7. Align the first service station to be flushed as follows: a. Open the service station riser valve and the cutout valve between the service station and hose reel. b. Unreel all fueling hoses and attach the pressure fueling nozzle from one hose to the defuel- ing main. NOTE The defueling main will have been opened to the contaminated settling tanks. 8. Start one service pump. When a discharge pressure of 80 psi is obtained, SLOWLY open the pump discharge globe valve. Observe the bull’s eye sight glass in the filter vent. When a solid stream of JP-5 is dis- charging through this line, close the vent valves. 9. When the filter vent valve has been closed, start the service station defuel pump. 10. Close the nozzle toggle switch on the pressure fueling nozzle to place the service station in the fueling position. Flush until a clean bright, water-free sample is obtained at the test connection on the pressure fueling nozzle. Analyze the sample using AEL detectors. Continue this operation on a station-by-station basis until each hose reel has been thoroughly flushed. Fueling of aircraft is accomplished in the same manner as flushing the hoses, except that the nozzle is attached to the aircraft. Specific flight deck proce- dures for flushing, fueling, and defueling are cov- ered in chapter 5. AUXILIARY SYSTEM OPERATIONS The auxiliary JP-5 system provides for the deliv- ery of JP-5 to emergency diesel generators, small boat filling connections, and yellow gear fill stations. The procedure for transferring JP-5 to the auxiliary main is as follows: 1. Strip the selected service tank. 2. Open the tank top valve from the selected service tank and the cutout valve to the auxiliary pump suction. 3. Ensure all service tank valves not involved with the transfer operation are closed. 4. Open the valves in the discharge line from the auxiliary pump to the auxiliary main. 5. Open branch valves in the auxiliary system to the stations to be serviced, and check to ensure all branch valves for those stations not requiring servicing are closed. 6. Establish communications between the pump room and the stations to be serviced. 7. Start the JP-5 auxiliary pump. 8. When the transfer operation is complete, se- cure the JP-5 auxiliary pump and close all valves in its suction and discharge lines. Then close all open valves in the remainder of the system. POLLUTION CONTROL The Navy’s ability to accomplish its mission re- quires daily operations on land, at sea, in the air—in other words, in the environment. The Navy is commit- ted to operating its ships and shore facilities in a manner compatible with the environment. National defense and environmental protection are, and must be, compatible goals. The chain of command must provide leadership and personal commitment to ensure that all Navy per- sonnel develop and exhibit an environmental protection ethic. Thus, an important part of the Navy’s mission is to prevent pollution, to protect the environment, and to conserve natural, historic, and cultural resources. Oil pollution is the Navy’s largest single pollution problem. As ABFs, we have millions of gallons of petroleum products under our control at all times. We are responsible for the safe storage and handling of every single gallon. OPNAVINST 5090.1A is the Navy’s Environ- mental and Natural Resources Program Manual. In it, the Chief of Naval Operations provides specific guide- lines and policies, assigns responsibility, and sets stan- dards for the Navy to follow pertaining to environmental protection policies. Some of the specific policies that concern the ABF are: 1. Oil or oily waste shall not be discharged from any naval activity or ship within 50 nautical miles of any shoreline in such quantities that will leave a sheen of the water. 2. Personnel will prevent or contain any acciden- tal discharge to prevent pollution. 3. Provides procedures for the disposition of waste petroleum products. 4-73
