1.6.6 Fire danger status must be posted on a sign along Hamline Avenue near the range flag pole. It will also be posted on the Range Bulletin.

Table 1.6a Fire Danger Code

FIRE DANGER CODE

GREEN Moderate Use normal caution. Fire w ill start easily. Any type of ammunition may be used

w ith care. Smoking is permitted.

YELLOW High

Use extra caution. Fire w ill start very easily. The beginning of the high danger

period. Approved blank and non-lethal ammunition may be used, w ith care, and

on ranges. Use of pyrotechnics, demolitions, and heat or f lame-producing devices

w ithin training areas should be limited as much as possible to cleared areas or

areas previously burned for that purpose.

RED Extreme

Flash condition. This is the highest class of f ire danger. Fires started are

practically impossible to extinguish and usually continue until danger rating

conditions improve or they burn themselves out. The utmost caution w ith f ire

producing agents and devices must be exercised at all times. The f iring of

pyrotechnics or other ammunition likely to cause f ires is prohibited unless

specif ically authorized by AHATS Operations.

1.7 Network and Communications Use AHATS operates with the following means of communications:

1.7.1 Primary: a) Range Cell phone: (651)775-1284 b) TAC Office phone (651)282-4421

1.7.2 Secondary: a) 800 MHZ, AHT AHATS channel 2

1.7.3 Additional Information: a) All elements training must have means of communication with AHATS Operations at all times. b) Cell phones must be operable while training area is occupied. c) Contact AHATS Operations upon occupying the training area. d) AHATS Operations MUST approve any alternate forms of communication. e) The Officer in Charge and Range Safety Officer must continuously monitor the primary form of

communication in order to be informed of adverse weather conditions and for medical emergencies. 1.7.4 All military units are required to use frequency hopping on FM communication systems. a) MNNG Units will coordinate with the Major Command in training at AHATS to determine which edition of the 34th Division SOI will be used. MNARNG units will follow the 34ID SOI for frequency use. b) Non MNNG instate and out of state units are required to use frequency hopping. Units will request Single Channel radio frequencies by submitting a request to the Camp Ripley S6/IMO. Requirements submitted will include estimates for Command and subordinate units. This estimate must be submitted 90 days prior to training. Units using frequency hopping mode, will use their own load sets including frequencies (and COMSEC as desired). Frequency hopping is necessary with the limited number of frequencies available. Single Channel use is for Cue/MAN and to coordinate with other non-organic units. Units may or may not be authorized to use their load sets. Only after review by the MNARNG frequency manager will authorization be granted. Contact the Camp Ripley S6/IMO at 320-616-2702 to verify if load sets are authorized. c) Civilian agencies will request and coordinate all frequencies regardless of the use of military frequencies or not with the Camp Ripley S6/IMO. Civilian agencies requesting specific frequencies for their equipment will work with their Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Representative and will provide an FCC authorization document before being allowed to use the frequencies. d) Use of unauthorized and un-coordinated frequencies will not be tolerated as it has the potential to interfere with other units, aviation assets (FAA), civilian and government public safety agencies, and other groups. This will initiate an FCC incident for which the offending unit or agency will be held responsible.

12.2 General 12.2.1 The use of NLW requires the use of the AHATS Operations Blanks/Simunitions/Less-Lethal

Ranges Opening/Closing Checklist. (See Appendix H) 12.2.2 The term "non-lethal" does not mean zero mortality or non-permanent damage. Fatal injuries can

occur if munitions are employed at a distance that is less than the determined minimum safe engagement range.

12.2.3 The Inter-Service Non-Lethal Individual Weapons Instructors Course is the only course in the Department of Defense that is certified to produce instructors who will train individuals in the proper employment of NLWs. Equivalent civilian certification is required for civilian agencies.

12.2.4 Non-Lethal Weapons Concept of Training a) To train units from the individual level up to the commands level on the usage and employment of

Non-Lethal technology both in civil disturbance and combat operations. b) This training is based on doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures. It does not replace a

commander’s lethal capability. The use of NLW adds to the number of options a commander can use. It gives a course of action when the use of lethal force may not be the best call for the situation.

12.2.5 Safety Considerations: a) Non-Lethal Weapons are non-lethal by design and intent only. Failure to adhere to the

Minimum Safe Distance (MSD) will result in serious bodily injury or death! b) All Soldiers or civilians on the firing line must wear eye & ear protection in addition to helmet and

IBA/IOTV. c) Troops training with Electro Muscular Disruption (EMD) (X26 & X26E Tasers) are not authorized to

take a live stun. It is prohibited to use an EMD on Soldiers by the Department of the Army. d) Oleoresin Capsicum (OC or “Pepper”) spray training with be executed with Department of Defense

standards using an Inter-service Nonlethal Individual Weapons Instructor Course (INIWIC) or civilian equivalent instructor. OC spray training is not authorized inside buildings, enclosed structures, or combined spaces.

13.2 Mines

13.2.1 Practice and inert mines are the only mines authorized for use at AHATS. 13.2.2 Practice and inert mines must be color-coded and must have the appropriate identification

marking stenciled on them. Do not mix service, practice, and inert mines and fuses. 13.2.3 Practice mines and their fuses contain a small, low explosive charge or a smoke producing

increment. They must be color-coded and separated. 13.3 Trip Flares (M48 AND M49)

13.3.1 Use inert flares to teach the use, emplacement, and fusing of service flares. 13.3.2 Fence or guard each service trip flare used in training to prevent personnel from approaching

within 2 meters of the emplaced flare. 13.3.3 Clear trip flare positions of flammable material to prevent accidental fires. Do not use the M48 trip

flare in areas where fire could cause serious damage. 13.4 Simulators

13.4.1 M80 explosive simulators detonate 3 to 5 seconds after ignition of the fuse cord and are capable of causing serious injury. Fuse cord tips should not be split, since this reduces burning time and increases the potential for injury to personnel. Do not use M1 and M2 type fuse igniters to ignite the M80 fuse cord or hold the M80 simulator when ignited.

13.4.2 Procedures for the safe use of other simulators are contained in TM 9-1370-206-10, TM 9-1370-207-10, and TM 9-1370-208-10. Do not attempt to disarm or disassemble simulators.

13.4.3 Commercially manufactured fireworks (designated for civilian use) will not be handled, stored, or used in any way on AHATS.

13.4.4 An OIC trained in demolitions supervises emplacement and firing of the detonator. Emplace IAW procedures outlined in FM 30-101.

13.4.5 Each unit must have a dedicated evacuation vehicle with qualified medical aid personnel, and a unit fire fighting team available in the immediate vicinity, after the simulator is exploded. These personnel must remain until the area is cleared.

13.4.6 IED Simulation Kit: The IED Simulation kit and Battlefield Effects Simulator (BES) provide the tools required to train war fighters for one of the deadliest killers on today’s battlefield.

16.3 Historical Preservation 16.3.1 Any individual finding an artifact or item of historical or archeological significance is required to

not disturb or cause deliberate destruction. Record the location and contact AHATS Environmental Office to initiate the process and determination of historical preservation.

16.4 Noise Monitoring Noise is inherent to the operation of AHATS and the surrounding communities. As a result, AHATS Operations responds to all noise complaints and maintains a record of all complaints.

16.4.1 Generator use in support of training activities produces considerable noise. When generators are located within 500 meters of the AHATS boundaries units will position and/or sand bag to reduce noise levels.

16.4.2 Quiet hours are from 2200-0600 daily.

16.5 Hazardous Materials and Special Waste Management 16.5.1 AHATS is committed to reducing the volume of solid waste that it generates. This will be

accomplished through an effective “Reduce-Reuse-Recycle” program. All personnel will participate in the recycling program. Any materials to be recycled may be deposited in the containers behind the Hamline Readiness Center. Recycled materials include aluminum cans, office paper, metal, cardboard, tin, plastic, glass, and MRE boxes.

16.5.2 Wood pallets, crates, and debris shall be recycled using the Wood Salvage Program. The Wood Salvage Program is the direct responsibility of the DPW. DPW will receive all wood products from AHATS Tenant Activities. Units will coordinate disposal of wood pallets, crates, or debris with DPW or the AHATS Environmental Office.

16.5.3 Wood products that are not salvageable or are chemically treated will be stored near the dumpsters behind the Hamline Readiness Center and then transported to the Camp Ripley Solid Waste Transfer Station by DPW.

16.5.4 Employees wishing to participate in the Wood Salvage Program shall work with AHATS Environmental Office to complete the wood salvage permit (See Appendix H). 16.6 Mobile POL Distribution Points POL distribution from mobile units is an activity that has the potential of posing environmental concerns; therefore, the following guidance, in addition to Joint Forces Minnesota Regulation 200-3, Joint Forces Minnesota Regulation 200-1,and MNARNG JFMNR 200-21 applies:

16.6.1 The proposed location of distribution points must be coordinated with the Training Area Coordinator (TAC).

16.6.2 Use drip pans at all times for dispensing nozzles and the dispensing area must be lined with a small piece of impermeable liner.

16.6.3 Ensure that the fueling hose is drained into the drip pan after each fueling operation and hang the hoses with the nozzle pointed up.

16.6.4 Provide empty drum for accumulating POL contaminated soil in the event of small spills (Less than five gallons). The drums must be labeled “POL Contaminated Soil.” These drums can be obtained from AHATS Environmental. Staging of bags or drums will be coordinated with AHATS Operations.

16.6.5 Empty containers must be available to accumulate contaminated/waste fuels. One container for each type of POL and the containers must be labeled according to AR 200-1.

16.6.6 Each POL distribution point must be equipped with a spill kit in the event of a spill. The kit includes absorbent materials, shovel, and plastic storage bags.

16.7 Spill Control 16.7.1 Any person causing or discovering a spill will: a) Stop the flow without exposing self or others to unsafe conditions. Actions taken should not exceed the level of expertise, knowledge, or training of the person causing or discovering the spill. b) Contain the spill using whatever means are readily available. Prevent the spills from flowing into drainage and surface waters. c) Immediately report all spills of POL and hazardous substances to AHATS Operations (651)775-1284. Furnish essential spill information: grid location, material spilled, cause and time of incident, estimated quantity spilled, name and contact information for person calling.


31

d) If the amount of contaminated soil is less than what would fit in a 55-gallon drum, dig it out and contact AHATS Operations or Environmental Office for disposal. Plastic bags for transportation of the contaminated material may be obtained from AHATS Environmental Office. e) If the amount is greater than what would fit in a 55-gallon drum, earth moving equipment will likely be required for removal. Units are responsible for showing AHATS Operations personnel the location of the spill. 16.7.2 Units will complete the Spill Report Form MNGR 200-21-0510 found in training binder or AHATS Office, and turn it in to AHATS Operations as soon as possible. 16.8 Mechanical Digging Digging or earth excavation requires written request to the TAC and AHATS Environmental Office. Request must include type and grid location of excavation with time and duration to be used. The TAC approves permits with concurrence from DPW and AHATS Environmental Office to ensure facilities (above and below ground) are not affected and notifications or permits are completed.

16.8.1 Mechanical digging is permitted in the training areas, except for the following restrictions: a) 100 meters from surface water or wetlands b) 50 meters from main roads c) Posted and marked soil cap areas d) 50 meters from the perimeter fence

16.8.2 Maps with all above listed areas identified are available from AHATS Environmental Office.

16.9 Vegetation 16.9.1 Units are encouraged to select locations that have sufficient natural concealment. Any dead or

downed trees throughout the training area may be utilized for concealment. 16.9.2 Ramsey County is currently under quarantine for emerald ash borer. No firewood will be brought

onto AHATS and may only be taken off AHATS if coordinated with environmental office and must not be transported outside of Ramsey County.

16.9.3 Anyone training at AHATS may not use invasive species for concealment. Invasive vegetation can easily be transported on vehicles. Inspect vehicles prior to leaving AHATS. Invasive species include buckthorn, leafy spurge and many others. Contact AHATS Environmental Office regarding the identification of invasive species. 16.10 Tick-Borne Diseases 16.10.1 AHATS Employees and troops in training need to remain informed on the potential for tick -borne diseases and prevention. Similar to other areas in the Midwest, AHATS is an endemic area for Lyme Disease and Human Granulocytic Ehrlichoisis (HGE). While all ticks are a nuisance, it is only the deer tick which is responsible for transmitting these diseases. 16.10.2 The following methods are encouraged to prevent bites from all ticks: a) Wear uniforms with pants bloused and sleeves down b) Apply repellent with DEET to exposed skin c) Treat clothing with repellent containing permethrin. Peramone spray is commonly used and available at AHATS d) Use the buddy system to check for ticks frequently e) Remove ticks by grasping the tick as close to the skin as possible and gently pulling it straight out, then wash the bite area and apply antiseptic. 16.10.3 If a deer tick bites a person, seek medical attention to ensure that the tick is removed correctly in order for proper identification of disease carrying ticks and prompt treatment of personnel is carried out. 16.11 Wildlife Management 16.11.1 AHATS is home to a wide variety of wildlife. No hunting or trapping is authorized on AHATS without permission from the AHATS Environmental Office and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.


32

16.11.2 Blanding's Turtles are a state threatened species and protected under MN State Statute. The most likely time to encounter turtles is in June, when they are crossing roads between water and nesting sites or when they are digging their nests along the edges of, and in the middle of, roads and trails. Turtle nesting frequently occurs from late afternoon until just after dark. The Blanding’s Turtle measures up to 10 inches across, it can be identified by its high domed shell, which looks like a hardhat, and a bright yellow chin and throat. Nest sites are marked with reflective tape that is visible with night vision devices. 16.11.3 When rare, sick, or unusual wildlife are observed, whether live or dead, it should be reported to the Environmental Office. The reporting information should consist of: a) Type of wildlife or best description b) Date and time observed c) Name and contact information for observer d) Grid location of observation e) Comments about behavior or possible cause of death. 16.11.4 All wild animals, especially skunks and raccoons, are potential carriers of the rabies virus. Individuals should not handle or feed any wild animals. Avoid confrontation at all times with wildlife and report any nuisance animals to AHATS Operations. In the event a wild animal bites or scratches any individual, provide first aid and immediately notify AHATS Operations. 16.12 Hunting 16.12.1 Only persons possessing a valid Minnesota hunting license and a permit validated for the AHATS hunt will be permitted to hunt on AHATS. Permits are not transferrable between individuals or hunting dates. 16.12.2 Deployed Soldiers Archery White-tailed Deer Hunt typically occurs four times between October and December. Approximately 40 permits are issued per hunt to Veterans and currently serving Service Members. The Camp Ripley Environmental Office coordinates this hunt. Applications are completed online, normally due no later than September 1 of the current year, and can be found at http://www.minnesotanationalguard.org/surveys/campripleyhunts/huntingform.php. 16.12.3 Deployed Soldiers Archery Turkey Hunt typically occurs two times between mid-April and mid-May. Approximately 20 permits are issued per hunt to Veterans and currently serving Service Members. The Department of Military Affairs and Camp Ripley Environmental coordinate this hunt. Applications are completed online, normally due no later than December 15 of the prior year, and can be found at http://www.minnesotanationalguard.org/surveys/campripleyhunts/huntingform.php. 16.13 Prescribed Burn Policy 16.13.1 AHATS uses prescribed burns to achieve natural resource objectives and fuel reduction management. These burns are scheduled for early spring and late fall with piles of natural vegetative material burned in the winter with adequate snow cover. The timing of these events is weather dependant. 16.13.2 Fires are allowed IAW chapter 1.6.1.
