Summary
Summary:
On
Monday,
March
10,
1997,
Jim
O'Leary
(
EPA),
Kristina
Alcorn
(
SAIC)
and
Úna
Connolly
(
SAIC)
visited
NM­
2,
a
Navy
Frigate.
We
were
escorted
by
the
Base
Environmental
Coordinator,
a
LTJG,
a
LCDR,
and
a
Bosen's
Mate.
During
our
visit,
the
frigate
was
undergoing
a
major
overhaul
that
involved
stripping
the
exterior
paint
and
repainting
to
improve
the
ship's
ability
to
avoid
radar
detection.
No
solvents
were
on
board
or
being
used
during
our
visit
and
it
was
not
possible
to
simulate
solvent
usage.
We
were
able
to
perform
a
container
survey
and
those
results
are
contained
in
this
report.

Solvents:
Solvents
are
used
exclusively
in
painting
operations.
The
planned
maintenance
system
(
PMS)
calls
for
PDS­
80
(
trichloroethane)
to
be
used
in
this
operation.
This
solvent
is
not
kept
on
board,
but
requisitioned
when
needed.
General
detergents
rather
than
solvents
are
used
for
cleaning.

Wipers:
The
frigate
uses
disposable
rags.
Rags
weighed
to
determine
average
weights
included
denim
jeans,
cotton/
polyester
shirts,
and
sweat
shirt
material.
The
amount
of
disposable
rags
used
depends
on
whether
or
not
the
ship
was
deployed
or
docked.
LTJG
Lex
Walker
estimated
that
when
deployed,
they
use
100
bales
(@
50
pounds
per
bale).
