FINAL – OPSEC/ITAR REVIEW - 12 SEP 2013
Citizens’ Advisory Commission Meeting
Operational Readiness Review (ORR) The Road to Initial Agent Operations
Presented by: Paul Dent, PCAPP ORR Manager
Briefing Objective
Provide an overview of the PCAPP Operational Readiness Review (ORR) process and the incremental approach to be used to assess readiness for Initial Agent Operations (IAO)
4
Operational Readiness Review Overview
The ORR process is used to validate that PCAPP “plant, paper, and people” collectively meet the required criteria to allow a new operation to begin.
PCAPP ORR process is led by the system-contractor (SC) to support a declaration of readiness.
ACWA provides ORR oversight; independent validation is used to support the SC’s declaration of readiness.
Stakeholders may observe the ORR process.

Readiness
The goal of Systemization is to achieve readiness for Initial Agent Operations.
Stages of an ORR
Planning: Define Scope of ORR in an Implementing Procedure using Performance
Objectives and Criteria (PO&Cs) Identify Responsible Managers and pool of Independent Reviewers Charter the ORR Board
Execution: Responsible Managers define how readiness is achieved using affidavits Independent reviewers conduct interviews, review documents, and observe
field work to assess the degree of compliance with readiness requirements ORR Board reviews documentation to assess readiness “Punchlist items” are defined as findings and tracked to closure Usually ends after an Integrated Operations Demonstration (IOD) to
exercise and assess plant, paper, and people functioning together
7
ORR Planning
PO&Cs are requirements for readiness, defined in cascading levels of detail
Derived from contract defined requirements, such as:• Safety/environmental regulations (e.g., OSHA, RCRA, CAA)
• Army regulations and guidance (e.g., AR 50-6, DA PAM 385-61)
• Industry standards (e.g., ANSI, NFPA)
Developed by responsible managers and the ORR Team
Reviewed by ACWA and stakeholders
Approved by issuance of an ORR implementing procedure

Level 3 CriterionA specific statement describing an element of readiness within a performance objective (e.g., “A process is in place to notify key treaty personnel when applying or removing treaty seals, to track treaty sealing information, and protocols are established for treaty seal application and removal. Treaty seals have been applied to the agreed upon doors/areas/equipment.“)
Level 2 Performance Objectives (POs)A statement describing an aspect or area of readinesswithin a functional area (e.g., “Treaty requirements are in place for initial agent operations.“)
Level 1 Functional AreasTypically follow organizational lines (e.g., Safety, Lab)

Number of criteria subject to change through implementing procedure review process
Integrated Operations Demonstrations (IOD)
Near the end of ORR, integrated operations demonstrations (IODs) are performed to validate that people, plant, and paper are ready for initial agent operations.
IODs include exercises such as: Receive, transfer, and process munitions
Handle, transfer, and process simulated agent-contaminated waste
Perform toxic area entries; perform maintenance for critical equipment
Sample tanks/perform laboratory analysis
Perform treaty sampling
Respond to contingencies or equipment upset conditions
Upon successful completion of IODs and closeout of required Findings, SC will declare readiness.
Upon receipt of an endorsement of readiness by ACWA, PCAPP will be poised to begin Pilot Testing.

An Overview of PCAPP’s Pilot Demonstration Testing
Presented by: Kim Jackson, PCAPP Operations Manager & George Lecakes, PCAPP Chief Scientist
PCAPP Pilot Test DemonstrationObjectives1
1. Demonstrate agent removal, agent neutralization, and related agent neutralization sampling and analysis.
2. Demonstrate munition body treatment (washout, thermal treatment).
3. Establish bounding operating ranges and set points for operating parameters critical to agent removal, munition body treatment, and agent neutralization operations.
4. Demonstrate energetics removal and establish bounding operating ranges and set points for operating parameters critical to ensuring energetics removal operations.
5. Validate monitoring protocols for all equipment and work areas in the ERB and APB.
6. Validate treatment and monitoring protocols for disposition of dunnage, energetics, and miscellaneous waste (e.g., OPP, PME, SDU, Autoclave as designated for each waste material)
7. Demonstrate removal of TDG and document removal of other organic compounds from hydrolysate waste stream (e.g., ICB, BRS)
