RE: Utah Hazardous Waste Emergency Permit UT-020-2006
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, military flares that fail to ignite during quality
control testing procedures. These tests, which are conducted at the Promontory Point, Kosmo area, include both ground launched flares and flares that are dropped from aircraft. Based
on the information provided in your letter, ATK Thiokol (Thiokol) has determined that flares that fail to ignite during these tests, once located, are unsafe to move due to the potential
damage sustained from the impact with the ground. An emergency permit for treatment is needed so that Thiokol may open burn in-place at the Kosmo testing area, flares that fail to ignite
properly.

Enclosed is Utah Hazardous Waste Emergency Permit #UT-020-2006 providing Thiokol authorization for the treatment of flares that have been characterized as unsafe to move. This permit
is based on the premise that the information provided by Thiokol is accurate and that treatment of flares will be conducted as specified in your letter.

Waste material collected after the treatment is completed shall be properly characterized and transported to an approved disposal facility. Thiokol will be required to maintain records
of the open burning activities. These records shall include the date and time of treatment, the name of the person(s) conducting the treatment, the number and type of flares treated,
the location of treatment, a description of the treatment effectiveness, and the final disposal of waste residues. These records shall be included in a report that shall be submitted
to this office within 14 days of the expiration date of the permit.

This permit became effective on April 1, 2006 and will expire on June 30, 2006. 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.

STATE OF UTAH EMERGENCY PERMIT UT-020-2006

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 open burning,
military flares (type LUU2-C/B, LUU-19, M257, or M278) that fail to ignite during quality control testing. State of Utah Administrative Rules allows application for an emergency permit
pursuant to R315-3-6.2 if an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health or the environment is present. The Permittee has requested an emergency permit based on its determination
that it is unsafe to move flares that fail to ignite after being dropped from an airplane or launched from the ground during testing procedures. It was determined that the safest way
to manage these potentially damaged flares is to burn them in place prior to transporting them for disposal. 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 shall 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, the Permittee shall maintain records of the open burning activities.
These records shall include the date and time of treatment, the name of the person(s) conducting the treatment, the number and type of flares treated, the location of treatment, a description
of the treatment effectiveness, and the final disposition of waste residues. These records shall be included in a report that shall be submitted to the Executive Secretary within 14
days of the expiration date of the permit. 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 provided in a letter dated March 27, 2006 and through discussions with ATK personnel is accurate and that the treatment will
be conducted as specified. The Permittee shall 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)
of the Rules.

This permit is effective on April 1, 2006 and shall expire on June 30, 2006.
