RE: Utah Hazardous Waste Emergency Permit UT-002-2006, ATK Thiokol-Promontory Facility, EPA I.D. #UTD009081357

Dear Mr. Gooch:

The Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste has received your request for an emergency permit to treat, by open burning, 20 military flares that will be used in a safety test by dropping
them 40 feet onto a metal plate to see if they will ignite. Based on the information provided in your written request, the potential damage to the flares resulting from the drop renders
them unsafe to move. An emergency permit for treatment is needed so that ATK Thiokol (Thiokol) may open burn the dropped flares in-place at the test facility (area T-20) and then transport
the burned flares for disposal.

Enclosed is Utah Hazardous Waste Emergency Permit #UT-002-2006 providing Thiokol authorization for the treatment of the 20 dropped flares (10 LUU-2 and 10 LUU-19). This permit is based
on the premise that the information provided by Thiokol is accurate and that the treatment will be conducted as specified in your letter.

This permit became effective on January 19, 2006 and shall remain in effect until January 26, 2006. Emergency permits are issued under the authority of 19-6-101 through 105, Utah Code
Annotated, as amended and R315-3-6.2. Please notify the Division once Thiokol has completed the open burning of the flares. If you have any questions regarding the permit, please contact
Jeff Vandel at 538-6170.

Sincerely,

STATE OF UTAH EMERGENCY PERMIT UT-002-2006

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,
20 military flares (10 LUU-2 and 10 LUU-19 approximately 540 pounds total weight). 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 requested an emergency permit based on its determination that it is unsafe to
move the flares once dropped and that the safest way to manage them is to burn the flares 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 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 provided in a letter dated January 19, 2006 and through discussions held with Gene Curtis of ATK Thiokol Inc. - Promontory 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 R315-3-6.2(b)(4) of the Rules.

This permit is effective on January 19, 2006 and expires on January 26, 2006, unless terminated in accordance with R315-3-6.2(b)(4) of the Rules.

NOTICE

The Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste has issued an emergency hazardous waste treatment permit (# UT-002-2006) to the ATK Thiokol-Promontory
facility. This permit is being issued so that Thiokol personnel can treat, in accordance with the Utah Hazardous Waste Management Rules, 20 military flares. The flares will be used
in a safety test by dropping them 40 feet onto a metal plate to see if they will ignite. Thiokol personnel are concerned that the dropped flares may be potentially damaged and therefore
unsafe to move to the permitted open burning grounds. Utah Administrative Rules allow application for an emergency permit if an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health
or the environment is present. Thiokol personnel therefore requested an emergency permit to treat the flares in-place by open burning at the testing facility. The permit is effective
from January 19, 2006 until January 26, 2006.

The Division has copies of the permit available for public inspection during normal business hours, or other hours with prior arrangement, on the 4th floor of the Martha Hughes Cannon
Health Building, 288 North 1460 West, Salt Lake City. For further information, contact Jeff Vandel at [phone]. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, individuals
