Introduction : National Demolition Inc., is contracted to demolish and

remove the structures at the former Hollywood Park Race Track.
Demolition/ construction has been ongoing for several months. The
remaining structure to be demolished is the Grandstand, which is a 3-6
story building. The overall length of the structure is approximately
1300 feet.
National Demolition has contracted with Dykon Explosive Corp. to
perform the implosion of the Cantilevered Roof of the Grandstand
Only. It is anticipated that the job will take 2-3-days to perform. The
setting of the explosive material and devices will take up to 1-2 full
days. The impulsion will take place on the third day. Should weather
conditions become a factor all the parties involved will meet and
confer on a alternative time and or day.
Site Security: Currently Turner Construction is providing perimeter
security of the site through there contracted provider Allied
Protection There are 3 entry points to the site that are secured by
uniformed security guards. When Dykon employees arrive at the area
to perform there work the site will be placed on LOCK DOWN.
Security measures will be escalated, only one entry point be
designated for the flow of vehicles and personnel onto the site. ONLY
Authorized PERSONNEL will be allowed access to the site.
Turner Construction will provide through their contracted security
contractor extra security guards to patrol and monitor the exterior
perimeter of the site, during the days that Dykon Explosive Corp.
employees are conducting work, including the day of the implosion.
National Demolition will provide interior security protection for the area
around the Grandstand. It is anticipated that security shifts will 12
hours per day up to 3 days. Nationals Security will provide a staff of 6
stationary security staff with 2 additional individuals to provide mobile
movement. Once Dykon workers have finished there work for the day
the site will be turned over to National Demolition and its staff.
Individuals will be placed every 430 feet on both the Westside and
Eastside of the Grandstand. A 500-foot perimeter will establish as a
SAFE ZONE around the entire perimeter of the Grandstand.
An interior sweep of the Grandstand will be conducted in the areas that
are accessible and not deemed hazardous. The sweeps will be
conducted by National Demolition employees and or there designated
agents. These sweeps will occur before the start and the finish of
Dykons workday. This precaution is to ensure that unauthorized
persons have not compromised the perimeter and interior of the

Grandstand. Also monitor and document any irregularities that may be

present .
On the day of the impulsion National Demolition and its staff will
coordinate with Dykons staff and the other entities to ensure that ALL
areas are secured, protected and safety is given the utmost
consideration.
Local Law Enforcement and Safety:
The Inglewood Police Department has law enforcement jurisdiction.
Should there assistance be needed in the event an emergency, they
will contacted immediately. To ensure the safety of the site and the
public Dykon Explosive Corp., has requested the assistance of
Inglewood Police Department to provide 1 uniformed officer at the site
during evening while Dykon employees are away from the site. The
officer shall monitor a designated area where Dykon will be storing
explosives and other materials.
Should it become necessary to implement any type of traffic control or
road closure for the main roads bordering the site (West Prairie St,
South Century Blvd, North Pincay St), Inglewood Police Department
will conduct that enforcement.
Dykon provides materials used in the impulsion. These materials are
shipped via a special outfitted truck. Once the truck arrives at its
destination it is parked at the site and remains until the work is
completed. The vehicle has no markings other then the mandatory
HAZMAT codes identifying the cargo contained within. The vehicle will
be parked on the eastside of the Grandstand out of the view of the
public.
L.A. County Fire Department is responsible for fire suppression and
protection. The fire department will have equipment staged on the site
in the event an emergency is declared and a fast response is required.
It is anticipated that fire personnel will only be required to be on site
during the day of the impulsion.
Exclusion Area: Dykon has set a 1000 foot exclusion zone to be
implemented around the perimeter of the Grandstand on the day of
the impulsion. A public viewing area has not been identified, but due to
the identified time that the event will take place there does not seem
to be a reason for such a place to be designated. However should a
viewing area be required outside the exclusion zone Dykons staff
should be consulted in determining that location.

Hollywood Park Casino: Just south of the Grandstand is the

Hollywood Park Casino, which is a working business that is occupied by
patrons 24 hours a day. The Casino Security Staff have been advised
of the impending event. The Casino building is in close proximity to the
Grandstand. The Casino Security staff state upon a date and time
being implemented they will secure the interior perimeter of the
Casino 1 hour prior to the impulsion. The smoking area at the
northwest side of the casino will be closed and no patrons will be
allowed to enter that area. In addition all North Side window areas of
the and the East Side patio areas of the Pavilion will be secured and
off limits the morning of this event. As an added precaution a Blast
Fabric will be placed on the Exterior of the South End of the
Grandstand Building to protect the Pavilion from possible airborne
debris resulting from the Blast.
