1 0 INTRODUCTION
ATK Launch Systems, (ATK) located 30 miles west of Brigham City, Utah, currently operates open
burning (OB) and open detonation (OD) units for the treatment of hazardous waste propellants and
propellant contaminated matenals These treatment units are M-136 and M-225 and are subject to RCRA
40 CFR 264 Subpart X permitting requirements for miscellaneous treatment units These units are
currently operating as intenm status facilities
The Utah Department of Environmental Quality Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste (UDSHW) is
requinng ATK to conduct new human health and ecological nsk assessments in support of a new
Subpart X permit application Before the human health and ecological nsk assessments can be
conducted, an air dispersion modeling analysis must be performed to evaluate the air quality impact of
the M-136 and M-225 treatment units The results of the air dispersion modeling analysis will be input
into human health and ecological nsk assessment models to determine the nsk from the ATK OB/OD
treatment units This document provides a discussion of the protocol that will be used to conduct the
modeling analysis
1 1 GENERAL OVERVIEW
This document contains a descnption of the air dispersion modeling protocol that will be used to conduct
the air dispersion modeling analysis Before the modeling analysis is conducted ATK is required to
submit and receive approval of the modeling protocol This dispersion modeling protocol has been
developed on the basis of information received from ATK a March 13, 2002 meeting with UDSHW
UDSHW comments from on the initial protocol submittal (September 2003) emissions testing of Class 1 3
materials that was conducted June 7 to 15 2006 at the Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) Open Detonation
Open Burn Improved (ODOBi) test chamber facility subsequent follow-up technical comments from
UDSHW, United States Environmental Protection Agency (U S EPA) modeling guidance, and to the
extent possible the dispersion modeling methodology within the Human Health Risk Assessment
Protocol (HHRAP) for Hazardous Waste Combustion Facilities (U S EPA September 2005)
The document presents a proposed dispersion modeling protocol for addressing the air quality impact of
the M-136 and M-225 treatment units within and beyond the facility boundary I he information presented
within this protocol includes a discussion of the proposed air dispersion model modeling procedures,
sources to be evaluated source parameters treatment scenanos, waste matenals and emissions

2 0 ATK PROMONTORY FACILITY PROCESS DESCRIPTION
The ATK Promontory facility is located in a remote area of west Box Elder County, Utah, approximately
30 miles northwest of Bngham City, and approximately 11 miles north of the Great Salt Lake (see
Figure 2-1) The facility was purchased by Thiokol in 1956, with the exception of a 1,500-acre tract that
was sold to the U S Air Force in 1958 and then repurchased in 1995 The facility has been held in its
entirety since purchase Figure 2-1 shows the ATK property boundary, the location of the M-136 and
M-225 treatment units Also located within the boundary of the Promontory facility is an on-site
meteorological monitonng station, and the Autoliv facility (formerly Morton Inc) The Autoliv facility
produces activators for automobile air bag restraint systems Autoliv operates as an independent
commercial business and is not associated with ATK However waste explosive and propellant waste
matenals generated at Autoliv, are treated by the Promontory facility at the M-136 treatment unit
2 1 FACILITY OPERATIONS
Both hazardous and non-hazardous solid wastes are generated and managed at the facility Hazardous
wastes generated at the facility include solvents, metals (pnmaniy aluminum), and reactive wastes
including 1 1 propellant, 1 3 propellant propellant contaminated waste, reactive laboratory waste, waste
solid rocket motors, propellant ingredients such as nitroglycenn, ammonium perchlorate, aluminum,
cyciotetraethylenetetranitramine (HMX), and similar propellant explosive and pyrotechnic ingredients
Reactive wastes are treated by open burning and open detonation at the M-136 Unit and the M-225 Unit
The location of the M-136 and M-225 treatment units is shown in Figure 2-1
2 2 TERRAIN AND SITE DESCRIPTION
The Promontory facility is located in the Blue Spnng Valley which is bounded on the east by the Blue
Spnng Hills and on the west by Engineer Mountain and the Promontory Mountain ranges respectively
(see Figure 2-1) Within the Blue Spnng Valley the terrain is charactenzed by topography that slopes
down from the mountain crest at an elevation of approximately 6,050 feet above mean sea level (AMSL)
toward the center of the Blue Creek Valley at an elevation of 4 250 feet AMSL As a result the
surrounding environment extending out to 6 2 miles (10 kilometers) from both treatment units can be
charactenzed as complex terrain
Blue Creek is the only perennial stream in the valley drainage basin and is the closest water body to the
M-136 treatment unit Blue Creek onginates some 15 miles north of the Promontory facility from a warm
saline spnng, which flows along the western boundary of the facility (see Figure 2-1)
041108/P 2-1
FINAL
APRIL 2011
The Promontory area is charactenzed as a very sparsely populated rural region, with pnmaniy dry farms
and ranching activities Low growing perennial grasses and shrubs characterize the vegetation in the
area The ecological habitat found at the Promontory facility includes many head of mule deer and large
populations of vanous birds rabbit, and predator species
2 3 TREATMENT UNIT LOCATIONS
ATK Launch Systems conducts open burning and open detonation of reactive wastes at two treatment
units (1) the mam facility M-136, located centrally to the two mam manufactunng sites, and (2) M-225
located m a remote development location called Plant III The location of each treatment unit (m
relationship to the Promontory facility boundary) is shown in Figure 2-1 Vanable scale drawings of the
M-136 treatment unit are shown in Figures 2-2, 2-3, and 2-4 and for the M225 treatment unit in
Figures 2-5 and 2-6 A detailed descnption of the treatment activities and waste profiles for M-136 and
M-225 IS presented in Sections 3 1 and 3 2, respectively
2 3 1 M-136 Treatment Activities
M-136 IS the pnmary treatment unit for conducting open burning at the Promontory facility Open
detonation is also conducted at M-136 which is a secured fenced facility withm the mam facility fence
The layout of the M-136 treatment unit (showing all burn stations) is provided in Figures 2-2 through 2-4
Typical reactive waste treatment at M-136 includes but is not limited to 1 1 propellant 1 3 propellant
propellant contaminated waste reactive laboratory waste waste solid rocket motors propellant
ingredients such as nitroglycerin ammonium perchlorate, aluminum, cyclotetraethyienetetranitramine
(HMX), and similar propellant explosive and pyrotechnic ingredients Similar wastes are also received
from Autoliv, other ATK locations, and on rare occasion from other Department of Defense/government
facilities All wastes received from off-site sources such as Autoliv and other ATK sites are burned within
14 days Except for EPA waste numbers exempted by aile, reactive wastes with listed EPA waste
numbers are identified, and isolated from other matenal enabling the ash to be collected and shipped
offsite for disposal
The M-136 Burn Grounds is compnsed of 14 burn stations Open burn treatment is conducted at all burn
stations However open detonation treatment is only conducted at Stations 13 and 14 The burn stations
are located in three general areas and are aligned in an east-west direction across the treatment unit
The change in elevation between the three general areas is relatively minor (less than 20 feet per area)
Burn Stations 1 through 12 are located in one treatment area that measures approximately 820 feet x
574 feet All Burn Stations are located within a 394-foot radius of the center of the area represented by
041108/P 2-2
FINAL
APRIL 2011
the active burn stations Burn Station 13 is located approximately 820 feet due east of Burn Stations 1
through 12 Burn Station 14 is located approximately 820 feet due east of Burn Station 13
Open burning is conducted at ground level in burn trays Burning trays are constructed in several different
sizes including, 4X10', 5'X16' 8'X8, and 8'X20' These trays are constructed to contain the propellant
and withstand the intense heat from the open burning process They are made from steel plate A36 grade
steel ranging thicknesses of 3/8 , Vz", % , and 1 inch
Lids for the burn trays may be used dunng the wet weather months to keep moisture out of the trays If
the trays are empty, they may also be turned upside down to avoid the collection of moisture in the empty
trays If excess water exists in the burn trays, a sump truck is used to remove the water and it is taken to
the M-705 wastewater treatment facility The trays may be lined with soil to facilitate burning operations,
however, most trays do not contain soil The number of trays at each burn station vanes Bum stations 1
through 12 typically have 15 burn trays Burn Station 13 typically has six trays Burn station 14 is used to
open burn motors Operation of station 14 is descnbed below Trays may be moved between stations as
needed
Open detonation is conducted at either Burn Station 13 or 14 Based on Quantity Distance (QD)
limitations open detonation may be preformed aboveground or underground in a hole or pit depending
on the item to be detonated
The M-136 Burn Grounds also has three specially designed disposal units that are used to handle the
disposal of rocket motor igniters small rocket motors, and other items that have the potential to become
propulsive These disposal units are the Clamshell Disposal tray. Sandbox Disposal tray, and Small Motor
Disposal vaults which are used to contain the propulsive force of the igniters and small rocket motors, but
allow for safe disposal
The Clamshell Disposal tray is used for the disposal of closed end rocket motor igniters, and other items
that have the potential to be propulsive The Clamshell Disposal tray is a square welded box 1-inch thick
A36 steel plate with a vented lid that enables the potentially propulsive items to be burned while safely
containing the propulsive energy The Clamshell Disposal tray is portable and can be used at several
burn stations ranging from 1 through 13
The Sandbox Disposal tray is used for the disposal of open-end rocket motor igniters and other items
that have the potential to be propulsive It is constructed of 1-inch thick A36 steel plate welded into a
square box that is filled with sand, and has four 1-mch thick steel tubes sitting on end in the sand The
potentially propulsive items are placed in the tubes allowing the exhaust to vent out of the open end of the
041108/P 2-3
FINAL
APRIL 2011
steel tubes Steel bars are then slid into the end of the exposed tubes to contain the igniters The
Sandbox Disposal tray is portable and can be used at several burn stations ranging from 1 through 13
The two Small Motor Disposal vaults are constructed from a concrete 10x10 foot sump filled with sand
The small rocket motors such as the STAR motor are placed into the sand with the aft end exposed
perpendicular to the ground The motors are then burned with the propulsive force directed into the
concrete sump and the sand These small motor disposal vaults are located at Burn Station 9
Large-scale obsolete rocket motors are open burned at Burn Station 14 The rocket motor is positioned
near Station 14 and is offloaded by a mobile crane The obsolete motor is placed on sand or wooden
blocks in Station 14 Systems of Linear Shaped Charges (LSC) are then placed on the rocket motor to
split the rocket motor case, rendenng it non-propulsive allowing the open burning of the rocket motor
while it IS still being burned within the existing rocket motor case This also allows the rocket motor case
to act as the burn tray" for the burning propellant
The flnng stanchions electncal circuits for each burn station are buned underground throughout the
Burning Grounds Burn Stations 1 through 12 contain a multiple flnng stanchions (flnng posts) for each
burn station Burn Stations 13 and 14 have a single flnng stanchion for each burn station The electncal
components for the relays power supply, etc are located in Bunker M-136 A heavy steel pylon is
located in each flnng stanchion containing the ignition wire This steel pylon is to protect the electncal
equipment from the intense heat generated dunng the open burning event An electncal igniter is placed
in a minimum of one tray for each flnng stanchion for the burn event
Several safety interlocks are in place at M-136 to prevent inadvertent ignition of the system while
operators are m the Burning Grounds Ignition of all the burning pans is completely remote and controlled
by a system of switches in the M-136 control bunker Before initiating a burn the resistance of each
circuit IS tested to ensure all of the connections have been made properly Pressing the system activation
button initiates a warning siren A siren will sound for approximately 40 seconds and the ignition system is
then armed and ready to fire The ignition switches located in the control bunker can then ignite the rows
and stanchions that are selected Generally, all finng stanchions that contain waste to be burned are
ignited consecutively with a delay between ignitions of finng stanchions The burn is observed and
recorded in the control bunker via a closed circuit television system
No entrance is allowed into the M-136 Burn Grounds dunng the burning process After a burn, a 16-hour
waiting penod is normally required pnor to entenng the area in the Burnings Grounds where the burn was
conducted Entrance is then permitted and a thorough check for abnormalities that may have occurred
dunng the burn is done This check involves looking for reactive matenal that was not completely treated

and may have left the burn trays dunng the burn event, or resulted from an unplanned detonation Any
unburned reactive matenal is collected and placed in the nearest tray to be re-burned A forklift is then
used to carry and dump the trays containing the burn ash to the Industnal Waste Trench (IWT) located in
the far eastern end of the M-136 Burn Grounds If a burn event occurs at the end of the working week
such as Thursday, the ash generally is not transported to the IWT until the beginning of the next
workweek A forklift or a backhoe is used to carry the large-scale obsolete rocket motor cases for
disposal in the IWT
Table 2-1 presents a list of the M-136 treatment sources to be included in the dispersion modeling, the
burn stations associated with each M-136 source, the reactive wastes treated by the each M-136 source,
the treatment event quantity in pounds (lbs) to be used for each M-136 source in the dispersion
modeling, the established Daily Quantity Limits (DQLs), the annual treatment quantity for each source,
and the emission factors to be used in the modeling assessment for each M-136 source The maximum
daily allowable treatment quantity limits per burn station at M-136 Burn Stations 1 through 12 (Source 1)
is 106 500 lbs The maximum daily allowable treatment quantity limit at M-136 Burn Station 13 (Source 2)
IS 50,000 lbs The maximum limit for treating motors at Burn Station 14 (Source 3) is 106,500 lbs per day
The Utah Division of Air Quality (UDAQ) has established these limits based on theoretical hydrochlonc
acid (HCI) emissions OD of waste matenals is conducted at either Burn Station 13 or 14 (Source 4)
Based on QD limitations, open detonation may be preformed aboveground or underground in a hole or
pit, depending on the item to be detonated The maximum allowable daily treatment quantity for open
detonation at Burn Stations 13 and 14 is 600 lbs per day The air dispersion modeling of each M-136
treatment source will be conducted using the Model Quantity" given in Table 2-1
Open burning may occur daily at M-136 However, treatment usually takes place 3 days a week
(Tuesday through Thursday) dunng the afternoon hours when dispersion parameters are most favorable
When wind velocity exceeds 15 miles per hour disposal by burning is not permitted This restnction is an
internal wind speed set by ATK s Fire Department to avoid conditions that could promote a fast moving
and spreading grass fire Disposal operations are normally conducted between the hours of 1000 and
1800 hours
Waste matenal is delivered to the Burn Grounds and packaged in a vanety of containers and sizes
including but not limited to super sacks, conductive/static dissipative bags and buckets The Bacchus
waste IS received in conductive/static dissipative bags and cardboard/wood containers Autoliv waste is
received in high-density polyethylene bags and cardboard containers
041108/P 2-5
FINAL
APRIL 2011
Some waste matenals are desensitized with shingle oil diesel fuel, or tnacetin pnor to transporting to the
M-136 Burn Grounds The requirement to desensitize is identified in the waste profile system This is
done to ensure the safe handling of static sensitive matenals
Matenal delivered to M-136 may be offloaded from the vehicle into the burn trays by hand, knuckle-boom-
crane, or by forklift Dunng tray loading, the vehicle is parked next to the receiving tray, then the
appropnate side rails on the trailer are lowered and the web belts are removed, if necessary allowing the
matenal to be offloaded and placed into the bum tray
The burn trays are inspected pnor to loading The burn tray inspection cntena includes (1) holes in the
tray, (2) weld cracks, and (3) a minimum of 6-inches depth or wall height The inspection is documented
in the Daily Propellant Log Trays that fail the inspection are removed from service The trays are also
checked for hot spots from the previous burns
Open burning of reactive waste at M-136 can be conducted at Burn Stations 1 through 13 However
ATK's operating convention is to open burn reactive laboratory waste at Burn Station 13 although some
laboratory wastes such as propellant test loaves may be burned at Stations 1 through 12 The amount of
laboratory wastes treated at Burn Station 13 constitutes less than 1 percent of the total waste treated
annually at M-136 Operation of Burn Station 14 has been descnbed previously
2 32 M-225 Treatment Unit
The M-225 treatment unit receives small amounts of the reactive waste matenals from the Plant III
propellant development area The waste containers are labeled and the matenal is stored in 90-day
storage on the wastes docks and then transferred to M-225 for treatment The M-225 treatment unit is
surrounded with an 8-foot high chain link fence The waste matenals are treated via open burning or
open detonation Open detonation is conducted no more than once per day and generally occurs once
every three weeks The layout of M-225 is shown in Figures 2-5 and 2-6
Table 2-2 shows a list of M-225 treatment sources to be included in the dispersion modeling, the burn
stations associated with each M-225 source the reactive wastes treated by the each M-225 source the
treatment event quantity in lbs to be used for each M-225 source in the dispersion modeling, the
established Daily Quantity Limits (DQLs), the annual treatment quantity for each M-225 source and the
emission factors to be used in the modeling assessment for each M-225 source The maximum daily
quantity of waste that may be open burned (Source 1) at M-225 is 4,500lbs The maximum daily open
detonation treatment (Source 2) quantity at M-225 is limited to 600 lbs per day The air dispersion
modeling of M-225 treatment sources will be conducted using the Model Quantity given in for each M-
225 source shown in Table 2-2
041108/P 2-6
FINAL
APRIL 2011
The burn trays at M-225 are inspected once a week The burn tray inspecfion cntena includes (1) holes
in the tray, (2) weld cracks, and (3) a minimum of 6-inches depth or wall height The inspecfion is
documented in the Daily Propellant Log Trays that fail the inspecfion are removed from service The
trays are also checked for hot spots from the previous burns The M-225 treatment unit has the capability
of using the sump truck to remove the excess water from the trays and have it treated at the M-705
hazardous wastewater treatment plant
Within the M-225 Bum Grounds are four bum stafions with one burn stanchion in each stafion, and one
tray per station Unlike M-136 operafions the trays at M-225 are not moved from one burn station to
another Burn tray construction is comparable to those used at the M-136 Burn Grounds The trays may
be lined with soil to facilitate burning operafions however most of the trays do not contain soil
The M-225 treatment acfivifies are very similar to the operations at M-136 with only a few differences At
M-225, treatment typically occurs less frequenfiy, and involves smaller quanfifies of waste matenal
(600 pibs or less) Dunng a burn event, a burn tray is ignited and allowed to burn down and then the next
tray is ignited This roufine is followed until all the trays have completed burning The re-entry waifing
fime following a burn event at M-225 is 16 hours Open detonafion is conducted at a designated locafion
within the M-225 fenced area (See Figure 2-6) Based on QD limitations, open detonation may be
preformed aboveground or underground in a hole or pit, depending on the item to be detonated
The M-225A building is the control bunker that contains the system for finng the igniters that are placed in
the burn trays The finng system functions in the same manner as the M-136 treatment unit, which has
been descnbed previously
The reactive wastes treated by open burning at M-225 include neat double base (1 1) propellants and
composite propellants (1 3), as well as, reactive contaminated matenals such as cloth and paper wipes
metal containers plasfics, and propellant ingredients Reacfive wastes are collected in a vanety of
containers and sizes including but not limited to super sacks and buckets lined with conducfive/stafic
dissipafive bags that may contain desensifized ingredients that are the same as those used for wastes at
M-136
With the excepfion of U S EPA, waste numbers exempted by rule, the ash resulfing from the treatment of
reactive wastes at M-225 with listed EPA waste numbers, is collected and shipped for offsite disposal
All other ash is sent for disposal in the M-136 IWT A sump truck is used to remove excess water in the
burn trays The collected water is then taken to the M-705 wastewater treatment facility

3 0 WASTE CONSTITUENTS/EMISSIONS CHARACTERIZATION
In order to conduct a nsk assessment of ATK treatment operations, it is necessary to characterize the
waste constituents and emission products of the formulations that are treated via OB and OD at M-136
and M-225 The pnncipal waste formulations treated at ATK include 1 1 and 1 3 class waste propellant
matenals and flare wastes The waste constituents and emissions associated with these formulations
have been charactenzed based on the following information
• ATK detailed descnptions of reactive waste categones and associated reactive waste profiles - see
Section 3 1
• ODOBI emission test results for Class 1 3 propellants - See Section 3 2 1
• Bang Box emission test results for Class 1 1 propellants - See Section 3 2 2
• ODOBI emission test results for military ordnance illumination cartndqes, which have similar
composition to flare wastes - see Section 3 2 3
The potential for air emissions associated with ATK treatment operations can result from pretreatment
treatment, and post-treatment activities Pretreatment emissions are very limited and pnmaniy related to
the volatilization of some D003 type waste materials that are treated in burn pans All waste matenals are
delivered to each treatment unit in bags or other closed containers and are placed in the bum pans The
waste matenals remain in the bags or other closed containers , which prevents the wind dispersal of solid
waste matenals pnor to actual treatment process
The potential for post-treatment emissions are limited to wind dispersal of burn pan ash However, ATK
utilizes operating procedures that greatly reduce or eliminate the potential for wind blown emission of
solid matenals from the burn pans For example, the ash from treatment operations is collected following
a treatment event as soon as conditions are considered safe The collected ash is either placed in a
covered drum for offsite disposal or placed in an onsite landfill In addition, burn pan covers are used
whenever conditions prevent cleanout in a timely manner In addition the pans are covered after clean
out or turned upside down to prevent precipitation from collecting in the pans
As a result, fugitive emissions from pre-treatment and post-treatment operations are considered
insignificant and are not discussed in this protocol and will not be addressed in the dispersion modeling
The remainder of Section 3 pertains to the charactenzation of emissions from ATK treatment events

3 1 WASTE CHARACTERIZATION
The reactive wastes open burned and open detonated at M-136 and M-225 are classified into company-
defined reactive categones A through H which are descnbed in Table 3-1 In order to facilitate the safe
handling of these reactive wastes, ATK further charactenzes these waste matenals into waste profiles,
which are shown in Table 3-2 Table 3-2 identifies the profile reference number general descnption, and
summary of profile constituents associated with each reactivity group Table 3-3 contains a separate
waste charactenzation for reactive category G, Profile Number PR53, which contains reactive and
unstable laboratory waste chemicals ATK has developed specific in-house handling and disposal
instructions for each waste profile in order to avoid potential accidents from mishandling of these highly
energetic matenals Table 3-4 presents the ATK profile reference numbers associated with Autoliv waste
matenals within reactive category E

3 1 1 M-136 Treatment Unit
As descnbed in Section 2 3 1, the M-136 treatment unit is composed of 14 burn stations that are located
in three general areas Figure 2-3 shows the layout of each treatment station Based on the treatment
processes and relative location of the 14 burn stations the emission sources for M-136 can be
represented by three separate treatment sources for OB and one source for OD
The table below identifies the M-136 emission sources that will be evaluated in the air dispersion
modeling analysis The table also identifies the burn/detonation stations and reactive waste categones

A review of ATK treatment operations for the annual penods 2006, 2007, and 2008 indicates that the
overwhelming majonty (96 percent) of wastes treated at ATK have been associated with reactive
category A, 1 3 class propellants The inset table below summanzes the treatment quantities for all
reactive groups for the 3-year penod The 1 1 class propellants and Category E flare reactive groups
constituted only about two and one percent, respectively, of the total wastes treated

The emission factors being proposed by ATK for the treatment of 1 1 and 1 3 class propellants and
category E flare are based on emissions testing of actual ATK waste matenals The emissions testing for
1 1 and 1 3 class propellants was conducted at the Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) Open Detonation

Open Burn Improved (ODOBi) test chamber in Dugway Utah The emission factors associated with the
emissions testing for 1 3 and 1 1 class propellants are discussed in Sections 3 2 1 and 3 2 2,
respectively
Emissions testing has not been conducted to charactenze emissions associated with the treatment of
category E flare wastes which include ATK flares and Autoliv reactive wastes However ATK has
identified another reactive waste item that has a similar chemical charactenzation in companson to the
ATK category E flare wastes The emission factors for this item are found in U S EPA, AP-42 (U S EPA
July 2009) ordnance specific emission factor guidance The AP-42 emission factors are based on open
detonation emission testing of specific military ordnance (illuminating cartndges), which have ingredients
similar to the wastes associated with ATK category E flares The emission factors being proposed for
ATK category E flares and Autoliv waste are discussed in Section 3 2 3
3 2 1 Class 1 3 Waste Emission Factors
Although the waste matenals treated at M-136 and M-225 include 1 1 and 1 3 class matenals, the
majonty (96 percent) of wastes treated by ATK are 1 3 class wastes In 2006, ATK conducted emissions
testing at the DPG to obtained emission factors for Class 1 3 matenals The ODOBi test chamber was
used to determine emission factors for airborne compounds from three different compositions of Class 1 3
process waste (PW) matenals The tests were conducted from June 7 to 15 2006 Test results are
presented in the report titled Sampling Results for Emission Charactenzation of Open Burning Waste
Propellant Matenals (U S Army 2009)
Emissions were measured from simulated OB events of the following three waste scenanos that are
considered representative of 1 3 class propellant waste
• PW100 100% ammonium perchlorate (AP) propellant
. PW85-15 85% AP propellant + 15% trash
• PW65-35 65% AP propellant + 35% trash
The first matenal (PW100) was 100% Class 1 3 propellant The other two test matenals (PW85-15 and
PW65-15) consisted of a mixture of Class 1 3 propellant blended with different percentages of matenals
such as cloth paper paper wipes plastics, and cleaning items The PW85-15 trash sample was
determined by conducting a 2-week-long survey of the types and quantities of contaminated waste
coming from each live-area waste dock The 15% trash ration was based on an analysis of daily
treatment data for the past 3 years This sample is intended to be representative of most of the Class 1 3
contaminated waste streams treated at the ATK The PW65-35 trash sample was determined in a similar
manner
041108/P 3-4
FINAL
APRIL 2011
It IS important to note that the 1 3 waste testing resulted in numerous analytical results being reported as
non-detect or below background" Based on a re-evaluation of key aspects of the test, including non-
detects, blank corrections and how background values were used, the UDSHW has determined that the
inherent uncertainty associated with the emissions test and calculation of 1 3 emission factors needs to
evaluated using two data sets that reflect the range of possible emissions based on the available data
The first emission factor data set consists of a more conservative" data set uses the full method detection
limit (MDL) for non-detected compounds and background and blank values have not been subtracted out
from the test results Table 3-5 shows the 'conservative" emission factor data set, which represents the
average emission factor for all three test scenanos (PW100, PW85-15, and PW65-35)
The second set of emissions data represents a 'corrected" (less conservative) set proposed by ATK in
which all non-detects are replaced with Vz MDL (or Vi EDL) and background/blank correction has been
performed Table 3-6 shows the corrected" emission factor data set, which represents the average
emission factor for all three test scenarios (PW100, PW85-15, and PW65-35)
Using the two sets of emissions data to assess nsk will permit evaluation of the potential range in impacts
of some of the uncertainties in the emissions data This proposal assumes that the nsk results of the
conservative, or uncorrected data set will be evaluated and if emissions are acceptable, no further
analysis is required If some of the emission factors in the conservative data set produce an
unacceptable nsk and the 'corrected" data set does not, the nsk results will be reviewed to determine if
using the less conservative estimate of emissions is justified
The conservative" and corrected' emission factors presented in Tables 3-5 and 3-6, respectively, have
been approved by the UDSHW for use in the ATK evaluation of Class 1 3 matenals
3 2 2 Class 1 1 Waste Emission Factors
In September of 1997, samples representative of Class 1 1 explosive waste from the ATK Thiokol
Bacchus facility were tested and charactenzed at the Dugway Proving Grounds Bang Box chamber Test
results are provided in the report titled Draft Sampling Results for Alliant 'Slum" Emission
Characterization (Radian, 1998) These waste matenals are considered representative of the 1 1 waste
matenals treated at the M-136 and M-225 treatment units Each test sample weighed about 3 8 pounds
The matenals tested included combinations of Class 1 1 propellants along with contaminated matenals
such as cloth and paper wipes, plastics, and cleaning items as simulated in the 1 3 emission test
scenanos The assumed combination of propellant and contaminated matenals was 65 percent and
35 percent respectively
041108/P 3-5
FINAL
APRIL 2011
The 1 1 emission factors assigned half the detection level for all nondetect results A few semi-volatile
and dioxin/furan compounds were tentatively, but not positively identified by mass spectroscopy These
compounds were onginally considered non-detects, but were switched to full detects for conservatism
The Toxic Equivalency Factors (TEFs) for dioxins/furans are based on the World Health Organization
(WHO) recognized TEFs
Table 3-7 shows the emission factors associated with the emissions testing for Class 1 1 matenals
3 2 3 Category E Emission Factors
As indicated above, ATK has not conducted emissions testing for specific types of Category E waste
matenals, which include ATK flare-type wastes and Autoliv wastes (reactive air bag waste) In the
absence of test data, ATK has identified U S EPA, AP-42 (USEPA 2009) ordnance specific emission
factors for a reactive item that has a similar chemical composition m companson to ATK specific Category
E waste matenals identified above The AP-42 emission factors represent treatment of waste matenals
based on the detonation of specific military ordnance items, pnmaniy illuminating cartndges, which have
ingredients that are similar to the illuminants (flares) associated with Category E (see Table 3-1)
ATK has conducted a review of the Munitions Items Disposition Action System (MIDAS) database and
available AP-42 ordnance emission factors The review included a companson of ATK flare waste
constituent data to constituent data available from the MIDAS database for the ordnance items found in
AP-42 Section 15 3 for large cartndges Based on the review, ATK has identified emission factors for the
M816, 81-mm Infrared (IR) Illumination Cartndge The constituent profile for the M816 Illumination
Cartndge was found to be most representative of the ATK flare wastes Appendix A contains copy of
AP-42 Section 15 3 22 which descnbes the characterization of M816, 81-mm Infrared (IR) Illumination
Cartndge emissions
The charactenzation of M816 emissions is based on open detonation emissions testing conducted at the
Dugway Proving Grounds Utah Details regarding the testing are descnbed in the final test report titled
Sampling Results for USAEC Phase IX Emission Charactenzation of Exploding Ordnance and
Smoke!Pyrotechnic (URS 2008) and the document titled Detailed Test Plan for Phase IX Emission
Characterization of BurningSmokelPyrotechnics and Propellants (U S Army, 2006) The primary
emissions from the M816 81-mm IR Illumination Cartndge include carbon dioxide (C02) and particulate
matter Cntena pollutants, hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), as defined by the Clean Air Act (CAA), and
toxic chemicals are emitted at lower levels

FINAL
APRIL 2011
Table 3-8 presents emission factors associated with the treatment of the M816, 81-mm Infrared (IR)
Illumination Cartndge for evaluation the treatment of Category E ATK flare-type wastes and Autoliv
wastes The emission factors are in units of pounds of emissions lbs/lb of matenal detonated The
emission factors in Table 3-8 were calculated from emission factors listed in AP-42 Tables 15 3 22-1 and
15 3 22-2 and applying correction a correction factor of 0 108 (1/9 25) to convert the emission factor units
from Ibs/item to lbs/lb The weight of a single M816 81-mm IR Illumination Cartndge is 9 25 lbs
3 3 FINAL DISPERSION MODEL EMISSION FACTORS
Sections 3 2 1 3 2 2, and 3 2 3 present emission factors for the treatment of 1 3 11 and category E
wastes at M-136 and M-225 Although the emission factors for 1 3 and 1 1 matenals are based on actual
ATK matenals emissions testing the emission factors for addressing impacts from the treatment of
category E wastes do not represent actual ATK wastes, and are probably the best available at this time
Discussions were conducted between ATK and UDSHW regarding the best approach to represent the
maximum impact from all ATK operations and comply with UDSHW's desire to establish a lower and
upper bound for ATK emissions It was determined that the 1 3 reactive propellant emission factors given
in Tables 3-5 and 3-6 represent a conservative estimate of ATK emissions As a result it was agreed
that ATK will use the maximum 1 3 reactive OBODi propellant emission factors given in Tables 3-5 and
3-6 for all emissions sources at M-136 and M-225, regardless of waste category, in order to establish
conservation lower and upper bound for nsk assessment

TABLE 3-1
REACTIVE WASTE CATEGORIES
ATK PROMONTORY, UTAH
Category Description
A Class 1 3 Composite Propellant Without HMX, RDX, or CXM-3
These are the most common reactive wastes generated by ATK and are used m the
production of rocket motors They meet, or are believed to meet the USDOT
charactenstics of a class 1 3 explosive They are a composite propellant and are
composed of one or more oxidizers, polymer binder and a fuel The oxidizer is
predominantly ammonium perchlorate, but could also include potassium nitrate or
ammonium nitrate The fuel used in this group is aluminum powder
B Class 1 3 Composite Propellant With HMX, RDX, or CXM-3
This group is also a 1 3 or believed to be such, and is very similar to group A The
pnmary difference between A & B is that B contains vanous nitramines such as HMX
and RDX
C Class 1 1/1 3 Nitrate Ester Containing Materials
This group is generally classed as a double based 1 1 propellant It contains many of
the same ingredients as group B, but can also include nitroglycerin (NG),
nitrocellulose (NO) and a wider assortment of oxidizers A higher percentage of
nitramines and NG & NO means a lower percentage of aluminum powder and
oxidizer in these formulations This propellant is used to produce higher performance
rocket motors
D High Explosive Materials
This IS the high explosive/high energy group The composition is vanable, but they
are all classed as a 1 1 Some of the constituents in these formulations include
vanous forms of nitro benzene, sodium nitnte/nitrate, aluminum, teflon, nitroguanidine
and high percentages of nitramines such as HMX, RDX and CL-20 This matenal is
used in warhead and other similar production
E Class 1 3 Pyrotechnic, Illuminants, Metal Powders, or Autoliv ASP Products
This group is typically classed as a 1 3, but could also be a 1 1 or 1 4 It includes
pyrotechnics, illuminants, metals powders, and Autoliv reactive air bag waste The
pnmary oxidizers include potassium perchlorate & nitrate, Strontium nitrate, sodium
nitrate and ammonium perchlorate Pnmary metals include tin, indium, bismuth,
magnesium, boron, cesium and aluminum In addition to air bag production, this
waste stream is also generated from flare production and scraping of metal powder
F Oxidizers (Does Not Include High Explosives Such as HMX, RDX, or CXM-3
This group accounts for a small percentage of our total waste, and pnmaniy includes
ammonium perchlorate powder less than 15 microns This waste is typically
generated through scraped production matenals
G Development Material - R&D Lab Use Only / Indicate Suspected Category A-F
This is the developmental matenals group and is generated in the laboratones
through expenmentation, expired shelve life or from subscale production It covers
small quantities for a wide range of chemicals These chemicals are explosives,
water reactive or are chemically unstable and unsafe to transport on a public road
H Unique Waste - Indicate Disposal Profile Number in Table 3-2
This is a category that composes a small quantity of unique wastes that do not fit into
any other profiles The waste is generated from developmental work and subscale
production Some of the predominant constituents include methanol and methylene
chlonde used in poly oxetane production, and iron linoleate and other spontaneously
combustible matenals

4 0 AIR QUALITY MODELING METHODOLOGY
This section descnbes the methodology to assess the air quality impact of the M-136 and M-225
treatment units in the air dispersion modeling analysis To the extent possible the air dispersion
modeling methodology is designed to follow the procedures recommended in the HHRAP guidance
(USEPA, 2005) and direction received from UDEQ As a result, this protocol may include slight vanations
from the HHRAP protocol Every effort has made to identify these vanations and to present supporting
infonnation to justify the protocol
The following components of the modeling protocol are discussed in this section
Air Quality Dispersion Model Selection - Section 4 1
Land Use Analysis - Section 4 2
Surface Roughness - Section 4 3
OB/OD Treatment Scenanos - Section 4 4
Types of Dispersion Modeling - Section 4 5
Receptor Networks - Section 4 6
Meteorological Data - Section 4 7
Companson to Air Quality Standards and Exposure Cntena - Section 4 8
Post-Processing Activities - Section 4 9
OBODM Modeling Files - Section 4 10
4 1 AIR QUALITY DISPERSION MODEL SELECTION
Air dispersion modeling will be conducted to evaluate the impact of emissions from the M-136 and M-225
treatment units It is important to note that the HHRAP guidance (USEPA, 2005) assumes the
combustion source can be evaluated using the Industnal Source Complex Short Term 3 (ISCST3)
dispersion model for nsk assessment evaluations However, ISCST3 is considered more applicable to
sources associated with industnal facilities rather than OB and OD treatment operations The HHRAP
(USEPA 2005) guidance also acknowledges that other dispersion models may be required on a case-by-
case basis
In the case of waste treatment activities at ATK Promontory a special model is needed to simulate the
combustion cloud nse, and dispersion of OB and OD source releases OB treatment is considered a
quasi-continuous source because the treatment event is usually complete within one hour OD is
considered as an instantaneous source because treatment is completed within milliseconds ATK
conducts both OB and OD treatment at M-136 and M-225
041108/P 4-1
FINAL
APRIL 2011
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) maintains a Support Center for Regulatory
Air Models called SCRAMS The only SCRAM model that is specific to OB and OD treatment operations
IS the Open Burn/Open Detonation Dispersion Model (OBODM) (Cramer, H E 2008) OBODM has also
been identified by UDEQ as the model of choice for conducting the ATK air dispersion modeling analysis
in support of the human health and ecological nsk assessments The most recent update to the model
was issued in October 2008 (Version 1 3 24)
OBODM IS specifically designed to predict the air quality impact of OB and OD treatment of obsolete
weapons, solid rocket propellants, and associated manufactunng wastes The OB and OD treatment of
waste propellants and propellant contaminated matenals at M-136 and M-225 can be classified as
instantaneous events for OD treatment and as quasi-continuous events for OB treatment Because the
model IS specifically designed for OB and OD treatment it can accommodate source-specific input data
regarding treatment operations This allows the model to provide detail regarding the spatial and
temporal vanation of emissions and meteorological conditions and enhances the model's ability to
evaluate source impacts
OBODM predicts the downwind transport and dispersion of pollutants using plume nse and dispersion
model algonthms taken from existing USEPA approved dispersion models OBODM uses the heat
content of the energetic matenal in plume nse equations to predict the buoyant nse of the plume The
model IS also designed to use either empincal emission factors such as those denved in the Dugway
Proving Ground (DPG) Bang Box™ or emissions predicted by a products of combustion model OBODM
calculates peak air concentration time-weighted air concentrations and dosage (time-integrated
concentration) for OB and OD releases It can also consider the effects on concentration and dosage of
the gravitational settling and deposition of particulates
OBODM can produce the same output as produced by ISCST3 for input into the nsk assessment
process The capabilities and output products of OBODM include the following
• Allows the calculation of air concentration based on a unit emission rate to preclude the use of
multiple model runs for each contaminant of potential concern
• Provides output results for specific sources or source groups to evaluate the nsk from each source or
source group
• Allows the user to evaluate single case or sequential, hourly, preprocessed meteorological databases
ranging from one to 5 years
041108/P 4-2
FINAL
APRIL 2011
• Allows the user to specify the hours of the day in which matenals are treated when using a sequential
hourly meteorological database
• Allows specific input for each source, receptor location, meteorological data, and ten-am features
Source parameter data includes effective heat content, burn rate, total mass treated, and pollutant
emission factors This feature allows the modeling analysis to be tailored to replicate treatment
operations at M-136 and M-225
• As with ISCST3, OBODM can calculate vapor phase and particle phase air concentrations OBODM
also calculates particle phase deposition based on particle size distnbution In this modeling analysis,
vapor phase deposition will be calculated using the vapor phase air concentration and deposition
velocity as recommended in Section 3 1 1 of the HHRAP (USEPA, 2005) Particulate deposition will
be calculated using gravitational settling OBODM does not calculate wet deposition However, the
wet deposition mechanism is not applicable at ATK because treatment is not conducted dunng
precipitation events
OBODM has additional features that make it well suited for use at ATK These features include
• The topography in the immediate vicinity of ATK is characterized by significant changes in elevation
commonly referred to as "complex terrain" OBODM contains a screening procedure for addressing
air dispersion in complex terrain that is based on procedures used by the other USEPA approved
dispersion models (i e , SHORTZ/LONGZ)
• OBODM uses semi-empincal DPG dispersion coefficients, which directly relates OB plume and puff
growth to atmosphenc turbulence and wind shear OBODM also uses the DPG vertical dispersion
coefficient, which relates vertical OB plume growth to vertical turbulence intensity and includes the
effects of entrainment dunng buoyant plume nse
4 2 LAND USE ANALYSIS
Land use information is used for the selection of certain air dispersion modeling vanables These
vanables include air dispersion coefficients and surface roughness The land use charactenstics
surrounding a source of air emissions can be detemnmed from United States Geological Service (USGS)
7 5-minute topographic maps, aenal photographs or visual surveys of the area The land use
classification for the area surrounding the M-136 and M-225 treatment units was determined from the
Thatcher Mountain 7 5-minute (1 24,000 scale) quadrangle using the Auer method (Auer, 1978) as
descnbed in Section 3 2 2 1 of the HHRAP guidance (USEPA, 2005)
041108/P 4-3
FINAL
APRIL 2011
Using this method, areas are defined as either "rural' or urban' The Auer method establishes four
pnmary land use types industnal, commercial, residential, and agncultural Industnal, commercial, and
compact residential areas are classified as urban For air quality modeling purposes an area is defined
as urban if more than 50 percent of the surface area within 3 km of the source falls under an urban land
use type Otherwise, the area is determined to be rural
A radius of 3 km beyond each treatment unit was inspected to define whether the area within 3 km is rural
or urban according to Auers definitions This inspection resulted in a rural classification for both
treatment units Next, the 3 km radius area was broken down into smaller areas (100 meters by
100 meters) Each small area was then classified either as rural or urban The total count of rural areas
was greater than 50 percent surrounding each treatment unit As a result, the land use classification of
ATK Promontory is rural for the M-136 and M-225 treatment units
Results of the land use analysis are presented in Appendix B
4 3 SURFACE ROUGHNESS HEIGHT
The surface roughness height (length) assumed for this modeling analysis is based on the methodology
given in Section 3 2 2 2 of the HHRAP guidance (USEPA, 2005) The results of land use classification
and a five-year wind rose for the ATK M-245 on-site meteorological monitonng station were used to
calculate site-specific surface roughness heights for both treatment units Using the HHRAP guidance
methodology all wind sectors were classified as desert shrub land
Table 3-3 in the HHRAP guidance (USEPA, 2005) presents seasonal values of surface roughness for
desert shrub land An annual site-specific surface roughness height of 0 26 was calculated for ATK
based on the average of the four seasonal surface roughness coefficients
4 4 OB/OD TREATMENT SCENARIOS
In order to calculate the air quality impact of OB and OD treatment operations, OBODM requires specific
mfomriation regarding the charactenstics of the source of treatment emissions For example, OBODM
requires input data indicating the type of energetic matenal being treated how it is being treated (OB or
OD), the heat content burn rate of the matenal, the amount of matenal being treated, the size source,
and the release height
The following treatment scenanos will be evaluated in the air dispersion modeling analysis for ATK OB
and OD treatment operations
041108/P 4-4
FINAL
APRIL 2011
• OB treatment at M-136
• OB treatment at M-225
• OD treatment at M-136
• OD treatment at M-225
The M-136 Unit has 14 treatment stations OB is conducted at stations 1-14 OD is conducted at stations
13 and 14 All OB treatment is conducted in pans with the exception of Burn Station 14, which consists of
a pad used for the OB of whole rocket motors The OD hole or pit is not covered dunng OD treatment
Based on quantity distance (QD) limitations, open detonation may be performed above ground or
underground in a hole or pit, depending on the item to be detonated
The M-225 Unit has four burn stations and one detonation area The OD hole or pit is not covered dunng
OD treatment Based on QD limitations, open detonation may be performed above ground or
underground in a hole or pit, depending on the item to be detonated
Although the OBODM model has the capability to model multiple source scenanos and locations in the
same model run (must have same heat content) the model has a 100 receptor limitation per model run
which necessitates numerous model runs to evaluate large receptor networks and precludes the
modeling of individual M-136 treatment stations
ATK will consolidate certain M-136 and M-225 OB treatment stations into a subset of source areas
representing either all or part of the treatment unit USEPA guidance (USEPA, 1992) allows the merging
of multiple emission points that are located within 100 meters of each other, if the emission points have
similar release parameters A similar type situation exists for the area compnsed of burn stations 1
through 12 at M-136 (see Figure 2-3) For example burn stations 1-12 are all located within a 100-meter
radius of the center point of the area compnsed of burn stations 1-12 A center point for this area can
represent the treatment operations that are conducted at the burn stations 1-12 The burn stations in this
area treat similar matenals and are assumed to have similar release parameters (e g , pan size, release
height, and heat content) The proposed dimensions of the single emission point representing the merger
of BS 1-12 IS discussed in Section 4 4 12 and shown in Table 4-1 ATK will treat stations 13 and 14 as
separate emission sources because of the large separation distance (greater than 100 meters) from
stations 1-12 and each other The source parameters for all M-136 sources are presented in Table 4-1
The proposed heat content values for modeling emissions from the treatment of reactive waste matenals
was determined using the NASA-Lewis Thermochemical model NASA-Lewis Thermochemical model
runs were completed for three compositions to simulate treatment scenanos, one composition burning
pure 1 3 propellant and two compositions burning pure propellant and different percentages of waste

APRIL 2011
matenals (PW85-15 and PW65-35) at ambient pressure as descnbed in Section 3 2 1 Decane was
chosen as a substitute matenal in the model for the different percentages of trash mixtures since most
waste matenals would be carbon- and hydrogen- containing matenals (diesel desensitizer, paper, wipes,
polystyrenes plastics, support matenals, etc ), whose exact composition could vary Decane contnbutes
no oxidative species (has no oxygen in the molecule) that would aid in better combustion, so it can be
considered as a worst case representation The goal of the model calculations was to examine
theoretical flame temperatures of the propellant and the mixtures The NASA Lewis model calculations
are presented in Appendix A The first composition was pure propellant (PW100), the second
composition was an 85 15 mixture of propellant and decane (to simulate PW85 15), the third was a 65 35
mixture of propellant and decane (to simulate PW65 35) The results of the NASA-Lewis model runs are
shown in below

On June 3, 2009, ATK presented this data and information to the UDSHW Dunng this meeting, it was
agreed that based on this data, a value of approximately 1400 was appropnate for a 1 3 propellant heat
content value The 1 3 heat content value of 1,471 cal/g was chosen since it was the most conservative

value resulting from the NASA-Lewis Model output, and it corresponded well with the test results from the
bomb calonmeter As a result, ATK is proposing to use a heat content value of 1,471 cal/gm for all M-136
and M-225 emission sources As indicated in Section 3 3 ATK will use the 1 3 reactive propellant
emission factors given in Tables 3-5 and 3-6 for all emissions sources at M-136 and M-225 (see
Tables 2-1 and 2-2),
The objective of the OBODM modeling analysis will be to evaluate all potential daily operating hours on
an annual basis ATK conducts only one treatment event per day at both M-136 and M-225 OBODM will
assume that one treatment event takes place each hour at each source within the range of potential daily
operating hours, which is assumed to be between 1000 and 1800 hours As a result, the frequency of
treatment events modeled will overestimate the expected operations at both M-136 and M-225 on an
annual basis Post-processing of the modeling results will account for the maximum daily per event
treatment quantity and the maximum annual treatment quantities proposed by ATK in Tables 2-1 and 2-2
The post-processing step is discussed in Section 4 9
A summary of the source parameters treatment quantities and other assumptions that will be used in the
air dispersion modeling analysis for the M-136 and M-225 treatment units are presented in Sections 4 4 1
and 4 4 2 respectively
441 M-136 Treatment Unit
M-136 IS the pnmary open burning treatment unit at ATK The M-136 treatment unit will conduct treatment
of 1 1 and 1 3 class waste and Category E wastes Based on the maximum annual treatment quantities
proposed in Tables 2-1 and 2-2 the M-136 units will treat 99 percent of the total ATK annual waste in
companson to M-225
4 4 11 M-136 Source Parameters
The air dispersion modeling analysis for the M-136 treatment unit will include the following four (4)
sources groups
• Source 1 - OB of 1 1 13 and Category E waste at stations 1 through 12
• Source 2 - OB of 1 1 13, and Category E waste at Station 13
• Source 3 - OB of 1 1 and 1 3 waste (including rocket motors) at Station 14
• Source 4 - OD of 1 1 and 1 3 waste at Stations 13 and 14 in a single area
041108/P 4-7
FINAL
APRIL 2011
The proposed source parameters for the M-136 sources are given in Table 4-1 Table 4-1 also shows the
proposed per event treatment quantities that will be used in OBODM for each M-136 source, as well as
the proposed maximum annual treatment quantity for each M-136 source
4 4 12 Other Modeling Assumptions for M-136
OBODM will be setup to assume the following about treatment activities at M-136
• Assume that all M-136 sources are at the same base elevation as BS 1-12, Elevation = 4,587 feet in
order to consolidate gravitational settling modeling due to the limited number of receptors that can be
evaluated per run of OBODM The actual net elevation difference between the three M-136 treatment
locations is only 36 feet (11 meters) Therefore, this assumption is not expected to affect the
modeling results for M-136
• Include all four M-136 sources groups in single OBODM run Each Source will have a separate
coordinate (x,y) location reflecting its relative position within M-136 and each source will be assigned
to a source group to give the individual contnbution from each source to a receptor
• The four source groups for M-136 will include the following
- Source 1 - Burn Stations 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 9 10, 11, and 12 OB treatment
Source 2 - Burn Station 13 OB treatment
Source 3 - Burn Station 14 OB treatment
Source 4 - Burn Station 14 OD treatment
• The burn pans used at M-136 Burn Stations 1-12 burn stations (Source 1) are not all the same size
Because source group 1 represents a merger of Burn Stations 1-12, an average pan size has been
was calculated for based on the existing burn pans sizes and the normal configuration of burn pans
The typical pan sizes used at M-136 are 5'x 16 8'x 20', and 8'x 8 Currently seventy percent of the
trays are 5'x16 When they burn the trays at Source 1 (BS 1-12) they are usually placed in a long
row of 12 - 14 trays in the row When they burn the trays at Source 2 (BS 13) they typically use
3 small trays 3'x 7', and an 8 x 8 and then a 6 x 6' that are essentially arranged in a rectangular
configuration There are no burn pans at Source 3 (BS-14) or Source 4 (BS-14)
Based on the burn pan configurations descnbe above ATK is proposing the following revised
dimensions for each M-136 source
041108/P 4-8
FINAL
APRIL 2011
Source 1 - 224' x 5' (14, 5' x 16' trays in a row which is the maximum burn scenano for Source 1)
Source 2 - 17' x 7 (an area that includes 3 small trays, 3'x 7' and an 8'x 8' and then a 6'x 6'
which IS the maximum burn scenano for Source 2)
• Release height for OB treatment at all M-136 source groups is 1 0 meter
• OBODM will assume one treatment event per hour dunng the hours 1000 to 1800 The total annual
treatment hours modeled for each M-136 source will be = 9 hours/day x 365 days/year =
3,285 hours/year
• OB source release quasi-continuous (volume source)
• OD source release instantaneous (volume source)
• OBODM will assume that treatment days include all days of the year in order to calculate the worst-
case 1-hour air dispersion factors at each receptor for each annual period
• Dispersion modeling types for M-136 will include the following
Gas phase air concentrations
Particle phase air concentrations
Particle-bound air concentrations
Particle phase gravitational deposition
Particle-bound phase gravitational deposition
Gas phase deposition
• Gas and particulate phase modeling will utilize a unit emission rate of 1 0 Ib/hr as recommended by
the HHRAP (USEPA, 2005)
• Particulate phase modeling will include particle size information to include gravitational settling (see
Section 4 5) as recommended by HHRAP guidance (USEPA 2005)
4 42 M-225 Treatment Unit
The M-225 Unit will treat small amounts of 1 1 and 1 3 class waste and Category E waste OB will be
conducted in burn pans OD treatment of pure propellant will be conducted at one OD pit OD treatment
consists of placing the waste matenal in a small, excavated pit that has a diameter of 1 5 meters The
041108/P 4-9
FINAL
APRIL 2011
treatment pit is not covered with soil and is considered as a surface detonation Based on QD limitations,
open detonation may be performed above ground or underground in a hole or pit, depending on the item
to be detonated
As shown in Figure 2-6, the M-225 burn pans and OD pit are located within a 200 foot x 500 foot
rectangular area All M-225 treatment locations are within 60 meters of the center of this treatment area
and there are no significant changes in elevation M-225 treatment activities at Source Groups 1 and 2
will be modeled separately for OB and OD treatment, respectively The source parameters for M-225 OB
and OD treatment sources are summanzed in Table 4-2
4 4 2 1 M-225 Source Parameters
The air dispersion modeling analysis for the M-225 treatment unit will include the following two sources
groups and waste categones
• Source Group 1 - OB of 1 1, 1 3, and Category E wastes
• Source Group 2 - OD of 1 1 and 1 3 wastes
The proposed source parameters for the M-225 sources are given in Table 4-2 Table 4-2 also shows the
proposed per event treatment quantities that will be used in OBODM for each M-225 source, as well as
the proposed maximum annual treatment quantity for each M-225 source
4 4 2 2 Other Modeling Assumptions for M-225
OBODM will be setup to assume the following about treatment activities at M-225
• Both sources (OB and OD) have the same coordinate and elevation elevation = 4,597 feet above
mean sea level to consolidate gravitational settling modeling for both sources in a single model run
• Include two M-225 sources groups in single OBODM run Each source group will have a separate
coordinate (x,y) location reflecting its relative position within M-225 and each source will be assign to
a source group to give the individual contnbution from each source to a receptor
• The two source groups for M-225 will include the following
- Source 1 - M-225 Burn Stations 1,2,3 4, and 5 for OB treatment
Source 2 - Single OD treatment pit
041108/P 4-10
FINAL
APRIL 2011
• Each source configuration is based on histoncal treatment information
For OB at M225 Source 1, assume 5 18m x 1 83
For OD at M225 Source 2, assume 1 5 meter diameter pit
• Release height for OB = 1 0 meters
• Release height for OD = 0 meters (ground level)
• OB source release quasi-continuous (volume source)
• OD source release instantaneous (volume source)
• Dispersion modeling types for M-136 will include the following
Gas phase air concentrations
Particle phase air concentrations
Particle-bound air concentrations
Particle phase gravitational deposition
Particle-bound phase gravitational deposition
Gas phase deposition
• Gas and particulate phase modeling will be conducted using a unit emission rate of 1 0 Ib/hr as
recommended by HHRA guidance (USEPA, 2005)
• Assume 1 treatment event per hour
• Assume treatment window mns from 1000 to 1800 The total annual treatment hours modeled for
each M-225 source will be = 9 hours/day x 365 days/year - 3,285 hours/year
Treatment days include all days of the year in order to calculate the worst-case 1-hour air
dispersion factor for each source in each annual penod
Particulate phase modeling will include particle size information to include gravitational settling
(see Section 4 5) as recommended by HHRAP guidance (USEPA 2005)
041108/P 4-11
FINAL
APRIL 2011
4 5 TYPES OF DISPERSION MODELING
As indicated above in Sections 4 4 11 and 4 4 12 several types of dispersion modeling will be
conducted for M-136 and M-225 in support of the HHRA These include model calculations of air
concentrations and deposition associated with gas phase particle phase, and particle-bound air
emissions
The air dispersion modeling and HHRA will not address wet deposition because ATK does not conduct
treatment operations dunng precipitation events The HHRA will address the dry deposition of particulate
phase (gravitational settling) and gas phase (non-gravitational settling) pollutants from treatment
operations at M-136 and M-225 The sum of these two deposition mechanisms is assumed to represent
total dry deposition Therefore, the total annual dry deposition will be computed as follows
Total Dry Deposition (pg/m^/yr) = gravitational settling + Non-gravitational settling (pg/m^/yr)
Further information regarding each type of dispersion modeling is presented below in Sections 4 5 1
through 4 5 4
4 5 1 Gas Phase and Particulate Air Concentrations
OBODM will be used to calculate air concentrations for treatment emissions in gas (vapor) phase
OBODM will calculate peak concentrations, time-mean concentrations, and dosage (time-integrated)
concentrations
4 5 2 Particle and Particle-Bound Phase Air Concentrations
OBODM will be used to calculate concentrations for treatment emissions in particle phase OBODM will
calculate peak concentrations, time-mean concentrations, and dosage (time-integrated) concentrations
All particle phase modeling runs will use a particle size distnbution
ATK has not conducted particle size distnbution testing of OB and OD emissions In addition, other
representative particle size distnbution data for OB and OD of energetic matenals cannot be identified at
this time As a result, ATK feels there is no representative available test data to determine separate
particle size distnbutions for OB and OD treatment ATK will utilize a single particle size distnbution that
will be generated by OBODM OBODM requires the user to enter the number of particle-size categones,
mass-median diameter, and geometnc standard deviation of the particle distnbution
A study conducted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA 1973) investigated the
particle size distnbution (but no standard deviation) for aluminum oxide particles from rocket propellants
041108/P 4-12
FINAL
APRIL 2011
Aluminum oxides particles are a combustion product of the matenals treated at M-136 and M-225 based
on Bang-box testing results The results of the NASA study indicate a mean mass aluminum oxide
particle size of 12 3 micrometers (^m) However, it is important to note that ATK also treats contaminated
waste matenals The combustion of these matenals is expected to result m larger particle size diameters
and a higher mean mass particle size ATK is assuming that the mass mean-median diameter for both
OB and OB treatment is approximately 30 microns
As indicated in Section 3 2, 1 3 class waste materials constitute about 96 percent of the wastes treated
annually at ATK The results of the ODOBi emissions testing of 1 3 class waste matenals detemnmed that
the most abundant metal (particulate) m 1 3 emissions is aluminum Aluminum has a density of

Based on this available particle information, ATK is proposing the following assumptions for particulate
deposition modeling with OBODM
• A density of 2 7 g/cm^ will be assumed for particulate, which is based on ODOBi test results and is
comparable to the DOE study (DOE, 1984)
• A mass median particle diameter of 30 0 pm
• A particle size standard deviation of 2 0 ^m in order to account for a reasonable measure of size
distnbution vanability
• OBODM will generate a particle size distnbution based on 10 particle size categones This is the
OBODM model default
• For the particle phase, OB and OD emissions will be modeled using the fraction of total mass for the
assumed particle size distnbution Particle-bound deposition modeling will utilize the assumed
particle size distnbution generated by OBODM and the calculated fraction of total surface area for
each of the 10 particle size categones, which is shown m Table 4-4
4 5 3 Deposition Modeling
The OBODM dispersion model can be used to provide deposition estimates (i e , the air to ground
pathway) Deposition mechanisms for air releases can include the following
041108/P 4-13
FINAL
APRIL 2011
• Gravitational settling of particulates
• Nongravitational dry deposition of particulates and gases
• Wet deposition of particulates and gases (not being evaluated in this protocol)
Total deposition is the sum of the above mechanisms
Gravitational Settling
OBODM has the capability to calculate gravitational settling when run in the particulate phase mode
(i e , all emissions are assumed to be particulates) The available emission factors from the OBODi Bang
Box tests for particulates (including metals) are based on PMIO sampling Particle size distnbution
information for those tests is not available The emissions based on PMIO would be expected to behave
as a gas and not have significant gravitational settling Emissions greater than 10 microns would be
expected to settle out on the ground at or near the OB and OD units Although the OBODM model has
an option for gravitational settling it does not have the compatibility to calculate dry or wet deposition
The OBODM model needs as input, particle size distnbution information, median particle size, and
specific gravity for the calculation of gravitational settling velocity However, this OB/OD source-specific
information was not available for the ATK modeling, therefore the following assumptions will be used as
OBODM input for gravitational settling modeling
• Assumed density of 2 7 g/cm^ for particulates, which is the density of aluminum Results from the
OBODI testing indicate aluminum to be the most abundant metal in the OB and OD emissions
• Assumed mass median particle diameter of 10 pm (based on NASA, 1973)
• Assumed particle size standard deviation of 2 0 pm in order to account for a reasonable measure of
size distnbution vanability
• Utilize OBODM default loganthmic particle size and mass distnbution based on 10 particle size
categones for particulate modeling
• A separate particle bound mass distnbution was created using guidance found in Section 3 2 3 of the
HHRAP (USEPA 2005) in support of the human health nsk assessment
041108/P 4-14
FINAL
APRIL 2011
Dry Deposition
Dry deposition (nongravitational) for particulates and gas emission is not calculated by OBODM
However, OBODM modeling results for the "gaseous" phase (e g , assuming all of the emissions are in
the gas phase) will be used to determine deposition rates (e g , micrograms of deposition per square
meter of soil surface area) in flat and complex terrain This approach is consistent with OBODM guidance
(page 17 of U S Army, Apnl 1998) and is considered to be conservative because the air concentrations
calculated are nondepleted (e g removal of mass from the cloud as a function of downwind distance is
not accounted for)
A conservative deposition velocity of 0 03 meters/seconds (m/s) will be used for this assessment, which is
the default value specified in the HHRAP (USEPA, September, 2005) guidance As a companson, the
gravitational settling velocity for particles of 2 g/cm^ and 10 pm diameters is reported as approximately
0 01 m/s (DOE 1984, page 755) Dry deposition in flat and complex terrain will be calculated as follows
Non-gravitational Dry Deposition (pg/m^) - Air Concentration (pg/m^) x Deposition Velocity (m/s)
This approach is consistent with HHRAP (USEPA, September, 2005) and OBODM (U S Army Apnl
1998) guidance and is also considered to be conservative because the calculated air concentration is
based on a non-depleted plume (e g , no mass has been removed for the treatment plume)
Wet Deposition
The OBODM model also does not have the capability to calculate wet deposition However this
deposition mechanism is not applicable to the OBOD releases at ATK because treatment operations do
not occur dunng precipitation events
4 6 RECEPTOR NETWORKS
All receptors used in the ATK dispersion modeling analysis will be based on a Cartesian gnd system
ATK IS proposing to use two types of receptor networks will be used in the analysis general and discrete
A general receptor network will extend out to 10 km from each treatment units and will be used for
locating the maximum on-site and offsite short term and long-term (annual) receptor locations The
discrete receptor network will consist of special receptors that will support the human health and
ecological nsk assessments The general and discrete receptor networks are discussed in Sections 4 6 1
and 4 6 2 respectively
041108/P 4-15
FINAL
APRIL 2011
The Universal Transverse Medcator (UTM) coordinates and terrain elevations for all receptors and
treatment units will be based on United States Geological Service (USGS) Digital Elevation Map (DEM)
gnds of 1 24,000 at a resolution of 1 meter The website to access DEM files from the USGS is
http //data qeocomm com/dem/demdownload html The GeoCommunity website has a partnership with
USGS to provide the DEM data
4 6 1 Discrete Receptor Grid
Discrete receptors are defined as special receptors that exist within, on, or beyond the ATK boundary and
represent human and ecological exposure points These locations include on-site areas occupied by ATK
employees, the facility boundary, nearby residential dwellings, the closest population center or town
worker exposure at an offsite commercial businesses and ecological receptor exposure points
The following is a list of discrete receptors that will be evaluated each treatment unit in the dispersion
modeling analysis
• The Adam's Ranch, which is the closest domestic dwelling to M-136 is located approximately 3 km
south-southwest of M-136
• The Holmgren Ranch, which is the closest domestic dwelling to the M-225 is located approximately
2 km east-southeast of M-225
• Four facility boundary receptors that are selected based on the annual prevailing wind direction
measured over a five-year penod (1997 through 2001) at the M-245 meteorological monitonng
station
• AutoLiv Facility This is an off-site commercial business located between the M-136 and M-225
treatment units
• Chnstensen Residence This residential dwelling is located due north of ATK
• Blue Creek perennial stream, which runs along the western boundary of M-136
• The Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge located about 10 5 km south-southwest of M-225
• The Salt Creek Waterfowl Management Area located 13 km east of ATK and
041108/P 4-16
FINAL
APRIL 2011
• The Thiokol Ranch Pond, which is located approximately 14 km southwest of M-225
• The Howell Dairy Farm just north of the ATK northern property boundary
• The Town of Penrose located approximately 7 miles southeast of M-136
• The Town of Thatcher located approximately 7 5 miles due east of M-136
• Two on-site discrete receptors to assess potential nsk to ATK workers that are not directly involved
with the activities at the M-136 and M-225 treatment units The proposed new on-site receptors
represent areas where most non-treatment related employees spend their time on-site The new on-
site discrete receptors include the following
North Plant Mam Administration Building and Mam Manufactunng Area- 2 5 miles north of M-136
and 6 7 miles north-northwest of M-225
South Plant Mam Administration Building and Mam Manufactunng area - 1 8 miles south of
M-136 and 3 9 miles west-northwest of M-225
All discrete receptors listed above are shown in Figure 4-1
4 6 2 General Receptor Grid
ATK IS proposing to use a general receptor gnd extending out 10 km from each treatment unit The
general receptor gnd will include receptors spaced at 100-meter intervals from each treatment unit out to
3 km and receptors spaced at 500-meter intervals beyond 3 km out to 10 km ATK believes the 10 km
general gnd extends far enough out from the treatment units to identify the location of maximum short-
term and long-term on-site and offsite receptor locations associated with each treatment unit Due to the
large separation distance between the M-136 and M-225 treatment units, separate general gnd systems
are proposed for each treatment unit The proposed general gnd networks for the M-136 and M-225
treatment units are shown in Figures 4-2 through 4-5, respectively
The general gnd extending from the M-136 and M-225 treatment areas out to 3 km includes on-site
receptors At the request of UDSHW, these receptors will be used to evaluate on-site for OB/OD
treatment unit workers The on-site receptors extend from beyond the M-136 quantity-distance (Q-D)
arcs out to the facility boundary in all directions

4 7 METEOROLOGICAL DATA
The meteorological data requirements for OBODM are histoncal hourly averages of wind speed and wind
direction atmosphenc stability class, air temperature, and urban or rural mixing height These
meteorological parameters represent a combination of surface and upper air data and are available from
several different sources including the National Weather Service (NWS), military installations or as part of
an on-site measurement program The meteorological data used in an air dispersion modeling analysis
should be selected based on spatial and climatological representativeness, as well as the ability of the
data to charactenze the transport and dispersion in the area of concern Spatial and geographical
representativeness is best achieved by using on-site meteorological data As a result, site-specific
measured data is therefore preferred as modeling input (USEPA September 2000), provided appropnate
instrumentation and quality assurance procedures are followed and the data is compatible with the
requirements of the dispersion model
47 1 Surface Data
ATK IS proposing to use five-years (1997 through 2001) of on-site meteorological data collected at the
M-245 meteorological monitonng station ATK operates the on-site monitonng station approximately
1 5 km southwest of the M-225 treatment unit at an elevation of about 5,000 feet above mean sea level
(amsl) The monitonng station is operated in accordance with the USEPA monitonng guidance for the
collection of on-site meteorological data (USEPA, 2000) Table 4-5 shows the frequency distnbution of
16 wind direction sectors for each individual year and the average of all 5 years
The monitonng station consists of a 10-meter tower that collects the following data at the 10-meter level
Wind speed
Wind direction
Standard deviation of the honzontal wind (sigma theta)
Temperature
Relative humidity
Barometnc pressure
The wind speed, wind direction and air temperature are considered cntical parameters for input into
OBODM However the M-245 station does not collect all required meteorological data for prepanng the
meteorological input file necessary to run OBODM The data recovery percentage for all vanables
monitored at Station M-245 dunng the five-year penod is shown in Table 4-6 The percentages shown in
Table 4-6 represent data recovery after validation The data recovery percentage for all cntical model
vanables was greater than 90 percent, which is recommended (USEPA, February 2000) in order to use
041108/P 4-18
FINAL
APRIL 2011
on-site meteorological data in a regulatory modeling analysis With the exception of wind speed, wind
direction, and temperature in 1999, the amount of missing data in each annual penod was in the range of
one to SIX percent As a result, missing data does not constitute a significant portion of the meteorological
database for the most cntical vanables
The monitonng plan for the M-245 station includes quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures
to ensure that the data collected meets the standards of reliability and accuracy as required by USEPA
(USEPA, February 2000) The QA/QC procedures implemented by ATK at this station include semi-
annual audits and calibrations of instruments penodic site inspections, data validation and preventive
maintenance Meteorological data collected at this on-site station has been approved by the Utah
Department of Environmental Quality (UDEQ) for use in pnor modeling analyses to evaluate the air
quality impact of ATK OB and OD treatment operations
The meteorological data collected at the M-245 station is recommended to be appropnate for use in this
modeling analysis for the following reasons
1 Data recovery statistics for the 1997 to 2001 on-site meteorological database exceed USEPA
minimum requirements for on-site data recovery
2 Each annual penod of data has been validated by an independent consultant
3 ATK IS located in a remote area of northern Utah As a result, the potential for finding additional local
sources of hourly, climatological data that depict local climatology and satisfy the requirements of
OBODM IS extremely low The nearest available source of validated hourly surface observation data
(including sky condition) is located at Hill Air Force Base (AFB) in Hill, Utah Hill is located
approximately 30 miles southeast of ATK The M-245 meteorological monitonng station is located
5 miles and 1 mile, respectively, from M-136 and M-225 treatment units and has been approved by
UDEQ for use in pnor ATK modeling analyses
4 Because previous air dispersion modeling has not been conducted for treatment operations at M-136
and M-225, Hill AFB has not been used as a surrogate for missing meteorological data In addition to
the meteorological parameters measured at the M-245 monitonng station, the meteorological
preprocessor used to prepare the meteorological input file for OBODM requires hourly values of
opaque cloud cover and ceiling height These parameters are not measured at M-245 Hourly values
of opaque cloud cover and ceiling height are only available from 1^' class NWS reporting stations
The closest I*" class reporting station to ATK is located at Hill AFB In addition to being the closest 1^'
reporting station to ATK, Hill AFB and M-245 have climatological and topographical similanties that
041108/P 4-19
FINAL
APRIL 2011
support of the selection of Hill AFB as a source of substitute data based on elevation, alignment of
the terrain and valley at both locations and other conditions descnbed in Section 4 7 1 The use of
surface data from Hill AFB will be addressed as a source of uncertainty in the air modeling report
5 The M-245 monitonng station is located on a hilltop southwest of M-225 This station has been sited
in accordance with Prevention of Significant Detenoration (PSD) monitonng guidance (USEPA, 1987)
and IS considered representative of the free stream wind flow that transports emissions from the
M-136 and M-225 treatment units This station is also representative of the diurnal vanations in wind
patterns that are charactenstic of mountain valley winds in the western United States (AMS 2002)
In addition to the meteorological parameters measured at the M-245 monitonng station hourly values of
opaque cloud cover and ceiling height are needed in order to preprocess the meteorological data for input
into OBODM Hourly values of opaque cloud cover and ceiling height are only available from 1^ class
NWS reporting stations These stations are usually operated by the NWS or the military The closest 1^'
class reporting station to ATK is located at Hill AFB Hill AFB hourly observation data for opaque cloud
cover and ceiling height are available from the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) for the same 5-year
penod as the ATK on-site data ATK is proposing to merge hourly observations of cloud cover and ceiling
height from Hill AFB with M-245 station hourly data to develop the required surface data for input a
meteorological data preprocessing program (PCRAMMET - see Section 4 7 3)
As indicated in Table 4-7, there are varying percentages of missing data the M-245 five-year database
The meteorological preprocessor program that will be used to prepare input files for OBODM requires a
complete dataset for an entire year In other words, missing data values must be filled in with substitute
data The substitute data is normally obtained from a nearby location that has similar climatological
charactenstics
ATK IS proposing to follow the guidance recommended by USEPA (USEPA, 2000) for the substitution of
missing data Missing 1-hour penods of surface data will be substituted by interpolation of the previous
and following hour's values For penods greater than 1-hour data will be substituted from the nearest
representative hourly reporting station, which is Hill AFB In addition to reporting hourly cloud cover and
ceiling height this station also reports hourly values of wind speed wind direction and temperature Due
to Its same geographical location and similar topography setting. Hill AFB has been selected as a source
of representative substitute data for missing data
In addition to being the closest 1^' reporting station to ATK, Hill AFB and ATK have climatological and
topographical similarities that support of the selection of Hill AFB as a source of substitute data
041108/P 4-20
FINAL
APRIL 2011
• Hill AFB IS located at the base of a valley similar to ATK
• The alignment of the complex terrain and valley at both monitonng locations is pnmaniy north to
south
• Hill AFB IS bounded by higher terrain (Wasatch Mountains) The ATK site is bounded by higher
terrain (Spnng Hills)
• Both ATK and Hill AFB are located between 25 to 30 miles northeast of the Great Salt Lake Any
influence from the Great Salt Lake is expected to be similar at both locations
• The amount of missing data from the M-245 station in each annual penod was in the range of one to
SIX percent As a result, substitute wind speed, wind direction and temperature data from Hill AFB will
not constitute a significant portion of missing meteorological database for the most cntical vanables
4 7 2 Upper Air Observations (Mixing Height Data)
Upper air data, also known as mixing height data, is required to run OBODM Twice daily mixing heights
available from upper air sounding stations are used by the meteorological preprocessor program to
calculate hourly rural or urban mixing height data for input into OBODM Upper air sounding data is
normally obtained from National Weather Service upper air reporting stations The number of upper air
reporting stations in the western United States is very limited due to operational requirements and
budgetary constraints, which play a key role in the determining where and how many stations are
operated As a result, this condition limits the availability of upper air reporting stations near to a source
The closest NWS upper station to ATK is located in Salt Lake City, which is about 80 miles south of ATK
The next closest NWS upper air reporting station is located in Lander, Wyoming which is about 190 miles
northeast of ATK Although considerable site-to-site vanability is expected for measurements taken close
to the surface compared to upper air measurements, ATK believes the upper air sounding measurements
from Salt Lake City are generally representative of a much larger spatial domain which includes the
northern Utah valley
It IS important to note that the PCRAMMET preprocessor program uses the Holzworth Method (USEPA
1996) to calculate twice-daily mixing heights With this method, the morning mixing height is calculated
using the morning minimum surface temperature which occurs between 0200 and 0600 hours The
afternoon mixing height is calculated using the maximum temperature observed from 1200 to 1600 hours
As a result the surface temperature is an important factor in the mixing height computation routine ATK
041108/P 4-21
FINAL
APRIL 2011
will use a combination of upper air data from Salt Lake City and surface temperature observations from
M-245 and Hill AFB to produce twice-daily mixing heights
Other cntical meteorological parameters used by PCRAMMET to calculate mixing height include cloud
cover and ceiling height, which are only available from 1^' class NWS stations As indicated previously
the M-245 station does not collect cloud cover and cloud ceiling height data As a result, it is necessary
to obtain these parameters from another nearby location that is most representative of meteorological
conditions at ATK
Based on a review of 1*' class NWS stations near ATK, it is assumed that Hill AFB is a suitable choice for
hourly meteorological parameters that are not available at M-245 m companson to other nearby NWS
stations such as Salt Lake City for several reasons Hill AFB is geographically much closer to ATK and is
assumed to be located beyond the urban heat flux influence of Salt Lake City In addition, the NWS Salt
Lake City reporting station is located only 10 miles from the Great Salt Lake which is known to influence
local climate Depending on the time of the year, the temperature of the Great Salt Lake can moderate
local temperatures and affect the lake/valley wind system As a result, the use of cloud cover and ceiling
height observations from Hill AFB is expected to be more representative of conditions at M-245 and will
provide consistency in the calculation of stability class in the meteorological preprocessor
4 7 3 Meteorological Preprocessor
The surface observation and mixing height data files for each annual penod will be preprocessed for input
into OBODM using PCRAMMET (USEPA 1995b) as recommended in the HHRAP guidance (USEPA
July 1998 and August 1999) The format of the PCRAMMET output file is compatible for use with
OBODM
The input requirements for PCRAMMET include hourly surface observations of year, month day hour
ceiling height wind speed wind direction, dry bulb temperature, and opaque cloud cover in CD144
format The resulting output file from PCRAMMET contains hourly values of wind speed, wind direction,
ambient temperature, stability category, rural mixing height, and urban mixing height Based on the
results of the land use analysis in Section 4 2 rural mixing heights will be used in this modeling analysis
As stated in Section 4 7 1, data recovery for the M-245 five-year database is greater than 90 percent to
100 percent for all input vanables, with the exception of cloud ceiling height and opaque cloud cover,
which IS not collected at M-245 Substitute hourly cloud ceiling height and opaque cloud cover, for the
corresponding annual penods will be obtained from Odgen AFB and inserted into the hourly on-site data
files to develop a complete input file for PCRAMMET
041108/P 4-22
FINAL
APRIL 2011
In the case of missing surface observations at the M-245 station current USEPA data substitution
guidance (on-site guidance reference) using interpolation will be followed in the case of one-hour gaps
In the case of lengthy (greater than 1 hour missing) missing data penods, surface observations from the
Hill Air Force base will be used as substitute data The Hill AFB surface data is considered to be the most
representative site for providing substitute data based on its location relative to ATK, climatology, location
relative to higher surrounding terrain, and similar land use In the case of missing mixing height data,
missing data will be substituted in accordance with USEPA guidance (USEPA 1992)
4 8 COMPARISON TO AIR QUALITY STANDARDS AND EXPOSURE CRITERIA
As descnbed in Section 4 9, OBODM modeling results with be post-processed in conjunction with 1 3
emission factors presented in Tables 3-5 and 3-6 for used in the human health and ecological nsk
assessments to determine the impact of emissions from M-136 and M-225 The post-processing
activities will determine the maximum air concentrations and deposition rates at the maximum on-site and
offsite receptors and all discrete receptors for 1-hour, 3-hour, 8-hour, 24-hour and annual averaging
penods as required for the nsk assessments The calculated air concentrations will then be compared to
all applicable state and Federal air quality standards occupational exposure cntena concentrations, and
Utah TOXIC Screening Levels (TSLs), and serve as input for the nsk assessments Because the 1 3
emission factors given in Tables 3-5 and 3-6 in clued contnbutions from background dunng the emission
test, the comparative analysis to applicable standards and TSLs will not consider the impact from
background sources and delineate the contnbution from background sources and the contnbution from
ATK OB and OD sources
The applicable air quality standards/exposure cntena will include the cntena pollutants (National Ambient
Air Quality Standards [NAAQS]) and Utah Toxic Screening Levels (TSLs) The State of Utah has
adopted the NAAQS In the case of on-site air concentrations, 2008 Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) time-weighted-average (TWA) exposure concentration values will be used to
evaluate ATK worker exposure at each treatment unit These TWA values are based on an 8-hour
exposure penod
4 9 POST-PROCESSING ACTIVITIES
The output from OBODM output files will require post-processing in order to calculate receptor
concentrations and deposition values for all target analytes identified in Tables 3-5 and 3-6 The post-
process activities to be used are summanzed below
• Determine the location and value of the maximum. 1-hour and annual average air dispersion factors
for on-site and off-site receptors in flat terrain and complex ten^ain from the general receptor gnds
041108/P 4-23
FINAL
APRIL 2011
and all discrete receptors for each type of dispersion modeling and year of meteorological data
Summarize the results in an Excel workbook
• Calculate the 1-hour and annual average pollutant concentrations and deposition values The
individual pollutant air concentrations will be calculated by multiplying the maximum 1-hour or annual
air dispersion factor (pg/m^-lb/hr) x the pollutant specific emission factor (lb/lb) x treatment quantity
per hour (Ib/hr) = pg/m^ Dry deposition (pg/m^) will be calculated by multiply the OBODM
concentration (pg/m^) x the assumed settling velocity (m/sec)
• Convert 1-hour concentrations into 8-hour and 24-hour concentrations for companson analysis to
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) short-term standards, OSHA exposure cntena, and
Toxic Screening Levels (TSLs) that have been established by Utah Department of Air Quality The
1-hour air concentrations will be converted to longer averaging penods using USEPA guidance
identified in the document Screening Procedures for Estimating the Air Quality Impact of Stationary
Sources (USEPA, 1995)
• Format OBODM modeling results for input into the IRAP-h and EcoView nsk assessment models
4 10 OBODM MODELING FILES
At the conclusion of the air dispersion modeling analysis and human health nsk assessment, copies of
the OBODM input and output files and model-ready meteorological data files will be provided to DSHW in
electronic format on compact disc (CD) for review of modeling analysis
