The Accident Potential Zones (APZ) related to the approach and departure tracks from each runway are more restrictive. The APZ is divided into three zones. Most restrictive is the clear zone, off the end of the runway; the next is APZ-1, and the least is APZ-2. These zones and the related land use matrix are shown in the AICUZ section of this report. The AICUZ document also establishes height obstruction clearance requirements derived from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Federal Air Regulations (FAR) Part 77. A portion of the site is subject to the impacts and restrictions imposed by aircraft noise contours (CNEL), Accident Potential Zones (APZ) and height limitations from flight operations on USAF Plant 42 Runway 04/22. Working environments in close proximity to aircraft engines will be subject to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and United States Department of Labor Standards adopted by California OSHA (California Administrative Code Title 8, Industrial Relations Chapter 4) which determine the allowable duration of exposure to noise exceeding prescribed levels. Noise control procedures, such as engine test enclosures and ear protection devices, may be required for compliance with the standards. 2.4.5.2 Earthquake Hazard Palmdale and LADC Plant 10 are located north of the San Gabriel Mountains. The geological setting is dominated by the potentially active San Andreas and Garlock faults which are to the southwest and northwest, respectively. The San Andreas is located 4 miles to the south, the Garlock fault 35 miles northwest, and the San Jacinto fault, also moderately active, to the southeast. The most significant of these, the San Andreas fault, is considered capable of generating the greatest ground site motions. Only one great earthquake (1857 Fort Tejon earthquake) has occurred along the fault segment nearest Palmdale during recent time. Seismologists estimate a rather high probability, approximately 50 percent, for a large earthquake on this portion of the San Andreas fault during the next 50 years. The San Andreas fault dominating the earthquake dictates a maximum credible site earthquake of Richter magnitude. This suggests that new structures for Plant 10 should be designed to withstand forces by the postulated quake. 26 ---PAGE BREAK--- Los Angeles County Antelope Valley area plan hazard and resources map designates certain areas along the San Andreas rift zone, to the south of Palmdale as "Seismic safety management zones" . These coincide with the Alquist-Priolo seismic special studies zone and are restrictive according to land use policy.

Local employment rate is expected to lag behind population growth through 2010. This seemingly negative consideration for the Palmdale vicinity reflects the population explosion in L.A. County and the insurgence of affordable housing in outlying communities with employment found at work sites in other parts of the County. 34 ---PAGE BREAK--- 2.7.2 RELATED PROJECTS As the growth in population suggests, the Palmdale Lancaster area is experiencing a proportional growth in housing, commercial and industrial areas. From April 1987 to April 1989, Palmdale developers processed; 8,891 single family residential lots; 1500 apartment/condominiums and multi-family units; 528,000 square feet of commercial space plus a 150 room hotel, and auto dealership, an office and business park and a shopping center; 426,000 square feet of industrial/warehouse space along with industrial parks, a manufacturing center, a school and a church.

Truck freight service is provided by eight local lines with parcel post service provided daily. 2. 7 .3.3 Railway Service Amtrak does not offer passenger service to or from Palmdale. Southern Pacific Railroad provides transcontinental freight service connecting Los Angeles, San Francisco and market centers in the continental United States and Mexico. Southern Pacific Railroad and right-of-way abuts the Plant 1 0 site on the west. An existing spur serves the site at Building 601 for loading and off-loading of material, supplies and aircraft products logistically required. An adjacent spur to the north serves a 500,000 S.F. building under the jurisdiction of Air Force Plant 42. Trainmaster in Mojave reports on a typical day, 24 to 30 trains, evenly divided northbound and southbound, pass through Palmdale. Mojave is considered a major terminal where through trains drop off cars which are reassembled with a local train servicing various locations in the valley, including Palmdale and the LADC Plant 10 site. This local distribution occurs up to 3 times per week. If required, through trains will stop directly at the LADC Plant 10 site, disconnect cars, and have the local train come to move cars on-site as required. Service to Plant 10 includes delivery of aviation jet fuel, aircraft parts and basic materials. 36 ---PAGE BREAK--- 2. 7 .3.4 Air Service Future development of 17,600 acres immediately east of Air Force Plant 42, designated for the Palmdale Regional Airport, remains uncertain. Contingent on many factors, including citizen concern, Air Force requirements, airline demand, and transport connection to the Los Angeles basin, it remains a future project. Access to transportation is provided by the Antelope Valley Express bus for six airlines based at Los Angeles International Airport and two local airlines based in Lancaster at Fox Field. Eight round trips per day are currently provided to LAX. AIRPORTS ND SCALE 37 - · ,p ---PAGE BREAK--- Air service has been re-established for the Palmdale and Lancaster area through direct service to the Department of Airports terminal on the south side of USAF Plant 42.

L.A. County Fire Department will be the primary responder. LADC has its own Fire Prevention Bureau operating from Building 61 2. This facility functions as an alarm station with radio dispatch capability. Antelope Valley is serviced by the Los Angeles County Fire Department through 14 fire stations throughout the area. There are two stations in Palmdale and three in Lancaster. Up to 50 fire fighters are on duty at any 24 hours per day. New stations in Lancaster and Palmdale are scheduled depending on area growth and available funding. A mutual-aid agreement is in effect between LA County Fire Department and Kern County Fire Department to provide additional resources if needed. Should LA County Fire Department assistance be required at Plant 10, the First Alarm assignment would generate response from Station 24 located at 10th Street West and Avenue P, approximately 2 miles from the facility. Response time is approximately 4 minutes. Station 24 has one engine company and one truck company with 6 fire fighters on duty 24 hours per day. First Alarm back-up is provided by Station 37, located on 9th Street East in Palmdale and Station 129, located on Avenue M Just west of Sierra Highway in Lancaster.

Law enforcement in the Antelope Valley is handled by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department at 1010 West Avenue J in Lancaster. Two hundred officers are assigned to this Sheriff Station with approximately 30 officers on patrol on a typical day. Response time to the LADC Plant 10 facility is 3 minutes. Sheriff Department has available personnel to service the existing community. There are no plans to either add to the facility, add another station or increase personnel. There are plans to develop additional facilities determined by the numb.er of service calls and response time to those calls. LADC Plant 10 has its own security department which provides plant protection services. Plant security has a staff of approximately 40 officers with 20 on a typical day shift and provides gate and building guards and roving patrol of the LADC premises. LA County Sheriff Department has worked closely with plant security in the past, however, Plant 10 security patrol calls to the Sheriff Station are infrequent. 2. 7 .4.3 Medical Services A wide range of emergency medical and medical services throughout the area serve LADC Plant 10. Medical services of all types have expanded throughout the Antelope Valley over the last few years and currently provide full service for medical needs. Four major hospitals are available, in addition to various clinics, care centers and convalescent hospitals. Largest regional hospital facility is the Antelope Valley Hospital Medical Center, a 261 bed full service hospital at 1600 West Avenue J in Lancaster. The facility will expand to 341 beds with completion of the fourth and fifth floors of a new tower. AVHMC emergency department serves as base station for LA County Paramedics and has the only active heliport.

It divided the site into two main areas, industrial on the north portion and non- industrial on the south, separated by a utility core. Site has been developed in conformance with this concept. Major structures, including assembly, flight test hangars, paint structure, engine test area, aircraft parking areas, and related taxiw ay, were located north of the utility core. Dominant feature of the facility is Building 601, a high bay hangar of approximately 800,000 square feet and is a Valley landmark easily visible from a long distance served by a Souttiern Pacific Railroad spur. The larger structures (except buildings, # 636 and # 637) have direct access to the flight line providing access to Plant 42 taxi and runway. East/west utility spine located between Tristar Way and Avenue 0-5 includes the central utility plant for on-site underground utility services, including the power substation and two water reservoirs and pump stations. Employee cafeteria and general administration buildings occupy the west end of this core. The underground fuel storage yard is the eastern terminus.

Helijet is fed overhead by a 66KV feeder along the 25' SCE easement paralleling 8th Street East then east along Tristar Way. The other feeder provides two-66 KV overhead transmission lines (Lancaster Helijet and Anaverde Helijet) paralleling 10th Street East then west along Tristar Way to the substation. SCE can switch the source of the second feed at 14th Street and Avenue P. Two main feeders are part of a loop system giving the Plant 1 0 substation two sources of power should one leg of the loop be out of service. In addition to these two sources, the SCE substation at 40th Street East and A venue P can switch the power source on the east leg thereby providing a third source of power to the Plant. Secondary 1 2kV substation consists of four 12kV circuits, designated TAWNA, TRIST AR, DEBRA and AIRBUS. TAWNA and AIRBUS both loop the facility. DEBRA feeds Building 636 and TRISTAR feeds Building 637. A 1 2kV substation distributes power underground at 1 2kV to existing on-site substations where the power is transformed and distributed to the user as required. The basic east/west main runs on the south side of the Utility Spline, Tristar Way. All existing main duct banks have at least four spare 5" conduits and all auxiliary duct banks have at least one spare conduit. Existing on-site distribution system is adequately serving the facility. 3.2.17 DEVELOPMENT PLAN POWER SYSTEM When Buildings 636, 637 and 611 become fully operational, the present capacity of the Plant 10 Central Plant Building 603 to provide adequate chilled water will be exceeded. A new 90,000 MBH HPS Boiler, 1000 Ton Chiller and four 4000 CFM compressors are scheduled for installation as the need occurs. Peak demand on August 9th 1990 was 10,352 KW or approximately 12.5 MVA indicating the current 14MVA rating of the existing transformer will be exceeded with planned additional loads. A new 14 M VA transformer has been scheduled for installation and should be operation in early 1992. This new transformer will double the capacity of the substation. Substation had two 14 MVA transformers at one time and is already equipped to accommodate the second unit. Increasing the substation and should be operation in early 1992. This new transformer will double the capacity of the substation. Four existing 12 Kv breakers have sufficient capacity to feed the projected load. On the west side of Plant 10, the only duct bank and cable additions required will be extensions from the existing loop to the new buildings. On the east side of Plant 10, a new duct bank will be added to allow SCE circuits DEBRA and TRI STAR to loop the east side. DEBRA and TRISTAR will provide power to all future buildings on the east side. Power distribution will be via the new 12 Kv power duct banks which have the same construction as the existing 12 Kv duct banks. The 12 Kv will be transformed as required at each building. 70 ---PAGE BREAK--- Existing 14 MVA substation will be upgraded to a 28 MVA capacity as required. This new capacity will be adequate for all service needs. Development projected kilowatt Demand growth is shown in the tables.

Trunk line increases to 24" at 15th St. East and continues south on 15th St. East to Avenue P. An 18" trunk sewer coming from the south on 15th St. East joins the 24" trunk at the intersection of Avenue P then continues east on Avenue P, then south on 25th St. East and East on Avenue P-8 to the Sewer Disposal Plant/Palmdale Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) located between 30th and 35th Streets East on Avenue P-8. On-site sewage distribution is via a system of pipe from a 4" VCP branch to the 15" VCP main connecting with the 21" main in Lockheed Way. Due to generally flat terrain it has been necessary to provide three lift stations in the system, one near flight line Bldg. 622, one at the southeast corner of Bldg. 610 and one on the east side of Bldg. 602. Existing sewer system is adequate to handle imposed loads, however, the Palmdale WRP, located at 39300 30th Street East, is currently near treatment capacity. Districts are planning an expansion which will meet the future demand on the District No. 20 sewerage system. 3.2.21 DEVELOPMENT PILAN SEWER SYSTEM LA County Sewer District No. 20 provides and maintains existing 21" VCP main serving Plant 10 site. A 15" on-site main connects with the 21" line at the intersection of 10th St. East and Avenue P. Existing system is adequately sized to handle effluent loads generated by proposed bldg. expansion program. Existing on-site collection system could be extended and sized as required to accommodate all buildings as they are constructed. Existing gradients throughout the area may make it necessary to continue the system of providing sewer lift stations at certain locations to prevent excessive sewer excavation depths. These lift station locations are shown. Existing and future demand load estimates for the sewer effluent for the site are shown.
