Dear Mr. Vandel
Re: Inspection Requirements
As a result of our discussion during your recent facility audit, I have reviewed our inspection
requirements to verify all inspections are being performed as required. There was one area
that may be subject to interpretations. There is a requirement in our permit to inspect our
TSDF roadways, loading/unloading areas and the periphery daily when in use. Thiokol
believes "in use" for roadways and loading areas means when you load/unload or transport
materials through these areas. Therefore, on days when there are no people in the area and
when no hazardous wastes are being moved, inspections of these areas are not required.
This letter is simply to let you know of our interpretation of this requirement and requires no
response unless you disagree with our approach. Thanks for your help with this and other
envirormiental issues. I can be reached at [phone] if you have any questions or
comments.
Sincerely
/'Ji/V.Sl-
