RE: Review of the Response to Comments on the Surface Water SWMU Investigation Report
ATK Launch Systems-Promontory Facility
UTD009081357
Dear Mr. Blauer:
The Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control has completed its review of ATK's
Response to Comments on the Surface Water Discharge SWMU Investigation Report dated
May 1, 2017. The SWMU Investigation Report was submitted to the Division in July, 2016 and
included 24 SWMUs. ATK's request for no further action was approved for 15 SWMUs last March.
The Division's comments and ATK's responses were in regard to the remaining nine (9) SWMUs.
Based on A TK' s responses to the Divisions comments, the Phase I RFI Report and the inspections that
were conducted at each SWMU, ATK's request for no further action is hereby approved for the SWMUs
listed in the table below.

SWMU#273
Although the four soil sample results reported in the RFI Phase I Report for SWMU #273 appear
to indicate that soil contamination associated with the surface water discharge is not a concern,
soil gas surveys that were conducted west of building M-585 during the IRP investigation
identified areas of contamination in the same area as the SWMU. In addition, the Division
determined in 2012 that the M-585 French Drain site (SWMU #227), which is located just south
of SWMU #273, had not been sufficiently characterized and the source of contamination
detected in well P-6 appears to be unknown. Due to these questions regarding the
characterization of soil and groundwater contamination from past waste management practices,
no further action is not approved for SWMU #273.
It is understood that A TK is preparing a work plan for an additional soil gas survey for the area
west of building M-585. The characterization of contamination in the area will be looked at
again after the survey is complete.
The SWMUs approved for no further action are currently listed in Attachment 6 of ATK's Post-Closure
Permit. Attachment 6 will be revised to indicate that these SWMUs have achieved no further action
status when the Post-Closure Permit is reissued.
If you have any questions, please call Jeff Vandel at [phone].
Sincerely,
