RE: ATK Launch Systems-Promontory EPA ID number UTD009081357
Request for Class 2 Permit Modification
Dear Mr. Downs,
In accordance with R315-3-4.3 (incorporated by reference 40 CFR 270.42), ATK Launch
Systems - Promontory (ATK) requests a permit modification to add EPA waste codes to
our current Part B storage pennit, and to allow storage of reactive waste received from
off-site for up to 14 days at the M-136 bum grounds. This requested storage addition of
106,000 lbs is an increase of less than 25% of our total capacity, making this change a
class 2 modification. Additional changes include company name change and clerical
changes.
The additional codes are needed to facilitate storage and consolidation in preparation for
off-site disposal of various chemical wastes. The EPA codes for which we are requesting
addition to our peiTnit are listed below:
DOIO, D024, D025, D026, D029, P003, POl2, P028, P029, P064, P067, P077,
P087, P092, P093, P095, P112, P119, U008, U053, U077, U095, U123, U131,
U148, U149, U156, U162, UI90, U210, U218, U219, U243, U246, U359, U328,
U029, U102, U085, U093, U221, U253, U185, U201, U225, U238, U404, U079,
U171, U186, U004, U025, U028, U070, U072, U085, U088, UIOJ, U103, U209,
U224, U113, K044.
The 14 day storage request for reactive waste received from off-site is needed to facilitate
more efficient and safer waste handling practices, and to accommodate delays in waste
treatment due to weather or other uncontrollable delays. Storage of this waste will be in
compliance with the revised and approved pennit.
As specified in R315-3-4.3, ATK as the permittee will send a notice ofthis modification
request to the latest facility mailing list, maintained by your department. We will also
publish this notice in the Herald Joumal, Standard Examiner and the Box Elder News
Joumal. This notice will announce a 60 day public comment period and a public meeting
to be held at the Brigham City Library. The notice will be mailed and published within 7
days before or after the date ofthis submission. All other requirements as outlined in
R315-3-4.3 will be followed.
I have included a copy ofthe permit modules and attachments with proposed tracked
changes. Ifyou have any question or need additional clarification, please contact Gene
Curtis of my staffat [phone]. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,

INSPECTION SCHEDULE
Purpose antd Scope
The inspection schedule used by Thiokol for the
hazardous waste management areas has been designed
to meet the requirements of R315-8.2.6. The design
of the schedule promotes the detection of
malfunctions, deterioration, discharges, and other
situations which may be causing or leading to a
release of hazardous waste constituents into the
environment or pose a threat to human health.
Eleven areas are designated for inspection: the
container storage area at E-501, M-705, M-186, the
burning grounds at M-136, M-225, T-29 Hydrazine
dilution and the solid propellant/motor storage
buildings, M-47 , M 107,and M-603, G 616 and M
Inspections are conducted by personnel trained to
identify potential problem areas and to use the
inspection schedule and the inspection log. T-29
hydrazine dilution process has a treatment unit
which is inspected before each use. This
inspection is recorded on the process planning and
is available for review.
03.03.2
The Permittee may discontinue inspections of a
storage facility during periods of inactivity. A
facility must be inspected, however, prior to
receiving hazardous waste for storage or treatment
if inspections were discontinued during the period
of inactivity. If any problems are identified
with the areas of concern that are listed in the
inspection schedules (contained in this
attachment), they must be corrected before the
facility is put back into use.
Inspection Schedules
The inspection schedules appear in detail in
Tables 03.03A through 03.03G. Each inspection
schedule is designed so that the items appearing
on the schedule are inspected frequently enough to
avoid any deterioration of equipment and thus
reduce the probability of an environmental or
human health incident between inspection times.
Each inspection schedule is divided into
individual categories and each category
contains a specific list of items to be inspected.

04.10 CLOSURE PLAN, M-47 REACTIVE SOLIDS STORAGE
04.10.1 Purpose and scope
This closure plan addresses closure at the propellant storage building identified as
M-47. The closure plan will be performed in accordance with R315-8.7.
Maximum inventory at this location will be 840,000 lbs of 1.3 and 21,000 lbs of
1.1 solid propellant. This propellant will be stored in drums, boxes, sling bags
and rocket motor cases. The life expectancy ofthis building is 30 years and is
anticipated to be closed in 2028.

04.10.3 Steps for closure
1. Thiokol CorporationATK Launch Svstems will notify the Utah Solid and
Hazardous Waste Control Board of its intent to close the M-47
reactive storage building 45 days before closure begins.
2. Closure will begin first by removing all propellant fi-om the storage
^building. All reactive waste will be sent to Lakeside for open
burning/detonation. Bum ash and rocket hardware will be placed in the local non-
hazardous landfill. The removal will be completed within 60 days after closure
begins.
3. Within 30 days after removal is completed, the floor will be swept and
inspected for any signs of contamination. Regular inspections during
storage should eliminate any potential for out of place propellant.
However, any propellant contamination that may be discovered will be
cleaned using solvent wipes and sent to the bum grounds for thermal
treatment.
All reactive solid waste will be stored inside the M-47 building on a
.concrete slab. This will eliminate any potential for soil contamination and
_will greatly simplify the closure process.
04.10.4 Certification of closure
An independent registered professional engineer shall inspect the building and
.certify that all reactive waste has been removed and that no visible signs of
.propellant contamination remain.
04.10.5 Closure costs
The estimate for closure ofthe M-47 storage building is $258,421. This estimate
is itemized in table 04.10 and is based on closure by a thrid party. The estimate is
based on the following assumption:
1. Maximum storage capacity of 840,000 lbs was used for this estimate.

03.02 PROCEDURES. STRUCTURES. AND EQUIPMENT
03.02.1 Purpose and Scope
Precaufions have been taken to minimize the accidental or sudden
release of hazardous waste or waste constituents into the
environment. The precautions comply with the requirements of
R315-3.3.2(a)(b).
03.02.2 Loading and Unloading Operations
Several precautions have been taken to minimize hazards during
the loading and unloading of hazardous waste. These precautions
are divided into three classes of Waste Management^ri Open
Burning, Drum^^-.Storage and Propellant/Explosives Storage.
Open Burning of hazardous waste explosives and propellants
requires special precaufions. Precautions taken during loading and
unloading operations are described in M-136 Burning Grounds
Operating Characteristics and in M-225 Burning Grounds Operafing
Characteristics found in Appendices 13.A and 13.B. Safe loading
and unloading of explosive waste help to minimize waste release
into the environment and reduce the possibility of unplanned
ignition ofwaste material.
Waste energetic material received from off-site for storage prior to
open burning, will be handled under the same precautions as all
other wastes accepted for disposal at the burn grounds.
Loading/off-loading areas will be inspected each day waste is
received, and at a minimum of once per week.
Several precautions are also taken at the Drum Storage areas.
Spill control equipment is located at each area and can be used in
loading and unloading operations. This equipment is discussed in
detail in Section 03.04 ofthis application. All drums are on pallets
and are loaded and unloaded by a forklift. The design of the Drum
Storage facilities allows adequate aisle space for movement of
drums with a forklift to minimize the actual handling ofthe drums.
All forklift truck operators must havemust have a license to operate
the forklift truck. The operator receives this license by attending at
training program which includes an actual driving test that must be
passed. -The hazardous waste operators must also participate in
the Hazardous Waste Training Program discussed in Section
03.07.

EPA l.D. #UTD009081357
Januarv 1999November 10, 2006
Waste propellant, explosives and rocket motors are carefully off
loaded from trucks using fork lifts, building cranes or a trailer
mounted knuckle boom. Small containers, less than 7^50 lbs,
may be off loaded by hand. All operators of the equipment listed
above, under go extensive training in the proper use of the
equipment they operate. This training includes class room as well
as hands on training. All Thiokol ATK propellant moving, grounding
and bonding procedures will apply.
Many precautions are taken during the transfer ofwaste hydrazine
during the dilution process that is used to prepare this waste for off-
plant disposal. These precautions include medical certificafion,
operator knowledge of chemical properties, special safety
equipment, and specific operafing instructions.
03.02.3 Prevention of Run-on and Run-off
Run-on and run-off are controlled at-H^at the drum storage pads
Mpads M-186 -and E-501 by a concrete berm around the facility.
The M-705 storage and consolidation room is_totally enclosed
prevenfing run-on from entering the facility and eliminating any
possibility for mn-off. Details of these structures and how they
control njn-off are found in Section 06.05 of this application.
Run-on and run-off at the Burning Grounds, M-225, and M-136 are
controlled by diversion, collectionv ditches, and trenches. A
diversion ditch directs run-on around the Burning Grounds. The
run-off at M-136 is collected incollected in a ditch and dispersed in
a dispersion area. The run-off atoff -Mat M-4-225 is dispersed in
an area directly in front of the burning area. Both areas will be
included in the zone of Engineering Control. Details of the system
at M-136 and M-225 are discussed in more detail in Section 13.
Run-on and run-off at buildings M-47T and M 107, M 340, M-603
and S-616 are controlled since the facilifies are fully enclosed
buildings which are elevated above the surrounding grade to
prevent rain intrusion. Drawings ofthese buildings are found in
attachment 6 of this permit.
03.02.4 Prevenfion of Water Supply Contamination
It is not anficipated that any ground water or surface water will
become contaminated. The drum storage areas, M-186, E-501,
and M-705 each have a containment system which is described in
detail in Section 06.04. Each system is constructed to be leak-proof
Hazardous Waste Permit Application
Gordant Technologies—Thiokol CorporationATK Launch Svstems-Promontorv
EPAI.D.#UTD009081357
^November 10.2006
and divert run-on.
The propellant/motor storage buildings store only solid
materials.andmaterials. and do not require secondary containment.
The nature of this solid waste, combined with fully enclosed
storage buildings, greatly reduce the potenfial for contaminafing
water supplies.
The materials in the trays at the burning grounds are normally
destroyed on a weekly basis except those materials too sensitive to
store for any length of time. No free liquids are burned in the trays.
Avoiding Minimizing free liquids and controlling run-on and run-off
prevent water supply contaminafion. Control of run-on and run-off
is discussed in section 03.02.3. Ground water monitoring has been
implemented at the M-136 Burning Grounds under Sfipulation and
Consent Order #8502162 and #8606402. Monitoring of ground
water and evaluafion of potential contaminafion is discussed under
"Reports Issued" as a part ofthese required reports.
03.02.5 Mitigating Effects of Equipment Failures and Power Outages
A power outage or equipment failure will have little effect on the
hazardous waste storage and treatment areas. Any equipment
failures, such as truck breakdowns, pump repairs, etCr; can be
managed by on-plant maintenance. Power outages can occur, but
all critical operations have backup generators so hazardous waste
can be controlled. Thiokol ATK maintains an electrical lineman
crew that has the necessary equipment and experience to repair
on-plant power outages. In the event of a very large power outage
or repair, Utah Power and LightRocky Mountain Power will be
contacted and necessary measures taken to restore power.
03.02.6 Prevention of Undue Exposure to Personnel
Exposure to personnel handling hazardous waste is minimized by
containing and safely packaging waste and supplingsupplying
personnel with proper protection and safety equipment. The
Contingency Plan in Section 03.04 lists the equipment available to
all plant personnel. Specific procedures and requirements for
personnel protection during the handling of hazardous waste are
specified in Hazardous Waste Storage Area Operating
Characteristics (Appendix 06.C), M-136 Burning Grounds
Operafing Characterisfics (Appendix 13.A), M-225 Burning
Grounds Operafing Characterisfics (Appendix 13.B), and in the
hydrazine dilution procedures (Appendix 14.A).

handling or managing hazardous waste other than those specified
on the Operating Characteristics, standard procedures and
ThiokolATK's Health and Safety Manual, will be determined by
Industrial Hygiene Safety and /or Waste Management and
Environmental Services. These precautions eliminate undue
perisonnel Exposure. Material Health and Safety Data
Sheetslnstructions (MHSIMSDS) are also available. These
documents provide additional safety recommendations and
informafion when handling any chemical product or waste on plant.
These instructions are available on plant for review.
03.03.2.2 Emergency Equipment
This equipment is inspected on a monthly basis. The emergency
equipment is intended to help respond to small emergencies such
as leaks or spills. It is not intended to respond to major incidents,
fires, nor explosions. It Is limited to equipment that is manually
operated and is easilyis easily portable. Monthly inspections
assure there are adequate supplies of material on hand and
mechanical items are operable so that immediate response to
small emergencies can be safely handled.
Thiokol CorporationATK maintains a spill response vehicle which is
used to respond to spills that are medium to large. The vehicle
contains safety and spill response equipment. This vehicle is
maintained by the fire department and is inspected weekly or after
use to ensure that an adequate supply of material is on hand.
03.03.2.3 General Areas
The general area or surrounding of each site is inspected on a daily
basis. These inspecfions consist of generally observing the area
for possible spills or mismanagement of hazardous waste. These
areas need daily inspection to minimize potential for
mismanagement of hazardous wastes during loading, unloading, or
handling.
03.03.2.4 Safety Equipment
Safety equipment is inspected monthly. Monthly inspections
include tesfing equipment to make sure it is in working order and
ensuring that all equipment is complete and in place. These
inspections help to maintain a safe work environment and minimize

human health incidents.
03.03.2.5 Storage and Containment System
The storage and containment system must be inspected daily and
after storms. This is not only a regulatory requirement, but these
inspections help to operate the container storage area in a safe
manner and minimize environmental incidents. Inclement weather
and mismanagement are the primary sources of deteriorafion G^
timeof the containment system and the containers are in good
condifion, are propedy labeled, and adequate aisle space is being
maintained.
Standing liquids in the containment system and/or sumps must be
managed according to Secfion R315-8.9.6(5). Inspecfions are
made weekly in order to effectively manage standing liquid. All
standing liquids found on the pad must be identified so they can be
removed. Section 06.06.3 discusses the management of standing
liquid in the containment system. These weekly inspecfions
minimize environmental impacts from the actual storage of
hazardous wastes in the storage areas.
If a leaking or deteriorafing drum is located in this inspection, the
drum must be immediately transferred to stop or prevent leaking.
The identified drum can be handled in two ways:
The contents ofthe container can be transferred by pump to a new
drum. Ifthe drum is leaking, this procedure should always be
done.
The deteriorated drum can be placed in an 85-gallon over-pack
drum with the space between the two drums filled with an
absorbent to control any possible leaks.
03.03.2.6 Burning Ground Area
Burning of explosives and reactive wastes occurs normally on a
weekly basis but can occur if conditions necessitate the increased
frequency. Weekly inspecfions of equipment and the area help to
minimize environmental impacts. Items inspected under this
category are subject to general wear or weathering. Weekly
inspecfions provide the fime necessary to correct maintenance and
erosion or wear problems. They also minimize the environmental
impact at the Burning Grounds.

03.03.2.7 General Facility
This equipment includes personal protective equipment that is kept
in Stores and used only during major spills or when specific safety
equipment is needed. Since this material is handled by Stores, only
an annual check is made to ensure that material is in stock and
available for facility personnel. If the material is out of stock, it is
immediately ordered.
03.03.2.8 Fire Department Equipment
The Fire department inspects their equipment on a roufine and
after-use basis. This equipment is especially important to aid in
minimizing the effects from fires, explosions, and spills. The
inspections are performed and records are kept by the Fire
department personnel.
03.03.2.9 Heavy Equipment
Most of the heavy equipment is used on a regular basis for
construction services and for the management of solid wastes. It is
also available for use in emergencies. This equipment is handled at
the heavy equipment garage and is inspected on an hour-usage
basis rate of 100-150 hours depending on the equipment type and
working conditions. A detailed checklist is covered by Maintenance
that is checked thoroughly by trained personnel. All inspection
records on heavy equipment are kept on file at Maintenance
Control and area available for inspection.
03.03.3 Inspection Log
All inspections are recorded. These forms are put into one of three
inspection logs. Each log contains the most recent three years of
records and is available for review. Environmental Monitoring
keeps the inspection logs on the results of all inspecfions on the
security equipment, emergency equipment general area, safety
equipment, storage and containment system, burning grounds, and
general facility categories. The Fire department keeps a log of the
Fire department categories and Maintenance Control keeps a log
for the heavy equipment category.

03.05.1 Purpose and Scope
Thiokol CorporationATK is not seeking any waivers from the
Preparedness and Prevenfion Requirements of R315-8.3. The
hazardous waste treatment and storage facilities have been
designed, constructed, maintained, and operated to minimize the
possibility of unplanned fires, explosions, or discharges of
hazardous wastes. Much of the informafion to meet these
requirements is found in the Confingency Planned various other
secfions ofthis applicafion. These areas will be referenced when
necessary.
03.05.2 Required Equipment
All hazardous waste facilities are equipped to respond effectively to
an emergency situation. Should an emergency situafion arise, such
as a discharge of hazardous waste, a fire, or an explosion,
employees who are in hazardous waste management areas should

used to contact Internal Emergency Response or initiate the
Confingency Plan. Storage buildings not equipped with alarms or
hard wired phones, will ufilize cellular phones to contact
ThiokolATK's emergency responders if needed.
To prevent encouraging personnel to fight fires in the waste rocket
motor/propellant storage buildings and adjacent
waste docks, fire extinguishers are not provided. All other
hazardous waste storage areas are equipped with fire
extinguishers.
The buildings that have separate electrical rooms, have
extinguishers that are to be used in the electrical rooms only. Spill
clean up material will be provided in each ofthese buildings as
oufiined in secfion III.F ofthe Contingency Plan. A description of
the type of extinguisher and its location is described in the
Confingency Plan. Secfion 03. 04. Along with these portable
extinguishers, Thiokol ATK maintains a Fire department to respond
to fires or explosions. Descriptions of fire equipment, available
water, and the Fire department are described in Section 03.04.
Buildings M-47, M 107, M 340 and S 616 .does not have water
immediately available, but rely on ThiokolATK's full time, fully
equipped and trained Fire Department for any emergency response
action. Building M-603 is equipped with a fire sprinkler system,
which is checked at least annually.
03.05.3 Tesfing and Maintenance of Equipment

Aisle space has been designed into each drum storage pad.
Figures 06.02A, 06.02B, and 06.02G are diagrams showing the
aisle space ofthe drum storage areas at M-186, E-501, and M-705.
This type of drum storage allows easy access to thoroughly inspect
the area around each drum and allows adequate room to transfer
hazardous waste into a new drum if a drum is found to be leaking
or in poor condition. There is enough aisle space and clearance
around each storage pad to allow free movement of fire protection
equipment, spill control equipment, and any needed
decontamination equipment. Detailed engineering drawings ofthe
drum storage area are found in Appendix 06.B ofthis application.
All propellant storage buildings will be storing materials in a wide
array of containers and shapes. Each container will be separated
in such a manner as to permit thorough inspecfion of containers,
labels and potenfial leaks (drips). Space for fire fighting equipment
will not be provided because of ThiokolATK's policy of not fighfing
propellant fires.
03.06 PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT IGNITION AND REACTION
03.06.1 Purpose and Scope
Precautions to prevent accidental ignifion or reaction are essenfial
to the safety of all personnel. The precautions taken ensure
compliance with R315-8.2.8. The precaufions are a part of
everyday manufacturing and production activifies at Thiokol
CorporationATK.
03.06.2 Precautions for Open Burning of Explosives and Propellants
Many precautions are taken to prevent accidental ignifion or
reaction of hazardous waste materials at the Burning Grounds at
M-136 and M-225. Because of the extremely sensitive nature of
these wastes, special precautions are taken for each source of
ignition. Table 03.06A lists possible sources of ignifion.
precautions, and reference to these precautions. These references
provide documentafion that these requirements are in force, details
concerning each precaution, and references ofthese precaufions.
Sections of detailed references are in the Confingency Plan found
in Appendix 03.B.
All propellant storage buildings will ufilize the same precautions as
those oufiined above. These include grounding and the prevention
of all ignition sources, as well as a prohibition on all flame

liquids. The front of M-186 and all sides of E-501 are open to
ensure that proper venfilation is maintained in each storage area.
M-705 storage and consolidation room is designed with an air
handling system that will change the air out of the room at least
every three to five minutes. Unauthorized personnel are kept out of
the storage areas. The area is inspected on a weekly basis and all
leaking or damaged containers are immediately replaced and spills
cleaned up. Precautions regarding handling of flammable material
area also taken. Table 03.06B lists possible sources of ignifion,
precautions, and references to these precautions. References to
these precautions are listed in Appendix 03.C.
03.06.4 Precautions for Propellant/Motor Storage
All propellants/motors will be safely handled in accordance with
Thiokol'sATK General Health and Safety manual and any other
applicable procedures. These procedures include, but are not
limited to, proper grounding and bonding protocol. All permitted
hazardous waste storage and treatment facilities are located more
than 50 feet from any property line to help minimize the fire
potenfial of adjoining property. General site maps which show
these building as well as the property lines are found in appendix 1
of the Confingency Plan.

buildings. This building is also permitted for treatment ofthe waste
through disassembly of motors or other procedures needed to
prepare the waste for disposal through open burning or other
similar techniques.
All wastes are temporarily stored while awaiting proper treatment
and/or disposal.
06.02 MANAGEMENT OF CONTAINERS
06.02.1 Types of Containers for Storage
All hazardous waste will be packaged in containers which meet
DOT regulation approvaUnited Nations criterial as found in 49 CFR-
472.
The containers to be used for storage, lab packing, or
consolidation at M-186, E-501, and M-705 will meet the OOT-UN_
criteria. No more than 400 drums will be stored at M-186; 160
dmms at E-501; and 32 drums at M-705. The drums may
contain free liquids. The only excepfion to this will be two wire
palletainers that may be stored in each bay at M-186 and in the lab
packing and consolidation room at M-705 on the small container
storage racks. Each of these wire palletainers may substitute for a
pallet of four dmms. Each palletainer may hold up to 125 gallons
of liquid or 1000 lbs. of waste for lab packing or waste
consolidation. Lab packing wastes are typically in small containers
varying form a few ounces to 5-gallon cans.
The storage and consolidation room at M-705 is a single room with
an area that has been shelved to keep separate small quantifies of
incompafible waste.
The lab pack and consolidation drums used for different
compafibility groups will also be separated. A portable secondary
containment system (PSCS) (for example the Poly-spillpallet
Secondary containment Storage and Handling System) will be used
as secondary containment for lab pack and consolidafion drums to
keep incompafibles separated. The portable secondary
containment system (PSCS) will have the capacity to hold a
minimum of 55 gallons. Appendix H has the vendor's literature and
the compafibility information on one such system; the Poly-
spillpallet system. Most PSCSs are unsatisfactory for storing most

organic waste; therefore, flammable/combustible waste lab pack or
consolidafion drums will be placed on a pallet and stored on the
floor using the room's containment system. Lab pack and
containment drums with non-hazardous waste will be stored on the
floor. Non-hazardous waste found to be incompatible with solvents
would be placed on a PSCS for which it was found to be
compafible. All full consolidation or lab pack dmms will be
transferred from M-705 to a permitted storage facility to stay within
M-705's storage capacity.
All reactive waste received from off-site will be stored in bags,
drums or any UN or USDOT approved container for a maximum of
14 calendar days. Storage ofthese containers is permitted in liguid
tight burn trays or on the ground for intact rocket motors. All
containers will be kept closed during storage. If for any reason a
container cannot be closed, the container will be covered with a

06.02.3 Storage of Containers
Before any waste container is accepted at M-705, E-501, and M-
186, inspection procedures oufiined in the Hazardous Waste
Storage Area Operafing Characterisfics in Appendix 06.C. and
Secfion 03 of this applicafion area followed. If the drum is found to
be unacceptable. It must be immediately repacked and relabeled or
the waste transferred to a new drum. Each drum or container must
be entered into the operator's log (see Section 06.02.4) when the
drum or the container is accepted in to the dmm storage area. A
forklift and/or pallet jack is used to move the pallet into the storage
area.
All waste propellant/explosives stored at M^7 . M 107. M-340and.
M-603 and S-616 must be logged into and out of the operators log
book contained at each building. Building inspecfions must begin
upon first receipt of material, and end when all hazardous waste
has been removed from the building. All containers must be kept
closed except when adding or removing waste, and adequate aisle
space must be provided to permit proper container inspecfion.
Containers are limited to single stacking only. Total quantity
limitations are as outiined in module III section F.
Drums or containers in the holding bays at M-186 and at E-501 will
be sampled according to Attachment 1 of this permit. The wastes
are accumulated unfil enough containers exist to complete a load.
The containers are then loaded into a truck and shipped to the
disposal facility for proper treatment and/or disposal.
Containers must be labeled with the hazardous waste label
compliant with R315.5.8. The label, prepared by the generators of
the hazardous waste, must be completely filled out except for the
manifest document number that will be assigned and filled in upon
preparation for off-site shipment of the waste. Propellants and
explosives to be treated onsite, may utilize a non-DOT approved
label that will comply with all appropriate RCRA labeling
requirements. Procedures for complefing the label are found in
the Hazardous Waste Storage Area Operating Characteristics,
Appendix 06.C.
All drums stored at the M-705, E-501, and M-186 storage areas will
be stored with either both plugs closed or with the top of the drum
sealed. NO waste containers will be open unless waste is being
added or removed. Adding or removing waste will only occur at
these storage facilifies if a container is damaged, leaking, for

sampling, for waste consolidation, and/or for lab packing. A
container may be filled if spilled material is found in a sump during
the transfer of waste containers. A container being filled or
replaced will be located in the containment area. This will provide
containment if any spillage results from an incident during
transferring procedures. Precautions to be taken during the
transfer ofthe waste include: insuring all transfer equipment (i.e.,
hoses, pumps, funnels) is located inside the containment area;
ensuring a proper dmm, as discussed in Section 06.02 and 06.03.
is used when transferring waste material; and following proper
precautions outiined in Sections 03.05 and 03.06 ofthis
applicafion.
The storage configurafion ofthe drums in each area is found in
Figure 06.02A for M-705; Figure 06.02B for M-186; and Figure
06.02C for E-501. The aisle space indicated in these figures must
be maintained at all fimes.
All container storage areas are inspected on at least a weekly
basis. Details ofthe inspection procedures are found in Section
03.03. If a container is found with severe corrosion, structural
defects, rusty bungs, or leaking, the contents must be immediately
transferred into a new container. The new container must be
numbered and labeled with exactiy the same number and label as
the old container. The date and time of any transfer action must be
noted in the inspecfion log and the Environmental Waste Disposal
technical staff must be notified.
06.02.4 Operating Record
All waste brought into the M-186. E-501, M-705, M-47, M107, M-
3407and M-603 and S-616 storage areas are entered into a
hazardous waste log compliant with R315.8.5.3. This log is kept for
all wastes.
If a waste material is consolidated, the consolidation drum is
recorded in the hazardous waste log in such a way as to allow the
consolidated material to continue to be tracked. Waste materials to
be lab packed are placed in a lab pack drum and recorded in a
hazardous waste log in such a way as to allow the material and the
drum to also be tracked.
The operating record is kept for all hazardous wastes. Procedures
are discussed in Hazardous Waste Storage Area Operating
Characterisfics in Appendix 06.C. These records are used to track

06.03 LAB PACKS AND WASTE CONSOLIDATION
06.03.1 Lab Pack Preparation
Thiokol CorporationATK disposes of_several hazardous wastes in
lab packs. Completed lab packs are stored in the drum storage
bays. Before a lab pack is accepted at the drum storage bay, it
must be prepared, labeled, and documented according to the
instrucfions outiined in Hazardous Waste Storage Area Operating
Characterisfics, Appendix 06.C.
Materials in small containers may be stored at the lab packing and
consolidafion room at M-705 or at M-186 for lab packing or waste
consolidation. The materials fare separated into compafibility
groups (Table 06.02A) based on DOT hazard class. The materials
are generally in small containers ranging form one or two ounces to
5-gallon cans; these are discussed in Section 02 ofthis applicafion.
The material is then stored in palletainers (large wire baskets) or
on a shelf unfil ready to lab pack or consolidate. Incompafible
materials are not allowed to be stored in the same palletainer.
shelves, or containment bay.
06.03.2 Lab Pack Labeling
Each waste container must be labeled with a complete hazardous
waste label, which identifies the contents of the container (Figure
06.02C).
06.03.3 Containment Sealer
The concrete containment area where consolidafion and lab
packing occur at M-186 and M-705, is sealed with Rust-Oleum
9500 High Build Polyamide Epoxy System or equivalent. The
Material Safety Data Sheet and compatibility chart on the Rust-
Oleum sealer is found in Appendix 06.E. Engineering drawings of
M-186 and M-705 are in Appendix 06.B.

Under no circumstances will a lab pack contain wastes that are
incompafible. Compafibility of wastes is determined by using
Appendix 06.G, a matrix and an index identifying incompafible
wastes. If a waste is not found in the index or cannot be identified
in the matrix, then the material will be assumed incompafible with
all wastes and lab packed separately unless research by
Environmental Waste Disposal's technical staff documents
compatibility. This documentafion will be kept in the operafing
records. Reactive wastes will be lab packed unless it is waste
propellant, explosive, or pyrotechnic. Lab packing will be done in
accordance to regulation and the needs ofthe disposal company.
06.04 CONTAINMENT
06.04.1 Capacity of Containment
All the container storage areas and consolidation/lab packing
areas at M-186, E-501, and M-705 are designed to hold a
minimum of ten percent of the volume of waste stored in the area
or the volume of the largest container, which ever is greater.
Calculations, which make this determination, are found in Appendix
06.B for M-705, E-501, and M-186. These calculations
demonstrate that with the containers on 5-inch pallets, no liquid will
contact any of the containers if ten percent of the volume or volume
of the largest container of liquid is in the containment area. Table
06.06A summarizes the calculations.

waste with rain water, and do not require secondary containment.
Roof leaks must be repaired as soon as is practicable.
6.04.2 Containment Sealer
The containment area at the M-186 and M-705 storage facilifies are
coated in an epoxy resin to resist liquid penetration. No leakage or
spillage is anticipated during waste storage; however, in the event
spills or leaks do occur. The epoxy will prevent the material form
penetrating the concrete.
The containment system at E-501 is coated with an epoxy sealer
that is a high-build epoxy manufactured by Pittsburgh Paints. The
chemical compafibility and properties of this epoxy are discussed in
Appendix 06.E.
06.04.3 Removal of Free Liquids From Containment Area
Removal of free liquids at M-186, E-501, and M-705 must be done
with a pump. When free liquids are found in the sump, a portable
drum pump, either electric or hand, is used to remove the liquid
and put it into a 55-gallon drum meefing the requirements specified
in Section 06.02.1. Free liquids from different sumps cannot be
mixed unfil after a compafitjility check has been made. This
compafibility check is done by taking a sample and submitting it for
characterization according to the Hazardous Waste Analysis Plan
in Appendix 02.D ofthis application. Each constituent is compared
for compatibility using Appendix 06.G. Any constituent found to be
incompafible wbuld prohibit mixing any of the free liquids. All free
liquids taken form the sumps will be managed as hazardous wastes
unfil waste analysis dictates otherwise.
Precautions will be taken to avoid spills. All spills are cleaned
immediately, unless the size demands spill response. After the
liquids is drained into drums, a sample will be taken form each
drum according to the sampling procedure in the Waste Analysis
Plan in Appendix 02.D ofthis application. The drums will be
managed as hazardous waste unfil a determination has been
made. If the analysis indicates the liquid is a hazardous waste as
defined by the Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste
Administrative Rules R315-2, then the drums will confinue to be

managed as a hazardous waste. If the liquid is a wastewater, the
liquid will be taken to M-705 Wastewater Treatment Facility.
Occasionally, small amounts of liquid such as nitro glycerine can
drip from rocket motors onto the concrete floor. These drips are
typically less than 1 inch in diameter and may drip as much as
once per week. Any sign of out-of-place waste will be checked
during the regular inspections outiined in attachment 2. Clean up
of dripped materials will be completed as soon as is practicable
using rags and acetone.
Significant guantifies of rain water (> 3") wil be removed from the
burn trav prior to treatment for processing at M-705 under a
UPDES permit
06.05 RUN-ON AND RUN-OFF CONTROL
Run-on and mn-off water is prevented form entering the M-186 and
E-501 drum storage pads. Three sides of each pad contain a curb
that is six inches in height and a sloped grade in the front that is
three inches above the ground surface. Each pad has sufficient
height to prevent mn-on from entering the drum storage
containment system. Detailed drawings of these facilities are in
Appendix 06.B. The drawings show local topography and drainage,
which will prevent mn-on.
The storage facility at M-705 is totally enclosed to prevent any run-
on water from entering the building.
Calculations have been performed forthe M-186 storage pad and
these indicate that no mn-on or run-off should enter the storage
building and effect the capacity of the containment area. The
calculations were based on a 24-hour, 25-year storm event and
area found in Appendix 06.F.
The terrain around the burn grounds has been graded so as to
minimize run-on. In addition, all waste will be in water tight burn
trays to prevent run-on. Waste Rocket motors will be covered to
eliminate contact with rain water, and will sit on chalks or pallets to
avoid direct contact with flowing storm water.
