SAFETY /

ENVIRONMENTAL

RECORD

Todays Safety ThoughtIts important to evaluate

and manage risks at work

(and home). A hazard is any-

thing that can cause harm.

Risk is the chance that

someone will be harmed by

those hazards. Guard

against these four common

human failures that can lead

to injuries: Slip up (taking

the wrong action, such as

pushing the wrong button),

lapse (lack of attention or

mistakes caused by poor

memory), mistake (an error

of diagnosis or not under-

standing a situation) and vi-

olation (a deliberate breach

of rules).

URS currently is beingtargeted in an aggres-sive phishing attack,

which is sending fraudulentemail messages related to vari-ous types of package delivery.

The messages use authen-

tic-looking logos and colorschemes of companies, suchas FedEx, UPS, and DHL.Most commonly, the messageadvises the user that there wasa problem with the delivery ofa package, and then providesa link or button to verify de-tails of the delivery or to printa label that can be used to re-trieve the package from theshipping company.

If you receive one of thesemessages, please do not clickon any links or attachments.Instead, forward the messageas an attachment to phish-ing@urs.com. In addition, ifyou doubt the authenticity ofany message you receive, weencourage you to forward themessage as an attachment tophishing@urs.com for analy-

sis.

For further guidance andtips for recognizing fraudulentpackage delivery messages,please refer to our recent arti-cle on the Information

about

URS issues warning about phishing attacks

UMCDF personnel who

take walks on their

breaks or lunch

period should restrict

their routes to the

area around the up-

per mods and parking

lots, and around the

PSB.

J Block, Badger

Road and the area east of

the ASB and PEC are off lim-

its to walkers as a safety pre-

caution due to heavy

truck traffic during

demolition.

In addition, UMCDF

employees are re-

minded that jogging

and running on site

are not allowed.

Be safe!

Walkers should stay near the mods

Protocol will provide a

weekly update of de-

molition progress that

compares six views of the

plant with the same views

before demolition work be-

gan.

You can access the photos

- which will be updated

Thursday afternoons - on the

Protocol web site.

Open the Protocol site,click on the Visuals link,

then on Demolition photos.

To view the comparison pho-

tos open the PDF titled

Weekly demo update.

The views are from the

four corners, and the north

and east sides.

In the same folder as the

Areport issued thismonth from theDepartment of

Defense Inspector Generalsoffice concluded that environ-

mental cleanup has delayedland transfers and increasedcosts at ammunition plantsand chemical depots includedin the 2005 round of BaseRealignment and Closure(BRAC).

The Umatilla ChemicalDepot was one of six sites re-viewed for the report. The re-port says that Army officials

are still identifying the extentof the necessary cleanup, sothey are not yet able to deter-mine the length of the delaysor the costs of cleanup.

At the Umatilla ChemicalDepot officials have encoun-tered asbestos and lead paintin old buildings.Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA) officials toldauditors that the buildings arenot a problem unless they aredemolished, as contaminantswould then migrate to thesoil. But the buildings have

gone without maintenance formore than 20 years and areno longer usable. The localdevelopment authority for theOregon chemical depot does-

n't have the funding to cleanup the property, the reportsays.

The audit was initiated inresponse to language con-tained in the report of theCommittee on Appropriationsaccompanying H.R. 5854(House Report 112-491), theMilitary Construction,Veterans Affairs, and Related

Agencies Appropriations Bilfor FY 2013. The auditsought to determine ifchanges in requirements oradditional laws contributed

increased costs and delays inclean up and transfer.In addition to Umatilla,

the audit team looked atRiverbank Army AmmunitioPlant in California, theKansas, Mississippi and LonStar (Texas) ArmyAmmunition Plants, and theNewport Chemical Depot inIndiana.

DOD audit shows cleanup has delayed BRAC tranfers

DEMOLITION SEQUENCE- Three of the MDB HVAC filtershave been leveled so far (above). A Tarping Station (below)

has been establ ished in the OWM storage area to prepare thetrucks of demol ition waste bound for the Arl ington landfill.The map at right shows the sequence NW Demolition will

follow. Following demo of the MDB, PAS and f ilter units, thecontractor will take down the south edge of the CHB (2),

Thank you for your pa-tience while UMCDF

works to regulate the wa-

ter system.

The sites potable water

system serves the CLA, PSB,

ASB, PEC, MLM, Mods 9 and

10, the ice House and sprung

structure. The depots potable

water system serves all the

upper mods except 9 and 10.

With the recent reductions

in force, we havent been us-

ing the amount of water the

systems were designed to

handle. As a result, our water

system will continue to need

our help.

Please continue to allow

the selected faucets through-

out the site to flow (on cold)

as they have for the past

week. Engineering will contin-

ue to perform daily and

monthly checks (per SOP UM-

0000-M-134, Potable WaterSampling and Reporting, and

UM-EN-027, potable Water

Program Requirements). This

is to ensure the water is safe

to drink.

We will inform you if the

water becomes undrinkable.

Please continue leaving

the designated faucets flow-

ing until further notice.
