Dear Mr. Anderson,
Subject: Waste Minimization Certification Submission for Calendar Year 2011;
ATK Launch Systems Promontory, EPA ID No. UTD009081357: ATK
Launch Systems Bacchus, EPA ID No. UTDOO 1705029; ATK Launch
Systems Bacchus Facility-NIROP, EPA ID No. UT3170027277
ATK Launch Systems, Inc. (ATK) is required by Hazardous Waste Storage Permit
requirements to submit an annual certification that the Permittee has a waste
minimization program in place to reduce the volume and toxicity of hazardous waste
generated to the degree determined by the permittee to be economically practicable; and
that the proposed method of treatment, storage, or disposal is the most practicable method
currently available to the Permittee which minimizes the present and future threat to
human health and the environment.
ATK has a program in place which measures and reports both the quantity and cost for
generating and disposing waste at the facility. This information is shared with employees,
which includes executive management, to ensure proper management policies are
implemented and followed. The methods of treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous
wastes are continuously monitored and evaluated to ensure present and future threats to.
human health and the environment are minimized. Routine internal audits are conducted
to ensure compliance with permit requirements. We also continue to work with the
Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste to complete the open buming risk assessment for
our Promontory facility which will help ensure the current method of treatment will
present an acceptable risk to human health and the environment.
/ certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my
direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel
properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or
persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the
information, the information is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and
complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information,
including the possibility offine and imprisonment for knowing violations.
