Dear Ms. Jenkins:
The Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste (the Division) received your letter requesting
confirmation of a waste determination made by Thiokol Corporation and that Barrick Resources
(USA) is not subject to any solid waste regulations. The Division concurs that the silver
contaminated soils associated with the photographic waste sites are not to be considered
hazardous, assuming that the soils do not fail the TCLP test, nor are they subject to solid waste
regulations. This determination was confirmed in the approved closure plans for the photographic
waste sites dated December, 1993, and in a letter from the Division to Thiokol dated November
2, 1993.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Otis Willoughby at 538-6170.
Sincerely,
Dermis R. Dowhs
Executive Secretary
Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Control Board
