ANNEX E TO SAFB PLAN 705
RESTORATION

Once cleanup has been initiated, restoration activities must begin. It is the responsibility of the Air Force to
return the environment to its original (pre-spill) condition. This annex includes the following appendices:

Appendix 1 - Site Restoration

Appendix 2 - Fuel Spill Cleanup Funding

Appendix 3 - Recovery of Damages and Enforcement

APPENDIX 1 TO ANNEX E TO SAFB PLAN 705
SITE RESTORATION

1. Recovery actions are activities in support of cleanup and site remediation. Restoration of the area is a long-
range project coordinated through the environmental flight, but restoration steps should be undertaken as soon
as possible. Specific considerations should be given to the mitigation of damages to the environment. The
general guideline for restoration of a site is to identify the background levels currently in the environment and
clean the contaminated area to that level. Closure to other criteria is permitted only when funding is not
sufficient for total restoration.

2. If the hazardous substance incident no longer poses a threat to life, property or mission, it now becomes a
clean-up operation and upon determination by the IC can be turned over to the environmental flight. The IC’s
role can become supportive in nature.

3. Restoration efforts include:

    a. Re-seeding areas damaged by a spill, replacing contaminated soil, restocking fish in affected streams,
replanting vegetation and reshaping drainage ditches.

    b. Assessment of environmental impact.

    c. Emergency equipment must be restored to full operational status. Any contaminated equipment must
be decontaminated and/or replaced. Chemical protective clothing must be tested to ensure it is reusable and
appropriate documentation must be completed.

     d. If contaminants come in contact with places where humans are likely to be affected, the area should be
tested for contamination. Appropriate steps must be taken if animals are in contact with a hazardous material.

    e. The IC will investigate the cause of the emergency and take steps to prevent a recurrence of such
incidents.

                                                                                Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas
                                                                                                   1 Nov 2005


APPENDIX 2 TO ANNEX E TO SAFB PLAN 705
FUEL SPILL CLEANUP FUNDING

1. Under Phase II of DoD's Integrated Material Management Program for fuel, the Defense Energy Supply
Center (DESC) assumes responsibility for funding clean-up costs for spills of DESC-owned fuel. To insure
appropriate funding for these spill cleanups, a timely spill incident report must be provided to DESC and the
appropriate Defense Fuel Region (DFR). DESC and the appropriate DFR must be included as addressees on
the spill incident reports required by individual services.

2. Following are actions to ensure proper reimbursement for these types of spills:

    a. The IC will make best-judgment decisions on actions to be taken to deal with immediate spill cleanup.
Costs involved in immediate cleanup will be submitted to DESC subsequent to the action for reimbursement.
To ensure that accounts are tracked appropriately, the environmental flight will request a specific tracking code
be established through the resources flight and that the operations flight establish a work order number.

    b. After immediate emergency clean-up action is underway, the environmental flight must ascertain
whether in-depth remediation will be required, such as remediating contaminated soil. The DESC has
expertise in remediation of oil spill sites and may be able to provide advice on the methodology for the most
expeditious, cost-effective cleanup of any spill. A plan for remediation and estimated costs must be submitted
to DESC prior to commitment to a project. This can be accomplished by submitting a DD Form 1391 to
DESC, through service channels, and DFR offices. The DESC will review and provide funds for this in-depth
cleanup.

3. Total remediation of a spill must occur in a timely manner. Delays can result in more extensive
contamination and more costly cleanups. The DESC will not accept requests for funds for in-depth
remediation that is not promptly initiated after the spill is identified.

APPENDIX 3 TO ANNEX E TO SAFB PLAN 705
RECOVERY OF DAMAGES AND ENFORCEMENT

This spill response stage includes the recovery for damage to Federal property and the collection of
scientific and technical information.

1. Responsibilities:

     a. SAFB is responsible for recovery, cleanup and restoration costs for spills caused by the base.
If the cleanup is accomplished by another federal agency, SAFB will reimburse that agency.

     b. For non-Air Force spills where the Air Force furnishes assistance to the RRT, SAFB would
furnish assistance, providing mission performance is not degraded. Reimbursement for expenditures
will be sought from the organization requesting the assistance. If spill response is in support of a spill
of unknown origin, reimbursement may be requested from funds established for this purpose and
managed by the US Coast Guard.

    c. Procedures for recovering costs associated with the cleanup of materials caused by government
contractors include, but are not limited to:

        (1) Air Force labor

        (2) Equipment dispatched to contain/clean up the spill

        (3) Recovery drums and associated supply costs

2. Enforcement: The Air Force will defer any enforcement actions to the appropriate RRT for a
determination of responsibility and requirement for legal actions.

3. Scientific and Technical Information: All data and samples collected during a spill response will
be assembled by the environmental flight and made available to the scientific community or to the
RRT for use in enforcement or legal actions.
