RE: Emergency Permit
ATK Launch Systerns - Promontory Facility
uTD009081357
Dear Mr. Gooch:
The Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control has completed its review of your
June 30, 2016 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 Systern'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 bum 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-I, LUU2-C/8,M257 andM278.
Enclosed is Utah Hazardous Waste Emergency Permit #UT-013-2016 authorizing ATK to treat the
flares identified above that have been characteized 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 characteized 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 tlpe of flares treated, the location of treatment, a description of the treatment
effectiveness and the final disposition of waste residues.

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.

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. In 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 June 30,2016 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 Administrative Code. 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.
This permit is effective on July 4,2016 and shall expire on October 1,2016 unless terminated in accordance with
R3 l5-4-1.5(a) of the Utah Administrative Code.
