Presented to:

Citizens’ Advisory Commission

Presented by:

Paul DentOperational Readiness Review (ORR) Manager

What is an ORR?

Per ACWA Policy Statement 26, “ORRs will be conducted to verify the readiness of the ACWA Pilot Plants to safely begin operations involving chemical agents, explosives, or other highly hazardous materials.” The ORR process is used to validate

that PCAPP “plant, paper, and people” collectively meet the required criteria to allow a new operation to begin.

PCAPP ORR process is led by the system-contractor (SC) to support a declaration of readiness.

ACWA provides ORR oversight; independent validation is used to support the SC’s declaration of readiness.

Stakeholders are invited to observe the ORR process.

Scope of ORR for Initial Agent Operations

Criteria are defined in the Initial Agent Operations ORR procedure

― Defines ORR criteria that reflect project requirements

― Summarizes proposed Integrated Operations Demonstrations (IODs)

― Include normal and off-normal exercises to be performed

― Evaluation teams will observe and critique each demonstration
