twelve surface impoundments located on the facility. These surface impoundments were closed with
waste in place and capped with impermeable covers in 1992. The impoundments are the primary source area for groundwater contamination that has been detected beneath the facility. ATK currently monitors, and is required to implement corrective action for, the groundwater
contamination that exists beneath the facility. In addition, ATK is working on the investigation and
corrective action of numerous other waste management sites at the facility. Site management of the capped surface impoundments, corrective action of waste management sites, and the monitoring and corrective action of contaminated groundwater is administered by ATK’s Post-
Closure Permit. The Permit consists of six Modules and six Attachments.
MODULES Module I; Standard Conditions: Module I contains the standard permit conditions, outlined in Utah
Admin. Code R315-270-30, that are required to be in all permits. These conditions include
enforceability, effect of permit, permit actions and duties and requirements. Permit conditions regarding the duty to apply for permit reissuance, as applicable, and permit expiration are also included in Module I.
Module II; General Facility Conditions: Module II contains the general facility conditions, which
include requirements for post-closure maintenance and monitoring, security, inspections, personnel training, preparedness and prevention, contingency plans, record keeping, liability and financial

Module III; Use of Property and Post-Closure Care for the Surface Impoundments and Photographic Waste Discharge Sites: Module III contains the requirements relating to land use
restrictions, post-closure care and inspections of closed waste management sites, cost estimates for post-
closure care, financial assurance and liability.
