Which organization approves the site plan under conditional exemption?

• A. EPA
• B. DDESB
• C. DoD Environmental
• D. OSHA

Answer: (B)

The essential idea is who has the authority to authorize a site plan when a conditional exemption is requested. That responsibility rests with the Defense Department Explosives Safety Board (DDESB). This board reviews and approves site plans to ensure explosive safety requirements are met, allowing a facility to operate under a conditional exemption once an approved plan demonstrates proper handling, storage, security, and emergency response for munitions. The other agencies—EPA, OSHA, or a generic DoD Environmental office—handle environmental protection, worker safety, or broad DoD environmental matters, not the specific approval of site plans under a conditional exemption for explosive safety. So the board with explicit authority to approve such site plans is the DDESB.
