Dear Mr. Ostler
Subject: Thiokol Pollution Prevention Quarterly Report,
2nd Quarter 1995
Reference: Stipulation and Consent Order Docket Number
UIC93-1
Letter to the Division of Water Quality Stating
that all Unpermitted Wastewater Discharges had
Stopped Flowing to the Ground dated 1 June 1995
The collection of all industrial wastewater flows for
treatment at the new wastewater treatment facilities has been
finalized since the Pollution Prevention Report in April. All
flows were collected, or temporarily stopped until connections
were completed, before the 31 May 1995 deadline agreed to in
the referenced Consent Order. The four discharges mentioned
in our letter of 1 June 1995 are now connected to the collec-
tion system also.
In total, 55 industrial wastewater flows from the
Manufacturing and Test Areas (approximately 104,800 gallons
per day), 10 incidental connections, and 3 9 septic tank/leach
field systems were connected for treatment at the south
wastewater treatment plant (Building M-422). Fifty industrial
wastewater flows (approximately 87,000 gallons per day) and 38
septic tank/leach field systems were connected to the new
treatment plant (Building E-541) at Strategic Operations.
Eight of the fifty industrial connections were made to
buildings which have been taken out of service. A list of the
industrial wastewater flows collected for treatment since the
last report, along with flow volume, is attached.

We are now able to accurately measure wastewater flows
generated at our Northern Utah facilities and find that volume
is somewhat less than previously estimated. Building M-422
had an average daily flow of 116,000 gallons in June (compared
to the 104,800 gallons plus septic tank flows mentioned above)
while Building E-541 had an average daily flow of 83,000
gallons (compared to the 87,000 gallons plus septic tank flows
mentioned above) during the same period. The reduction is due
to several factors: 1) Decreases in manufacturing operations
due to defense and space cutbacks, 2) Water use reduction
programs, and 3) Elimination of wastewater flows, as
documented in earlier reports.
Thiokol is mairitaining the improvements., made. in minimizing
industrial wastewater flows as reported in previous quarters.
We are also in the process of installing aqueous cleaning
systems to replace vapor degreasers. Many tons of 1,1,1-
trichloroethane will not be emitted to the air through this
measure. Wastewater quality will also improve slightly.
Please contact me at 863-5928 or Steve Harris at 863-5456 if
you have any questions concerning Thiokol pollution preven-
tion. We will be happy to provide additional information.
