Dear Mr, Downs
Subject: Request for renewal of RD&D Permit dated June 16, 1994 for Thiokol
Corporation EPA # UTD009081357
Thiokol Corporation requests a one year renewal of our RD&D Permit as authorized in 40
CFR 270.65(d) to complete our study of Solid Rocket Motor Disposal (SRMD). This
renewal is needed to allow a more thorough study and gain additional processing data which
will help us make a reasonable decision on the feasibility of such a process on a larger scale,
I have reviewed our closure cost estimate and have determined that a small adjustment should
be made to allow for inflation. This adjustment factor is 1.018 times the current estimate.
This revision is calculated below.
Current Closure Cost Estimate
Adjustment Factor
New Closure Cost Estimate
$19,900
X 1.018
$20,258
An updated RCRA Financial Responsibility Submittal was sent to Mr. Dennis Downs,
attention Brad Maulding, on October 4, 1995 (1010-FY96-062) form Kenneth G, Ford.
Please use this information to replace the old Financial Assurance Mechanism for the RD&D
permit renewal.
We are unsure how long this project will continue, but have been told that additional work
with cryogenic washout techniques are still scheduled. The annual tank certification has not
yet been completed, but will be submitted to the State prior to use ofany ofthe tanks listed in
section IV.B. If you have any questions or need additional clarification, please contact Gene
Curtis at 863-4479.
