Marrella United States Cold Storage, Inc. 8424 West 47m Street Lyons, Illinois 60534 Dear Mr. Marrella, Thank you for your response of August 13, 2003 where you attached information provided by the Stellar Group. Unfortunately, The Stellar Group's information did not address whether galvanized piping is rated or recommended for ammonia service. In fact, the ASME Code referenced by The Stellar Group specifically excluded the consideration of choice of materials. I've highlighted the section of that code which reads: "The selection of materials to resist deterioration in service is outside the scope of this Code. It is theresponsibility of the engineer to select materials suitable for the conditions of operation." (ASME B31.5.2001, Section 523.3). The selection of materials of construction is at issue here for a number of reasons. First, Material Safety Data Sheets for ammonia all list zinc as an incompatible material with ammonia. Galvanized pipe is, of course, zinc coated. It is certainly not logical to put a zinc coated pipe into ammonia service, based on available process safety information. Secondly, the construction blueprints for the USCS Bakersfield facility actually specified a SA 106B piping material fOr this particular application. SA 106B is a seamless carbon steel pipe specification. It is not a zinc cOated pipe specification. USCS Bakersfield's use of galvanized pipe on the ammonia system, in this instance, does not appear to conform to the original construction plans previously approved by the City of Bakersfield. Lastly, it is USCS responsibility, under the Risk Management Plan program to assure that equipment, as it is fabricated, is suitable for the process application, and to correct deficiencies in equipment that are outside acceptable limits (defined by the process safety information). Mr. James C. Man'ella September 2, 2003 Page 2 Therefore, prior to September 15, 2003, please address how USCS is going to correct the deficiency where galvanized piping exists on USCS Bakersfield's ammonia system in apparent conflict with both the process safety information for ammonia as well as the design specification for original materials of construction approved by the City of Bakersfield. If you have any further questions, please call me at (661) 326-3649. Sincerely, Howard H.

The invoice dates are recorded on the "Time Charged" log maintained in the file folder, a copy of which is included herewith. b) Reason for 11 month delay in the billing. There has not been a delay in the billing. The oversight charges are ongoing throughout the entire Risk Management Plan (RMP) program review. The Audit is a periodic requirement for the regulatory agency to perform and is in addition to other RMP compliance inspections and completeness reviews. The billings are conducted on a quarterly basis for any charges accrued for that quarter. While some portions of the initial Audit planning and preliminary arrangements were billed during 2002, the bulk of the USCS document review and Audit report write-up occurred between a half day on April 17th and a full work-week ending on June 23, 2003 and was billed at that time. The time span involved is a function of total workload and where several RMP Audits for other facilities are ongOing in various stages of completion, from initiation to drafting the final determination report, on a continual basis throughout the year. c) As to the status of the billing e.g., partial or final. The oversight charges are ongoing throughout the entire program of the RMP review and audit process depending on the regulatory activity. For instance, response to this request is being charged accordingly, as a general inquiry into the compliance status of the RMP program for USCS. d) Where are we in the RMP review process? The preliminary determinations concerning the USCS RMP Audit have been completed and were issued on June 17, 2003. USCS has 90 days (until September 15, 2003) to respond to the Audit findings that USCS is currently using galvanized piping materials which are incompatible with ammonia, and that USCS failed to insure that their construction contractors were installing the correct.piping materials. There has been no direct USCS response as of yet to the particular Audit findings. Mr. James C. Marrella August 19, 2003 Page 2 e) Material not yet reviewed in our RMP. The USCS response to the Audit findings is still pending review upon receipt. f) Estimated time required to complete the review process. This is dependent on the forthcoming USCS response to the Audit findings. g) An explanation of how the hourly billing rate was determined, along with all information used to support the determination that the fees were necessary and reasonable. A master fee schedule for the City of Bakersfield Fire Department is included herewith. h) A statement identifying the person or persons performing the work for each entry on the attached billing and their title or position.

The City of Bakersfield is the primary contributing author. j) A list of the persons authorized by the City of Bakersfield to review RMPs under the "HAZMAT" program. The position of Hazardous Materials Specialist contains the duties associated with the review of RMPs. A job description is included. k) A copy of any fee schedule developed under Health & Safety Code 25404.5 (single fee system). A master fee schedule is included. It should be noted that the RMP oversight charges are not annual "permit" fees subject to the single fee system. The billings are conducted on a quarterly basis for charges accrued for that quarter depending on the regulatory activity. The charges are for ongoing, periodic oversight or enforcement of specific safety requirements associated with implementation of the RMP program. Mr. James C.

The invoice dates are recorded on the "Time Charged" log maintained in the file folder. The Time Charged log shows only a period, between 4/17/03 and 6/23/03 where a total of 44 hours were accrued from initial report writing to its completion. Instead of making some 20 entries at 2 hours each on the invoice, the time was consolidated. This method of time accounting is consistent with previous Audits this office has performed. USCS is in no way being "singled-out" by fee methodology or invoice amounts. In fact, USCS had the least amount of time charged compared to the two other'RMP Audits this office performed during the same period. However, USCS does have the most recent accident history which resulted in a major ammonia release to the City of Bakersfield as.documented within their RMP. On this basis,-USCS was selected for the Audit process prior to many other RMP facilities which don't have any previous accident history. b) Reason 'for 11 month delay in the billing.

The primary objectives of the CalARP RMp program are to identify the causes and consequences of accidental releases of hazardous substances and the means to prevent such releases from occurring, to promote industry safety initiatives in these areas, and to share activities with the community. The CalARP program, under California law, is part of this broad federal EPA accidental release prevention of toxic air emissions initiative under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, Section 112(r), and has been designed to additionally implement the following chemical accident prevention policies: A significant number of chemical manufacturing and processing facilities generate, store, treat, handle, refine, process, and transport hazardous materials. Because of the nature and volume of chemicals handled at these facilities, some of those operations may represent a threat to public health and safety if chemicals are accidentally released. The potential for explosions, fires, or releases of toxic chemicals into the environment exists. The protection of the public from uncontrolled releases or explosions of hazardous materials is of statewide concern. There is an increasing capacity to both minimize and respond to releases of toxic air contaminants and hazardous materials once they occur, and to formulate plans to evacuate or shelter-in-place citizens if these discharges or releases cannot be immediately contained. However, programs designed to prevent these accidents are the most effective way to protect the community health and safety and the environment. These programs should anticipate the circumstances that could result in their occurrence and require the taking of necessary precautionary and preemptive actions, consistent with the nature of the hazardous materials handled by the facility and the surrounding environment. The public has a right to know about acutely hazardous materials accident risks that may affect their health and safety, and that this right includes full and timely access to hazard assessment information, including offsite consequence analysis for the most likely hazards, which identifies the offsite area which may be required to take protective action in the event of an acutely hazardous materials release. The public has a right to participate in decisions about risk reduction options and measures to be taken to reduce the risk or severity of acutely hazardous materials accidents. The audit consists of interviews with facility personnel and onsite review of various aspects of facility operations and documents related to the prevention of accidental chemical releases. In accordance with Section 25534.5 (CH&SC), the Bakersfield Fire Department - Office of Environmental Services (BFD- OES) shall have access to the facility, supporting documentation, and any area where an accidental release could occur. Specific topics addressed in the audit typically include, but may not be limited to: Process characteristics. Hazard evaluation and release detection techniques. Training of operators and emergency response personnel. Management structure (corporate and facilitY). Preventive maintenance and inspectiOn programs. Community notification mechanisms and techniques. Based on the audit, the BFD-OES may issue the facility a written preliminary determination of any necessary revisions to the RMP to ensure that the RMP meets the criteria contained in federal and/or State laws and regulations, as applicable. The preliminary determination shall include an explanation for the basis for the revisions, reflecting industry standards and guidelines (e.g.: AIChE/CCPS guidelines and ASME, API, ISO standards, etc.) to the extent that such standards and guidelines are applicable, and shall include a timetable for their implementation. Any such preliminary determinations are included herewith in this audit report under Section 13.0 - Preliminary Determinations. Please refer to that section of this report for specific determinations. The facility shall respond in writing within 90 days of the issue of the preliminary determinations contained herein, or a shorter period of time if specified in the determinations as necessary to protect public health, safety and the environment. Prior to the response being due and upon written request from the facility, the BFD-OES may provide in writing additional time for the response to be received. The response shall state that the facility will implement the revisions contained in the preliminary determination in accordance with the timetable included therein, or shall state that the facility rejects the revisions in whole or in part. For each rejected revision, the facility shall explain the basis for rejecting such revision. Such explication may include substitute revisions. After providing the facility an opportunity to respond, the BFD-OES may issue a written final determination of necessary revisions to the RMP. The BFD-OES will develop a timetable for implementing the revisions in consultation with the facility. The final determination may adopt or modify the revisions contained in the preliminary determination, or may adopt or modify the substitute revisions provided in the facility's response. A final determination that does not adopt a substitute revision provided by the facility shall include an explanation of the basis for finding such substitute revision unreasonable. 5 1.2 United States Cold Storage, Bakersfield Audit This report contains observations, conclusions, and preliminary determinations from an audit conducted at United States Cold Storage of California facility in Bakersfield (USCS Bakersfield), California, initiated on July 30, 2002. The facility was selected for an audit to verify compliance with the CaIARP program regulations within a three year cycle. This report identifies and characterizes the strengths of specific chemical process safety management program areas to allow the elements that are particularly effective to be recognized, as well as to make any preliminary determinations of where changes to improve chemical safety should be planned. Copies of this report have been provided to the facility's corporate management so that preliminary determinations contained herein can be agreed upon and finalized. The audit team consisted of Howard H. Wines, III, Hazardous Materials Specialist (BFD- OES), J.R. Espain, Chief Engineer and Kevin Cummings, Assistant Engineer for USCS Bakersfield. Also in attendance at the Audit opening conference were James Marrella, USCS, Inc. Coordinator of OSHA and EPA Compliance and Training, David Amett, USCS, Inc. Area Engineer, and .Randy Dorrell, USCS Bakersfield Plant Manager. 2.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS/CONCLUSIONS Based on a limited review of the chemical process safety management practices, related specifically to the handling of CalARP regulated substances, the audit team has reached the following conclusions: USCS was originally constructed in 1993 under a deliberate phased-in future expansion approach. Four additional phases of expansion Were completed during three separate construction efforts between 1996 and 2002. A release of approximately 100 pounds of anhydrous ammonia occurred during an ammonia line tie-in at the initial expansion effort in .1997. prOCess safety management procedures were revised after the incident to prevent further accidental releases during the ammonia line tie-in process. Subsequent expansion phase ammonia line tie-ins have occurred without any further ammonia release incidents. Extensive Process Safety Management procedures are in place and integrated within a computerized operations and management system. Individual process Hazard Analyses were conducted for each phase of expansion. The facility is equipped with a Fire Department Ammonia Emergency Control Box with ammonia diffuser and refrigeration stop station and engine room vent control switch. Ammonia detectors in the engine room activate emergency exhaust vents and fans in roof of engine room, and exhaust air is ducted into condenser, water towers for ammonia vapor scrubbing. Ammonia detectors and seismic trip switch will stop all compressors, ammonia pumps, and close all important refrigeration valves in the event of a catastrophic earthquake. 6 Ammonia detectors are located in all refrigerated spaces in order to shut ammonia valves to that area and allow the residual ammonia to be pumped down in the event of a line break or other ammonia release in the cold storage room. Amendments to the Uniform Fire Code required the addition of an ammonia sparge tank in the vicinity of the newly added booster compressor engine room. The 15,000 gallon sparge tank Was allowed to be installed as an underground storage tank throUgh specific approval by the BFD-OES. A maintenance procedure was thoroughly reviewed during the Audit for completeness and technical accuracy. A reference to tightening the Coalescer man way cover bolts Was found to be somewhat ambiguous in the screw Compressor maintenance procedures. Subsequent documentation was provided through the manufacturer and torque values were established in the revised maintenance procedure. Safety relief valves (SRVs) are piped to a scrubber mix tank where ammonia can be absorbed into water and discharged to the Publicly Owned Treatment Works (pOTw). Threaded nipples on the discharge side of the SRV's in the engine room were discovered during the Audit to be galvanized steel. Certain alloys in galvanized steel are incompatible with ammonia and therefore, galvanized steel is not recommended for use in ammonia service applications. This issue is addressed under Section 13, "Preliminary Determinations." 3.0 BACKGROUND 3.1 General Facility and Audit Information United States Cold Storage of California is registered as an active California corporation, number C1076191, filed with the California Secretary of State on May 12, 1981. United States Cold Storage, Bakersfield operates at the fOllowing address: United States Cold Storage, Bakersfield 6501 District Boulevard Bakersfield, CA 93313 Corporation Mailing Address: United States Cold Storage of California 100 Dobbs Lane, Suite 102 Cherry Hill, NJ 08034 Agent for Service: CT Corporation System 818 West Seventh Street Los Angeles, CA 90017 Another parent company is also listed as United States Cold Storage, Incorporated, which shares the same headquarters as United States Cold Storage of California. Both parent companies trade under the name US Cold Storage. United States Cold Storage of California additionally has facilities in Dinuba, Fresno, Oakland, Sacramento, Tracy, Tulare, and Union City within Califomia. The USCS Bakersfield facility, located at 6501 District Boulevard, is the subject of this audit report. 3.2 Purpose of the Audit and .Facility Selection Process The purpose of the audit was to examine the facility's chemical process safety management practices associated specifically with anhydrous ammonia (CAS//7664-41- 7), the regulated substance component of the refrigeration system. The facility was selected for an audit based on verifying completion of the facility's own triennial self- audit requirement, pursuant to Title 19 California Code of Regulations (TI9 CCR), Section 2755.6, as well as maintaining the same level of consistency for performance of regulatory agency oversight audits required of BFD-OES under Section 2775.2 supra. 3.3 Audit Methodology The audit centered on the process areas related to the use of anhydrous ammonia in the refrigeration system at the USCS Bakersfield facility. The audit addressed ammonia hazards, chemical accident prevention (which may include chemicals other than regulated substances under CalARP), process operation and maintenance, hazard evaluation and modeling, release prevention systems, compliance audits, training, accidental release incident investigation, facility emergency preparedness and planning, and community and facility emergency response planning activities. 4.0 FACILITY BACKGROUND INFORMATION USCS Bakersfield is located in a commercial area of southwest Bakersfield locally referred to as the Stockdale Industrial Park. USCS Bakersfield is located at the southwest corner of District Boulevard and Ashe Road. The USCS Bakersfield site occupies parcel # 385-014-08 and is owned by United States Cold Storage of California.. The 20 acre site is bordered on the west by Clean Source a janitorial and paper supply company, on the east by Ashe Road, on the north by District Boulevard and on the south by a railroad spur and a vacant lot. The nearest residential property is on the other side of the vacant lot to the south, approximately one-quarter mile south of the facility. The site is mostly paved in concrete with an office at the northeast corner of the structure and a loading dock facing north along the entire length of the building. Additional office space is located toward the west end of the dock. The Performance Food Group company also utilizes office space in the main office area. The facility can be accessed from either of the main gates off District Boulevard, however only the west gate is currently utilized due to traffic congestion caused by the east gate's proximity to the intersection of District Boulevard and Ashe Road. The original facility building is approximately 10 years old (not including recent additions) and employs 43 persons. The facility is enclosed by a chain link fence. The original construction of Phase I of the USCS Bakersfield facility was conducted in 1993. At the time of original construction, the 1991 Uniform Fire Code was in effect, as adopted by the Bakersfield Fire Department. The requirement under Article 63, Mechanical Refrigeration, at that time was to have a mixing tank to diffuse ammonia at the rate of two gallons of water for each pound of ammonia. USCS Bakersfield complied with this requirement, as well as to have emergency diffusion panel control box and engine room emergency ventilation which exhausts into the condensers .for scrubbing ammonia vapor. The subsequent Phase II expansion in 1997 also Utilized theexisting diffusion mix tank as emergency refrigerant control. Phases III and IV expansions required the additiOn of a remote booster compressor and engine room. This addition required the installation of an ammonia sparge tank. A 15,000 gallon underground storage tank filled with water was allowed to meet the requirements of the Uniform Fire Code for the sparge tank. 5.0 CHEMICAL HAZARDS The primary chemical hazard is 43,823 pounds of anhydrous ammonia contained in the refrigeration system. There is also lubricating, hydraulic and waste oils on site, as well as forklift batteries containing sulfuric acid. 6.0 PROCESS INFORMATION FOR ANHYDROUS AMMONIA 6.1 Storage and Handling Stora~,e Systems Anhydrous ammonia is stored in a closed-loop refrigeration system. There are some minor losses of ammonia during oil draining and air purging activities. Shiooin~ and Receivine The system has one charge re-fill line near the Fire Department emergency control panel. This charge valve is locked and has a check valve installed to prevent ammonia back flow. The Chief or Assistant Engineer must be present to unlock and open the valve to allow the ammonia to be recharged. 6.2' Process Description Overview of Processing Steps This system uses ammonia to cool the storage and freezer rooms. The ammonia is contained in a closed-loop refrigeration systeTM. Ammonia Release Detection Ammonia leak detectors are installed in the penthouses of each cold room, in the loading dock area, and in the engine room. Additionally, leak detectors are installed on the pressure relief valve exhaust header to alarm if a pressure relief valve activates. The detectors are tested annually. 6.3 Process Hazards The concept of the original engineered system was to provide a well-defined method of diluting ammonia for safe disposal in the event of an emergency. The ammonia emergency dump station discharges the ammonia to the Penberthy mixing valve. The valve has both a 3" city water line and a fire department connection. The Penberthy valve is designed to mix 2 gallons of water for each Pound of ammonia and the mixture is drained to the city sewer. This system is a ~manual operation all contained in the existing locked emergency dump valve box. 9 The ammonia relief valve system is designed to utilize the 2500 gallon water tank as a sparge tank with 1000 gallons of water kept in it at all times. Should a relief valve release, the ammonia detector will sense the release and energize the 3" water make-up to the tank. Water will flow at 2 gallons per pound of ammonia. As part of the Phase IV expansion, a new 15,000 gallon underground storage tank was installed for use as a sparge tank to accommodate both the Phase IV and Phase V plant expansions. Relief valve discharge piping is sized and routed in accordance with the Uniform Mechanical Code, sections 1515 through 1517. The threaded nipples on the discharge side of the SRVs were determined during the Audit to be galvanized steel. Certain alloys in galvanized steel are incompatible with ammonia and therefore, galvanized steel is not recommended for use in ammonia service applications. This issue is addressed under Section 13, "Preliminary Determinations." 7.0 CHEMICAL ACCIDENT PREVENTION 7.1 Management Activities USCS utilizes a corporate Process Safety Management Coordinator to help each facility to comply with OSHA and EPA requirements. Corporate Regional and Area Engineers also assist each facility's Chief Engineer with operational issues. The Plant Manager is listed in the RMP document as the operator of the facility. The Chief Engineer is listed as the person responsible for implementing the RMP. 7.2 Standard Operating Procedures Operating procedures are available in the engine room. The revision date of the SOPs is annual which certifies that the procedures are current and accurate. 7.3 Process Operation and Maintenance The refrigeration system is operated and maintained through a computerized control program. The Engineer can monitor and adjust operating conditions from a laptop computer in the engine room control room. 7.4 Equipment Maintenance and Test Schedules Equipment maintenance is also monitored through the computerized control program. 7.5 Hazard Evaluation and Modeling · Several hazard analyses and have been performed at USCS Bakersfield, since 1993, involving the predicted area of vulnerability as a result of a worst or worst creditable case, of an ammonia release. In each case, the results have been reasonably consistent between the previous RMPP and current CalARP RMP, regardless of the specific modeling or toxic endpoints used. The actual estimated endpoint distance will not be recapitulated here. The methodologies used in every case have been validated through documentation of the evaluation results submitted to the BFD-OES. 7.6 Training 10 USCS Bakersfield personnel involved in operating the ammonia system are Refrigerating Engineers and Technicians Association (RETA) certified at the highest skill level. USCS Corporate staff is involved with RETA at the national level and are regarded as industry experts in ammonia refrigeration and process safety management compliance. 7.7 Compliance Audits USCS Bakersfield has performed two compliance self-audits during the period of regulation under the CaIARP program. These audits are conducted using a PI-IA "What- If" Checklist, with recommendations, responsibilities and completion tracking. The checklists are completed by at least three people knowledgeable in the process and reviewed by USCS management staff. It was throUgh the Self-Audit follow-up process that the ambiguity in the screw compressor coalescer man way cover bolt torque procedure was discovered and corrected. 8.0 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE/INCIDENT INVESTIGATION PROCEDURES 8.1 DESCRIPTION OF ACCIDENT On March 15, 1997, during the ammonia line tie-in for the initial Phase II plant expansion, a contract welder cut open a pipe before the Chief Engineer had sufficiently pumped-down the residual ammonia within it. Approximately 150 pounds of ammonia was released. The Bakersfield Fire Department responded and initiated protective action by requiring the surrounding community to shelter-in-place. 8.2 ACCIDENT PREVENTION MEASURES USCS Bakersfield conducted an accident investigation. The proposed change was to reinforce the policy stated in the Process Safety Management (PSM) manual under section 5, Contractors Screening, as it pertains to the Chief Engineer's responsibility during line opening operations. 8.3 ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION PLAN The incident was investigated thoroughly by USCS Bakersfield using the incident investigation procedures referenced in the PSM manual. The contractor responded to the investigation by admitting human error on the part of their General Superintendent for failing to properly coordinate with the Chief Engineer. During the accident investigation, it was further discovered by the BFD-OES that the Safety Review Checklist referenced an IIAR Bulletin No. 107 (2/77) "Suggested Safety and Operating Procedures When · Making Ammonia Refrigeration Plant Tie-Ins." That Bulletin was found to suggest venting ammonia to the atmosphere prior to the tie-in. This was deemed an unacceptable practice in the City of Bakersfield. The IIAR Bulletin No. 107 was revised in 1997 and does not include the reference to venting ammonia to the atmosphere. 9.0 FACILITY EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND PLANNING ACTIVITIES Records on file with the BFD-OES shOw that USCS Bakersfield has had a Hazardous Materials Business Plan and Inventory in effect since the business opened in 1993. 11 10.0 COMMUNITY AND FACILITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANNING ACTIVITIES USCS Bakersfield was required to hold a public meeting to discuss off-site consequence data under the Chemical Safety Information, Site Security and Fuels Regulatory Relief Act (P.L. 106-40). The public meeting was held on January 18, 2000. 11.0 PUBLIC ALERT AND NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES USCS Bakersfield has been notified of the acceptance of the RMP by the BFD-OES and notice of a 45 day public cOmment period was published in the Bakersfield Californian, a newspaper of general circulation, on August 1, 1997. No public comments were received by the BFD-OES during the 45 day review period regarding CG Bakersfield's RMP. Subsequent RMP's and public notice periods have been provided in 1999, 2000, and 2001. No public comments have been received on any subsequent RMP submittals. 12.0 CONCLUSIONS Based on a review of the chemical process safety management practices related specifically to the handling of anhydrous ammonia, the audit team has reached the following conclusions: USCS Bakersfield was originally designed to accommodate future phases .of additions and expansions. USCS Bakersfield, together with USCS corporate and regional staff worked closely with their design engineering firm (Stellar Group) and the City of Bakersfield to ensure the plant satisfied code requirements during initial and subsequent construction. A Risk Management. and Prevention Plan (RMPP) was implemented at the. time of plant start-up in 1993. A three to five-year review of the RMPP was conducted on May 3, 1996. On March 15, 1997, an accidental release of anhydrous ammonia occurred during the ammonia system piping tie-in to the Phase II plant expansion. The investigation determined that the contractor's welder cut into an ammonia line that had not been pumped down sufficiently. Apparently, there was a lack of communication between the contractor and the USCS Chief Engineer as to exactly when the tie-in was safe to occur. Since the March 15, 1997 accident, there have been three additional plant expansion ammonia line tie-ins that have occurred at USCS Bakersfield without further incident. Galvanized threaded nipples on the discharge side of the SRV's in the engine room were discovered during the Audit. Certain alloys in galvanized steel are incompatible with ammonia and therefore, galvanized steel is not recommended for use in ammonia service applications. This issue is addressed under Section 13, "Preliminary Determinations." 13.0 PRELIMINARY DETERMINATIONS Based on the audit team's observations and conclusions, audit team recommendations to the management of USCS Bakersfield include the following: 12 'Correct the deficiency where galvanized piping exists on USCS Bakersfield's ammonia refrigeration system when it is not rated or recommended for ammonia service. The technical basis for this determination is contained in the Uniform Mechanical Code, Section 1110, which states: "Materials used in the construction and installation of refrigeration systems shall be suitable for the refrigerant, refrigerant oil or brine in the system.. Material or equipment which will deteriorate due to the chemical action of the refrigerant or the oil, or combination of both, shall not be installed." Correct the deficiency as to why galvanized piping was allowed to be installed on the USCS Bakersfield ammonia system. The technical basis for this determination is contained in Title 19, California Code of Regulations section 2760.1 (d)(2), which states: "The owner or operator shall document that equipment complies with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices." 14.0 REFERENCES Regulatory correspondence case file, compiled by the Bakersfield Fire Department Office of Environmental Services. 13 ea~ swlt~:-*O~e lamp ~hall zn/iicate flow, tl/e o~er , 1109rl .7 Refrigerant receivers and _s _13~_ jn .d!.'.c~t~. no_fl_O.W ................................ ~ accumulators : mechanical ventilation systems shall be discharged, systems (see Section 1121.0). at least tWenty (20) feet (6096 mm) from a property 1109.1.9 Machinery room fire sprinkler system line or openings into buildings.

The compressor unit should be checked daily for leaks, 'abnormal vibration, noise, proper operation and a Icg maintained. There should be a continuing monitoring of oil quality .,a. nd oil analys s testing. In addition, an analysis of the unit s vibration should be periodica ly made. VIBRATION ANALYSIS Periodic vibration analysis can be useful in detecting bearing wear and other mechanical failures. If vibration analysis is used as a part of your preventive maintenance pro,ram, take the following guidelines into considerationI 1. Always take vibration readings from exactly the same places, at exactly the same percent of Icad. 2. Use vibration readings taken from the new unit at start-up as the base line reference. 3. Evaluate vibration readings carefully as the instrument range and function used can vary. Findings can be easily misinterpreted. 4. Vibration readings can be influenced by other equipment operating in the vicinity or connected to the same piping as the unit. MOTOR BEARINGS Follow motor manufacturer's maintenance recommenda- tions. CAUTION: Make sure motor bearings are properly lubricated before start-up as required by motor manuf- acturer. OIL QUALITY and ANALYSIS High quality refrigeration oil is necessary to insure com- pressor longevity and reliability Oil quality will rapidly deteriorate in refrigeration systems containing moisture and air or other contaminants. In order to insure the quality of the refrigeration oil in the compressor unit follow these recommendations: 1. On y use Frick refrigeration oil or high quality refrigera- tion oils approved by Fr ck Company for your application. 2. participation in a regular periodic oil analysis program may be helpful in maintenance of oil and system integrity. 1/22/03 Task Report (Full List) United States Cold Storage Floating No 600-COMP-C-6 AMMONIA COMPRESSOR !

Instruction Code coal filter Date Last Edited 1/22/03 COALESCER FILTER ELEMENTS refer to frick manual for procedures. Coalescer filter manway is a self-energizing design.( which means the pressure inside the vessel holds the manyway in place, as the pressure increases the force on the manway increases) Therefore , OCMW, the manufacture of the manway does not provide torque values. See page 43 of the frick manual. Baseline value for all compressor manway cover bolts 110 ft/lbs ~an-22-03 10:16A P.02 Man way Cover torque Page I of 2 Mike,Minasian -- From: Steven Brown [steve.brown~york.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 6:00 AM To: Mike Minasian Cc: Russeli Daley Jr; Virgil Jordan Subject: RE: Man way Cover torque Mike, Our typical elliptical access openings (manways) are Usually 11 X 15 or 12 inch x 16 inch. These are supplied by Orange County Metal Works (OCMVV). OCMW uses 1-inch diameter bolts of an unspecified material in their yoke & bolt manways. The secudng apparatus, a yoke and a brace connected by a bott, is not easily verifiable with engineering textbook (e.g. Roark & Young) equations. OCMW was contacted by YORK's Vessel Engineering in 2001 and was told that OCMW does not provide torque values, OCMW states that this type of manway is self- energizing with positive internal pressure, and thus torque values are not necessary, By self-energizing, we mean that with internal pressure, the manway head is held in place by the pressure, and as the pressure increases, more pressure is generated on the head which further seals the head and gasket. See attached picture of a manway which may further clarify this (bolts are on outside of oil separator, ring Is placed In cut ho~e in oll separator head and is then welded to head). Obviously, bolting is necessary to hold the cover in place in the absence of pressure. Based on the above, an attempt to establish a "recommended" practice has not been pursued further. If you are not having trouble, s with the manway assembly, would suggest measuring the torque on the bolts, and using the measured value as a baseline for future use.

This would include the ammonia relief vent system. I checked the current Uniform Mechanical Code for a standard for relief vent pipe. The code does not specify a material other than to say'it should be electric resbtanee welded or seamless pipe and be suitable for the duty. The ANSI/ASHRAK standard 15 for relief vent lines does not specify a material either, though under sec6on 9.11 "Components other than pressure vc~.seb and piping" it specifies a "water side" component be suitable for IS0 PSIG or double the working pressure. ! think this indicates the codes prefer to avoid proscribing specific materials in favor of industry standards In the refrigeration industry the relief vent lines have been installed using either standard galvanized pipe or standard black pipe- Both are clectric resistance welded so they meet the specification of the code. Both have been used in many parts of the county for years. Even with all the extra attention given to relief vent lines in the latest codes and standards, they do not specifically say to use one material or another, other than what is mentioned above.

Other (Specify): Executive Summary 09/01/1993 10/01/1994 05/20/1999 United States Cold Storage, Inc. is committed to the safe operation of all our facilities to protect our workers, the public and the environment. This is accomplished to a great extent by a well developed, up-to-date and implemented Risk Management Program. All USCS facilities shall operate in a prudent and safe manner. It shall be the responsibility of the plant manager to ensure that all procedures are followed as set forth in our Risk Mana.qement and Process Safety Mana,qement pro.qrams. In the unlikely event of an accidental release it is 3/9/2001 2:33:21 PM Page 9 of 11 Facility 3/9/2001 Name: United States Cold Storage, Bakersfield USCS policy to immediately call the National Response Center, Local Emergency Response Committee, the local Fire Department and other agency(les) that may be required. All USCS facilities will have an emergency response team to assist these agency(les). · United States Cold Storage, Bakersfield, is a public refrigerated warehouse that uses anhydrous ammonia as a refrigerant in a closed loop system. Anhydrous ammonia, most commonly known as ammonia, is an excellent refrigerant and is commonly used in most of the world's industrial refrigeration systems. Ammonia has an excellent warning property, its odor. Ammonia's odor is familiar to most people due to the fact that it is commonly used in household cleaning solutions. Ammonia can be detected as Iow as 5 parts per million (PPM) · and has an average life span of 7 days in the environment before it breaks down to its common elements nitrogen and hydrogen. Typical items stored within USCS facilities are raw or processed food items that can be found in your supermarket or local restaurant. Temperatures range between -30 degrees to +45 degrees F. The refrigeration equipment and piping are located throughout the facility. The condensers and related piping are on the machine room roof with the piping to and from the freezers, coolers, truck and rail docks located on the warehouse and dock roofs. The machine room contains most of the large refrigeration machinery and vessels. In an unlikely event of a refrigerant leak in a refrigerated space, the ammonia vapor would be contained inside the space, due to the vapor tight construction of the facility. It then may be treated and/or vented under controlled conditions. The facility is equipped with ammonia detectors throughout to help lessen any leaks that might occur and to provide an early alert. USCS believes that prevention is foremost. All of USCS facilities are maintained by a.staff of trained maintenance personnel. Most of these people are members of the Refrigerating Engineers and Technicians Association (RETA) and all Chief Engineers are members of the International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration (ILAR) and hold a RETA Certification Level A. USCS has on staff at the corporate level an OSHA and EPA coordinator/trainer who is a certified OSHA Instructor. All facilities comply with OSHA's Process Safety Management without regard to the ammonia threshold quantity. All the vessels and piping have been installed according to ASME vessel and piping codes and applicable local Building, Fire and Mechanical Codes. The Bakersfield facility was engineered and built to a Seismic 4 Earthquake Code. The facility's emergency response program is based on the OSHA requirements for 29 CFR 1910.38- Emergency Action Plan, OSHA's 1910.119, Process Safety Management and 1910.120 HAZVVOPER standards. We have trained employess for emergency response and maintain a written emergency response plan. FIVE-YEAR ACCIDENT HISTORY: The USCS Bakersfield facility has been operating at this location for the past 5 years. Within that history the facility has seen one refrigerant releases. OFFSlTE CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS: Worst-case release scenario analysis: As required by law under Title 19, Public Safety, Chapter 4.5 California Accidental Release Prevention Program, Section 2750.3, and 40 CFR Part 68.25, Worst-case release scenario analysis, an analysis was prepared for the Bakersfield facility. The United States Environmental Protection Agency's Risk Management Comp computer program for Ammonia was used for this analysis. This worst-case release scenario is estimated to create the greatest distance in any direction to an endpoint of 200 ppm from the accidental release of anhydrous ammonia used as a refrigerant in a closed-loop refrigeration system. The quantity release was based on a '¥Vorst-case" release scenario for a toxic gas liquified under pressure that is normally a gas at ambient temperature. The release was generated from the facility's Higt~ Pressure Receiver. Releasing 724 pounds per minute for a 10 minute period with passive mitigation system in place, inside a facility. The Bakersfield facility has offsite consequence. The dispersion analysis used a wind speed of 1.5 meters per second and an "F" atmospheric stability class. With an ambient temperature of 77 degrees F (25C) and a relative humidity of 50%. Using a release height at ground level and a surface roughness class of Urban. Dense gas was used for gas density. Alternative Release Scenario Analysis: As required by law under 40 CFR Part 68.28, Alternative release scenario analysis was prepared for the facility. The United States Environmental Protection Agency's Risk Management Comp computer program was used for this analysis. This alternative release scenario is estimated to create a distance to reach off-site in any direction to an endpoint of 200 ppm from an accidental release of ammonia used as a refrigerant in a closed-loop refrigeration system. The Bakersfield facility has offsite consequence. The alternative release scenario was a mechanical seal failure on an ammonia r~um~ for the I&w temr)erat, ur~ 2:33:21 PM Page 10 of 11 Facility Name: United States Cold Storage, Bakersfield pump receiver. The mechanical seal failure was identified through the review of our process hazard analysis (PHA) for the Bakersfield facility's What-If Study. The failure Scenario was identified under Subsystem(s) #17, Low Temperature Pump Receiver, question #3. Passive mitigation system was in p!ace, the release took place inside the facility. The following administrative controls are in place: Engine room log is maintained with visual checks of all of the equipment including the amonia pumps. Oil that is added to the refrigeration equipment is noted on the Daily Engine Room Log. Annual preventive maintenance of the refrigeration equipment includes the ammonia pumps. Housekeeping of the engine room area includes wiping up and investigating oil leaks and moping the floors on a daily to weekly bases. The second PHA recently performed for this facility produced no recommendations to improve safety. However the first PHA produced 7 recommendations to improve safety at the Bakersfield facility. Such recommendation included training, installation of new mitigation equipment.

Other (Specify): Executive Summary United States Cold Storage, Inc. is committed to the safe operation of all our facilities to protect our workers, the public and the environment. This is accomplished to a great extent by a well developed, up-to-date and implemented Risk Management Program. All USCS facilities shall operate in a prudent and safe manner. It shall be the responsibility of the plant manager to ensure that all procedures are followed as set forth in our Risk Manaqement and Process Safety Mana,qement pro.qrams. In the unlikely event of an accidental release it is 12/5/2000 10:35:30 AM Page 9 of 11 Facility Name: United States Cold Storage, Bakersfield USCS policy to immediately call the National Response Center, Local Emergency Response Committee, the local Fire Department and other agency(les) that may be required. Ail USCS facilities will have an emergency response team to assist these agency(les). United States Cold Storage, Bakersfield, is a public refrigerated warehouse that uses anhydrous ammonia as a refrigerant in a closed loop system. Anhydrous ammonia, most commonly known as ammonia, is an excellent refrigerant and is commonly used in most of the world's industrial refrigeration systems. Ammonia has an excellent warning property, its odor. Ammonia's odor is familiar to most people due to the fact that it is commonly used in household cleaning solutions. Ammonia can be detected as Iow as 5 parts per million (PPM) and has an average life span of 7 days in the environment before it breaks down to its common elements nitrogen and hydrogen. Typical items stored within USCS facilities are raw or processed food items that can be found in your supermarket or local restaurant. Temperatures range between -30 degrees to +45 degrees F. The refrigeration equipment and piping are located throughout the facility. The condensers and related piping are on the machine room roof with the piping to and from the freezers, coolers, truck and rail docks located on the warehouse and dock roofs. The machine room contains most of the large refrigeration machinery and vessels. In an unlikely event of a refrigerant leak in a refrigerated space, the ammonia vapor would be contained inside the space, due to the vapor tight construction of the facility. It then may be treated and/or vented under controlled conditions. The facility is equipped with ammonia detectors throughout to help lessen any leaks that might occur and to provide an early alert. USCS believes that prevention is foremost. All of USCS facilities are maintained by a staff of trained maintenance personnel. Most of these people are members of the Refrigerating Engineers and Technicians Association (RETA) and all Chief Engineers are members of the International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration (ILAR) and hold a RETA Certification Level A. USCS has on staff at the corporate level an OSHA and EPA coordinator/trainer who is a certified OSHA Instructor. All facilities comply with OSHA's Process Safety Management without regard to the ammonia threshold quantity. All the vessels and piping have been installed according to ASME vessel and piping codes and applicable local Building, Fire and Mechanical Codes. The Bakersfield facility was engineered and built to a Seismic 4 Earthquake Code. The facility's emergency response program is based on the OSHA requirements for 29 CFR 1910.38- Emergency Action Plan, OSHA's 1910.119, Process Safety Management and 1910.120 HAZWOPER standards. We have trained employess for emergency response and maintain a written emergency response plan. FIVE-YEAR ACCIDENT HISTORY: The USCS Bakersfield facility has been operating at this location for the past 5 years. Within that history the facility has seen one refrigerant releases. OFFSITE CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS: Worst-case release scenario analysis: As required by law under Title 19, Public Safety, Chapter 4.5 California Accidental Release Prevention Program, Section 2750.3, and 40 CFR Part 68.25, Worst-case release scenario analysis, an analysis was prepared for the Bakersfield facility. The United States Environmental Protection Agency's Risk Management Comp computer program for Ammonia was used for this analysis. This worst- case release scenario is estimated to create the greatest distance in any direction to an endpoint of 200 ppm from the accidental release of anhydrous ammonia used as a refrigerant in a closed-loop refrigeration system. The quantity release was based on a '~Vorst-case" release scenario for a toxic gas liquified under pressure that is normally a gas at ambient temperature. The release was generated from the facility's High Pressure Receiver. Releasing 724 pounds per minute for a 10 minute period with passive mitigation system in place, inside a facility. The Bakersfield facility has offsite consequence. The dispersion analysis used a wind speed of 1.5 meters per second and an "F" atmospheric stability class. With an ambient temperature of 77 degrees F (25C) and a relative humidity of 50%. Using a release height at ground level and a surface roughness class of Urban. Dense gas was used for gas density. Alternative Release Scenario Analysis: As required by law under 40 CFR Part 68.28, Alternative release scenario analysis was prepared for the facility. The United States Environmental Protection Agency's Risk Management Comp computer program was used for this analysis. This alternative release scenario is estimated to create a distance to reach off-site in any direction to an endpoint of 200 ppm from an accidental release of ammonia used as a refrigerant in a closed-loop refrigeration system. The Bakersfield facility has offsite consequence. The alternative release scenario was a mechanical seal failure on an ammonia DUmD for the Iow temoerature Pagel0of 11 12/5/2000 10:35:30 AM Facility Name: United States Cold Storage, Bakersfield pump receiver. The mechanical seal failure was identified through the review of our process hazard analysis (PHA) for the Bakersfield facility's What-If Study. The failure scenario was identified under Subsystem(s) #17, Low Temperature Pump Receiver, question #3. Passive mitigation system was in place, the release took place inside the facility. The following administrative controls are in place: Engine room log is maintained with visual checks of all of the equipment including the amonia pumps. Oil that is added to the refrigeration equipment is noted on the Daily Engine Room Log. Annual preventive maintenance of the refrigeration equipment includes the ammonia pumps. Housekeeping of the engine room area includes wiping up and investigating oil leaks and moping the floors on a daily to weekly bases. The second PHA recently performed for this facility produced no recommendations to improve safety. However the first PHA produced 7 recommendations to improve safety at the Bakersfield facility. Such recommendation included training, installation of new mitigation equipment. RMP Validation Errors --- No Data To Report 12/5/2000 10:35:30 AM Page 11 of 11 Urged States Cold Storag nc.

The RMP audit will .involve the following activities: A pre-audit coordination meeting at the facility which will include a review of supporting documentation related to the R/VIP, as well as photographs to be taken by this office to document safety practices and accidental release mitigation systems on site. Pre-planning facility tours involving all three shifts of fire department personnel likely to respond to any chemical emergency at the site. One of these tours will necessarily involve a routine compliance inspection for all aspects related to the Unified Program- for hazardous materials and hazardous wastes, not just the RMP. A written "Preliminary Determination'' issued to the facility by this office documenting the results of the RMP audit, inclhding any necessary revisions to the RMP to ensure compliance with CalARP regulations. The Preliminary Determination will include an explanation of the basis for the revisions, if any, including a timetable for their implementation. An Audit Checklist is enclosed for your benefit. CalARP regulations require that the facility itself perform its own audit at least once every three years. By conducting and documenting your own RMP audit, you will have satisfied not only a required RMP element, but Will also have adequately prepared for the forthcoming regulatory 1LMP audit to be conducted by this office pursuant to this notice.

In addition to the above, Dean indicated that you wanted a brief description of how the multiple phases of the facility function. Chuck Taylors' letter to you dated August 8, 2000 explained the original system concept in which a mixing valve is used in combination with a 2500 gallon surge tank. The new Phase IV at Bakersfield is an extension of the original ammonia refrigeration system. As a result of the physical location of the Phase IV expansion it was decided to install a remote compressor room that would be physically connected and operate in conjunction with the original compressor room. By virtue of its remote location it was de~ided to install a 15,000 gallon underground storage tank. This tank was sized for the current and future expansion to the facility. This calculation was previously forwarded to you with the August 8 letter. All safety relief valves as well as emergency diffusion panel from the remote compressor room are piped to the underground tank for absorption at a rate of 1 gallon per pound of ammonia as required in Section 6309 of the 1998 California Fire Code. 2900 Hartley Road, Jacksonville, Florida 32257 · Telephone (904) 260-2900 www.thestel largrou p.com Mr. Howard Wines, II!

TANK ENTRY 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) Initial tank entry is not to be performed until oxygen and flammable vapor concentration measurements have been made at the access opening over all levels of the tank. -Oxygen must be between 19.5% and 23.5%. -Flammable vapor concentrations must not be greater than 5% of the LEL. ZConstant ventilation must be provided during entry. Walking through or standing in liquid residual product is not an acceptable practice. Oil absorbent material is introduced through the access opening to dry any visible liquids immediately below the access opening.' The ladder used for entry must be made of non-sparking materials. The minimum personal protective equipment ensemble must include: SCBA or air-supplied respirator with escape SCBA Chemical boots Chemical gloves Oil resistant coveralls treated to reduce static Harness and Lifeline ' Hard hat (if not part of respirator hood) If the tank.is greater than 5 feet in diameter, the life line must be attached to a mechanical means for retrieval. The minimum number of people necessary to perform entry is three: The Entrant An Attendant (Standby Person) A Supervisor Appropriate monitoring instruments are used to determine that acceptable air monitoring readings are obtained throughout the tank, drying any liquid residual product which remains in the tank with additional oil absorbent. 8) 9) Once the atmosphere has been confirmed to be within acceptable limits, a non-sparking shovel and buckets are used to remove any residual product. Oil absorbent is swept around the tank to further dry the tank surface. (. ABRASIVE BLASTING Surface preparation is the single most important aspect of any coating work. The thicker the coating to be applied, the more important surface preparation becomes. There are two 'categories of surface preparation which need to be considered: -Degree of Surface Cleaning -Anchor Profile Degree of Surface Cleaning: The application of a tank lining material to the walls of a steel underground storage tank requires a white metal surface. A white metal surface is a surface that, when viewed without magnification, is flee of all rust scale, oil residues, mill scale, coatings and debris. The metal should have a consistent gray appearance with very little, if any, staining. Factors which influence blast cleaning are: -Tank Condition -Surface Area Size -Experience of Personnel ,Type of Abrasive Used -Amount of Abrasive Used Anchor Profile: Anchor profiling results from the impact of the abrasive on the metal surface, producing a rough surface texture. This rough surface texture allows the tank lining to better adhere to the tank by preventing lateral movement and by increasing the surface area of lining material/metal interface. In order to achieve the anchor profile necessary for tank lining, there are two factors to consider: -Abrasive Size -Nozzle Pressure * Tank lining requires an abrasive with a minimum 18 mesh grit size. * The minimum nozzle pressure for blasting is 90 PSIG. * The abrasives typically come in 100 pound bags.

As we discussed, we requested the meeting to discuss alternate designs and considerations for the ammonia diffusion tank associated with the construction of the machine room annex for the expansion at the above referenced project. Since our meeting, we are in receipt of your letter to Dean Garcia dated July 21, 2000. Below please find comments and responses to this letter. 1. The original system, approved in 1992, was an "engineered" system developed very closely with your office to meet or exceed all aspects of the code and was in fact designed for all phases of the project. The concept of the original engineered system was to provide a well-defined method of diluting the ammonia for safe removal. The ammonia emergency dump station discharges the ammonia to a' Penberthy mixing valve. The valve has both a 3" city water line and a fire department connection. The Penberthy valve is designed to mix 2 gallons of water for each pound of ammonia, which is twice the delusion rate required today and the mixture is drained to the ~ sanitary sewer. This system is a manual operation all contained in the existing locked emergency dump box. The ammonia relief valve system is designed to utilize the 2500 gallon water tank as a surge tank with 1000 gallons of water kept in it at all times. Should a relief valve release, the ammonia detector will sense a release, energize the 3" water makeup to the ~ank. Water will flow again at a rate of 2 gallons per pound of ammonia; The typical release is less than a minute and will be contained in the tank. If there is a significant release the water will overflow from the tank and drain to the sanitary sewer system. This system is tested quarterly as part of USCS's process safety management plan and well documented. 2900 Hartley Road, Jacksonville, Florida 32257 · Telephone (904) 260-2900 www.thestellargroup.com Mr. Howard Wines, III Hazardous.

At the May meeting, I asked for a comprehensive analySis of the diffusion capability of the US Cold Storage plant, in light of recent, current, and future expansionsl Will the existing ammonia mix tank be capable of handling the increase of ammonia in the system due to the expansions? To what extent will the new proposed underground diffusion contribute to this capacity? Will that be sufficient for even future expansions? I want to see some calculations on this to insure that the ammonia diffusion capability of the plant is' still keepingup with all phases of expansion. In reference to Article 63 of the Califomia Uniform Fire Code (UFC), (1998 ed.) (excerpts attached) adopted as amended under Bakersfield Municipal Code, Ch. 15.64, I will need to see manufacturer's specifications on the' underground tank indicating the structural equivalent per 6309, and/or Underwriter's Laboratory (UL) or equivalent approved rating for underground service with hazardous substances. Also, 6309 speCifies that piping connections shall be through the top of the tank, not through the end of the tank as shown on the drawing.
