surfaces, and repair with materials comparable to those in
place. Correct conditions that may result in failures on
essential roads. When dust constitutes a serious hazard
or source of damage to property, provide dust palliative
treatments.
c)
Runways. Reactivation procedures for runways vary depending on
the length of deactivation and the anticipated use. The
activity should coordinate with the EFD, Code 04, to arrange
for an airfield condition survey. The results will determine
necessary steps for reactivation. An FAA recertification may
also be required if the runway has been deactivated for over
two years. The EFD coordinates all recertification efforts.
If the runway has only been deactivated for a short period
and the FAA certification is still valid, reactivation measures
as outlined in para. b) of this section should be taken. In
addition, airfield pavements should be marked according to the
latest criteria; all other marking should be obliterated.
d) Walks, Curbs, and Gutters. Repair paved walks, curbs, and
gutters where necessary to place them in a condition suitable
for normal safe use. Provide drainage along walks.

Boiler Plants. Boilers should be laid up in accordance with NAVFAC
2.5.1.1
MO-324 Inspection and Certification of Boilers and Unfired Pressure Vessels.
If possible, the gas distribution pressure should be lowered to the minimum in
the active portions of systems, thus reducing leakage and conserving gas. In
addition, an operating and maintenance manual should be prepared prior to
shutdown, if one does not already exist.
Drums and Tubes. Manhole and handhole yokes, studs, and nuts
a)
of drums and tubes should be coated with paint, oil, or grease;
when accessible, machined surfaces such as those on caps and
seats should be coated in a similar manner. After the interior
surfaces of the drum are cleaned and treated to inhibit
corrosion, the manufacturer's instructions should be followed
carefully in reassembling. If any gasketed joints have been
broken, new gaskets should be installed.
b)
Superheaters. For the balljoint type of superheaters,
individual elements should be disconnected and washed out with
hot water; water should then be blown out with compressed air.
After the elements have dried, they should be plugged. When
