tanks) and the Emergency Ammonia Dump Tank relief valves. Also, the existing flare header branch to the Ammonia Accumulator Room has been increased in size from a 4" line to 6" line to assure ample capacity in the event of simultaneous multiple relief valve discharges from all four tank in the room. Both of these flare header changes are complete and fully functional. If you have any qUestions or comments please feel free to call. Sincerely, Norma~ Engineering Manager Winston H. Hickox .

June 6, 2002 (#69604~) .~ ~ Cause and Effect of Ammonia Vapor Detection in Machinery Spaces Revised 5/28/02 Prepared for: Ice Cream Partners 7301 District Boulevard Bakersfield, CA 93313 Prepared by: The Stellar Group 2900 Harfley Road Jacksonville, FL 32257 Cause and effect of Ammonia Vapor Detection Scope of Document The intent of this document is to define the cause and effect of action to be taken when detecting refrigerant at various ppm levels within the confines of a Refrigeration Machinery Room. These recommendations are in accordance with the 1998 California Mechanical Code and the 1997 Uniform Fire Code, which the City of Bakersfield has adopted and declared to be the code for the city. The State of California has recently adopted the 2000 Uniform Fire code and it was considered in anticipation of its adoption by the City of Bakersfield. II. Definitions and assumptions A. Definitions (from 1998 California Mechanical Code unless stated otherwise) 1. PEL (Permissible Exposure Limit) is the maximum permitted eight-hour time-weighted average concentration of an airborne contaminant. The maximum permitted time- weighted average exposures to be utilized are those published~in 29 C.F.R. 1910.1000. 2. Refrigerant Safety Classifications: are groupings that indicate the toxicity and flammability classes in accordance with Section 1102. 3. IDLH (immediately dangerous to life and health) is a concentration of airborne contaminates, normally expressed in parts per million (ppm) or milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3), which represents the maximum level from which one could escape within 30 minutes without any escape-impairing symptoms or irreversible health effects. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) establishes this level. 4. LFL (lower flammability limit) is the minimum concentration of a combustible substance that is capable of propagating a flame through a homogeneous mixture of the combustible and a gaseous oxidizer under the specified condition of test. The LFL is sometimes referred to as LEL (lower Oe limit); for the purpose of this definition, LFL and LEL are identical. 5. Machinery is the refrigeration equipment forming a part of the refrigeration system, including, but not limited to, a compressor, a condenser, a liquid receiver, an evaporator and connecting piping. 6. Refrigeration Machinery Room is a space that is designed to safely house compressors and pressure vessels. 71 Pressure Vessel is a closed container, having a nominal internal diameter exceeding 6 inches (153 mm) an a volume exceeding 1 ¥2 cubic feet (42 L), for liquids, gasses, or vapors subjected pressures exceeding 15 psi (103 kPa). 8. Stop Valve is a device to shut off the flow of refrigerant. Assumptions For the purpose of this document the following properties for ammonia will be used as published in the 1998 California Mechanical Code Table 1 I-A. The limits defined here are the maximum allowable, lower limits as suggested by Jeff Arita can be substituted at your discretion. 1. Safety Group = B1 2. PEL=25 ppm 3. IDLH = 500 ppm 4. LFL = 15.5% by volume, therefore 25% LFL = 38,750 ppm 2 of 4 07/23/02 Cause and effect of Ammonia Vapor Detection III. Cause and Effect Ammonia Machinery Room Detection Level (cause) Resultant Actions (effect) 25 ppm Audible and Visual (A/V) ammonia alarms actuated Either ppm detector at 25ppm At this detection level the following will occur: ....... VV ........... ~ 35 1. Activate an approved audible signaling device capable of pp,,-n generating a sound pressure level at least 15dB above ambient along with a visual alarm. The audible alarm can be silenced after the ammonia alarm has been acknowledged. The visual alarm shall remain active until the ammonia alarm is reset manually (both detectors below 15 ppm). 2. The ammonia detection system will transmit a 25 ppm ammonia alarm to the plant alarm system and to the local HMI, which will activate the utility personnel paging system. 3. All non-essential personnel shall evacuate the machine space. ............................... e, .... pro;':~:.vn~ ,vf Article ~ ~n-~ n ~v 150 ppm Emergency purge fans activated either detector > 150 ppm At this detection level the following will occur: 1. Activate the audible signaling device (a second time if previously activated at 25 ppm). The audible alarm can be silenced after the ammonia alarm has been acknowledged. The visual alarm shall remain active until the ammonia alarm is reset manually (both detectors below 15 ppm). 2. Emergency purge ventilation fans shall be automatically activated. The fans intended for this purpose shall meet the requirements for a Class I, Division I hazardous location and shall be equipped with an' airflow sensing sWitch that will control flow/no-flow indicating lamps. Condenser spray pumps are interlocked to this system. The ventilation shall' be manual reset only when all detectors are below 150 ppm. 3. The ammonia detection system shall transmit a second alarm to the plant alarm system'and the local HMI to indicate the 150 ppm level. A second alarm will be sent to utility personnel paging system. 3 Of 4 07/23/02 Cause and effect of Ammonia Vapor Detection >10,000 ppm One LEL sensor >10,000 ppm Two LEL sensors > 10,000 ppm or one LEL and two ppm sensors in alarm mode or failure mode. Emergency shutoff of electrical equipment At this detection level the ammonia detection system shall transmit a 10,000 ppm alarm to the local HMI which will activate the utility personnel paging system. At this detection level the following will occur: 1. All electrical power, which does not conform to Class I, Division I, Group D requirements shall be automatically de-energized within the machinery space. Emergency fans, emergency lighting and fire and ammonia detection systems must conform and remain energized. If not connected to the emergency power system the ammonia detection system must have a secondary power supply. 2. The ammonia detection system shall transmit a 10,000 ppm\Shut Down alarm to the plant alarm 'system and the local fire department should be notified. 3. Consider evacuation of all non-essential personnel in facility. Notes on system design: 1. The ppm alarm transmission to the plant alarm system shall be supervisory only. 2. The water pumps to the condenser shall run in the manual mode all the time. 3. The ammonia system controls and the'ammonia detection system will have UPS backup. The UPS system shall be feed by a circulate that can be readily switched over to backup power (2.0KVA generator). 4. The LEL sensor/shutdown control system shall have a maintenance mode to prevent false shutdowns during Preventive Maintenance. 5. Flow switches will be installed to the four emergency exhaust fans. 6. Acknowledgment switch will be located in the Room being monitored. The switch must be used for all PEL alarms. Alarms of 150 PPM of more can be acknowledged either by the acknowledgment switch or electronically. 7. An alarm mus~e acknowledged before it can be silenced. All alarms can be silenced electronically. Rooms being monitored will have bothaudible and visual alarms. All entrances to rooms being monitored will have visual alarms only. A fire alarm pull station will be installed in the guard station to facilitate an evacuation at the Indent Commandeffs discretion. 11. Stellars' recommendation (Item 4) under "Resultant Actions (effect)" column at the 25 ppM level to "automatically control one exhaust fan for intermittent operation between 50 and 35 ppm" is not necessary. Both rooms currently have continuous mid-levi~l exhaust in operation. 12. To limit~alarms, the 25 PPM alarm shall be activated when any 90 seconds average of the PPM meter reading equals or exceeds 25 PPM. This running 90 second average will the average of data 90 points taken one ever second. That is, when one data point is taken, the oldest data point will be dropped off of the average. This averaging system will limit our exposure to spikes and or faults alarms. 9. 10. 4 of 4 07/23/02 B FIRE R D r NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release Contact: Howard Wines (661) 326-3649 BAKERSFIELD FIRE DEPARTMENT PRESENTS POLLUTION PREVENTION AWARD Bakersfield, CA - September 24, 2002 - Today, the Bakersfield Fire Department's Environmental Services Division presented the second annual Pollution Prevention Award to Nestl6 Ice Cream Company.

The' Nestl6 plant has been able to decrease ammonia emissions into the atmosphere through the revision of cleaning procedures accompanied by the installation of ammonia leak detectors and rupture disk indicators located on the safety relief valves. Ammonia is the refrigerant used to freeze the ice cream products as they're being made. In addition, Nestl~ has diverted almost 5 million pounds of solid wastes, such as paper and plastic, which were taken to reuse and recycling facilities rather than to a landfill. NestWs Bakersfield facility is the largest ice cream factory in the world.

Svcs. Pink - Business Copy Cause and Effect of Ammonia Vapor Detection in Machinery Spaces Revised 6/10/02 Prepared for: Ice Cream Partners 7301 District Boulevard Bakersfield, CA. 93313 Prepared by: .The Stellar'Group - 2900 Hartley Road Jacksonville, FL 32257 Cause and effect of Ammo~apor Detection II. Scope of Document The intent of this document is to define the cause and effect of action to be taken when detecting refrigerant at various ppm levels within the confines of a Refrigeration Machinery Room. These recommendations are in accordance with the 1998 California Mechanical Code and the 1997 Uniform Fire Code, which the City of Bakersfield has adopted and declared to be the code for the city. The State of California has recently adopted the 2000 Uniform Fire Code and it was considered in anticipation of its adoption by the City of Bakersfield. Definitions and assumptions A. Definitions (from 1998 California Mechanical Code unless stated otherwise) 1. PEL (Permissible Exposure Limit) is the maximum permitted eight-hour time-weighted average concentration of an airborne contaminant. The maximum permitted time- weighted average exposures to be utilized are those published in 29 C.F.R. 1910.1000. 2. Refrigerant Safety Classifications: are groupings that indicate the toxicity and flammability classes in accordance with Section 1102. 3. IDLH (immediately dangerous to life and health) is a concentration of airborne contaminates, normally expressed in parts per million (ppm) or milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3), which represents the maximum level from which one could e~scape within 30 minutes without any escape-impairing symptoms or irreversible health effects. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) establishes this level. 4. LFL (lower flammability limit) is the minimum concentration of a combustible substance that is capable of propagating a flame through a homogeneous mixture of the combustible and a gaseous oxidizer under the specified condition of test. The LFL is sometimes referred to as LEL (lower exposure limit); for the purpose of this definition, LFL and LEL are identical. 5. Machinery is the refrigeration equipment forming a part of the refrigeration system, including, but not limited to, a compressor, a condenser, a liquid receiver, an evaporator and connecting piping. 6. Refrigeration Machinery Room is a space that is designed to safely house compressors and pressure vessels. 7. Pressure Vessel is a closed container, having a nominal internal diameter exceeding 6 inches (153 mm) an a volume exceeding 1 ½ cubic feet (42 L), for liquids, gasses, or vapors subjected pressures exceeding 15 psi (103 kPa). 8. Stop Valve is a device to shut off the flow of refrigerant. Assumptions For the purpose of this document Appendix A will be used as the guideline for establishing the threshold limits with the exception of the PEL level. The Bakersfield fire department requires a PEL level of 25 ppm in lieu of 50 ppm. 2 of 6 07/12/02 i Cause and effect of AmmonOapor Detection III. Cause and Effect Ammonia Machinery Room Detection Level (cause) Resultant Actions (effect) 25 ppm Audible and Visual (A/V) ammonia alarms actuated Either ppm detector with a 90 At this detection level the following will occur: second average of 25ppm (as 1. Activate an approved audible signaling device capable of calculated in Note # 11 generating a sound pressure level at least 15dB above ambient below) and/or any along with a visual alarm. The audible alarm can be silenced instantaneous reading of any after the ammonia alarm has been acknowledged. 'The visual sensor above 50 ppm. alarm shall remain active until the ammonia alarm is reset manually (both detectors below 15 ppm). 2. The ammonia detection system will transmit a 25 ppm ammonia '~ alarm to the plant alarm system and to the local HMI, which will activate the utility personnel paging system. 3. All personnel shall evacuate the machine SliCe except trained and equipped first responders. (oJot,4qa.~) 150 ppm Emergency purge fans activated either detector > 150 ppm At this detection level the following will occur: 1. Activate the audible signaling device (a second time if previously activated at 25 ppm). The audible alarm can be silenced after the ammonia alarm has been acknowledged. The visual alarm shall remain active until the ammonia alarm is reset manually (both. detectors below 15 ppm). 2. Emergency purge ventilation fans shall be automatically activated. The fans intended for this purpose shall meet the requirements for a Class I, Division I hazardous location and shall be equipped with an airflow sensing switch that will control flow/no-flow indicating lamps. Condenser spray pumps are interlocked to this system. The ventilation shall be manual reset only when all detectors are below 150 ppm. 3. The ammonia detection system Shall transmit a second alarm to the plant alarm system and the local HMI to indicate the 150 ppm level. A second alarm will be sent to utility personnel paging system. 3 of 6 07/12/02 Cause and effect of Ammon~apor Detection >10,000 ppm One LEL sensor >10,000 ppm Two LEL sensors > 10,000 ppm or one LEL and two ppm sensors in alarm mode or failure mode. Emergency shutoff of electrical equipment At this detection level the ammonia detection system shall transmit a 10,000 ppm alarm to the local HMI which will activate the utility personnel paging system. At this detection level the following will occur: 1.. All electrical power, which does not conform to Class I, Division I, Group D requirements shall be automatically de-energized within the machinery space. Emergency fans, emergency lighting and fire and ammonia detection systems, must conform' and remain energized. If not connected to the emergency power system the ammonia detection system must have a secondary power supply. 2. The ammonia detection system shall transmit a 10,000 ppm\Shut Down alarm to the plant alarm system and the local lure department should be notified. 3. Consider evacuation of all non-essential personnel in facility. Notes on system design: 1. The ppm alarm transmission to the plant alarm system shall be supervisory only. 2. The water pumps to the condenser shall mn in the manual mode all the time. 3. The ammonia system controls and the ammonia detection system will have UPS backup. The LIPS system shall be feed by a circulate that can be readily switched over to backup power (2.0KVA generator). 4. The LEL sensor/shutdown control system shall have a maintenance mode to prevent false ,~ shutdowns during Preventive Maintenance. 5. Flow switches will be installed to the four emergency exhaust fans. 6. Acknowledgment switch will be located in the RoOm being monitored. The switch must be used for all PEL alarms. Alarms of 150 PPM of more can be acknowledged either by the acknowledgment switch or electronically. 7. An alarm must me acknowledged before it can be silenced. All alarms can be silenced electronically. Rooms being monitored will have both audible and visual alarms. All entrances to rooms being monitored will have visual alarms only. A fire alarm pull station will be installed in the guard station to facilitate an evacuation at the Indent Commander's discretion. 11. Stellars' recommendation (Item 4) under "Resultant Actions (effect)" column at the 25 PPM level to "automatically control one exhaust fan for intermittent operation between 50 and 35 ppm" is not necessary. Both rooms currently have continuous mid-level exhaust in operation. To limit fault alarms, the 25 PPM alarm shall be activated when any 90 seconds average of the PPM meter reading equals or exceeds 25 PPM AND/OR any instantaneous reading of any sensor above 50 ppm. This running 90 second average will be the average of 90 data points taken one ever second. That is, when one data point is taken, the oldest data point will be dropped off of the average. This averaging system will limit our exposure to spikes and or faults alarms. 9. 4 of 6 07/12/02 Cause and effect of Ammonia Vapor Detection APPENDIX A NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards x//www.cdc.

Other (Specify): Executive Summary A. Describe the accident release prevention and emergency policies It is the intent of Nestle ice cream Company to provide a safe work environment for every employee and to protect them from injury and illness resulting from unsafe acts or conditions.during hours of employment. Nestle Ice Cream Company will also comply with all federal, state, and local laws. The plant manager has the responsibility for leadership of the safety and health program, for its effectiveness and improvement, and for providing the safeguards required to ensure safe conditions. Ammonia safety programs are.key components in the plant safety and health program. Nestel Ice cream Company exercises many precautions to prevent or minimize accidental releases of ammonia. These precautions include safety controls (alarms and automatic shutdown devices) which are designed to identify and prevent potentially unsafe conditions like pressure increases that could cause a system failure, a preventive maintenance program designed to maintain the on-going integrity of the system, a training program designed to ensure that the system is operated by qualified personnel, and emergency response procedures which enable trained personnel to respond quickly to upsets in the system. The PSM/RMP Coordinator is responsible for the management of the ammonia safety programs. Stationary source and regulated substances Handled Nestle Ice Cream Compahy Bakersfield Plant produces ice-cream products for sale to the public. The facility operates an ammonia refrigeration system to freeze ice-cream products and also to operate the plant air-conditioning. The maximum ammonia inventory at the plant is approximately 101,000 pounds. Ammonia is the only regulated substance handled at the Bakersfield plant. c. Summary of Worst-case and Alternative release scenarios The Worst-Case toxic release scenario at the Bakersfield Plant involves the release of 34,276 pounds ~)f ammonia over a 35 minute period due to the failure of the High Pressure Receiver (HPR), The HPR receiver has the capacity to contain a maximum ammonia inventory of 48,967 Pounds at 100%. But because of written administrative procedures,and mechanical controls in place at the plant to limit the amount of ammonia stored in the High Pressure Receiver to 70% (34,276 pounds) or less. The release rate also assumes that the enclosed engine room would limit the amount released to the atmosphere. Under worst-case conditions, the resulting vapor cloud could have off-site impacts. The Alternative toxic release scenario at the Bakersfield Plant involves the release of 18,649 pounds of ammonia over 11 minutes due to a pressure relief valve opening. The release duration was assumed to be limited by the response of the Utility Mechanics to the ammonia detector in this line and access platforms to the dual pressure relief valve. Under alternative release conditions, the resulting vapor cloud could have off-site impacts. The Worst-Case and alternative toxic release scenarios are unlikely for the following reasons: 1 ) Industry standards are followed for the design and manufacture of the equipment in the ammonia refrigerat!on system. 2) The ammonia receivers are well protected from vehicular traffic. 3) Pressure safety valves on the ammonia receivers should limit any pressure increases inside the receivers. 4) Ammonia detectors should readily detect releases from the pressure relief valves on the ammonia receivers. 5) A~nmonia is not corrosive in this service. 6) The facility has a preventive maintenance program in place to maintain the on-going integrity of the ammonia refrigeration equipment.. 7) The Facility has a training program designed to ensure that qualified personnel operate the system. 8) The facility has emergency response procedures that enable trained personnel to respond quickly to 4/30/2002 8:32:38 AM Page 10 of 11 isolate any potential releases. D. Description of the Accidental Release Prevention program The facility has a program level 3 accident release prevention program for.the ammonia system that complies with OSHA's Process Safety Management standard and EPA's Risk Management Program Regulation. The ammonia prevention program consists of the follow elements: 1 ) Employee Participation Program 2) Process Safety Information 3) Process Hazard Analysis · 4) Operating Procedures 5) Training Program 6) Contractor Safety Program 7) Pre-Startup Safety Review Procedures 8) Mechanical Integrity Program 9) Hot Work Permit Procedures 10) Management of Change procedures 11) Incident Investigation Procedures 12) Compliance Audit Procedures E. Five Year Accident History One ammonia-related incident was identified for the Bakersfield Plant dudng the previous five years that resulted in significant on-site consequences. The amount released was eleven (11 ) pounds of ammonia. The on-site Injury had no offsite consequences. Upgraded oil removing equipment with new process controls were implemented as a result of this accident. F. Description of the Emergency Response Program An Emergency response program is in place at the Bakersfield Plant.

Other (Specify): Executive Summary A. Describe the accident release prevention and emergency policies It is the intent of Ice Cream Partners USA to provide a safe work environment for every employee and to protect them from injury and illness resulting from unsafe acts or conditions during hours of employment. Ice Cream Partners will also comply with all federal, state, and local laws. The plant manager has the responsibility for leadership of the safety and health program, for its effectiveness and improvement, and for providing the safeguards required to ensure safe conditions. Ammonia safety programs are key components in the plant safety and health program. Ice cream Partners exercises many precautions to prevent or minimize accidental releases of ammonia. These precautions include safety controls (alarms and automatic shutdown devices) which are designed to identify and prevent potentially unsafe conditions like pressure increases that could cause a system failure, a preventive maintenance pregram designed to maintain the on-going integrity of the system, a training program designed to ensure that the system is operated by qualified · personnel, and emergency response procedures which enable trained personnel to respond quickly to upsets in the system. The PSM/RMP Coordinator is responsible for the management of the ammonia safety pregrams:. B. Stationary source and regulated substances Handled Ice Cream Partners Bakersfield Plant produces ice-cream products for sale to the public. The facility operates an ammonia refrigeration system to freeze ice-cream products and also to operate the plant air-conditioning The maximum ammonia inventory at the plant is approximately 101,000 pounds. Ammonia is the only regulated substance handled at the Bakersfield plant. · c. Summary of Worst-case and Alternative release scenarios The Worst-Case toxic release scenario at the Bakersfield Plant involves the release of 34,276 pounds of ammonia over a 35 minute peded due to the failure of the High Pressure Receiver (HPR), The HPR receiver has the capacity to contain a maximum ammonia inventory of 48,967 pounds at 100%. But because of written administrative procedures and mechanical controls in place at the plant to limit the amount of ammonia stored in the High Pressure Receiver to 70% (34,276 pounds) or less. The release rate also assumes that the enclosed engine room would limit the amount released to the atmosphere. Under worst-case conditions, the resulting vapor cloud could have off-site .impacts. The Alternative toxic release scenario at the Bakersfield Plant involves the release of 18,649 pouhds of ammonia over 11 minutes due to a pressure relief valve opening. The release duration was assumed to be limited by the response of the Utility Mechanics to the ammonia detector in this line and access platforms to the dual pressure relief valve. Under alternative release conditions, the resulting vapor cloud could have off-site impacts. The Worst-Case and alternative toxic release scenarios are unlikely for the following reasons: 1 ) Industry standards are followed for the design and manufacture of the equipment in the amm(~nia refrigeration system. 2) The ammonia receivers are well protected from vehicular traffic. 3) Pressure safety valves on the ammonia receivers should limit any pressure increases inside the receivers. 4) Ammonia detectors should readily detect releases from the pressure relief valves on the ammonia receivers. 5) Ammonia is not corrosive in this service. 6) The facility has a preventive maintenance program in place to maintain the on-going integrity of the ammonia refrigeration equipment. 7) The Facility has a training program deSigned to ensure that qualified personnel operate the system. 8) The facility has emergency response procedures that enable trained personnel to respond quickly to ?_/26/2002 12:05:03 PM Page 10 of 11 isolate any potential releases. D. Description of the Accidental Release Prevention program The facility has a program level 3 accident release prevention program for the ammonia system that complies with OSHA's Process Safety Management standard and EPA's Risk Management Program Regulation. The ammonia prevention program consists of the follow elements: 1 ) Employee Participation Program 2) Process Safety Information 3) Process Hazard Analysis 4) Operating Procedures 5) Training Program 6) Contractor Safety Program 7) Pre-Startup Safety Review Procedures 8) Mechanical Integrity Program 9) Hot Work Permit Procedures 10) Management of Change procedures 11) Incident Investigation Procedures 12) Compliance Audit Procedures E. Five Year Accident History One ammonia-related incident was identified for the Bakersfield Plant dudng the previous five years that resulted in significant on-site consequences. The amount released was eleven (1.1) pounds of ammonia. The on-site Injury had no offsite consequences. Upgraded oil removing equipment with new process controls were implemented as a result of this accident. F. Description of the Emergency Response Program An Emergency response program is in place at the Bakersfield Plant. This program contains procedures describing how the facility will respond to fires, ammonia leaks and other emergencies, including evacuation procedures. The Emergency response program includes the following elements: 1 ) Fire Plan 2) Ammonia Leak Procedures 3) Evacuation Procedures 4) Responsibilities of the Emergency Response team **The above Program has been coordinated with the Bakersfield fire Department. G. Planned Changes to Improve Safety to the ammonia refrigeration system 1 ) Y2K compliant action plan addressed problems and items to be replaced. Replacement of items will be completed before 12/31/1999. 2) Seismic action plan is in place. Proposals for a Seismic Analysis are pending at this time. Once Seismic items are addressed they will be evaluated and implemented as required. 3) Pipe insulation action plan is in place. Three-year replacement plan was established; in year 2~of the plan at this time. 4) install ammonia to air treatment system for emergency exhaust fans and safety relief valve he~der.

Describe the accident release prevention and emergency policies It is the intent of Nestle to provide a safe work environment fOr every employee and to protect them from injury and. illness resulting from unsafe acts or conditions during hours of employment. Nestle will also comply with all federal, state, and local laws. The plant manager has the responsibility for leadership of the safety and health program, for its effectiveness and improvement, and for providing the safeguards required to ensure Safe conditions. Ammonia safety programs are key components in the plant.safety and health program. Nestles exercises many precautions to prevent or minimize accidental releases of ammonia. These precautions include safety controls (alarms and automatic shutdown devices) which are designed to identify and prevent potentially unsafe conditions like pressure increases that could cause a system failure, a preventive maintenance program designed to maintain the on-going integrity of the system, a training program designed to ensure that the system is operated by qualified personnel, and emergency response procedures which enable trained personnel to respond quickly to upsets in the system. The PSM/RMP Coordinator is responsible for the management of the ammonia safety programs. B. Stationary source and regulated substances Handled Nestle Bakersfield Plant produces ice-cream products for sale to the public. The facility operates an ammonia refrigeration system to freeze ice-cream products and also to operate the plant air-conditioning. The maximum ammonia inventory at the plant is approximately 101,000 pounds. Ammonia is the only regulated substance handled at the Bakersfield plant. c. Summary of Worst-case and Alternative release scenarios The Worst-Case toxic release scenario at the Bakersfield Plant involves the release of 34,276 pounds of ammonia over a 35 minute period due to the failure of the High Pressure Receiver (HPR), The HPR receiver has the capacity to contain a maximum ammonia inventory of 48,967 pounds at 100%. But because of written administrative procedures and mechanical controls in place at the plant to limit the amount of ammonia stored in the High Pressure Receiver to 70% (34,276 pounds) or less. The release rate also assumes that the enclosed engine room would limit · the amount released to the atmosphere. Under worst-case conditions, the resulting vapor cloud could have off-site impacts. The Alternative toxic release scenario at the Bakersfield Plant involves the release of 18,649 pounds of ammonia over 11 minutes due to a pressure relief valve opening. The release duration was assumed to be limited by the response of the Utility Mechanics to the ammonia detector in this line and access platforms to the dual pressure relief valve. Under alternative release conditions, the resulting vapor cloud could have off-site impacts. The Worst-Case and alternative toxic release scenarios are unlikely for the following reasons: 1) Industry standards are followed for the design and manufacture of the equipment in the ammonia refrigeration system. 2) The ammonia receivers are well protected from vehicular traffic. 3) Pressure safety valves on the ammonia receivers should limit any pressure increases inside the receivers. 4) Ammonia detectors should readily detect releases from the pressure relief valves on the ammonia receivers. 5) Ammonia is not corrosive in this service. . 6) The facility has a preventive maintenance program in place to maintain the on-going integrity of the ammonia refrigeration equipment. 7) The Facility has a training program designed to ensure that qualified personnel operate the system. 8) The facility has emergency response procedures that enable trained personnel to respond quickly to isolate any potential releases. 6/15/99 11:19:04 AM Page 10 of 11 D. Description of the Accidental Release Prevention program The facility has a program level 3 accident release prevention program for the ammonia system that complies with OSHA's Process Safety Management standard and EPA's Risk Management Program Regulation. The ammonia prevention program consists of the follow elements: 1) Employee Participation Program 2) Process Safety Information 3) Process Hazard Analysis 4) Operating Procedures 5) Training Program 6) Contractor Safety Program 7) Pre-Startup Safety Review Procedures 8) Mechanical Integrity Prbgram 9) Hot Work Permit Procedures 10) Management of Change procedures 11 ) Incident Investigation Procedures 12) Compliance Audit Procedures E. Five Year Accident History One ammonia-related incident was identified for the Bakersfield Plant during the previous five years that resulted in significant on-site consequences. The amount released was eleven (11 ) pounds of ammonia. The on-site Injury had no offsite consequences. Upgraded oil removing equipment with new process controls were implemented as a result of this accident. F. Description of the Emergency Response Program An Emergency response program is in place at the Bakersfield Plant. This program contains procedures describing how the facility will respond to fires, ammonia leaks and other emergencies, including evacuation procedures. The Emergency response program includes the following elements: 1) Fire Plan 2) Ammonia Leak Procedures 3) Evacuation Procedures 4) Responsibilities of the Emergency Response team *'The above Program has been coordinated with the Bakersfield fire Department. RMP G. Planned Changes to Improve Safety to the ammonia refrigeration system 1) Y2K compliant action plan addressed problems and items to be replaced. Replacement of items will be completed before 12/31/1999. 2) Seismic action plan is in place. Proposals for a Seismic Analysis are pending at this time. Once Seismic items are addressed they will be evaluated and implemented as required. 3) Pipe insulation action Plan is in place. Three-year replacement plan was established; in year 2 of the plan at this time. 4) Install ammonia to air treatment system for emergency exhaust fans and safety relief valve header.

If there's some other data contained in the RMP update that wasn't otherwise legally "required" to be updated, but just got carried over from an earlier version (emergency plan review & training drill dates, etc.), but I can now document it as a current discrepancy, we can all just make a note of it in the file and let it ride.., or why not simply fix all the dates along with Buttons e-mail address? If you decide to let it ride, I'll just have to re-address it again in the upcoming Audit. All I'm trying to say is the cleaner everything is going into the Audit, the easier it'll be. Easy is good.

Describe the accident release prevention and emergency policies It is the intent ~f Ice Cream Partners USA to provide a safe work environment for every employee and to protect them from injury and illness resulting from unsafe acts or conditions during hours of employment. Ice Cream Partners will also comply with all federal, state, and local laws. The plant manager has the responsibility for leadership of the safety and health program, for its effectiveness and improvement, and for providing the safeguards req,uired to ensure safe conditions. Ammonia safety programs are key components in the plant safety and health program. Ice cream Partners exercises many precautions to prevent or minimize accidental releases of ammonia. These precautions include safety controls (alarms and automatic shutdown devices) which are designed to identify and prevent potentially unsafe conditions like pressure increases that could cause a system failure, a preventive maintenance program designed to maintain the on-going integrity of the system, a training program designed to ensure that the system is operated by qualified personnel, and emergency response procedures which enable trained personnel to respond quickly to upsets in the system. The PSM/RMP Coordinator is responsible for the management (~f the ammonia safety programs. B. Stationary source and regulated substances Handled Ice Cream Partners Bakersfield Plant produces ice-cream products for sale to the public. The facility operates an ammonia refrigeration system to freeze ice-cream products and also to operate the plant air-conditioning. The maximum ammonia inventory at the plant is approximately 101,000 pounds. Ammonia is the only regulated substance handled at the Bakersfield plant. c. Summary of Worst-case and Alternative release scenarios The Worst-Case toxic release scenario at the Bakersfield Plant involves the release of 34,276 pounds of ammonia over a 35 minute period due to the failure of the High Pressure Receiver (HPR), The HPR receiver has the capacity to contain a maximum ammonia inventory of 48,967 pounds at 100%. But because of written administrative procedures and mechanical controls in place at the plant to limit the amount of ammo.n, ia stored in the High Pressure Receiver to 70% (34,276 pounds) or less. The release rate also assumes that the enclosed engine room would limit the amount released to the atmosphere. Under worst-case conditions, the resulting vapor cloud could have off-site impacts. The Alternative toxic release scenario at the Bakersfield Plant involves the release of 18,649 pounds of ammonia over 11 minutes due to a pressure relief valve opening. The release duration was assumed to be limited by the response of the Utility Mechanics to the ammonia detector in this line and access platforms to the dual pressure relief valve. Under alternative release conditions, the resulting vapor cloud could have off-site impacts. The Worst-Case and alternative toxic release scenarios are unlikely for the following reasons: 1) Industry standards are followed for the design and manufacture of the equipment in the ammonia refrigeration system. 2) The ammonia receivers are well protected from vehicular traffic. 3) Pressure safety valves on the ammonia receivers should limit any pressure increases inside the receivers. 4) Ammonia detectors should readily detect releases from the pressure relief valves on the ammonia receivers. 5) Ammonia is not corrosive in this service. 6) The facility has a preventive maintenance program in place to maintain the on-going integrity of the ammonia refrigeration equipment. 7) The Facility has a training program designed to ensure that qualified personnel operate the system~ 8) The facility has emer,c/ency response procedures that enable trained personnel to respond quickly to 4/21/2001 10:04:10 AM PagelOof 11 isolate any potential releases. D. Description of the Accidental Release Prevention program The facility has a program level 3 accident release prevention program for the ammonia system that complies with OSHA's Process Safety Management standard and EPA's Risk Management Program Regulation. The ammonia prevention program consists of the follow elements: 1) Employee Participation Program 2) Process Safety Information 3) Process Hazard Analysis 4) Operating Procedures 5) Training Program 6) Contractor Safety Program 7) Pre-Startup Safety Review Procedures 8) Mechanical Integrity Program 9) Hot Work Permit Procedures 10) Management of Change procedures 11) Incident Investigation Procedures 12) Compliance Audit Procedures E. Five Year Accident History One ammonia-related incident was identified for the Bakersfield Plant during the previous five years that resulted in significant on-site consequences. The amount released was eleven (11) pounds of ammonia. The on-site Injury had no offsite consequences. Upgraded oil removing equipment with new process controls were implemented as a result of this accident. F. Description of the Emergency Response Program An Emergency response program is in place at the Bakersfield Plant. This program contains procedures describing how the facility will respond to fires, ammonia leaks and other emergencies, including evacuation procedures. The Emergency response program includes the following elements: 1) Fire Plan 2) Ammonia Leak Procedures 3) Evacuation Procedures 4) Responsibilities of the Emergency Response team **The above Program has been coordinated with the Bakersfield fire Department. G. Planned Changes to Improve Safety to the ammonia refrigeration system 1) Y2K compliant action plan addressed problems and items to be replaced. Replacement of items will be completed before 12/31/1999. 2) Seismic action plan is in place.' Proposals for a Seismic Analysis are pending at this time. Once Seismic items are addressed they will be evaluated and implemented as required. 3) Pipe insulation action plan is in place. Three-year replacement plan was established; in year 2 of the plan at this time. 4) Install ammonia to air treatment system for emergency exhaust fans and safety relief valve header. 4/21/2001 10:04:10 AM Pagellof 11 SENDER: I also wish to receive the ', · Complete items 1 and/or 2 for additional services. · Complete items 3, and 4a & b. following services (for an extra .

Describe the accident release prevention and emergenCY policies It is the intent of Ica Cream Partners USA to provide a safe work environment for every employee and to protect them from injury and illness resulting from unsafe acts or conditions during hours of employment. Ica Cream Partners will also comply with all federal, state, and local laws. The plant manager has the responsibility for leadership of the safety and health program, for its effectiveness and improvement, and for providing the safeguards required to ensure safe conditions. Ammonia safety programs are key components in the plant safety and health program. Ice cream Partners exercises many precautions to prevent or minimize accidental releases of ammonia. These precautions include · safety controls (alarms and automatic shutdown devicas) which are designed to identify and prevent potentially unsafe conditions like pressure increases that could cause a system failure, a preventive maintenance program designed to maintain the on-going integrity of the system, a training program designed to ensure that the system is operated by qualified personnel, and emergenCY response procadures Which enable trained personnel to respond quickly to upsets in the system. The PSM/RMP Coordinator is responsible for the management of the ammonia safety programs. B. Stationary sourca and regulated substancas Handled Ice Cream Partners Bakersfield Plant producas ica-cream products for sale to the public. The facility operates an ammonia refrigeration system to freeze ica-cream products and also to operate the plant air-conditioning. The maximum ammonia inventory at the plant is approximately 101,000 pounds. Ammonia is the only regulated substanca handled at the Bakersfield plant. c. Summary of Worst-case and Alternative release scanarios The Worst-Case toxic release scenario at the Bakersfield Plant involves the release of 34,276 pounds of ammonia over a 35 minute period due to the failure of the High Pressure Recaiver (HPR), The HPR recaiver has the capacity to contain a maximum ammonia inventory of 48,967 pounds at 100%. But because of written administrative procedures and mechanical controls in place at the plant to limit the amount of ammonia stored in the High Pressure Recaiver to 70% (34,276 pounds) or less. The release rate also assumes that the enclosed engine room would limit the amount released to the atmosphere. Under worst-case conditions, the resulting vapor cloud could have off-site impacts. ~ The Alternative toxic release scenado at the Bakersfield Plant involves the release of 18,649 pounds of ammonia over 11 minutes due to a pressore relief valve opening. The release duration was assumed to be .. limited by the response of the Utility Mechanics to the ammonia detector in this line and access platforms to the dual pressure relief valve. Under alternative release conditions, the resulting vapor cloud could have off-site impacts. The Worst-Case and alternative toxic release scanarios are unlikely for the following reasons: 1) Industry standards are followed for the design and manufacture of the equipment in the ammonia refrigeration system. 2) The ammonia.recaivers are well protected from vehicular traffic. 3) Pressure safety valves on the ammonia recaivers should limit any pressure increases inside the recaivers. 4) Ammonia detectors should readily detect releases from the pressure relief valves on the ammonia recaivers. 5) Ammonia is not corrosive in this service. 6) The facility has a preventive maintenance program in place to maintain the on-going integrity of the ammonia refrigeration equipment. 7) The Facility has a training program designed to ensure that qualified personnel operate the system. 9/13/00 6:20:19 AM Page 10 of 11 8) The facility has emergency response procedures that enable trained personnel to respond quickly to isolate any potential releases. ~ D. Description of.the Accidental Release Prevention Program The facility has a program level 3 accident release prevention program for the ammonia system that complies with OSHA's Process Safety Management standard and EPA's Risk Management Program Regulation. The ammonia prevention program consists of the follow elements: 1) Employee Participation Program 2) Process Safety Information 3) Process Hazard Analysis 4) Operating Procedures 5) Training Program 6) Contractor Safety Program 7) Pre-Startup Safety Review Procedures 8) Mechanical Integrity Program 9) Hot Work Permit Procedures 10) Management of Change procedures 11) Incident Investigation Procedures 12) Compliance Audit Procedures E. Five Year Accident History One ammonia-related incident was identified for the Bakersfield Plant during the previous five years that resulted in significant on-site consequences. The amount released was eleven (11) pounds of ammonia. The on- site Injury had no offsite consequences. Upgraded oil removing equipment with new process controls were implemented as a result of this accident. F. Description of the Emergency Response Program An Emergency response program is in place at the Bakersfield Plant. This program contains procedUres describing how the facility will respond to rites, ammonia leaks and other emergencies, including evacuation procedures. The Emergency response program includes the following elements: 1) Fire Plan 2) Ammonia Leak Procedures 3) Evacuation Procedures 4) Responsibilities of the Emergency Response team **The above Program has been coordinated with the Bakersfield fire Department. G. Planned Changes to Improve Safety to the ammonia refrigeration system 1) Y2K compliant action plan addressed problems and items to be replaced. Replacement of items will be completed before 12/31/1999. 2) Seismic action plan is in place. Proposals for a Seismic Analysis are pending at this time. Once Seismic items are addressed they will be evaluated and implemented as required, 3) Pipe insulation action plan is in place. Three-year replacement plan was established; in year 2 of the plan at this time. 4) Install ammonia to air treatment system for emergency exhaust fans and safety relief valve header.

Describe the accident release prevention and emergency policies It is the intent of Ice Cream Partners USA to provide a safe work environment for every employee and to protect them from injury and illness resulting from unsafe acts or conditions during hours of employment. Ice Cream Partners will also comply with all federal, state, and local laws. The plant manager has the responsibility for leadership of the safety and health program, for its effectiveness and improvement, and for providing the safeguards required to ensure safe conditions. Ammonia safety programs are key components in the plant safety and health program. Ice cream Partners exercises many precautions to prevent or minimize accidental releases of ammonia. These precautions include safety controls (alarms and automatic shutdown devices) which are designed to identify and prevent potentially unsafe conditions like pressure increases that could cause a system failure, a preventive maintenance program designed to maintain the on-going integrity of the system, a training program designed to ensure that the system i~ operated by qualified personnel, and emergency response procedures which enable trained personnel to respond quickly to upsets in the system. The PSM/RMP Coordinator is responsible for the management0f the ammonia safety programs. B. Stationary source and regulated substances Handled Ice Cream Partners Bakersfield Plant produces ice-cream products for sale to the public. The facility operates an ammonia refrigeration system to freeze ice-cream products and also to operate the plant air-conditioning. The maximum ammonia inventory at the plant is approximately 101,000 pounds. Ammonia is the only regulated substance handled at the Bakersfield plant. c. Summary of Worst-case and Alternative release scenarios The Worst-Case toxic release scenario at the Bakersfield Plant involves the release of 34,276 pounds of ammonia over a 35 minute period due to the failure of the High Pressure Receiver (HPR), The HPR receiver has the capacity to contain a maximum ammonia inventory of 48,967 pounds at 100%. But because of written administrative procedures and mechanical controls in place at the plant to limit the amount of ammonia stored in the High Pressure Receiver to 70% (34,276 pounds) or less. The release rate also assumes that the enclosed engine room would limit the amount released to the atmosphere. Under worst-case conditions, the resulting vapor cloud could have off-site impacts. The Alternative toxic release scenario at the Bakersfield Plant involves the release of 18,649 pounds of ammonia over 11 minutes due to a pressure relief valve opening. The release duration was assumed to be limited by the response of the Utility Mechanics to the ammonia detector in this line and access platforms to the dual pressure relief valve. Under alternative release conditions, the resulting vapor cloud could have off-site impacts. The Worst-Case and alternative toxic release scenarios are unlikely for the following reasons: 1) Industry standards are followed for the design and manufacture of the equipment in the ammonia refrigeration system. 2) The ammonia receivers are well protected from vehicular traffic. 3) Pressure safety valves on the ammonia receivers should limit any pressure increases inside the receivers. 4) Ammonia detectors should readily detect releases from the pressure relief valves on the ammonia receivers. 5) Ammonia is not corrosive in this service. 6) The facility has a preventive maintenance program in place to maintain the on-going integrity of the ammonia refrigeration equipment. 7) The Facility has a training program designed to ensure that qualified personnel operate the system. 9/9/00 3:16:34 PM Page 10 of 11 8) The facility has emergency response procedures that enable trained personnel to respond quickly to isolate any potential releases. D. Description of the Accidental Release Prevention program The facility has a program level 3 accident release prevention program for the ammonia system that complies with OSHA's Process Safety Management standard and EPA's Risk Management Program Regulation. The ammonia prevention program consists of the follow elements: 1) Employee Participation Program 2) Process Safety Information 3) Process Hazard Analysis 4) Operating Procedures 5) Training Program 6) Contractor Safety Program 7) Pre-Startup Safety Review Procedures 8) Mechanical Integrity Program 9) Hot Work Permit Procedures 10) Management of Change procedures 11 ) Incident Investigation Procedures 12) Compliance Audit Procedures E. Five Year Accident History One ammonia-related incident was identified for the Bakersfield Plant during the previous five years that resulted in significant on-site consequences. The amount released was eleven (11 ) pounds of ammonia. The on- site Injury had no offsite consequences. Upgraded oil removing equipment with new process controls were implemented as a result of this accident. F. Description of the Emergency Response Program An Emergency response program is in place at the Bakersfield Plant. This program contains procedures describing how the facility will respond to fires, ammonia leaks and other emergencies, including evacuation procedures. The Emergency response program includes the following elements: 1) Fire Plan 2) Ammonia Leak Procedures 3) Evacuation Procedures 4) Responsibilities of the Emergency Response team **The above Program has been coordinated with the Bakersfield fire Department. G. Planned Changes to Improve Safety to the ammonia refrigeration system 1) Y2K compliant action plan addressed problems and items to be replaced. Replacement of items will be completed before 12/31/1999. 2) Seismic action plan is in place. Proposals for a Seismic Analysis are pending at this time. Once Seismic items are addressed they will be evaluated and implemented as required. 3) Pipe insulation action plan is in place. Three-year replacement plan was established; in year 2 of the plan at this time. 4) Install ammonia to air treatment system for emergency exhaust fans and safety relief valve header.

CA 93308 VOICE (805) 399-4697 FAX (805) 399-5763 RE: Ammonia Diffusion System Dear Mr. Gilles/~,~C~ In regards tO our telephone conversation concerning whether the pump down receiver could become the effective substitute for the existing ammonia diffusion system, the answer unfortunately is no. The Uniform Fire Code edition in effect at the time the plant was being built by Carnation allowed for either a diffusion system that discharges to the sewer, or an absorption tank of water with a capacity of one gallon of water for every pound of ammonia in the system. Today's current code only refers to the absorption tank. Therefore, if you need to discontinue the diffusion system, it will need to be replaced by 100,000 gallon water sparge tank. I checked our records regarding the origin or rationale behind installing the pUmp down receiver. There's nothing in the file that indicates its installation was ever intended to substitute or suffice for an emergency diffusion system, per se. It's clearly an optional means of diverting the charge of ammonia as opposed to disposal to the diffusion system, but they're not mutually exclusive. Only a new 100,000 gallon water sparge tank vs, the existing diffusion system are mutually exclusive under the current code. If you have any other questions please give me a call. Personally, I favor the water sparge tanks as we've had good experience in the past with them. The water sparge tank is especially beneficial for at least plumbing pressure relief valve exhaust into (see attachment), which in your RMP is a planned change to improve safety at your facility within the next 18 months.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An RMPP effectively averted a potential anhydrous ammonia release through the enforcement of requirements for em~en~ ammonia diffusion BACKGROUND The Crystal Geyser Water Company formulates Crystal Brand juice drinks and flavored waters at it's Bakersfield Plant, located in central Bakersfield at. 1233 East California Avenue. For process cooling, an ammonia system containing up to 4900 pounds of anhydrous ammonia is used. There are 35 employees at this facility, five of which are trained in the use of Self Contained Breathin~ Apparatus (SCBA). PRE-EMERGENCY PLANNING An RMPP was requested by this office ~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 pan 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 C~ser's entire plant modific~on, a modified RMPP was required by this office. Durin~ this plant modification, a new ammonia difli~on system consisli~ of a stationary sparse tank was inst~ed in order to absorb any released ammonia into the wat~ stored in the stainless steel sparge tank for that purpose. INCIDENT PHASE On Wednesday, Ausust 14, 1996, between the hours of 6 to 10 p.n~, a quality 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 unaware of the ammonia 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 of the Uniform Fire Code, the ammonia pressure relief valves are piped directly into the sparse tank. Approximately 2000 pounds of ammonia was absorbed by 8000 gallons of water in the sparse tank Had the ammonia been released into the atmosphere, the zone of ammonia co~on ........... ~~S-'fl~i~'~iTmmediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) would have extended 3/10th ' of a mile beyond the plant and affe~ed several nearby residential housh~ complexes (see attached offsite consequence maps). Since the release ocam~ between the hours of 6 to 10 p.m., the housing tra~ would have been at their maximum occupan~ levels. Without the RMPP proc~s, this would have be~n a severe and extremely hazardous 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 solutio~ Wastewater officials recommended that Crystal Geyser discharge the ammonia solution from the sparge tank into the sanitary sewer while diluting 50% with fresh water.

PROFILE OF AMMONIA Ammonia is a colorless gas that is important to animal and human life. At 28°F, ammonia becomes a liquid. It is both manufactured and found in nature, however, the amount of ammonia occurring in nature far exceeds that which is manufactured. Ammonia is found in water, soil, and air and is a source of much-needed nitrogen for plants and animals. Over 80 percent of man-made ammonia is used as fertilizer. Ammonia is used to manufacture synthetic fiber and plastics (10 percent) and explosives (5 percent). The small proportion of commercially produced ammonia not incorporated into fertilizers is used as a refrigerant, a corrosion inhibitor, in the purification of water supplies, and as a component of household cleaners. Ammonia provides a safe and reliable system of refrigeration and has been used for this purpose for more than 100 years. Ammonia does not last long in the environment. In soil or water, plants and microorganisms rapidly take up ammonia. As a fertilizer, the amount of ammonia in the soil decreases to Iow levels in a few days. In the air, ammonia will last about one week. Ammonia exists naturally in the air at levels between I and 5 parts-per-billion (ppb). The ammonia levels in rivers and bays are usually less than 6 parts-per-million (ppm). Ammonia has a very strong odor that most people can smell in the air at a level higher than 5 - 10 ppm. Therefore, most people will smell the ammonia in the air before it can harm them. Above 35 ppm, most people can taste ammonia in water. A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) report indicates that levels of 50 ppm in the air for less than 1 day may cause slight eye and throat irritation and the urge to cough. AT 500 ppm for 30 minutes, ammonia inhalation may result in increased air intake and a sore nose and throat. Levels of 1,700 to 2,500 ppm results in coughing, bronchospasm and chest pain along with severe eye irritation and tearing. Levels above 5,000 ppm are potentially fatal. Large amounts of ammonia are released into the atmosphere worldwide by domesticated farm animals. The application of fertilizer to the soil is a well-documented source of ammonia released into the atmosphere; however, biological activity of the soil itself is believed to be the primary global source of atmospheric ammonia. Ammonia can be released into the atmosphere through venting of gases during its production and from leaks in pipelines, transport vehicles and storage tanks. Although not a major source of ammonia in the atmosphere, releases from industrial tanks and pipelines are problematic because they may be concentrated and may occur in populated areas. However, with proper safety precautions, ammonia can be safely handled in manufacturing and other industrial uses. Ifa Release Occurs... Ifa major ammonia release occurred, we would follow a comprehensive emergency response plan. A series of coordinated events to manage the situation would take place. All nonessential personnel would leave the area. Various emergency controls would be activated, and plant workers with specialized emergency response training would be mobilized. Local officials would be immediately notified and {l~uested to assist, if necessary. In-Plant Emergency Response Team is trained in hazardous materials, fire, medical and rescue operations. They are available 24 hours per day. They are our first line of response in the event of an Ammonia release. An Emergency Response Plan has been prepared to handle release scenarios that have potential impact on our neighbors. A Community Notification Plan would be activated if the release could affect the surrounding neighborhood. This plan was prepared in cooperation with our local fire department. If the release expands into the surrounding l~[nmunity, a Shelter-in-Place plan would go ~effect. What is Shelter-In-Place? When a certain level of ammonia in the atmosphere is reached, the safest place is indoors with the windows and doors shut. Nestl6 USA Bakersfield, CA Environmental Stewardship Statement We at Nestld USA recognize our responsibility as a company to actively address environmental concerns. It is our policy to utilize sound environmental and pollution prevention policies. Nestld has committed resources to develop design specifications for our ammonia refrigeration systems in accordance with nationally recognized engineering practices to ensure safe operation of these systems. Our refrigeration personnel have been provided with state-of-the-art emergency equipment as well as ongoing training to be prepared to respond to accidental releases. Nestld factory personnel work closely with local emergency services to prepare for such events by maintaining close communications. Nestl6 USA, Inc. 7301 District Boulevard Bakersfield, California 93313 For additional information, call: (661) 398-3500 Nestl USA, Inc. Bakersfield, CA Risk Management Summary Why do we use ammonia? It is used as a refrigerant in the food industry. Ammonia is the most effective and environmentally the safest chemical for keeping food at proper temperature. Why Risk Management? Preventing accidental releases of hazardous chemicals is the shared responsibility of industry, govemment and the public. Industry commitment to and systems for continually improving factory and employee safety and the environment, coupled with new provisions in the Clean Air Act of 1990, advance the process of risk management planning and public disclosure of risk. Nestld USA's Bakersfield factory has not had any major ammonia releases that could have impacted the environment. We Prevent These Accidents By... Designing for Safety... The Nestl6 factory in Bakersfield utilizes several back-up safety features that have been designed into the ammonia refrigeration system. These include: · Automatic controls in valves that engage to shut down the system if temperatures and pressures exceed safe operating limits. · Storage tanks of ammonia are above ground, isolated in special rooms within the building. They also may be "diked" where necessary to contain spills. · Pressure relief valves that vent ammonia to a safe location if the system is not able to maintain design pressures. Taking Care of Our Equipment... Nestl6 utilizes a computerized preventive maintenance program that automatically prints and schedules weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual preventive maintenance work based on historical operating data, manufacturers' recommendations and good engineering practices. Annual visual inspections of the piping and the entire system are completed to ensure the mechanical integrity of the system. Operating Safely... All Nestl6 Refrigeration technicians have completed mandatory refrigeration training and also are trained as Hazardous Materials Technicians. All technicians receive annual refresher training on standard operating procedures in accordance with OSHA Process Safety Management Programs. The ammonia safety programs are managed by our safety, maintenance and engineering departments. Auditing our Operations... In order to maintain compliance with the OSHA/EPA guidelines, Nestl6 conducts audits and reviews of their ammonia refrigeration systems and safety programs. Internal audits of the ammonia systems and procedures are conducted every three years by corporate and plant safety specialists and refrigeration engineers to insure that we are operating and maintaining our systems in a safe manner. "Worst Case" Scenario The Chemical Accidental Release Rule requires the identification of one worst case scenario. Nestl6 Bakersfield has selected ammonia for worst case scenario modeling. The Environmental Protection Agency has defined a worst case scenario as the release of the largest quantity of a listed chemical from a facility that results in the greatest dispersion distance of the chemical where its concentration would be of possible concern to the community. In Bakersfield, the worst case scenario would involve the rupture of a high pressure receiver vessel located inside the factory. In the event of this type of release, local emergency management officials would be notified immediately and would determine if "shelter in place" or evacuation would be implemented. The "worst case" scenario could have offsite impact. Alternate Accident Scenario The Chemical Accidental Release Rule requires the identification of an alternative accident scenario for each listed chemical covered by the rule. Again, Nestl6 Bakersfield has selected ammonia for the alternate case scenario. An alternative accident scenario is a description more typical accident should such an incident ever occur. In Bakersfield, the more typical accident scenario would include a leak from an equipment seal (like as gasket). Depending on the size of this release, notification of our neighbors may not be necessary. In most instances, release of this type would be handled by our in-plant Emergency Response Teams. Should the release exceed a certain threshold level, local emergency services would be contacted and a "Shelter in Place" advisory could be issued to nearby neighbors.

The CalARP regulations are a merging of the federal and state risk management" prevention programs for accidental release prevention of several hundred listed flammable or toxic substances (e.g.: ammonia, chlorine, propane, etc.) which pose the greatest risk of causing death, injury, or seriously affecting human health or the environment if accidentally released. The rule requires certain facilities to develop and implement an integrated system to identify hazards and manage risks associated with these regulated substances. Since your facility appears to be subject to this rule, you will be required to analyze worst-case releases, document a five-year history of serious accidents, coordinate with local emergency responders, develop and implement a prevention program that includes, among other steps, identification of hazards, written operating procedures, training, maintenance, and accident investigation. If your employees also respond to accidental releases, you must implement an integrated local emergency response program. An informative digest is enclosed for your reference. The text of the regulations, technical assistance, and other information is available from our office by calling me directly at (805) 326-3979. Sincerely, Howard H.

RETA's certification program is directed toward meeting the need of providing the industry with qualified operators through continued education and l~aining using RETA materials. The RE--FA Certification Program is based on on-the-job practical experience for two or more years enhanced with a systematic approach to training through the RETA Industrial Refrigeration books. The exam is proctored and timed. The program helps individuals improve their technical skills and provides employers with a helpful benchmark for reviewing job applicants and current employees. While not an engineering degree or state regulatory license, certification does establish that the person certified has met RETA's experience, education, skill level and test requirements. The program's objectives include: To establish a nationally recognized standard of excellence, education and training for industrial refrigeration operators, technicians and supervisors. To assist the refrigeration industry in developing and recognizing qualified refrigeration plant operators, technicians and supervisors. · To encourage continued technical training and education, as well as practical experience, of refrigeration plant operators, technicians and supervisors. To promote SAFETY in industrial refrigeration faa'lities. To increase public recognition of the skills needed in the industrial refrigeration field. ' Level B - Entry Level Satisfactory completion of the following RETA industrial refrigeration educational courses is suggested: Industrial Refrigeration I Industrial Refrigeration II.

This new system is a positive step to help eliminate the cause of the March 18, 1995 injury accident involving ammonia associated with drained oil. My understanding of the system is that the chillers and accumulators drain residual compressor oil into a common vessel, whereby, ammonia vapors are removed under vacuum, as the drain oil is heated to reduce its viscosity prior to discharge into a 55 gallon 'drum on a wheeled cart. I also concur that a reconfiguration of the valves in the accumulator room (to allow their accessibility from the floor) will reduce the damage and risk of falling that the use of the scissor-lift now presents. Please inform this office if the valve reconfiguration will have any affect on the existing schematic piping diagrams on file for your facility. Thank you again for your continuing efforts to help make the City of Bakersfield a safer place in which to work and live. Sincerely, Howard H.

I also understand that disposal of this waste product is regularly accomplished by simply "pouring it doWn the drain" into the local sewer system. Unfortunately, this practice may not be acceptable disposal of a hazardous waste. Both the Health and Safety Code and the Uniform Fire Code prohibit the disposal of untreated hazardous waste into the sewer, unless released in accordance with federal, state or local regulations or permits. I have not been able to find any record of a permit to discharge untreated waste ammonium hydroxide into the city sewer system. Would yOu please review your files to determine if this waste is being disposed of properly, or take the necessary action to properly treat and or dispose of this material. Please reply by July 14, 1995 as to the disposition of this matter. Sincerely, Hazardous Materials Coordinator REH/dlm cc: Howard Wines R,E.

ACCIDENT HISTORY For each of the two reportable acutely hazardous material accidents, the revised RMPP shall also include a description of the underlying causes of the accidents and the measures taken to avoid a recurrence of similar accidents. RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL STEPS The revised RMPP shall schedule additional steps to be taken by Nestle to reduce the risk of an accident associated with the facility modifications. Upon review of the draft RMPP and based on a site inspection of the mix tank enclosure, this office has identified the absence of any ammonia leak detection devices in the confined space surrounding the mix tanks. The revised RMPP shall address the installation of alarm, detection, monitoring, or automatic control devices for the portions of the ammonia system located in confined spaces which are outside of the plant buildings. In addition, the previously recommended steps submitted with the 1994 RMPP update shall be reviewed, and this office notified which steps have been implemented and which steps will be incorporated into the revised RMPP implementation.

Wines III, Hazardous Materials Technician Carl Hernandez III, Deputy City Attorney~ Nestle Request for Separate Letter from City Attorney's Office I received your memorandum requesting a separate letter to Nestle under our department's letterhead in order to perhaps facilitate compliance by Nestle with regards to a modified Risk Management and Provision Plan. After examining your Notice - Schedule for Compliance sent to Nestle on April 7, 1995, I decided that sending a letter out of our office simultaneously with your notice could have an adverse effect on Nestle's willingness to comply. As we discussed on May 2, 1995, Nestle has complied with your compliance request. I feel that your notice of April 7, 1995 was well-worded, open to negotiation, and firm with regards to potential legal action. We are pleased that your notice elicited the appropriate response from Nestle. As we discussed in our telephone conversation, should you need any further assistance in this matter or in any other matter in the future, please feel free to contact me. CC: R.E.

The purpose of the TOS is to provide a description of the tanks defining their function, operating conditions and limits, consequences of deviations from operating limits, description of controls, instrumentation and safety systems and setting the operating conditions. The purpose of the SOP is to set forth the proper steps for starting, monitoring normal operation, stopping and re-starting the ammonia cooling on the tanks. Careful attention to valve positions is important to this procedure as it is the ammonia cooling that maintains mix temperature within legal limits. Among the incidents we are trying to prevent are: Injury to facilities technicians. W-arm Mix Over pressurization of the tanks resulting in operation of pressure relief valves or failure or rupture of components and consequent release of ammonia to atmosphere.

Please follow up on the attached letter by contacting Nestle under your department's letterhead. As referenced, Nestle's corporate policy has been to summarily refute the applicability of the law. In my discussions with Nestle personnel regarding this obtrusive behavior, I gather it emanates from their corporate counsel. Due to the recent accidents and injuries that have occurred at Nestle involving ammonia, this agency requests that a firm reiteration of our position also be issued from your office.

Valley Sun Mechanical was installing piping to the new mix tanks. They were putting a large pipe down through the roof over the top of MT01. The pipe was approximately 14 feet long and was nearly all the way through the roof when it slipped out of the rigging. The pipe dropped into the enclosure striking and bending the ammonia suction line near the top of the tank and the flange on the suction line. The tanks were immediately isolated and the exhaust system was activated to begin ventilation of the room. It is estimated that 80 pounds of ammonia was released.

The Utilities Technician on duty was draining oil from chiller number four (4); the technician had shoulder length neoprene gloves on and a full face cartridge respirator. To begin draining the oil the valve was turned slowly to open for a few moments nothing discharged; then there was a discharge into a bucket of approximately 11 pounds. The technician left the engine room took the soiled gloves off and waited until breathing was easier. The technician attempted to re-enter engine room to shut offthe valve, the monitor indicated 85 ppm so the technician left the engine room, and hit the all call to evacuate the plant. Two technicians then donned SCBA to re-check to ensure valve was closed. The ammonia dissipated within the building and any residual was removed with large quantities of water. There was no fluctuations in the pH readings of the discharge to the POTW. Don Richardson from the City Wastewater confirmed Monday, March 20, 1995 pH readings did not vary from normal daily 9perations. The new ammonia lines were added on the -38 degree and -55 degree sections of the refrigeration system. No slag from that installation could be associated with this release as it occurred on a separate 0 degree section of the refrigeration system.

E-9 found the the employees had been evacuated from the building. E-9 was met by David Thompson and Rick Myrtle; both were wearing self-contained breathing apparatus. They reported that they had contained a small ammonia leak in the machinery room. Mr. Myrtle reported that he had chemical burns from contact with liquid ammonia. Both men reported respiratory irritation; they had no't been wearing respiratory protection when the ammonia was initially spilled. Mr. Myrtle had blisters on his right arm from the elbow to the hand. E-9 applied a burn dressing and applied normal saline solution to the dressing. Oxygen was started by mask at 10 liters per minute. Mr. Thompson's face and neck was flushed bright red. E-9 started oxygen on him by mask at 10 liters per minute. Both employees were transported to Memorial Hospital by Hall ambulance. Mr. Myrtle reported to ammonia to be at 85 parts per million. Haz-Mat 11 decided to enter the engine room with the assistance of KCFD Haz-Mat 66. When the required amount of people arrived and were prepared~ HazrMat 11 entered the building and discovered that the liquid had evaporated. Fans in the room had ventilated the area. E-9 was informed by Nestle personnel that two other employees were feeling iii. E-9 made no contact with these personnel. Hall ambulance was on scene; they treated and tranported the patients.

(805) 398-3500 VIA CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED February 14, 1995 Howard H. Wines, III Hazardous Materials Technician City of Bakersfield 1715 Chester Avenue Bakersfield, CA 93301 Re: Risk Management and Prevention Program (RMPP) Dear Mr. Wines: This responds to your letter of February 6, 1995 in which you provide our facility with Notice that RMPP program requirements must be implemented, and procedures established, to manage facility modifications involving acutely hazardous materials. Please be advised that modifications to our ammonia system started in 1994; that is, before the new legislation referenced in your letter became effective. In addition to the above, the changes made to our facility do not qualify as a "facility modification" under the RMPP program legislation. The pertinent provision of the RMPP legislation defines a "facility modification" as an addition or change to a facility which results in either a substantial increase in the amount of acutely hazardous materials handled by the facility or a significantly increased risk in handling an acutely hazardous material (See H&S Code Section 25532(e)). In our case, the amount of ammonia added to the system is 750 gallons (4125 lbs). Our original 1989 RMPP was designed for a system with capacity for 120,000 lbs. of ammonia. In any event, the 4125 lbs increase represents an increase of approximately 5%. This evidently does not constitute a substantial increase when dealing with a system as large as ours. With regards to the significantly increased risk criterion, we believe that the addition to the ammonia system in question will not pose a significant increased risk since the equipment is the same, will be operated the same way and any emergency response will be handled as outlined in the RMPP. c:environ.rmppbkld.214 Mr. Howard H, Wines February 14, 1995 Page 2 In summary, we believe that the modifications of concern do not constitute a "facility modification" under the RMPP program; will not substantially increase the amount of acutely hazardous materials handled; will not pose a significantly increased risk; and the modifications are not covered by the legislation which became effective in 1995. Notwithstanding the above, please note that our Company remains committed to working with the City in addressing any issues of concern in this area. We are in fact reviewing our RMPP plan to ensure that all necessary elements are covered and will continue implementing OSHA's Process Safety Management standard. Please feel free to call me should you have any questions or need additional information on this matter.

(emphasis added). Effective January 1, 1995, Section 25543.2 was added to Chapter 6.95 H&SC. This section reads in pertinent part, that Nestle shall do all the following, prior to operatin.q the modified facility: (a)(2) Establish procedures to manage the proposed modification, which shall be substantially similar to the procedures specified in Section 1910.119 of Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations pertaining to process safety management, and notify the administering agency that the procedures have been established. This new code section effectively melds federal process safety management (PSM) standards into the RMPP. Although the 1994 RMPP update may already satisfy some of the federal PSM requirements, there are many more specific PSM requirements that may not have been adequately addressed in the previous RMPP. Fortunately, the additional PSM requirements pertaining to operating procedures and emPloyee training may help satisfy several of the RMPP implementation steps previously required of Nestle under Section 25534(k) of Chapter 6.95. A well prepared RMPP modification should satisfy both PSM standards and show completion of all previously recommended RMPP implementation steps. In any event, the PSM provisions must be in place before the Nestle Ice Cream Facility plant can resume operations involving the modifications to the ammonia refrigeration system. Failure to do so will place Nestle in violation of Chapter 6.95, Article 2, which will be enforced by the Bakersfield Fire Department. Your immediate attention to this recent code change is indicated. please call me at 326-3979. If you have any questions, Sincerely, Howard H. Wines,' III Hazardous Materials Technician cc: R.

Wines, III City of Bakersfield Hazardous Materials Division 17.1.5 Chester A_venue Bakersfield, California 93301 Dear Mr. Wines, Nestle has received your request for further clarification on the nature of activities involved in the plant shutdown. In general the plant shutdown is our window to overhaul equipment, install new parts, do miscellaneous painting, etc. Basically it is our opportunity to conduct maintenance type work which is impossible while the plant is in production. However, this year we are adding three new lines and will be adding some additional ammonia piping for these lines. It is estimated that our ammonia inventOry will be approximately 95,000 pounds. Thank you for your reminder on updating the facilities RMPP within 60 days following a modification. These modifications will be completed by the first week of January. Upon the completion of the modifications it is Nestle's intent to appropriately revise the RMPP. Regarding the ammonia safety audit, this will be conducted during the first quarter of 1995. Sincerely, Cheri Rhoades Safety and Environmental Manager FIRE DEPARTMENT M. R. KELLY FIRE CHIEF CITY of BAKERSFIELD "WE CARE" December 8, 1994 1715 CHESTER AVENUE BAKERSFIELD, 93301 326-3911 Ms. Cheri Rhoades, Safety & Training Manager Nestle Ice Cream Company 7301 District Blvd. Bakersfield, CA 93313 Dear Ms. Rhoades, As a follow-up to our telephone conversation on Thursday, December 1, 1994, when you indicated that the plant was undergoing a shutdown period for repairs and maintenance, I would like further clarification on the nature of the activities involved with the plant shutdown. In particular, please describe the status of the ammonia refrigeration system during this shutdown, and any maintenance or modifications being made to the system during this process. Section 25534(h) of the California Health and Safety Code states: "The handler shall review the RMPP, and shall make necessary revision to the RMPP at least every three to five years, as determined by the administering agency, but, in any event, within 60 days following a modification which would materially affect the handling of an acutely hazardous material". (Emphasis added). The current Risk Management and Prevention Program for the plant references an annual ammonia safety audit. Please indicate if an ammonia safety audit will be conducted during this shutdown period as well. sincerely, Howard H. Wines,Ill Hazardous Materials Technician HHW/dlm cc: R.

I had previously served seven Years with the Kern County Fire Department in my last capacity as Hazardous Materials Program Supervisor. My first concern for the City of Bakersfield is to contact those individuals and businesses where compliance or corrective action is overdue. A review of the correspondence file shows that you were last notified on August 5, 1993 and were then required to correct the following violation(s): "The risk management and prevention program (RMPP) has not been modified to include the emergency ammonia receiver installed during the winter of 1993 Is/cl. The three year review has not been completed for the RMPP submitted in May of 1989." (§ 25534 CH&SC Ch. 6.95) Unfortunately, I can't find anything else in your file that indicates you have satisfied the code requirements. I'm especiallY alarmed because so. much time has elapsed since our last contact with you. Please help me update your file by responding within 14 days, in writing, as to how you have addressed the previous code violation. If you're having difficulties in complying, I'll need to know that as well. I'm willing to work with you toward gaining compliance with the law, but I'm not willing to let anymore time get away from us. cc: Quad Engineering Very truly yours, Howard H.

In. two (2) letters, both dated December 11, 1992, Ms. Brenner detailed these violations. Your organization (Nestle I.C.P.F.) must do. an RMpp modification to include a hazard analySis-of an emergency ammonia receiver and its interaction with your existing systems. Your RMPP is also badly out. of date because it must be updated every three (3) years, and time for this update is long past due. Please refer to Ms. Brenner's letters of December 11, 1992 for more complete information about the requirements you must comply with. By acting at once, you can update your RMPP and do the RMPP modification in one analysis, rather than two. Proceeding in this manner should save you time and money. Certainly these State laws. are not easy or cheap to comply with; however, as a knowledgeable Citiken and entrepreneur, you realize the importance of protecting our environment and maintaining - or even improving - the quality of life in our area. The entire community benefits from your environmental efforts, and we appreciate the time and thoughtful cOnsideration we. know you will apply to conforming with the law. Mr. Dave Schilean AugUst 12, 1993 Page Two Our~office is empowered 'to take legal action, including but not limited to, injunctive relief and the filing of misdemeanor criminal charges, if you fail to comply with these requirements. Legal proceedings are costly and time-consuming and hold no chance of profit for you or your organization. As a wise business professional, it will be apparent that t-he best business courseof action is to comply with the law and avoid unnecessary legal expenseS.

Curtis & Associates 20281 Chateau Drive Saratoga, CA 95070 Dear M arvin, Following are responses to your questions regarding the consequence analysis 'fOr Nestle's risk management and prevention program (RMPP) modification/three year review. The requirements for the three year update of the Nestle consequence analysis are based on the 1992 amendment to the CA Health & Safety Code, Chapter 6.95 section 25534(d)(2) requiring vulnerability zone maps. A copy of this section is enclosed for your reference. Please use the City of Bakersfield Fire Department's guidelines for preparation of this map. It should not be necessary to create a map for each of the release scenarios if the vulnerability map depicts the worst credible situation. You may use text to indicate that the other release scenarios are not expected to travel as far. The requirements for the RMPP modification offsite consequence analysis are based on the addition of the emergency ammonia receiver. Offsite consequences should be evaluated due to the possibility of a large outdoor release from this source. I do not know if the weather data has changed since you last evaluated the Nestle facility. Local climatological data can be obtained from the National Climatic Data Center. in Ashville, NC (704) 259-0682. Ask for the data from Meadows Field Airport also known as the Kern County Air Terminal. The most recent summary that I have is from the years 1965-1974. However, there may now be more recent publications. In this area, worst case conditions for ammonia releases tend to be represented by cold, foggy, calm evening conditions. Predominant winds are from the north west. I recommend that you get the publications noted above for use in determining wind speeds and temperatures. The foggy season in Bakersfield usually occurs between December and March. o The use of hazard footprint isopleths on the vulnerability maP is optional. Isopleths are preferred by some preparers because the size of a plume can be shown to be variable depending on the weather conditions. Average wind speeds tend to'vary with direction and cause different degrees of mixing. If concentric circles are used alone, they should represent the worst case weather conditions. There is no preferred calculation for arrival and duration times. Please let us know what models~and calculations you intend to use before c°mpleting the work. The Whazan model used preViously is still acceptable. The 10 minute release duration for the catastrophic releaseis consistent with EPA guidelines and is also still accePtable. During my meeting with Nestle and Quad, I resolved the questions that I had noted in previous letters regarding the.volume of the catastrophic release from the high pressure receiver. You do not need to do additional work to characterize onsite consequences for the six original scenarios. The fatality probabilities included with the original document do address the consequences of close range exposures. Similar information r~egarding onsite exposure' levels will also be satisfactory for any new release scenarios. ~. Please contact me at 805-326-3979 if you have further questions.

The following are specific questions in this regard. Have the metrological data changed? What are the worst case weather conditions in Bakersfield on which~ we should base the dispersion calculations? Wind direction, force~ day, night, winter, summer, atmospheric stability and temperatures? to be a new requirement. Will separate maps be required for the six scenarios presented in the original HMMp? The guideline indicates that hazard footprint isopleths "may be included", Is this optional? The guidelines show an example of a'Zones of Vulnerability and Hazard Footprint map. This appears Is there a preferred calculation for arrival and duration times for a dispersion? If so, please comment. Marvin E. Curtis, P.E. File: QUAD9303.DOC/PR 6/3/93 5. Dispersion modeling calculations show· the concentration of the AHM from the point of release.

Bakersfield Fire Department requires modification of the existing anhydrous ammonia risk management and prevention program (RMPP) pursuant to the CA Health .and Safety Code Division 20, Chapter 6.95, Sections 25534.2 & 25535(d). Please review the enclosed documents regarding the required elements of a RMPP and the type of qualifications necessary for preparation of the hazard analysis and documentation. Before work begins on this RMPP modification, submit a statement of qualifications to the Hazardous Materials Division regarding those individuals who will be working on the project. The RMP,P, modification must be based on. a hazard analysis of the newt/ equipment and it s interaction with the existing system. Maintenance and oPeration of the emergency equipment must also be addressed. The existing offsite consequence analysis must be expanded to include a worst credible outdoor ammonia release s~enario. The existing offsite consequence analysis mitigates the worst credible release from a high pr'essure receiver because ammonia disp. ersion would be impeded by the building.

I have highlighted the sections which have been modified. Please review the revised business plan, make any corrections necessary and sign the stamped block on the front. Attach the ammonia diffusion system operation instructions for inclusion in section H4. When you have completed .your review of these business plan revisions, please call me to schedule a meeting to discuss the following points which were raised during the inspections with our fire companies. . The fire personnel requested that the 3 king valves to be clearly labeled. Section 80'.401 (c)2.C of the 1988 Uniform: Fire Code requires that "Emergency shutoff valves shall be identified and the location shall be clearly visible and indicated by means of a sign". The exterior emergency compressor shutoff switch should be labeled. Nestle needs to define the types of failures which are to be controlled by compressor shut down and if there are particular situations where compressor Shut down may escalate a problem. The fire personnel have asked for the rate of pressure vessel evacuation in pounds/minute during activation of the ammonia diffusion system. They want this information so that they can determine pump rates if fire pumpers are required to provide water tothe mixing chambers. We notiCed flammable liquids (vanilla extract) Stored'in the dry storage warehouse. VVhat is the tOtal quantity of flammable liquids stored in this area?

I appreciate Nestle's cooperation in providing plant tours for our fire suppression personnel. However, I am concerned about your lack of cooperation in providing the RMPP implementation verification records which I have repeatedly requested since December of 1991. Additionally, I have not received the hazardous material inventory revisions.whiCh I have repeatedly requested Since March of this year.

The actions taken to comply with the RMPP items discussed on the June 5th inspection are as follow: 1. RMPP Section 4.073, page 11. a. At the present time the building automation system (Robert Shaw) will not activate exhaust fans because they are not connected to the system. We are currently sourcing, prices for the components needed to.connect these points. 0~19o ~6~J¢~ '~ b. According to NH3 experts, technology for the fixed ammonia monitoring equipment will cause a nuisance trip below 50 ppm. Do~ ~'r~bo4~ .~c~ a~2~.~PP Section 4.074, page 12. a. The correct number of .ammonia leak detectors are: 1~_ Engine room (2) ~..~2~' Main production floor (6) 3.. AS/RS (4) 4. Mezzanine (4) b. Records on ammonia alarms will be saved, alarm poller booklet for NH3 alarm has been started. 3. RMPP Section 5.01, page 13. At this time we would like to stick with definitions of incidents and accidents as stated in Section 5.01 in the ~3.1 Reportable release to the Administrative Agency and California Office of Emergency Services is 200~cu, ft. ~  -c~ The routine maintenance schedule has been .reviewed and the. correct schedule for Maintenance of Ammonia, Compressors is Change oil ' 5,000 hrs.', 30,000 hrs., 60,000 hrs,, etc. Change filter 200 hrs., 5,000 hrs., 10,000 hrs., etc. Replace seal every 30,000 hrs. Inspect .cOmpressor every 50,000 hrs. etc.  RMPP Section 9.02, 22 page a. At the present time, we are looking into two alternatiVes to the solution: 1) install a multi point gas monitoring system or; 2~ include "areas of concern" in the facility's technicians checklist, to be inspected once ~ per shift or (twice per day). ~¢_o~f'~ ~Dca~do~ ~ ~.,~ ~~ b. A work order has been writt'en and a guard post will be installed, August, 1990. c. Color coded process flow schematic for the ammonia system is in progress and it will be completed in September, 1990. d. Work in progress; target completion date October, 1990. e. Safety training Will be documented. f Evacuation drill will be conducted this calendar year (1990). g. Work in progress. 7. See the attached for Ammonia Safety Audit'Findings.
