NOTICE
The Executive Secretary of the Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Control Board has issued the final draft of the Class 3 permit modification of the state-issued hazardous waste Part B permit
for the ATK Launch Systems Promontory Facility. The ATK Promontory Facility is located approximately 30 miles northwest of Brigham City, Utah. Since operations began in 1956, ATK and
its predecessors have been primarily involved in the production and testing of rocket motor propellants. This Part B Permit modification request would implement the following changes:
adds treatment of reactive hazardous waste by open burning or open detonation at two sites located at the facility; removes treatment of waste solid rocket motors by disassembly; adds
a new storage site for solid hazardous waste; adds and adjusts Closure Plans for the new and existing hazardous waste management units and modifies permit conditions as appropriate to
accommodate the proposed changes.
A 45-day public comment period will begin on August 4, 2010, when the public notice is published in the Herald Journal, the Standard Examiner, the Box Elder News Journal, the Salt Lake
Tribune and Deseret Morning News, and will end on September 17, 2010, at 6:00 p.m. In addition, a public hearing will be held to allow the public to make comments concerning this modification
request. The hearing will be held on September 9, 2010, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in Room #3 at the Brigham City Public Library. The library is located at 26 East Forest Street,
