This permit shall remain in effect from March 17, 2005 until April 16, 2005. Emergency permits are issued under the authority of 19-6-101 through 105, Utah Code Annotated, as amended

STATE OF UTAH EMERGENCY PERMIT UT-010-2005

Permittee:
ATK THIOKOL INC. - PROMONTORY
P.O. BOX 707
BRIGHAM CITY, UT 84302-0707

Pursuant to the Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Act, 19.6.101-122, et. seq., Utah Code Annotated as amended and the Utah Administrative Code (R315-1 through R315-13, R315-50 and R315-101)
as adopted by the Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Control Board, an emergency permit is issued to ATK Thiokol Inc. - Promontory (hereafter called the "Permittee") to treat, by water submersion,
approximately 3,100 pounds of under-oxidized, magnesium-bearing flare illuminate ash. This permit shall remain in effect from March 17, 2005 until April 16, 2005. State of Utah Administrative
Rules allow application for an emergency permit pursuant to R315-3-19 if an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health or the environment is present. ATK Thiokol Inc. requested
an emergency permit because the waste cannot be safely transported off-site to an approved waste management facility and the method of treatment that was determined to be the safest
way to manage the material on-site is not a permitted activity at the facility. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has authorized the Executive Secretary to issue such a permit
under Section 3006(b) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

The Permittee must comply with all terms and conditions of this permit. The permit consists of all applicable portions of R315-1 through R315-13, R315-50, and R315-101 incorporated
by reference. Applicable rules are those, which are in effect on the date of issuance of this permit. In addition, all waste generated from the treatment shall be properly characterized
and transported to an approved disposal facility.

This permit is based on the premise that the information given by telephone on March 17, 2005 is accurate and that the treatment will be conducted as specified. The Permittee must inform
the Executive Secretary of any deviation from, or changes in the information provided which could affect the Permittee's ability to comply with the applicable regulations. Any inaccuracies
or misrepresentations in the information provided may be grounds for the termination of this permit, in accordance with R315-3-19(b)(4).
