RE: Emergency Permit
ATK Launch Systems - Promontory Facility
urD009081357
Dear Mr. Blauer:
The Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control has completed its review of your June 26 ,2018
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, LUU2-CIB,M257 andM278.
Enclosed is Utah Hazardous Waste Emergency Permit #IJiI-017-2O18 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.

P.O. BOX 707
BRIGHAM CITY. UT 84302-0707
Pursuant to the Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Act, 19.6.10I-I23, et. seq., Utah Code Annotated, as amended,
and the Utah Administrative Code (R315-260 through R315-270 and R315-124) as adopted by the Waste
Management and Radiation 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, LUU}-C|B, LUU-I9,
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 Waste Management and
Radiation Control 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 R315-260 through R315-270, R3l5-124 and R315-101. Applicable rules are those which are in effect
on the date of issuance of this permit.
ln addition, all waste generated from the treatment shall be properly charactenzed 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 26,2018 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 R315-270-61(bX4). 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 2,2018 and shall expire on September 29,2018, unless terminated in accordance
with applicable rules.
