Tank Bottoms Draining – RH Tank 

Concept of Operation (Date:TBD)

Operations Summary

 Phase I: JP-5 Pipeline, FOR Line Verification, jumper on FOR line at Sump, jumper at 

Tank 

 Phase II: Tank Bottoms Draining Alignments (from Tank to JP-5 Pipeline IVO Tank 

via FOR Line to DLA Destination TBD)

 Phase III: Tank Bottoms Draining

Preparation for Execution

 Location: 

 Date: TBD

 Bottoms Draining Amounts: ~120K Gals

 Issuing Tanks: Red Hill Tank 

Execution

 Phase I: JP-5 Pipeline, FOR Line Verification, Sump, Tank 

 Planning – Condition Verification, QA, Op Order, HAZOP

 Preparation – Remove LOTO from FOR Line, connect Tank Line to JP-5 

Pipeline IVO Tank Isolate Sump, align blinds 

 Training – To Op Order and Emergency Response

 Evolution Walkthrough – All Scheduled Watch-Standers

 Phase II: Tank Bottoms Draining Alignments (from Tank to JP-5 Pipeline to DLA 

Destination TBD)

 Tank Bottoms Draining: Align Tank to FOR Line to JP-5 Pipeline IVO Tank to 

DLA Destination TBD, bypass Zone 7 Sump, use gravity, vent through aligned tank

 Confirm Valve Alignment as identified in OPORD

 Phase III: Tank Bottoms Draining

 OPORD: Follow OPORD as written, trained and briefed

 Emptying Tank: Continue Bottoms Draining until no flow is detected

 Close relevant valves once Tank has been Drained

Staffing

 Bottoms Draining operations are scheduled for day shift only

 A Control Room Operator & Assistant Control Room Operator will be in Control Room throughout the 

entire operation

 At all times, a Work Leader will be at Red Hill supervising Bottoms Draining operations

 Pier Side PIC will supervise ship loading.

 Validators will provide verification of proper operation of valves

 Rovers will be assigned to monitor the pipeline during the Bottoms Draining process
