RE: Follow-up Spill Report for ATK Launch Systems-Promontory, 9160 North Hwy 83, Corinne,
Utah 84307, EPA ID #UTD009081357
Dear Mr. Downs,
In compliance with R315-9-4, ATK Launch Systems has prepared this report. On November 5, 2008 at
approximately 7:10 am, an ATK employee driving a forklift north of M-3, punctured a new container of Re-
entry Plus 4 Solvent releasing the entire contents ofthe 55 gallon drum. The employee was positioning a
pallet of drums adjacent to another pallet of drums, when a forklift tine punctured the bottom side ofthe
drum.
The punctured drum had been banded and double palletized to secure the load, which prevented the operator
from quickly positioning the drum on its side to stop the leak. However, the operator quickly placed
absorbent around the spill which contained all but about 1.5 gallons to the asphalt surface. The 1.5 gallons
flowed into a nearby concrete storm water catch basin, and was absorbed into the soil which was already in
the catch basin. No solvent flowed past this catch basin.
The spilled solvent carried a DOOl waste code for ignitability, which was lost after solidification ofthis
material. All ofthe waste solvent was well solidified with a clay absorbent, cleaned up, and sent to our onsite
landflii for disposal. The total estimated release ofthis solvent amounted to approximately 393 lbs. No
personnel were injured, and recovery of almost all ofthe spilled solvent minimized any harm to the
environment.
I have attached a copy ofthe MSDS for your review. Ifyou have any question or need additional
infonnation, please contact Gene Curtis of my staffat [phone].
Sincerely, aiiicereiy, j
