15 F-16 Environmental Team Initiatives Programmatic Environmental, Safety and Health Evaluation (PESHE) Hazardous Material Reduction Program Seeking continued LM Aero Environmental, Safety and Health (ESH) support Disposal, Deactivation and Demilitarization Plan Pollution prevention initiatives 15

16 F-16 Programmatic Environmental, Safety And Health Evaluation l Programmatic Environmental, Safety and Health Evaluation (PESHE) document Prepared / maintained by F-16 Environmental Team Provides guidance for management of ESH program with focus on five primary areas Environmental compliance Hazardous Material Management Pollution Prevention National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Occupational Safety and Health Five primary areas 16

17 F-16 Programmatic Environmental, Safety And Health Evaluation (cont.) Additional details of PESHE Provides guidance for entire life cycle of F-16 weapon system - production through disposal Focuses on risk assessment for decision making Provides guidance for environmental program enhancements Describes Environmental Working Group, Network and Monitoring System Environmental Monitoring System helps to ensure ESH is considered through all phases of weapon system 17

18 Hazardous Material Reduction Program Accomplished by LM Aero, funded by F-16 Systems Group Began July 1996, ended February 2002 Goal - identify, test, and qualify substitutes for hazardous F-16 manufacturing processes F-16 maintenance and repair procedures Driven by U.S. Department of Defense requirement to reduce hazardous materials Ozone Depleting Compounds (ODCs) Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) High vapor pressure solvents Low permissible emission limit (PEL) materials 18

19 Hazardous Material Reduction Program (cont) Nonchromated Sealants Nonchromated Coatings Miscellaneous Solvents Cadmium Plating Replacement High VOC Coatings Replacement Dot Stencil Ink Depainting Tasks Solid Film Lubricant Nonchromated Deoxidizers Nonchromated Prebond Etchant Nonchromated Conversion Coating Primer for FMS-3049 HazMats & Obsolete Materials in Technical Orders Following tasks not yet completed: F-16 Hazardous Material Database 19

20 Hazardous Material Reduction Program (cont) Hazardous material replacements in Technical Orders LM Aero identified alternative maintenance chemicals for F-16 Cleaners Lubricants Adhesives Pretreatments Coatings Specialty Products Also, worked cancelled specifications and obsolete chemicals Over 500 materials, 30,000 applications, 1682 Technical Orders effected 20

21 Hazardous Material Reduction Program (cont) Hazardous material replacements in Technical Orders (cont) Replacements added to Technical Orders during digitization of Organizational level books Completed October, 2004 Recommendations also made for most of Intermediate and Depot level books No incorporation funding available If digitization effort occurs, will try to incorporate then 21

22 Hazardous Material Reduction Program (cont) Hazardous material replacements in Technical Orders (cont) Replacement strategy Attempt to select replacements that will offer maximum flexibility to the field e.g. ability to select solvent that best meets location s need Attempt to reference materials already in use when possible desire to minimize required specialty chemicals Do not change chemical if technology has not yet arrived e.g. nonchromated primers 22

23 Hazardous Material Reduction Program Related Projects and Needs (cont) Nonchromated flex primer for F-16 outer mold line Nonchromated reactivation primer for ballistic liner coating Low volatile organic compound fuel tank coating Nitrile phenolic primer Non-lead solid film lubricants 23

24 LM Aero Environmental, Safety and Health Support F-16 Environmental Team is seeking continued LM Aero Environmental, Safety, and Health support Including sustainment of Technical Order and hazardous material databases developed under Hazardous Material Reduction Program Hazardous material database needed for safe disposal and crash recovery investigations Technical Order database useful for hazardous material replacement implementation F-16 Sustainment Group recently secured funds for further completion of hazardous materials database 24

25 F-16 Disposal, Deactivation, and Demilitarization Plan Disposal, Deactivation, and Demilitarization Plan is being prepared by F-16 Sustainment Group Provide guidance for safe and economical disposal of F-16 aircraft and components. Hazardous materials database will be part of plan Database also useful for crash recovery investigations and clean up actions 25

26 F-16 Pollution Prevention Initiatives F-16 Environmental team maintains involvement/cognizance of pollution prevention initiatives managed by several organizations: Joint Group for Pollution Prevention (JG-PP) Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) ASC/ENVV (Pollution Prevention Branch) Air Force Petroleum Office (DET 3, WR-ALC/AFFT) AF Plant #4 Integrated Product Team Environmental Security Technology Certification Program Other weapon system programs 26

27 F-16 Pollution Prevention Initiatives Monitoring Hydrazine replacement efforts Hydrazine is used to start F-16 Emergency Power Unit Hydrazine is one of the top three F-16 ESH hazards Carcinogen Considered extremely Hazardous Substance under U.S. Environmental Regulation Continually a User top concern item Past efforts to identify a replacement have been unsuccessful F-16 Environmental Team continually seeks a cost effective replacement 27

28 F-16 Pollution Prevention Initiatives (cont) Monitoring Hydrazine replacement efforts (cont) Small Business Innovative Research proposal activity Phase I effort yielded potential replacement Phase II effort kickoff meeting 17 Nov 04 Develop / demonstrate components of an environmentally benign system for Emergency Power Unit Develop detailed plan for prototype and identify potential infrastructure issues Pending favorable results, F-16 Environmental Team would seek funding: Program for system integration and qualification Retrofit by USAF and potentially all F-16 users. 28

30 F-16 Pollution Prevention Initiatives (cont.) Pollution Prevention Projects managed by F-16 Environmental Team Multi-Weapon System/Environmentally Compliant Topcoat Environmentally Friendly Alternative for Specialty Coating 30

31 Environmentally Compliant Topcoat Develop/operationally evaluate environmentally friendly topcoat Funded by HQ AFMC/CEVV Benefits Hazardous waste reduction Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) / Hazardous Air Pollutant (VOC/HAP) emissions reduction Reduced labor costs Phase I Develop Zero VOC topcoat system LM Aero effort, September Two coatings were downselected for a Field Service Evaluation Phase II Field Service Evaluation Apply to two F-16 aircraft and evaluate over 18-month period 31

32 Environmentally Friendly Specialty Coating Develop/operationally evaluate an environmentally friendly coating Funded by HQ AFMC/CEVV and DoD ESTCP Benefits Hazardous waste reduction VOC/HAP emissions reduction Reduced labor costs Phase I Develop zero VOC specialty coating system LM Aero effort, September 2002 March 2004 Two coatings were chosen for a Field Service Evaluation Phase II Field Service Evaluation Apply to two F-16 aircraft and evaluate over 18 month period 32

33 Environmentally Friendly Topcoat and Specialty Coatings Program Benefits Fully Qualified Material System Enables USAF to Meet Increasingly Stringent EPA Regulations by Significantly Reducing the Volatile Organic Content (VOC) and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) Emissions at Air Force Plant 4 and OO-ALC Depot Reduced cost and maintenance time Improved performance 33

34 Field Service Evaluation - Topcoat and Specialty Coating Phase II conduct Field Service Evaluation (FSE) Objective - Evaluate durability and maintainability of coatings Two F-16 aircraft from Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, coated March April 2004 at depot One with low-voc specialty coating, one with zero VOC specialty coating One with low-voc topcoat, one with zero VOC topcoat 34

35 Field Service Evaluation - Topcoat and Specialty Coating FSE for F-16 aircraft coatings underway at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, through October 2005 Feedback positive regarding durability, maintainability, and cleanability Feedback positive regarding application processes by depot Second six-month inspection performed by Lockheed and Air Force at Spangdahlem AB on 11 May 2005 Final inspection will be performed in October November 2005 Coatings are doing very well 35
