AFMC/DRMS teamed to initiate disposal action for NON Sensitive “H” conditioned support equipment. DRMS contractor mutilated on site, witnessed by DRMS and removed 192,000 lbs of residue. AFMC/DRMS staff on site segregating SR-71 parts by disposal method/process Continue improving disposal process Identified, segregated and consolidate electronic equipment, components, test sets, and circuit cards for shipment on DEMAN task orders. Successfully shipped 132,760 lbs to date. Final DEMAN task order for approx. 25,000 lbs scheduled for shipment Nov 10th AFMC/DRMS/SV workforce on site to uncrate, segregate and stage property eligible for shredding Tri-Rinse Shredding start date Sept 29th Identified asbestos containing property, segregated and place on disposal contract for ultimate destruction (burial) A total of 229,520 lbs of asbestos shipped in (44) Roll-off containers. Receipt, off-load & actual burial witnessed and Certified/Verified by CORs Identified end items with hazardous constituents, i.e. gas cylinders, support equipment containing fluids.

6. SR-71, Disposal Plan Challenge & Solution • Challenge - During the first hour of full operations the main shredder experienced a hydraulic leak • The loss of hydraulic pressure immediately shut down the entire system. • One of the hydraulic hoses separated from the coupling and resulted in the release of approx 10-15 gallons of hydraulic fluid • Solution - The spill was immediately isolated, contained, and cleaned up by the Tri-Rinse staff in accordance with the provisions of their contract • The spilled hydraulic fluid was contained on the rubber containment mats under the shredder and with the addition of absorbent and absorbent pillows • The contaminated absorbent was place on a DRMS HW disposal contract & removed

7. SR-71, Disposal Plan Challenge & Solution • Challenge - During the shredding process we experienced a fire that was caused by hot metal mixed with the shredded wooden boxes, crates & packing materials • Smoke was immediately detected by the operator and a DRMS employee monitoring the operation • Attempts by the SR-71 team to distinguish the smoldering content with fire extinguishers failed • The Fire Department was immediately called and extinguished the fire • Solution – We placed a spotter with a water hose to observe the shredding process and continuously wet down the content as it enters the roll-off
