The Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste has completed its review of your request,

Based on the information provided in your letter, ATK has determined that flares that fail to
ignite or only partially ignite during these tests, once located, are unsafe to move due to the
potential damage sustained from the impact with the ground. An emergency pennit for
treatment is needed so that ATK may open burn flares that fail to ignite properly in-place at
the Kosmo testing area. The flares that will be tested and covered by this pirmit areLUU-
1 9, LUU- 1, LUU2-CIB, M257, and lvI27 8.
Enclosed is Utah Hazardous Waste Emergency Permit #UT-12-2A13 authorizing ATK to
treat the flares identified above that have been characterized as unsafe to move. This permit
is based on the premise that the information provided by ATK is accurate an(d that treitment
of flares will be conducted as specified in your letter.
Waste material collected after the treatment is complete must be properly characteized and
transported to an approved disposat frcility: AfK isalsore-quired to mairftainrecords of the
open burning activities. These records should include the date and time of treatment. the
DSHW-2o13-004215

location of treatment, a description of the treatment effectiveness, and the final disposition of
waste residues.

days of the expiration date of the permit.
In the event that a flare does not deploy or ignite as designed and carurot be located for
treatment under this permit, ATK should notiff the Division as soon as possible. In addition,
all lost flares must be recorded and included in the report deseribed above.
This permit was effective July 1,2013 and will expire on September28,2013. Emergency
permits are issued under the authority of 19-6-101 through lzZ,Utah Code Annotated, as

military flares (type LUU-I, LUUZ-C/B, LUU-19, M257, or M278) that fail to ignite during quality
control testing. The Permittee has requested an emergency permit based on its determination that it is
unsafe to move flares that fail to ignite properly after being dropped from an airplane or launched
from the ground during testing procedures. It was determined that the safest way to manage these
potentially damaged flares is to burn them in place prior to transporting for disposal. The U.S.
L,nvironmental Protection Agency has authorized the Director of the Division of Solid and Hazardous
Waste to issue such a permit under Section 3006(b) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
The Permittee shall comply with all terms and conditions ofthis permit. The permit consists ofthe
applicable portions of UAC R3l5-l through R315-14, R315-50, and R315-101. Applicable rules are
those which are in effect on the date of issuance of this permit.
In addition, all waste generated from the treatment shall be properly characterized and transported to
an approved disposal facility. The Permittee shall maintain records of the open burning activities.

treatment, the number and type of flares treated, the specific location of treatment within the Kosmo
testing area, a record of any lost flares, a description of the treatment effectiveness, and the final
disposition of waste residues. These records shall be included in a report that shall be submitted to
the Director within 14 days of the expiration date of the permit. In addition, if ATK is unable to find
any flares that fail to properly ignite or deploy, ATK shall notifr the Director as soon as possible.
This permit is based on the premise that the information received in the letter dated June 25,2013 and
through discussions with ATK personnel is accurate and that the fteatment will be conducted as
specified in the letter. Any inaccuracies or misrepresentations found in the request described above
may be grounds forthe termination of this permit, in accordance with UAC R315-4-1.5(a). The
Permittee shall inform the Director of any deviation from, or changes in, the information in the
request which would affect the Permittee's ability to comply with the applicable regulations.
