GROUND RULES Raise your hand Wait for the microphone Do not interrupt anyone speaking One question limit only Allow the panel the opportunity to answer the question Questions and answers will be posted on our web site, mailed to community members on the mailing list and briefly addressed at the next meeting in March 2014 here at the NRV Business Center.

GENERAL RFAAP INFO 5 Current Operating Contractor-BAE Systems Constructed in August of completed in 9 months at a cost of $40M Located on two sites - 6,821 Acres - Over 2,000 Buildings (active and inactive) Ammo storage buildings Personnel: 1 Military, 20 DA Civilians, 700 (+) contractors – peaked at 23,000 during WWII 15 Armament Retooling and Manufacturing Support Act (ARMS) tenants, 1 Government tenant Significant Infrastructure - 16M gallons/day of filtered water (capacity up to 40M) - 3M gallons/day of drinking water M pounds of steam - 59 miles of water lines - 67 miles of steam lines - Coal fired power house - 580K KWH/day of electricity, ½ of the Plant’s requirements miles of roadway – 33 miles of rail lines Government Housing Area

PAST QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Incinerator and Burning Grounds Usage Does BAE burn waste from ATK, Grucci Fireworks, and other tenants at the OBG? Is that waste from ATK the result of manufacturing ammunition for the commercial market, not the military? BAE Systems is responsible for thermally treating all energetic material waste at RFAAP, including any tenant operations that create energetic waste. Incinerator OBG Incinerator

Radford Army Ammunition Plant PWSID # Consumer Confidence Report (Water Quality Report) Contaminants in your drinking water are routinely monitored according to Federal and State regulations. The table on the next page shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1 st to December 31 st, In the table and elsewhere in this report you will find many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. The following definitions are provided to help you better understand these terms: Non-detects (ND) - lab analysis indicates that the contaminant is not present Action Level - the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

WATER QUALITY RESULTS Regulated Contaminants Contaminant (units) MCLGMCL Level Detected Violation (Y/N) RangeDate of Sample Typical Source of Contamination Nitrate + Nitrite (ppm) NND – Runoff from fertilizer use; Leaching from septic tanks, sewage; Erosion of natural deposits Alpha Emitters (pCi/L) N0.52 – Erosion of Natural Deposits Combined Radium (pCi/L) N0.65 – Erosion of Natural Deposits Chlorine (ppm)MRDLG = 4MRDL = 41.6N1.0 – Water additive used to control microbes TOC [Total Organic Carbon] NA TT, met when  1; or when alternative compliance criteria is met* 0.56*N0.56 – Naturally present in the environment HAA5s [Haloacetic Acids] (ppb) NA6034N7.4 – By-product of drinking water disinfection TTHMs [Total Trihalomethanes] (ppb) NA8036N6.3 – By-product of drinking water disinfection Turbidity (NTU)NA TT, 1 NTU Max0.22NNA 2012Soil runoff TT, ≤0.3 NTU 95% of the time 100%NN/A Barium (ppm) N – /24/2012 Discharge of drilling wastes; Discharge from metal refineries; Erosion of natural deposits Fluoride (ppm) 44120N /10/2012 Erosion of natural deposits; Water additive which promotes strong teeth Total Coliform Bacteria 0 1 positive monthly sample 1 positiveNNA2012 Naturally present in the environment

WATER QUALITY RESULTS Lead and Copper Contaminants Contaminant (unit)MCLGAction Level90 th PercentileDate of Sampling # of Sampling Sites Exceeding Action Level Typical Source of Contamination Lead (ppb)0AL = Corrosion of household plumbing systems; Erosion of natural deposits Copper (ppm)1.3AL = Corrosion of household plumbing systems; Erosion of natural deposits; Leaching from wood preservatives RAAP Bldg. 419 water system had a minimum TOC removal ratio (using the four quarter running annual averages) of 0.56 during the 4th quarter of However, the average treated water TOC was 0.64 mg/L for the 4 th quarter running annual average. Therefore, the RAAP Bldg. 419 waterworks was in compliance with the treatment technique for control of disinfection byproduct precursors by meeting one of the alternative compliance criteria – having treated water TOC < 2.0 mg/L calculated quarterly as a running annual average. The water quality results in the above table are from testing done in However, the state allows us to monitor for some contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. Some of our data, though accurate, is more than one year old. MCL VIOLATION INFORMATION No MCL violations for any contaminants occurred during the time period of January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 at the Radford Army Ammunition Plant Bldgs 419 and 474 as described in the Commonwealth of Virginia/State Board of Health Waterworks Regulations. OTHER VIOLATION INFORMATION No other violations occurred during the time period of January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 at the Radford Army Ammunition Plant Bldgs 419 and 474 as described in the Commonwealth of Virginia/State Board of Health Waterworks Regulations.
