RE: Emergency Permit
uTD009081357
Dear Mr. Gooch:
The Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste has completed its review of your March 20,2015 request
for an emergency permit for 90 days to treat, by open burning, military flares that fail to ignite during
quality control testing procedures. As described in your letter, the quality control testing is required by
ATK Launch System's (ATK) contract with the Department of Defense.
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 permit 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 permit are LUU-
19, LUU- 1, LUU}-C|B, M257, and M27 8.
Enclosed is Utah Hazardous Waste Emergency Permit #UT-OO7-2015 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 and that treatment of flares will be conducted
as specified in your letter.
Waste material collected after the treatment is complete must be properly characterized and transported
to an approved disposal facility. ATK is also required to maintain records of the open burning activities.
These records should include the date and time of treatment, the name of the person(s) conducting the
treatment, the number and type of flares treated, the location of treatment, a description of the treatment
effectiveness, and the final disposition of waste residues.

These records must be included in the report that is to be submitted to the Division within 14 days of the
expiration date of the permit.
In the event that a flare doesn't deploy or ignite as designed or cannot be located for treatment under this
permit, ATK should notify the Division as soon as possible. In addition, all lost flares must be recorded
and included in the report described above.
This permit is effective on April 2, 2015 and will expire on July l, 2Ol5 . Emergency permits are issued
under the authority of 19-6-101 through I22, Utah Code Annotated, as amended and R315-3-6.2 of the
Utah Administrative Code.

Pursuant to the Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Act, 19.6.101-123, et. seq., Utah Code Annotated, as amended,
and the Utah Administrative Code (R315-l through R3l5-14 and R315-50) as adopted by the Utah Solid and
Hazardous Waste Control Board, an emergency permit is issued to ATK Launch Systems - Promontory (hereafter
called the "Permittee") to treat, by open burning, military flares (type LUU-I, LUU2-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 it for disposal. The U.S. Environmental
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 of this permit. The permit consists of the applicable
portions of R315-1 through R315-14, R315-50 and R3l5-l0l of the Utah Administrative Code. 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. These records shall include
the date and time of treatment, the name of the person(s) conducting the 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. ln addition, if
ATK is unable to find any flares that fail to properly ignite or deploy, ATK shall notify the Director as soon as
possible.
This permit is based on the premise that the information received in the letter dated March 20,2015 and through
discussions with ATK personnel is accurate and that the treatment will be conducted as specified in the letter.
Any inaccuracies or misrepresentations found in the request described above may be grounds for the termination
of this permit, in accordance with R3l5-4-1.5(a) of the Utah Code Annotated. The Permittee shall informthe
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.
This permit is effective on April 2,2015 and shall expire on July 1,2015, unless terminated in accordance with
R3l5-4-1.5(a) of the Utah Code Annotated.
