RE: Utah Hazardous Waste Emergency Permit UT-007-2006, ATK Thiokol – Promontory Facility, EPA I.D. #UTD009081357

Dear Mr. Gooch:

The Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste (the Division) received your written request for an emergency permit to treat, by open burning, one military flare (type LUU-2) that failed
to ignite during an airborne quality control testing procedure. The flare fell to the ground over the Promontory Point, Kosmo testing area. Based on the information provided in your
written request, once located, ATK Thiokol personnel determined that the flare was unsafe to move due to its failure to ignite and the potential damage sustained from the impact with
the ground. An emergency permit for treatment was needed so that ATK Thiokol (Thiokol) could open burn the dropped flare in place at the Kosmo testing area.

Enclosed is Utah Hazardous Waste Emergency Permit #UT-007-2006 providing Thiokol authorization for the treatment of the dropped flare. This permit is based on the premise that the information
provided by Thiokol was accurate and that the treatment was conducted as specified in your letter.

This permit was effective on February 17, 2006 and expired on the same date once the treatment was complete. Emergency permits are issued under the authority of 19-6-101 through 105,
Utah Code Annotated, as amended and R315-3-6.2. If you have any questions, please contact Jeff Vandel at 538-6170.

Sincerely,
ORIGINAL DOCUMENT SIGNED BY DENNIS R. DOWNS ON 2/23/06

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 R315-3-6.2(b)(4)
