RE: Human Health Risk Assessment
Final Waste Characterization and Air Dispersion Modeling Protocol
ATK Launch Systems - Promontory Facility
UTD009081357
Dear Mr. Gosen:
The Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste has completed its review of the Final Waste Characterization and Air Dispersion Modeling Protocol submitted on May 5, 2011. A portion of the
protocol document (Tables 3-5 and 3-6) was revised and re-submitted on May 23, 2011.
The Air Dispersion Model will provide data that is needed to complete the Human Health Risk Assessment for open burning and open detonation activities that are conducted at the Promontory
facility. The Human Health Risk Assessment is required by Permit Condition IV.M. of ATK’s Hazardous Waste Storage Permit.
The Waste Characterization and Air Dispersion Modeling Protocol is hereby approved for use in the Human Health Risk Assessment. With this approval, the Division requests that ATK expedite
the risk assessment process where possible to ensure a Human Health Risk Assessment Report is completed by the end of September of 2011. Critical to accomplishing this goal is for ATK
to complete and submit the Air Dispersion Modeling Report. As ATK proceeds with the air dispersion modeling effort, please do not hesitate to contact Jeff Vandel at (801) 536-0257
with any issues or questions that might arise prior to submittal of the report.
The Division appreciates ATK’s continued cooperation in evaluating the Promontory facility’s open burning operations.
Sincerely,
