ATK Launch Systems Inc-Promontory 2013 Annual Report ofthe Promontory
Thermal Treatment Areas Operation
Module II Condition G.3.a: requires an accounting of the quantities and types of reactive
hazardous waste treated at the M-136 and M-225 Thermal Treatment Areas.
Response: Table 1 and Table 2 shown below report the quantities and types of reactive
hazardous waste treated at the M-136 and M-225 Thermal Treatment Areas in 2013.

Module II Condition GJ.b: requires an estimated quantity of TCDD TEQs, or other
compounds as indentified in accordance with Condition H.G.2., released annually. The
quantity shall be calculated based on emission rates to be determined through approval of
the air dispersion model.
Response: This condition cannot be completed since the air dispersion modeling has not
been approved. The emission rates from the dispersion modeling are required to complete
this calculation.

Module II Condition G.3.c: requires an evaluation of the emission factors, identified in
Condition II.G. 1.a, used in the human health risk assessment to determine whether these
factors are representative of the wastes treated and identified as directed by II.G.3.a, or if
the emission factors need to be updated.
Response: This condition cannot be completed since the air dispersion modeling must be
completed prior to the human health risk assessment evaluation, however; ATK considers
the currently proposed emission factors to be representative of the wastes treated at the
M-136 and M-225 Thermal Treatment Areas.
Module II Condition G.3.d: requires a review of the human health risk assessment,
identified in Condition II.G.l.g., to evaluate whether the slope factors and reference dose
for carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health effects related to chlorinated dioxin,
chlorinated furan and semi-volatile compounds have changed, and a review of the
potential human health risk scenarios that were evaluated in the risk assessment to assure
that these scenarios have not changed.
Response: This condition cannot be completed since the human health risk assessment
must be completed following the air dispersion modeling. Slope factors and reference
dose for carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health effects related to chlorinated dioxin,
chlorinated furan and semi-volatile will be evaluated once the air dispersion modeling
and the human health risk assessment are completed.
