00:05.780 --> 00:08.058
In order to remove fuel from the tanks ,

00:08.058 --> 00:10.113
the existing pipelines must first be

00:10.113 --> 00:12.169
filled . This process is technically

00:12.169 --> 00:14.359
referred to as rep packing pipeline .

00:14.369 --> 00:16.536
Rep packing must be done to remove the

00:16.536 --> 00:18.702
existing air from the pipes . Removing

00:18.702 --> 00:20.702
the air helps ensure fuel will flow

00:20.702 --> 00:22.925
uniformly during refueling operations .

00:22.925 --> 00:25.147
It also provides a measured opportunity

00:25.147 --> 00:27.091
to verify system functionality and

00:27.091 --> 00:29.899
pipeline integrity inputs from industry

00:29.909 --> 00:31.465
and regulatory experts were

00:31.465 --> 00:33.576
incorporated into the overall concept

00:33.576 --> 00:36.069
of operations for rep packing . Several

00:36.080 --> 00:38.247
precautionary measures were identified

00:38.247 --> 00:40.358
and will be implemented to ensure the

00:40.358 --> 00:42.691
safety of personnel and the environment .

00:42.709 --> 00:44.653
The appropriate number of properly

00:44.653 --> 00:46.709
trained personnel will be on hand to

00:46.709 --> 00:48.709
support the rep packing evolution .

00:48.709 --> 00:50.765
Additionally , incident response and

00:50.765 --> 00:52.487
fuel recovery drills have been

00:52.487 --> 00:54.709
conducted to validate the effectiveness

00:54.709 --> 00:56.653
of the interagency response plan .

00:56.720 --> 00:58.664
These repack measures will also be

00:58.664 --> 01:00.442
incorporated for all subsequent

01:00.442 --> 01:02.609
refueling operations to enhance safety

01:02.609 --> 01:04.831
as we prepare to expeditiously Deuel at

01:04.831 --> 01:06.730
the Red Hill bulk fuel storage facility .
