FACT SHEET
FOR A CLASS 3 MODIFICATION TO THE THIOKOL
HAZARDOUS WASTE STORAGE PERMIT
Thiokol Corporation
UTD009081357
Box Elder County, Utah
This fact sheet has been developed by the Executive Secretary for the Utah Solid and Hazardous
Waste Control Board (Control Board). The purpose is to discuss the draft Class 3 Permit
Modification that the Control Board proposes to issue to the Thiokol Corporation [the
Permittee], under the authority ofthe Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Act. The Class 3 Permit
Modification would modify operations under the Thiokol Hazardous Waste Storage Permit at the
Thiokol facility in Box Elder County, Utah.
A. PURPOSE OF THE PERMITTING PROCESS
The purpose of the permitting process is to develop the specific requirements necessary
for the Permittee to comply with the Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Act as amended,
and regulations promulgated by the Control Board in the Utah Administrative Code
(R315).
Utah is federally authorized to administer and enforce the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1980 and most ofthe Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments
(HSWA) of 1984, within the State, in lieu ofthe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). The Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Act is the State statutory authority to
regulate the management of solid and hazardous waste. The Utah Solid and Hazardous
Waste Act defmes the power of the Control Board. The administrative authority for the
Control Board, to approve and issue RCRA hazardous waste permits, has been delegated
to the Executive Secretary of the Control Board. EPA maintains an oversight role over
the State's authorized program.
The Executive Secretary has prepared this draft Class 3 Permit Modification which sets
forth the details of the modification.
