POST- CLOSURE SECURITY AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
I.A. Purpose and Scope
The M-136 LTTAs, and Photographic Waste Discharge Sites at M-508 and M-636 are all Hazardous Waste Management Units (HWMUs) that
have been closed with waste in-place. Post-closure security and
maintenance requirements apply to these sites in accordance with R315-
264-14 and R315-264-110. The security and maintenance requirements of
this plan apply to the closed LTTAs and Photographic Waste Discharge
Sites as outlined below. I.B. Security
The work performed at the ATK Launch Systems, Promontory facility
primarily involves Department of Defense and NASA contracts; therefore,
comprehensive security agreement measures have been instituted. These security measures include both a twenty-four hour surveillance system and an artificial barrier around the facility to minimize the possibility of
unknown entry of livestock or personnel.
I.B.1. Surveillance System
Entry onto the facility is controlled at gates that are maintained by a trained security force. The security force also provides patrol, escort, and
other activities within the facility. All plant entrances are manned by a
minimum of one security officer twenty-four hours per day, every day. All
other gates are locked and only used when authorized by attending
Security. All employees entering the facility must show identification badges at the gate and wear them in plain sight throughout the day. All visitors and vendors are required to wear special identification badges.
I.B.2. Artificial Barrier
There are artificial or natural barriers surrounding the entire plant. The
primary barrier consists of a chain link and barbed wire fence. The chain link fence runs along Highway 83 until it runs into the gully formed by Blue Creek just west of building M-46. A natural barrier is provided by
the Blue Creek gully which is approximately 15 feet deep with near
vertical sides. This barrier extends for approximately 8,000 feet to a five-
foot, four-strand barbed wire fence. This fence extends to the north,
changes to chain link, and runs around the north end of the Plant. The chain link fences are seven feet high and topped with barbed wire. This
ATK Launch Systems Inc. - Promontory March 24, 2017 Post Closure Permit: UTD009081357

fence is continued by a five-foot, four-strand barbed wire fence, which
completes the primary barrier by encircling North Plant, Test, and Space
Operations. Plant III is encircled by a five-foot, four-strand barbed wire
fence and also has controlled access at the main entrance. Each hazardous
waste management area also has an artificial barrier as described in the
facility’s Hazardous Waste Storage Permit.
In addition to the barrier described above, a five-foot, four strand barb
wire fence surrounds the M-136 LTTAs. Access to the area is controlled
by a gate which is locked when no one is present.
I.B.3. Warning Signs Signs which read "DANGER, UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL KEEP
OUT" shall be posted at the entrance gates to the LTTA and every 100 feet
along the fence surrounding the LTTA and shall be maintained throughout
the post-closure care period. The signs must be legible from a distance of
at least 25 feet in accordance with R315-264-14(c). Signs which read “HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT UNIT –
RESTRICTIONS ON LAND USE APPLY” shall be posted at entrances
and every 100 feet around the designated area of HWMUs M-508 and M-
636.
I.B.4. Activity and Use Limitations The Permittee has closed the M-136 LTTAs with waste in place and the
disposal areas have been capped. The M-508 and M-636 Photographic
Waste Discharge Sites have both been closed with residual contamination
remaining that exceeds standards for residential use. The Permittee has entered into Environmental Covenants with the Director
for the M-136 LTTAs and the M-508 and M-636 Photographic Waste Discharge Sites that establish their locations, the land use restrictions that exist at each and identify the contaminants that remain at the sites.
The Environmental Covenants run with the land and a Notice upon
Conveyance is required that informs any new owner of the land use
restrictions that apply to the sites. The Environmental Covenants were recorded with the Box Elder County Recorder and are included in this Attachment.
Based on an assessment of the human health risk associated with the
contamination remaining at the M-508 and M-636 sites, no soil shall be
removed from the surveyed confines of these areas. Use of the property at

In addition to the data validation steps established within the laboratory as part of normal QA
operations, third party validation of data may be required. The PM will coordinate getting the
requested data from the laboratory to the data validators and will receive the validation summary
report from the data validator. If there are questions that come up during the data validation process,
the PM will act to resolve these questions. Third party validators will use this QAPP as a guide.
Reporting to State Agencies
The PM will collect data from the laboratory and any supporting documentation from field

operations and data validation activities and submit a report to the appropriate State Agency at
the frequency required by permit or other agreement.
A5 – Problem Definition/Background
The Orbital ATK facilities at the Bacchus and Promontory locations have known legacy environmental
concerns which are regulated under corrective action permits. The permits require site characterization,
remediation and monitoring activities the goal of which is to protect human health and the
environment. To achieve this goal data must be of known and documented accuracy and precision so
that sound environmental decisions can be made.
A6 – Project/Task Description
This Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) outlines the organization, objectives, and planned
activities for the Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) procedures associated with RCRA
corrective action conducted at the Orbital ATK Bacchus and Promontory Facilities. These corrective
actions include both soil investigations and groundwater monitoring. Corrective action is regulated
at each facility by permits. These permits are listed in Table 1

A7 – Quality Objectives and Criteria
Data quality objectives (DQOs) are requirements needed to support decisions relative to various stages
of the project. The data needs associated with this project have been developed based upon evaluation
ATK Launch Systems Inc. – Promontory July 2, 2018
Post Closure Permit UTD009081357
Page 5 of 25
of existing site data, requirements in the permits listed above, EPA risk screen and groundwater screen
values and subsequent risk assessment needs. Specific data needs include collection of data to define
the nature and extent of contamination, development of mean contaminant concentrations across the
site and their potential for imparting public health risks and environmental impacts.
In the case of soil investigation activities, the specific concerns of each Solid Waste Management Unit
(SWMU) is unique. Thus, it is important to establish Quality Objectives and Criteria that take the specific
concerns into account. In the process of establishing a Sample Analysis Plan (SAP) a unique set of DQOs
will be developed.
The DQO process is a systematic planning tool based on a logical method for establishing criteria for
data quality. Establishing formal DQOs during the development of SAPs allows clear and unambiguous
definitions of project objectives and decision criteria so that data of sufficient type, quality, and quantity
are generated to meet project objectives. Details such as estimated quantitation limits (EQLs) used by
the Laboratory will be provided in SAPs for each SWMU or group of SWMUs. In developing SAPs, the
latest version of Guidelines for the Data Quality Objectives Process, US EPA, EPA QA/G-4, August 2000,
or other appropriate guidelines will be followed.
The quality of the laboratory data is assessed in terms of precision, accuracy, representativeness,
comparability, and completeness. Definitions of these parameters and the applicable quality control
procedures are given below.
Precision - Precision is a measure of the degree to which two or more measurements are in agreement
and describe the reproducibility of measurements of the same parameter for samples analyzed under
similar conditions. A fundamental tenet of using precision measurements for QC is that precision will be
bounded by known limits. Results outside these predetermined limits trigger corrective actions.
Because of the inherent and unknown heterogeneity of soil samples, the precision of soil field duplicate
samples will be used to gain a perspective on the natural heterogeneity of the soil.
Field precision is assessed by collecting and measuring field duplicates at a rate of 1 duplicate per 20
environmental samples submitted to the laboratory. Acceptance limits for field duplicate samples are:
• 30% relative percent difference for aqueous matrices, and;
• 50% relative percent difference for solid matrices.
This precision estimate encompasses the combined uncertainty associated with sample collection,
homogenization, splitting, handling, laboratory and field storage, digestion or extraction, and analysis.
In contrast, precision estimates obtained from analyzing duplicate laboratory samples incorporate only
homogenization, subsampling, digestion or extraction, laboratory storage, and analysis uncertainties.
Consequently, the field precision estimates (i.e., relative percent difference [RPD] values) should equal
or exceed the laboratory precision estimates, on average, for each analyte. If field duplicate precision is
significantly different from laboratory duplicate precision, the underlying cause will be investigated to
ATK Launch Systems Inc. – Promontory July 2, 2018
Post Closure Permit UTD009081357
Page 6 of 25
determine whether the observed difference could be artifacts of sampling and analysis. Considerations
given to this effort include:
• The scale of subsampling for laboratory precision estimates relative to the scale of field
duplicate sample size.
• Analytical measurement precision.
• Precision for repeat analysis of the same solid laboratory control sample (LCS).
• Estimated environmental sample grain size relative to LCS grain size.
• Potential natural soil heterogeneity.
Laboratory precision QC samples (i.e., laboratory duplicates for inorganic chemicals and MSDs for
organic chemicals) will be analyzed with a minimum frequency of 5 percent (i.e., 1 QC sample per 20
environmental samples). Laboratory precision is measured by comparing RPD values with precision
control limits. Precision limits for matrix spike/matrix spike duplicate and laboratory duplicate samples
are displayed in Table 2.
When Precision data falls outside of the listed limits, the laboratory will flag the outlier and provide a
comment relating the cause of the outlier and any effect it may have on the usability of the data. In
cases where the data is not usable, the laboratory will notify the project manager in order to resolve the
issue. In such cases, re-sampling and/or reanalysis may be required in order to obtain usable data for
reporting.

Accuracy - Accuracy is a measure of the closeness of the measured value to the true value. The accuracy
of chemical test results is assessed by "spiking" samples with known standards (surrogate or matrix
spike) and establishing the average recovery. Accuracy measurements will be carried out in accordance
with Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) Statement of Work (SOW) requirements for organic and
inorganic analyses (USEPA CLP OLM04.3 and CLP ILM05.4, respectively) and at a minimum frequency of
1 per analytical batch of up to 20 samples per matrix analyzed (USEPA, 1991).
Accuracy requirements for field measurements are typically ensured through control over the sample
collection and handling and through routine instrument calibration. Accuracy is also typically monitored
through the use of blanks to detect cross-contamination and by monitoring adherence to procedures
that prevent sample contamination or degradation. Accuracy also shall be assured qualitatively through
adherence to all sample handling, preservation, and holding time requirements.
Accuracy in the laboratory is measured through the comparison of a spiked sample or LCS result to a
known or calculated value and is expressed as a percent recovery (%R). It is also assessed by monitoring
the analytical recovery of select surrogate compounds added to samples that are analyzed by organic
chromatographic methods. MS and surrogate compound analyses measure the combined accuracy
effects of the sample matrix, sample preparation, and sample measurement. LCSs are used to assess
the accuracy of laboratory operations with minimal sample matrix effects. Post Digestion spikes (PDSs)
are used to assess the accuracy of the analytical measurement on the sample extract or digestate. The
parameters to be included in spiking mixes and accuracy limits are presented by analytical fraction and
matrix in Table 3. LCS and MS analyses are performed at a frequency no less than 1 per 20 associated
samples of like matrix. Laboratory accuracy is assessed via comparison of calculated %R values to
accuracy control limits
When Accuracy data falls outside of the listed limits, the laboratory will flag the outlier and provide a
comment relating the cause of the outlier and any effect it may have on the usability of the data. In
cases where the data is not usable, the laboratory will notify the project manager in order to resolve the
issue. In such cases, re-sampling and/or reanalysis may be required in order to obtain usable data for
reporting.

Representativeness - Representativeness is an expression of the degree to which the data accurately
and precisely represent a characteristic of a population or environmental condition existing at the site.
Adherence to the project planning documents and use of standardized sampling, handling, preparation,
analysis, and reporting procedures ensures that the final data accurately represent the desired
populations.
To ensure representativeness of field data depends on the proper design of the sampling program and
will be satisfied by ensuring that the project planning documents are followed and that proper sampling
techniques are used.
In cases where alternative sampling techniques are employed, such as Multi-Incremental Sampling
(MIS), to improve representativeness, it may be appropriate to establish data quality objectives specific
to that technique. In such cases, the unique quality control requirements will be included in the
sampling and analysis plan.
Representativeness in the laboratory is ensured or evaluated by using the proper analytical procedures,
meeting sample holding times, and analyzing and evaluating field duplicate samples relative to
laboratory duplicates.
Comparability - Comparability is defined as the confidence with which one data set can be compared
with another (e.g., between sampling points and between sampling events). Comparability is achieved
by using standardized sampling and analysis methods and data reporting formats (including use of
consistent units of measure), and by ensuring that reporting and detection limits are sufficiently low to
satisfy project detection and quantitation criteria for the duration of the project.
Comparability depends on the proper design of the sampling program and will be satisfied by ensuring
that the project planning documents are followed and that proper sampling techniques are used.
Planned analytical data will be comparable when similar sampling and analytical methods are used and
documented. Results will be reported in units that ensure comparability with previous data.
Common sources of data used to assess comparability may include: historical data and data obtained
from split samples sent to a second party laboratory. Caution must be used when comparing data
where dissimilar sampling and/or analysis techniques are employed. For example, when alternative
sampling techniques are used such as Multi-Incremental Sampling (MIS) the data is not directly
comparable to data obtained from discrete sampling. Similarly, data from Gas Chromatography using
Flame Ionization Detectors is not directly comparable to Gas Chromatography using Mass Spectral
ATK Launch Systems Inc. – Promontory July 2, 2018
Post Closure Permit UTD009081357
Page 9 of 25
Detectors. While it may be useful to show data from two differing sampling and/or analysis techniques
as a general comparison, any comparison needs to clearly indicate that the data sets were obtained
using differing techniques and recommend that the end user should use caution when making
comparisons.
Completeness - Completeness is defined as the percentage of measurements made which are judged to
be valid measurements. Results will be considered valid if all the precision, accuracy, and
representativeness objectives are met. The target completeness goal for this work is 90% (combined
field and laboratory results) for a given analysis.
A8 – Special Training/Certification
All field personnel will have appropriate training to conduct the field activities to which they are
assigned.
The PM and all field staff, including subcontractors that will be performing work at the facility, shall have
completed training that meets the requirements in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120. Documentation and skills
certification will be completed as described in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120. No other certification or special
training requirements are requisite for the completion of this project.
While no other formal training is required for the completion of this project, field safety and
responsibilities will be reviewed prior to field sampling. The purpose of the review is to assign and
review project-specific responsibilities related to field-sampling activities and to discuss any special
conditions or problems that are anticipated such as weather, site access, and personal protective
equipment (PPE) requirements. In addition, discussions and reviews of specific activities such as sample
preservation, sample container requirements, and logbook completion may also be included. These
discussions are brief summaries of the requirements contained in the SAPs.
Personnel will participate in the review based on their anticipated activity and responsibilities; for
example, a driller would not necessarily be expected to participate in the portion of the review related
to filling out a chain of custody form.
The Laboratory will maintain accreditation certificates for the testing involved through the State of
Utah’s Environmental Laboratory Certification Program.
A9 – Documents and Records
The PM is responsible for initiating any revisions to planning documents and is responsible for making
the needed revisions. The QAPP shall be approved by the Director of the Division of Waste
Management and Radiation Control by an official letter from the Division. All revisions or modifications
related to this QAPP thereafter will be accomplished by specifying a revision or modification to the
QAPP in a SAP.

B – Data Generation and Acquisition
B1 – Sampling Process Design
For groundwater monitoring activities, the sampling sites and frequencies are established in the
groundwater sections of the Bacchus and Promontory permits. For soil investigations, SAPs will be
developed based on the unique data needs associated with the SWMUs and soil and soil gas sampling
procedures will be addressed in the SAPs.
The primary purpose of the SAPs is to define the data quality objectives for each individual SWMU to be
investigated. The SAPs will be developed based upon review of existing analytical data and process
knowledge applicable to each SWMU or group of SWMUs. Table 4 is a checklist for consideration in
developing specific SAPs. In addition, each SAP will contain a discussion of the components of the
sampling strategy, listed below:
1. A methodology for selecting a sampling location and analytical parameters based on the data-
quality objectives (DQOs);
2. A basis for selecting duplicate field samples;
3. Basis for selecting random sampling;
4. Locations within a SWMU where judgmental (biased) sampling is used based on process knowledge;
and

B2 – Sampling Methods
Standard operating procedures (SOPs) are procedures developed by the PM and field staff for field
sampling events. Most field SOPs have been developed for previous sampling and analyses events. The
SOPs will be modified, as necessary, to meet data needs and usage requirements that are specified
during the DQO development process. The SOPs will describe the process for preparation and
decontamination of sampling equipment, including disposal of decontamination by-products; the
selection and preparation of sample containers, sample volumes, and preservation methods; and
maximum holding times to sample extraction and/or analysis. Procedures for groundwater are in the
Bacchus and Promontory permits and Procedures for other media will be addressed are in the SAPs.
B3 – Sample Handling and Custody
Written documentation of sample custody from the time of sample collection through the generation of
data is recognized as a vital aspect of an environmental study. The Chain-of-Custody (COC) of the
physical sample and its corresponding documentation will be maintained throughout the handling of the
sample. All samples will be identified, labeled, and logged onto a COC or Request for Analysis form, as a
part of the procedure designed to assure the integrity of the resulting data. The record of the physical
sample, including the location and time of sampling, will be joined with the analytical results through
accurate accounting of the sample custody. Sample custody applies to both field and laboratory
operations. All laboratories completing chemical analyses will be required to maintain samples in a
secure location with limited access from the time of sample receipt through sample disposal.
Samples collected will be either shipped to the laboratory via a commercial carrier or will be hand-
delivered to the analytical laboratory when possible. All packaging materials and samples will be
reviewed for compliance with changes in air shipment regulations when shipping by commercial carrier.
If the samples are shipped via a commercial carrier, the following procedure will be used for packaging:
1. Inert cushioning material will be utilized when needed;
ATK Launch Systems Inc. – Promontory July 2, 2018
Post Closure Permit UTD009081357
Page 13 of 25
2. Sample containers will be sealed in re-sealable plastic bags and placed upright in the cooler;
3. Blue ice or wet ice and additional packaging materials will be placed around the containers;
4. Pertinent paperwork such as the COC/Request for Analysis form will accompany shipping
papers;
5. When using a commercial provider a shipping label will be affixed to the outside of the cooler.
Upon arrival at the laboratory the Chain-of-Custody documents will be signed to relinquish/receive the
samples. The sample packaging and sample integrity will be inspected by the laboratory personnel and
the condition including temperature of samples will be documented. Any problem that may affect the
outcome of the testing will be communicated to the customer at that time in order to determine if the
samples will be tested or if a re-sample is needed. The communication and final decision with regard to
testing will be documented.
B4 – Analytical Methods
Chemical analyses of samples will be completed by using specific laboratory methods in accordance with
turn-around time for the completion of analyses and laboratory data reporting specified in SAPs. These
methods may include analysis of explosives, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semivolatile
compounds, metals, and perchlorate. Samples will be collected and preserved as described in specific
SAPs. Sample holding times are specific to each group of analytes and analytical methods. Holding
times for specific samples shall be based on the date and the time of sample collection.
If holding times are exceeded, the laboratory will contact the project manager for direction on whether
to analyze the samples out of holding time, (in which case a comment will appear on the final data
report regarding the missed holding time), or whether resampling will be done to obtain data analyzed
within the recommended holding time.
All laboratories involved will be required to read and comply with the QAPP and SAPs before analyzing
samples.
The laboratories chosen to complete the analyses shall not subcontract any portion of the work without
prior written approval from the PM. The laboratory shall use analytical equipment and procedures to
produce data that will meet the DQOs and requirements as specified in SAPs.
If non-standard analytical methods are proposed for use, the method must be approved by the Division
in writing. Detailed descriptions of the analytical method shall be reviewed to ensure that data
generated by the method will meet the minimum data quality objectives and requirements as specified
in SAPs for a SWMU or a group of SWMUs. The review will focus on the method as supplied by the
analytical lab including scope, requirements, applicable documents, materials and equipment,
operations, QC limits, detection limits, QA/QC measures, safety, sample preparation and analysis. The
data validation process for data generated by the method shall follow the protocol specified in this
QAPP and in the pertinent SAP.
ATK Launch Systems Inc. – Promontory July 2, 2018
Post Closure Permit UTD009081357
Page 14 of 25
B5 – Quality Control
Quality Control checks of both the field sampling procedures and laboratory sample analyses will be
used to assess and document data quality and to identify discrepancies in the measurement process
that need correction. The minimum analytical laboratory QC samples to be considered for inclusion in
the SAPs is provided in Table 4.
Quality control samples will be used to assess various data quality parameters such as
representativeness of the environmental samples, the precision of sample collection and handling
procedures, the thoroughness of the field equipment decontamination procedures, and the accuracy of
laboratory analyses. To evaluate bias and contamination from field-collection procedures, appropriate
soil or water blanks will be prepared. In addition, all sample containers, preservation methods, and
holding times will be in accordance with QC requirements, as specified in SAPs.
The analytical laboratory will use a series of QC samples as identified in the laboratory QAP and specified
in the standard analytical methods. The types of samples include method blanks, surrogate spikes,
laboratory control samples, laboratory control sample duplicates, matrix spikes, and matrix spike
duplicates. Analyses of QC samples will be performed for samples of similar matrix type and
concentration and for each sample batch.
For QC purposes, the laboratory generally categorizes samples into two matrix types: aqueous and
solids; which often encompasses a wide variety of matrix types. If for any reason a narrower definition
of a matrix is desired (e.g. Clay vs Silty samples being separated), the laboratory may be instructed to
spike discrete samples. This should be clearly communicated to the laboratory as it will most likely be
different from the standard protocol.
Field Quality Control
Field Quality Control Checks
Field equipment, if used, will be calibrated as frequently as recommended in the manufacturer’s
specifications. Each calibration including the results will be documented in the field logbook or on a
data sheet developed for calibration and signed by the PM. Additionally, quality control samples will be
collected during environmental sampling activities. Each type of field quality control sample is defined
below.
Field Duplicate Samples
A field duplicate sample is a second sample collected at the same location as the sample designated for
collection. Field duplicate sample results are used to assess precision, including variability, associated
with both the laboratory analysis and the sample collection process. Field duplicate and regular samples
will be collected simultaneously at a rate of 5% or at least one per project, from the same sample
interval, providing sufficient material exists, and treated in an identical manner during storage,
ATK Launch Systems Inc. – Promontory July 2, 2018
Post Closure Permit UTD009081357
Page 15 of 25
transportation, and analysis. When recovery of soil from sampling operations is sufficient, field
duplicate samples will be collected at a frequency to be specified in specific SAPs.
Trip Blanks
A trip blank is a sample of distilled and/or deionized, organic-free water preserved with 0.2 ml of HCl
provided in three VOC bottles (and may vary in the specific SAPs). Trip blanks will be prepared only for
the analysis of VOCs and will be subjected to the same handling as the other samples. The trip blanks
will serve to identify contamination from sample containers or transportation and storage procedures.
A trip blank will accompany each cooler of samples sent to the laboratory for the analysis of VOCs. If the
travel time is brief (e.g. less than 2 hours) this may not be required.
Equipment Blanks
Equipment blanks are collected and analyzed to determine any level of contamination potentially
introduced into samples due to the equipment cleaning technique. Equipment blanks will be collected if
required in the SAP. General procedures for collecting equipment blanks are as follows (and may vary in
the specific SAPs):
Following the collection of a designated sample, the sample collection device will be cleaned using a
phosphate-free detergent and rinsed with water. The device will be inspected to ensure it has been
thoroughly cleaned and rinsed.
When detailed by specific SAPs, a sample of the equipment sample device rinse water will be collected
using the following additional steps:
(1) Collect a sample from the final rinse. Collect the water off the equipment being rinsed into the
required sample bottle(s);
(2) Submit the equipment blank for analysis of all waste constituents sampled at the site. This
equipment blank will be used to help quantify the potential for cross-contamination between
samples due to improperly cleaned sampling devices;
(3) Drum all wash and rinse water generated at the site for characterization and probable permitted
discharge to a sanitary sewer; and
(4) Obtain fresh wash water and rinse water from for cleaning operations at different site.
At the completion of sampling operations, all sampling equipment (augers, drill rods, sampling devices,
tools, etc.) will be pressure washed. Any additional requirements for equipment blanks will be specified
in SAPs.
ATK Launch Systems Inc. – Promontory July 2, 2018
Post Closure Permit UTD009081357
Page 16 of 25
Field Blanks
Field blanks consist of empty, clean sample containers to be opened in the field and filled with reagent
grade water prior to collection of a field sample. Upon collection of the sample, the field blank
container is sealed and carried through the same handling, shipping, and analytical procedures as the
field sample. Since the frequency of field blanks is project-specific, field blanks will be specified in the
SAP. Field blanks may also be collected as needed based on field conditions (i.e., heavy exhaust from a
drill rig, etc.).
Laboratory Quality Control
Laboratory analyses will be conducted in accordance with the appropriate analytical methods. Internal
laboratory quality control checks will include:
• surrogate spikes for the respective methods;
• method blank (reagent blank) that is carried through the same analytical process as native
samples;
• matrix spike/matrix spike duplicates with known concentration in accordance with the
laboratory SOPs;
• laboratory control samples/laboratory control sample duplicates that are spiked in accordance
with analytical method and laboratory SOPs for each respective method of analysis.
The Laboratory will document continuing calibration check standards, Laboratory Control Samples,
surrogates, matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate recoveries, and relative percent differences (RPDs)
on statistical control charts.
The laboratory will address all data outliers and add comments in the laboratory database regarding the
effect the outlier may have on the usability of the data. If the QC data indicates a systematic problem
that makes the data unusable, corrective action will be implemented to resolve the problem and any
affected data will be re-analyzed to obtain usable data for reporting.
In order to maintain accreditation the laboratory will participate in a Proficiency Testing program on a
semiannual basis. The laboratory will analyze blind samples provided by a 3rd party vendor and must
receive acceptable results on two of the most recent 3 Proficiency Testing Studies. The laboratory will
report the results to the State of Utah Environmental Laboratory Certification Program office.
Corrective Action Investigations will be performed for analytes that do not pass the study criteria.
B6 – Instrument/Equipment Testing, Inspection and Maintenance
Instruments and Equipment will be tested, inspected and maintained as required by the manufacturer
for optimal performance. Information about the actions taken and the status of the instrument and
Equipment will be recorded in a logbook that is traceable to the specific instrument or Equipment. In
the case where a problem is identified, the instrument or Equipment will be taken out of service until
ATK Launch Systems Inc. – Promontory July 2, 2018
Post Closure Permit UTD009081357
Page 17 of 25
the problem is resolved. The actions taken to resolve the problem and the outcome those actions will
also be recorded in the logbook.
Balances –The calibration of Analytical balances will be verified daily or before each use and will be
calibrated by a qualified Metrologist annually. The daily verification will be conducted using two
calibrated weights that bracket the expected balance use range. Balance calibrations checks will be
documented on logsheets.
Refrigerators/Freezers - All refrigerator and freezer temperatures will be monitored. Thermometers
used (either continuous or minimum/maximum) for measurement of refrigerator and freezer
temperatures will be calibrated at a frequency defined by the manufacturer.
Water Supply System - The laboratory will maintain a water supply system which is capable of furnishing
reagent water that is free from target analytes or interfering elements. Such water may be generated
from a system that uses deionization, distillation or some combination thereof and may incorporate
filtration through carbon filters and/or particle filtration. The water system is considered adequate
when reagent blank quality control samples show no positive detections for target analytes or
interfering elements.
B7 – Instrument/Equipment Calibration and Frequency
Calibration at a specified Frequency for Instruments and Equipment will be performed as required by
the manufacturer or per the analytical methodology in use. Documentation of the calibration will be
maintained in a logbook or via the raw data. Acceptance of the calibration will be verified prior to
proceeding with testing.
All laboratory instruments will be calibrated with the appropriate standard solution. All reported
analytes are to be bracketed by an established calibration curve. Because standard methods allow the
lowest standard to be up to ten times the concentration of the MDL, any positive values below this low-
level standard and above the project PQL would be classified as estimated. To avoid quantifications of
data based on this requirement, the contract laboratory is required to analyze an additional low
standard at or near the project PQL. Analytical guidelines and manufacturer specifications determine
the frequency of laboratory instrument calibration necessary. All batches of samples analyzed will be
bracketed by appropriate calibration verification standards. Corrective actions will be taken if the
calibration checks do not meet established criteria.
B8 – Inspection/Acceptance of Supplies and Consumables
Upon receipt of Supplies and consumables the items will be inspected to ensure that they are of the
type and quality required by the methodology in use. Items received that do not meet the criteria
established will be segregated to prevent inadvertent use.

For Analytical Standards, a Certificate of Analysis that is traceable to a NIST standard will be maintained
on file as part of the quality records for the testing activities.
All standards and standard solutions will be catalogued to identify the supplier, lot number,
purity/concentration, receipt/preparation date, preparer's name, method of preparation, expiration
date, and any other pertinent information. Stock and working standard solutions will be validated
before use and checked regularly for signs of deterioration. Standard solutions will be properly stored
and handled, and all containers will be labeled to identify the chemical(s), concentration, solvent,
expiration date, initials of preparer, and date of preparation. Reagents will be examined for purity by
subjecting an aliquot or subsample to the analytical method in which it will be used. The contract
laboratory will not use a standard or reagent if its expiration date has passed. Expiration date extension
is allowed if it can be documented that the quality is still acceptable for the intended use. Complete
documentation will be maintained for all standards and reagents used
B9 – Non-Direct Measurements
Because many of the activities at the Bacchus and Promontory facilities have taken place for many years
there is a wealth of historical information available. When this type of information is used to establish
the actions taken, the information will be included in a SAP or a report as part of the quality record.
B10 – Data Management
All analytical data produced by Laboratory and the field operations will be stored at each data
producer’s location.
Data transfer and communications must ensure that only validated data are stored in the project
database. The transfer of data from generation, through validation, database entry, and final delivery to
the Division can be summarized as follows:
• All field data will be maintained on file.
• The laboratory generates laboratory validated data and sends the reports to the PM.
• The PM reviews laboratory validated data to ensure it complies with project objectives.
• The PM coordinates third party validation of a percentage of the laboratory-validated data.
• The report from the third party validators are maintained in the project database.
The PM forwards copies of validated data as required in the permit.

Validation of Laboratory Data
The Laboratory will provide a QC review of their respective data in accordance with the relevant
laboratory QAP. The laboratory will enter validated data into the laboratory information management
system.
The PM may request third party validation of a percentage of the data. The percentage will be
dependent on the DQOs specified in the SAPs.
Validation of Field-Generated Data
All field generated data will be validated by the PM prior to incorporation into the project database. The
PM will validate data generated by the field instrumentation in accordance with instructions supplied
with the instruments.
Use and Storage of Data
Electronic data and documents shall be backed up to avoid loss. Retrieval of project documents is
limited to project personnel who have been granted access to the appropriate electronic files. Sensitive
or final electronic documents may be password protected to prevent unauthorized access or
inadvertent changes. At project closure, these electronic documents will be copied and electronically
stored on a disc or CD. When required an archived hardcopy will be maintained on file.
C – Assessment and Oversight
C1 – Assessments and Response Actions
To provide data having quality measures consistent with the project data quality objectives, the data
shall be reviewed against established criteria for precision, accuracy, representativeness, completeness,
and comparability. Limits are outlined in this QAPP and the individual SAP. Any data failing to meet the
stated limits will be indicated by including data qualifiers on all affected data.
To meet SAP requirements for data quality, periodic assessments may be conducted to assure
adherence to SOP requirements for field sampling, sample custody, equipment operation and
calibration, laboratory sample analysis, and data reporting. Further, the PM will assess the quality of
data generated once sampling and analysis of each project has been accomplished to assure that all data
are scientifically valid and of known and documented quality as specified in the project SAP.
If any information found during data assessments calls into question the usability of the data, the PM
will investigate the impact and corrective action will be taken to address any concerns. Corrective
action may include the need to re-sample and/or re-analyze samples to obtain usable data.
ATK Launch Systems Inc. – Promontory July 2, 2018
Post Closure Permit UTD009081357
Page 20 of 25
The assessment process is also intended to ensure that there is an acceptable level of confidence in the
decisions that are made from the data. Data that fail to meet the QC criteria may still be used for
informational purposes, but will be flagged to indicate that the data has limited usability in meeting
project objectives.
Data assessments will be conducted by the PM after each sampling event to assure that the QAPP, SOPs,
and SAPs have been properly implemented. The PM will ensure that corrective actions are executed for
any nonconformance.
Audits may be conducted as a means to determine compliance with this QAPP and SAPs. Specifically,
audits may be conducted for both field and laboratory operations to assess performance to project
requirements. Several factors will be taken into consideration for determining the scope and
frequency for audits as follows:
1. Complexity of the activity;
2. Duration and scope of activity;
3. Degree of QC specified in the SAP;
4. Criteria to achieve quality assurance objectives;
5. Requirements for deliverables;
6. Participation of contractors;
7. Criticality of data collection; and
8. Potential for or frequency of nonconformance.
Addressing Nonconformance: The PM has the authority to stop all or part of the project activities if a
nonconformance occurs and the authority to assure appropriate development and implementation of
the required corrective actions.
Documentation: All auditing processes and results shall be documented.
C2 – Reports to Management
The PM will keep Environmental Services management apprised project performance assessments and
corrective actions. This will be communicated verbally in project progress meetings.

D – Data Validation and Usability
D1 – Data Review, Verification and Validation
Laboratory Data Reduction and Review
Data reduction is the process of transforming raw data measurements obtained during analysis to final
reported data. This usually involves various calculations, application of dilution or preparation factors,
as well as the use of rounding data values to the appropriate number of significant figures. Reduction of
laboratory analytical data will be completed in accordance with the laboratory’s quality assurance
program and standard operating procedures.
The laboratory will perform the in-house analytical data reduction and QA review under the direction of
the laboratory manager or designee. The laboratory is responsible for assessing data quality and
indicating in the analytical reports any problems with the data that may affect usability. Any QC outlier
will be addressed and a comment in the laboratory database will be made to state any affect the outlier
may have had on the usability of the data. The laboratory will take corrective action were appropriate
to ensure data generated meets method and project objectives. Data reduction, QA review, and
reporting by the laboratory may include the any number of the following QC tasks:
1. The data reviewer will check that preliminary data produced by the analyst are processed and
reviewed for attainment of quality control criteria as outlined in the laboratory QAP.
2. The data reviewer will check all manually entered sample data for entry errors and will check for
transfer errors for all data electronically uploaded from the instrument output into the software
packages used for calculations and generation of report forms and will decide whether any
sample re-analysis is required.
3. The data reviewer will review initial and continuing calibration data, and calculation of response
factors, surrogate recoveries, matrix spike/matrix spike duplicate recoveries, internal standard
recoveries, laboratory control sample recoveries, sample results, and other relevant QC
measures.
4. Upon acceptance of the preliminary reports by the laboratory data reviewer, the Laboratory QA
Officer will review and approve the data packages prior to report submittal to the PM.
The signing of the Certified Analytical Data Report by the QA Officer indicates that the QC review tasks
have been accomplished.

manufacturer or in the SAPs. Data shall be reported in a format to be provided in SAPs and shall include,
at a minimum the following QC checks:
1. The PM will check that data produced by the instrument are within the calibration range of the
instrumentation and other QC measures relevant to the field instruments. The degree to which
the data meet DQOs will be provided in the data report.
2. The PM will check field logs and cross check field sampling locations and procedures with the
field data for representativeness.
3. The PM will check all manually entered field data for entry errors and will check for transfer
errors for all data electronically uploaded from an instrument output where appropriate.
D2 – Verification and Validation Methods
Laboratory Data Validation
The first level of review will be conducted by the Laboratory. Laboratories have the initial responsibility
for the correctness and completeness of the data they generate. The laboratory data reviewer will

The data package delivery requirements as specified in this QAPP and SAPs will be reviewed for
completeness. Data determined to be outside acceptance criteria, using professional judgement, and
any conclusions reached concerning usability of the suspect data will be described in the third party data
validation reports.
Field Data Validation
The purpose of the validation process is to evaluate the usability of field data that are collected or
documented in accordance with specified protocols outlined in the SAPs. Field data will be reviewed
for data usability and adherence the project objectives outlined in the SAPs and this QAPP
D3 – Reconciliation with User Requirements
Once the data verification and validation procedures have been completed, the PM will evaluate the
results to determine if project DQOs have been met for field operations and laboratory analyses,
respectively. The calculations specified in other sections of this QAPP and in SAPs will be used to
determine if numeric acceptance criteria have been met. Data, which do not meet the requirements for
their intended use, will be flagged accordingly and the flags entered into the project database, so that all
data reports used for decision making are clearly noted

GROUND WATER SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN
FOR POST-CLOSURE PERMIT MONITORING
1.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
ATK Launch Systems (ATK) has developed this plan to satisfy the requirements for a ground water sampling and analysis plan as referenced in R315-264-97 of the Utah Administrative Code and this Permit.
The plan specifically addresses the sampling of ground water monitoring wells at ATK Launch systems Promontory, Utah-based Operations. The location, number, and description of each well have been submitted previously to the Utah DWMRC. The plan addresses all procedures for taking ground water samples, shipping the samples for analysis, and methods for analyzing samples.
The goal of this plan is to collect groundwater samples that are representative of in-situ groundwater conditions and to minimize changes in groundwater chemistry during sample collection and handling. DNAPL’s are not known to be present in any screened interval of any well. If DNAPL’s are discovered to be present in a well, this document is not sufficient, and
protocol for sampling will be developed prior to sample collection.
2.0 QUALITY OBJECTIVES AND CRITERIA FOR MEASURMENT DATA
This section presents the DQOs for the project and the performance criteria necessary to meet
these DQOs. Included are discussions of the project DQOs, quantitative DQOs (precision, accuracy, and completeness), and qualitative DQOs (comparability and representativeness). The overall QC objective is to generate data that are of known, documented, and defensible quality.
2.1 DATA QUALITY OBJECTIVES
DQOs are statements that specify the quantity and quality of the data required to support project decisions. DQOs were developed for this project using the seven-step process listed in Data Quality
Objectives Process for Hazardous Waste Site Investigations (U.S. EPA, 2000). The QC procedures as well as the associated sampling procedures for this project will be focused on achieving these DQOs in a timely, cost-effective, and safe manner. Deviations from the DQOs will require defining the cause or causes for noncompliance and will initiate the process of
determining whether additional sampling and analyses will be required to attain project goals.
2.1.1 Statement of Problem
Groundwater monitoring at the ATK facility has shown that, due to waste management practices of the past, contaminants have been released to the groundwater. Some of the contaminants have
______________________________________________________________________________ Attachment 3 SAP 5 ATK Launch Systems Inc. - Promontory July 2, 2018 Post Closure Permit
routinely been detected at concentrations exceeding the Groundwater Protection Standard
(GWPS) established in Module IV of this Permit. Pursuant to R315-264-90, and this Permit, ATK is required to establish a corrective action program when the GWPS is exceeded. Groundwater monitoring data collected in accordance with this SAP will be used for assessing the human health and ecological risk associated with the contaminated groundwater in order to
determine the appropriate corrective action. Monitoring data will also be used to update
groundwater flow and transport models that are used to predict the migration of contaminants and how points of exposure may be affected. Therefore, the goal of this plan is to outline the methodologies for collection of groundwater samples that are representative of in-situ groundwater conditions and to minimize changes in groundwater chemistry during sample
collection and handling.
2.1.2 Decision Statement
Decision statements identify the key questions that the study should address and alternative
actions that may be taken, depending on the answer to the study questions. The key questions
associated with groundwater sampling at the Promontory facility are:
• Where do the contaminant concentrations exceed the GWPS? and;
• Does the site contamination pose an unacceptable risk to human health and the environment? The decision statement for this program is to determine where contaminant concentrations exceed the GWPS site-wide and what response is appropriate for those areas. The appropriate
response (e.g. removal or treatment of contaminants, site management, or continued monitoring) will be based on the results of groundwater models, human health and ecological risk assessments and a corrective measures study.
2.1.3 Decision Inputs
The most appropriate resolution of the decision statement will require the collection of groundwater samples and potentiometric surface data on a regular schedule. These samples will be analyzed for the constituents shown in Table 1 of this SAP. The analytical methods that will
be used are also shown in the table. These data along with historic groundwater data, will be
used as inputs to groundwater models and human health and ecological risk assessments. All of this information will be considered and appropriate corrective measures will be proposed in a Corrective Measures Study. 2.1.4 Study Boundaries Groundwater contamination at the facility exists in at least three separate plumes and in two different aquifers. The boundary of the study is defined by the extent of groundwater
contamination and is not limited to the ATK property. The Area of Compliance is defined as all
monitoring wells, piezometers and springs located within impacted aquifers and displaying
______________________________________________________________________________ Attachment 3 SAP 6 ATK Launch Systems Inc. - Promontory July 2, 2018 Post Closure Permit
concentrations that exceed the Groundwater Protection Standard as defined in section IV.C. of
Module IV. The monitoring wells and springs that may be sampled are listed in Table 4-A of Attachment 4. Wells are selected for sampling on an annual basis. Shotgun and Pipe Springs are sampled
semiannually, once in the Spring and once in the Fall. Well and spring locations are shown on
Plates 1(a) and 1(b), Attachment 4.
2.1.5 Decision Rule
As stated above, groundwater monitoring at the site has shown that the GWPS has been
exceeded for a number of constituents. The GWPS for constituents that have been detected at
the site are listed in Table IV-1 of the Permit. Based on the requirements of R315-264-90 and this Permit, if the GWPS is exceeded then a corrective action program shall be initiated. In accordance with Module V, Section A, ATK is currently conducting human health and
ecological risk assessments, as part of the corrective action program, using the Director approved
groundwater flow and contaminant transport models. The risk assessments are being conducted in accordance with the State of Utah R315-101 Cleanup Action and Risk-Based Closure Standards. The characterization and evaluation of risk is based on developing concentration terms for contaminants (generally the 95% upper confidence limit of the mean) and calculating
the reasonable maximum exposure for all exposure pathways. The appropriate response action
that will be taken at the site will be dependent on the results of the risk assessments.
2.1.6 Tolerable Limits on Decision Errors
Tolerable error limits assist in the development of sampling designs to ensure that the spatial
variability and sampling frequency are within specified limits. However, the location, number,
and frequency of sampling at the Promontory facility has been previously determined by the requirements of the Post Closure Permit and compliance monitoring downgradient of identified Solid Waste Management Units. The selection of the well locations was based on professional judgment rather than statistics. Therefore, error limits are not used to determine sampling
locations or frequency. There is no need to define the “gray region” or the tolerable limits on the
decision error, since these only apply to statistical designs. In general, the steps necessary to minimize errors and produce good quality data will be incorporated into quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) protocols in this plan.
2.1.7 Selected Sampling Design
The proposed sampling locations (monitoring wells) were drilled in areas based on best professional judgment, site history, aerial photos, and results of previous environmental investigations. A statistical design for collecting groundwater samples will not be used. The
Post-Closure care period began in 1992 for the M-136 impoundments. The location of
contaminant plumes have been identified based on this collection of data. In addition, due to the large number of wells that exist, plans are submitted annually for which wells will be sampled.
______________________________________________________________________________ Attachment 3 SAP 7 ATK Launch Systems Inc. - Promontory July 2, 2018 Post Closure Permit
The selection of wells to sample is based on an evaluation of what data is the most pertinent at
the time the sampling plan is generated.
2.2 QUANTITATIVE OBJECTIVES
Precision quantifies the repeatability of a given measurement. Precision is estimated by
calculating the relative percent difference (RPD) of field duplicates, as shown in the following
equation:
x100Result)/2 Duplicate(Result
Result DuplicateResult%)RPD +
−=(
The laboratory will review the QC samples to ensure that internal QC data lies within the limits of acceptability. Any suspect trends will be investigated and corrective actions taken. The
laboratory will document the calculation for %RPD or other statistical treatment used. The results will be compared to the acceptance criteria as published in the mandated test method. Where there are no established criteria, the laboratory will determine internal criteria and document the method used to establish the limits
Accuracy refers to the percentage of a known amount of analyte recovered from a given matrix. Percent recoveries are estimated using the following equation and can be calculated for the project-specific matrix (i.e., water).

Recovery Matrix Spike/Matrix Spike Duplicate
(MS/MSD)(%)=x100 AddedSpike
Result) (SampleResult) Sample (Spiked −
The recovery of most spiked organic compounds is expected to fall within a range of 70 to 130%.
Completeness refers to the percentage of valid data received from actual testing done in the laboratory. Completeness is calculated as shown in the following equation. The target
completeness goal for all compounds is 100%. However, where data are not complete, decisions
regarding re-sampling and/or reanalysis will be made by a collaborative process involving ATK Environmental personnel, laboratory personnel, and regulatory personnel. The completeness goal for holding times will be 100%.

Valid Judged tsMeasuremen ofNumber
2.3 QUALITATIVE OBJECTIVES
Comparability is the degree to which one data set can be compared to another. To ensure comparability, samples will be collected at specified intervals and in a similar manner, and will
be analyzed within the required holding times by accepted and comparable methods.
Comparability will be obtained through the use of standard sampling procedures and trained personnel, and through standard analytical methods used by the laboratory. Additionally, adherence to the procedures and QC approach contained in the QAPP will provide for comparable data throughout the sampling events. All data and units used in reporting for this
project will be consistent with accepted conventions for environmental matrix analyses. This
approach will ensure direct comparability between the results from one sampling event to the next sampling event using the methods presented in this SAP. Representativeness is the degree to which a sample or group of samples is indicative of the
population being studied. Over the course of a project, samples will be collected in a manner
such that they are representative of both the chemical composition and the physical state of the sample at the time of sampling.
2.4 AUDITS AND REPORTING
A Performance Audit will be conducted during a sampling round at least once in a five year period. The performance audit will be used to determine the status and effectiveness of field and laboratory measurement systems.
For the laboratory, this will involve the use of PE samples with known concentrations of
constituents that will be analyzed as unknowns in the laboratory. Results of the laboratory analysis will be calculated for accuracy against the known concentration and acceptance limits provided by the supplier or manufacturer.
Field performance will be evaluated using field blanks, trip blanks, field duplicates, and
equipment blanks as described in Section B5 of the QAPP. A Data Quality Audit will be conducted following the procedures specified in Section C2 of the QAPP to assess the effectiveness and documentation of the data collection and generation
processes. Data-quality audits will be conducted by the DVSM at least once during a five year
period. A Technical System Audit (TSA) will be performed once each five years. A TSA is a thorough and systematic qualitative onsite audit where equipment, personnel, training, procedures, and
______________________________________________________________________________ Attachment 3 SAP 9 ATK Launch Systems Inc. - Promontory July 2, 2018 Post Closure Permit
record keeping are examined for conformance with requirements of the QAPP. The TSA will
encompass field sampling activities, data validation, and data management. All findings will be documented in writing to the OPM and communicated to the PM when the assessment is complete. A copy of the TSA report will be provided to the Division for review, together with a discussion of all proposed corrective actions and corrective actions taken as a result of the audit.
The TSA will include a field audit to check on sample collection and sample handling procedures. The field audit will include: • A review of compliance with requirements of the QAPP and Sampling Plans
• On-site visits, which will include observation of field personnel as they perform
all aspects of the sampling programs: field equipment calibration, equipment decontamination, sample collection, sample packaging, and documentation. The on-site visits will also include a review of data collection forms, COC forms, calibration procedures, etc. The auditor will also talk individually with field
personnel to determine consistency of sampling procedures and adherence to the
approved sampling plan.
3.0 SAMPLE COLLECTION
As of March, 2012, 102 groundwater monitoring wells have been installed at the ATK-
Promontory facility. The first series of wells was installed in 1985. The RCRA Groundwater Monitoring Technical Enforcement Guidance Document (TEGD) was used as a guide for the installation of monitoring wells once the document was published in 1986. Wells have been completed in both bedrock and unconsolidated sediments and from depths ranging from 25 feet
to over 600 feet deep. 20 foot well screens and dedicated pumps were used in the earlier wells
that were installed. More recent wells that have been installed utilize 10 foot well screens without dedicated pumps. ATK collects groundwater samples, in accordance with the November 1992 TEGD, using the
pumps described in Section 3.2.3 below or HydraSleeve, no purge groundwater samplers, as
described in Section 3.3.1 below. Occasionally, bailers may be used for collecting samples from the deepest wells at the facility. In general, if the well still has an operating, dedicated pump the sample will be collected with the pump using the well purging and sampling methods described below.
In the Spring of 2006, ATK began a study to evaluate the use of the HydraSleeve, no purge sampling method. A plan to evaluate the accuracy of the collection method was submitted to the Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste (the Division) in April of 2006. The study showed that samples collected with the HydraSleeve compared very well with samples collected using the
conventional method. The Division approved the use of the HydraSleeve sampler on June 20,
2008. This SAP includes the use of the HydraSleeve sampler as an option for collecting groundwater samples.
______________________________________________________________________________ Attachment 3 SAP 10 ATK Launch Systems Inc. - Promontory July 2, 2018 Post Closure Permit
The HydraSleeve sampler will be used in all applicable wells, unless the wells have a
functioning dedicated pump system.
3.1 WATER LEVEL MEASUREMENT
Before sampling any ground water monitoring wells, a water level measurement will be recorded
using an electronic water level indicator to the nearest 0.01 feet. The water level will be recorded in the field book before each monitoring well is sampled. The total depth of all monitoring wells that are completed in unconsolidated sediments will be measured every three years beginning in 2008 and will be recorded to the nearest 0.1 feet in the field book. The
northern edge of the (inner) PVC casing shall be used as the reference point. Table 2 contains a
list of all wells at the facility that were completed in unconsolidated sediments.
3.2 PURGING THE MONITORING WELLS
The ground water monitoring wells will be purged before sampling begins, unless the well will
be sampled using the HydraSleeve sampling method. Monitoring wells shall be purged so that stagnant waters, which are not representative of the waters in the aquifer, can be removed before sampling. The amount of water to be removed from the well will be dependant upon the ground water yield for the formation in which the well is located. Although specific purge and sample
systems are described below, other methods may be employed if they meet guidelines approved
by the USEPA and Utah DSHW.
3.2.1 Purging High-Yield Formations
A. For high-yield formations (which produce greater than 1 gpm), three casing volumes of
water will be removed from the well or until the pH, temperature, and conductance has stabilized
within approximately 10% over at least two measurements. A casing volume is defined as the volume of water between the water level measured and the total depth of the monitoring well. The casing volume will be calculated during each sampling period, so that a consistent volume of standing water can be removed prior to each sampling.
B. Low-flow Purging (consistently yields the highest level of data quality), <1 L/min (.26 gpm), Low-flow Sampling < 300 ml/min (0.3 L/min or 0.1 gpm). During purging, the water level in the well should not decrease significantly and should stabilize after purging for a few minutes. Purge the well until the pH, temperature, and conductance have stabilized within approximately
10% over at least two measurements. The pump intake will be positioned within the lower
screened interval.

3.2.2 Purging Low Yield Formations
For low-yield formations (which produce less than approximately 1 gpm), wells should be purged at or below their recovery rate so that migration of water in the formation above the well
screen does not occur. A low purge rate also will reduce the possibility of stripping VOCs from
the water, and will reduce the likelihood of mobilizing colloids in the subsurface that are immobile under natural flow conditions. Make sure that purging does not cause formation water to cascade down the sides of the well screen. At no time should a well be purged to dryness if recharge caused the formation water to cascade down the sides of the screen, as this will cause an
accelerated loss of volatiles. Water should be purged from the well at a rate that does not cause
recharge water to be excessively agitated until the pH, temperature and conductance has stabilized within approximately 10% over at least two measurements. The pump intake will be positioned within the lower screened interval.
3.2.3 Purging and Sampling Equipment
Wells less than 250 feet deep may be purged and sampled with a variable frequency pump or a bladder pump. Wells greater than 250 feet deep may be purged and sampled using a pneumatic-operated tubing-vented piston pump or a bladder pump. Wells greater than 250 feet with a dedicated system may use a submersible pump for purging and a bladder pump for collection of
volatile organic samples or a variable frequency 4” diameter Pump or a bladder pump. Wells
greater than 500 feet deep may be purged using a submersible pump and sampled with a bailer or a bladder pump may be used. Variable speed low rate centrifugal pumps and bladder pumps may also be used for both purging and sampling. When dedicated equipment is not used for sampling it should be cleaned in the following manner: Wash the equipment with a non-phosphate
detergent. Rinse the equipment with tap water. Rinse the equipment with reagent water.
Decontamination fluids should be put in the waste water collection tank and disposed of with the collected well water. Equipment blanks will be taken on approximately 10% of all wells sampled not using dedicated equipment.
The HydraSleeve groundwater sampler can be used in wells that do not have a functioning,
dedicated sampling system.
3.2.4 Nested Multi-Screened Well
Wells B-2 and F-2 consist of three two inch inside-diameter well casings nested within an eight-
inch diameter borehole. Each casing is screened at a different depth in the aquifer. These wells
are also sampled using a HydraSleeve. If a pump is used, purging and sampling is accomplished by using a pneumatic-operated tubing-vented piston pump or a centrifugal, variable speed, low-rate pump. Each casing shall be purged of three casing volumes prior to sampling, or until parameters stabilize.

3.3 SAMPLING PROCEDURE FOR MONITORING WELLS
Each well will be sampled using the following procedure. These procedures will describe specifically the following steps for sampling the wells.
(1) Each well will be purged before removing a sample unless the well will be sampled using the HydraSleeve sampling method as described below. (2) If purging is required, the sampling pump will be operated to produce a stream of ground
water. Before taking a sample, the pH, specific conductance, and temperature will be
measured using portable meters. Samples will be taken when the pH, conductance, and temperature have stabilized to within approximately 10% over at least two readings, or after three casing volumes of water have been purged. A sample from the pump will be put into an appropriate container.
(3) For volatile organic compounds, the flow rate will be restricted to less than 100ml/minute while taking the samples. To minimize the possibility of volatilization of organic constituents, no headspace should exist in the containers of samples containing volatile organics.
(4) The samples will be taken in the following order: 1) Volatiles 2) Anions 3) TDS
4) Metals 5) Other Constituents (5) The number, size and type of sample containers required for the constituents that will be sampled are given in Table 1.
(6) If samples are being split, the samples will be taken directly from the ground water monitoring well. This process will be done in order to minimize volatilization of sensitive organics.
3.3.1 HydraSleeve The HydraSleeve is a discrete interval, no-purge groundwater sampler. A representative sample is collected by the sampler when it is raised through the water column in the screened interval of the well. A new, clean HydraSleeve sampler is used each time a
sample is collected by this method. One or more HydraSleeves are weighted and placed within the screened interval of the monitoring well. Typically a dedicated pre-measured line allows for the required depth to
______________________________________________________________________________ Attachment 3 SAP 13 ATK Launch Systems Inc. - Promontory July 2, 2018 Post Closure Permit
be achieved during each sampling event. It is typically left in the well for a period of
time to allow the well to re-equilibrate following sampler deployment. To activate, the sampler is pulled up a distance equal to 1 to 2 times the sampler length. The HydraSleeve collects a sample with no drawdown and minimal agitation or displacement of the water column. Once the sampler is full, the one-way reed valve closes, which prohibits any
more water from entering the sampler. An alternate approach to activating the sampler is
to raise and lower it multiple times over a distance equal to the sampler length. This approach is less attractive because the raising and lowering of the sampler can result in increased agitation of the water in the well and higher turbidity levels in the sample.
The best way to remove a sample from the HydraSleeve with the least amount of aeration
and agitation is with the short plastic discharge tube included with each sampler. First, squeeze the full sampler just below the tip to expel water resting above the flexible check valve. Then, push the pointed discharge tube through the outer polyethylene sleeve about 3-4 inches below the white reinforcing strips. Discharge the sampler into the desired
containers (per sampling protocol). Raising and lowering the bottom of the sampler or
pinching the sample sleeve just below the discharge tube will control the flow of the sampler. The sample sleeve can also be squeezed, forcing fluid up through the discharge tube, similar to squeezing a tube of toothpaste.
3.4 FIELD QUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTROL PROGRAM
The field QA/QC program is described in the Post-Closure Permit Quality Assurance Project Plan. A general description is given below.
A QA/QC officer has been appointed to oversee the Ground Water QA/QC Plan, implement all
phases of the Field Quality Assurance and Control Program, and to periodically audit the laboratory’s QA/QC Program. The QA/QC officer will work with the sampling staff and the laboratory’s QA/QC officer to assure that the data collected from the ground water is accurate. The QA/QC officer duties include:
1. Making sure that the Ground Water Sampling Plan is followed. 2. Making sure the laboratory follows their QA/QC plan.
3. Send spiked samples periodically to the laboratory to audit the QA/QC program.
3.4.1 Trip Blanks, Field Blanks and Field Duplicates
Trip blanks, when collecting VOC’s, will consist of not less than ten percent of the total of
samples, and will be made of deionized water, prepared at the laboratory immediately before
leaving on a sampling run. The trip blanks are then placed in a cooler which will be filled by
______________________________________________________________________________ Attachment 3 SAP 14 ATK Launch Systems Inc. - Promontory July 2, 2018 Post Closure Permit
other samples: the trip blanks are handled in the same manner as other samples. Holding times
for a trip blank begins when groundwater samples are being collected. Field Blanks (field rinsate blank, decontamination blank, equipment blank)
Collect one field blank for every 10 samples collected. Decontaminate the sampling equipment
for the field blank the same way you do when collecting other samples. After decontaminating the sampling device (e.g., bailer or pump), fill it with laboratory reagent grade water, then collect a sample of the reagent grade water, this is your field blank. The field blank should be analyzed for the same parameters as the samples. Field blanks are not required if you used dedicated
sampling equipment (permanently left in the well) or disposable sampling equipment.
Field duplicates, consisting of not less than ten percent of the total samples, will be collected and stored with the water samples. The field duplicates are collected and handled at the same time and in the same manner as a regular sample. The results of these samples are compared against
those of the appropriate regular sample.
3.4.2 Blind Controls and Spiking Samples
Annually, the QA/QC officers will send a spiked sample or a blind control to the laboratory to audit the laboratory’s QA/QC program. A blind control and a spiked sample both are samples
with a known amount of solute in a solvent. The difference between a blind control and a spiked
sample is the following: 1) Blind Control – An unannounced spiked sample sent to the laboratory.
2) Spiked Sample – An announced spiked sample sent to the laboratory.
The level of contamination in either case is not divulged to the laboratory. The QA/QC officer will review the spike or blind control recovery. If the spike or
blind control recovery is out of line with the laboratory’s surrogate spike and
matrix spike recoveries, the laboratory’s QA/QC officer will be contacted to resolve the problem.
3.4.3 Sample Handling
Sampling equipment and techniques have been designed so that the ground water sample is not
contaminated or altered. A critical part of obtaining samples is proper sample handling. All of these procedures will be followed for handling ground water samples. All samples requiring refrigeration will be stored in a secured refrigerator or ice chest with ice.
Sample preservation requirements and maximum holding times for the constituents that will be
collected are shown in Table 1. All samples will be labeled and accompanied by a laboratory request and chain of custody sheets.

15) Any irregularities in the sampling procedures or in the conditions of the wells.
16) Any other information the sampler deems necessary or important during sampling.
3.4.6 Chain-of-Custody Control Procedures
All samples will be controlled by chain-of-custody procedures. All samples shall be accompanied by a chain-of-custody form. This form must be completely filled out, signed, and dated by the sampler. An example of the form is found on Figure 1.
The containers will be placed in a lockable cold storage box, or refrigerator. This box will be in
the possession of the person charged with the custody of the samples or the box will be locked and placed in a secure place. Under no circumstances will the box with the samples be left unlocked or unattended. A copy of all the Chain-of-Custody forms will be reviewed for accuracy and filed by the QA/QC officer.
3.4.7 Field Equipment Calibration Procedure
The pH and conductivity meters will be calibrated with a standardized solution in accordance with the manufacturer’s specification each day they are used when collecting samples. Record of these calibrations will be kept in the Field Log Book.
3.5 SAMPLE COLLECTION SCHEDULE
The ground water monitoring wells will be sampled annually in accordance with Module IV. Shotgun and Pipe Springs are sampled semiannually, once in the Spring and once in the Fall.

Monitoring Well Completion Report Requirements
Introduction The Monitoring Well Completion Report requirements that are addressed in this attachment are based on the EPA RCRA Groundwater Monitoring Technical Enforcement Guidance
Document (OSWER-9950.1, November 1992), and subsequent addenda. The Monitoring
Well Completion Reports shall, at a minimum, consist of the four following components: 1. A boring log that documents well drilling and associated sampling;
2. A well construction log and well construction diagram (“as built”);
3. Well survey information for locations and elevations of the newly completed wells, with a map showing the well locations, and
4. A summary that discusses how the groundwater flow model shall be updated
based on the data obtained from the installation of the new wells. The detailed information that shall be included for each of the four components is outlined below.
Additional Information In addition to the four main components, the Well Completion Reports shall include a description of the purpose of the new wells (e.g. definition of the extent of groundwater
contamination plumes) and a discussion on deviations from the Monitoring Well Installation
Plan. In addition, Monitoring Well Completion Reports shall include sections on geology and hydrogeology. Well Completion Reports submitted by Thiokol in the past have included
cross-sections, fence diagrams, and summary discussions on the geology and hydrogeology
of the new wells. If pump or slug tests are conducted, the test data should be submitted with calculations for transmissivity, hydraulic conductivity and groundwater flow rates. Boring Logs and Field Records
Drilling logs and field records should be prepared detailing the following information: · The lithology or pedology (i.e., geologic or soil classification) of each geologic and soil unit in the unsaturated and saturated zones, including the confining
layer. The classification system used for lithologic and pedologic descriptions
should be a system described in the literature, and should be summarized or referenced in the permit application. For example, soils may be described

using the Unified Soil Classification System, and rock may be described using
the classification schemes of Dunham (1962) for carbonates, Pettijohn et al. (1972) for sandstones, Potter et al. (1980) for shales, and the common textural and compositional classification schemes for igneous and metamorphic rock (e.g., rhyolite, granite, basalt, schist, slate, marble, gneiss, etc.). Examples of
these classifications schemes are presented in Appendix 2;
· Descriptions of the structural features encountered. As applicable, this should include a description of planar features (e.g., bedding planes, graded bedding), lineations, and other features related to vegetation, and discontinuities. The
orientation of these features should be measured and described when possible;
· Moisture content (saturated, moist, dry), degree of weathering, color (referenced to standardized colors when possible (e.g., Munsell color for moist soil and unconsolidated materials)), and stain (e.g., presence of mottles, Fe203),
as applicable;
· If a field monitoring device (e.g., FID, PID) is used, the data from these measurements, including sampling method, background and sample concentrations, probe type, span setting, and calibration gas type and concentration, should be provided to EPA as part of the boring log or field
record; · Depth to the water table; · Depth to water-bearing unit(s) and vertical extent of each water-bearing unit;
· Depth of borehole and reason for termination of borehole; · Depth, location, and identification of any evidence of contamination (e.g., odor, staining) encountered in borehole;
· Observations made during drilling (e.g., advance rate, water loss); and · Observations made during soil, unconsolidated material, or rock sampling (e.g., blow counts, sample recovery).
The subsurface boring log should contain at least the information identified with an "X" in the Table below (Aller et al., 1989 provide an example format for a field boring log).

Well Construction Log and Diagram
In accordance with Condition VI.B.5, all documents pertaining to the design, construction, and development of RCRA monitoring wells shall be kept by the Permittee in the facility operating record and submitted as part of the operating permit. The well
construction log and well construction diagram should present the following information
(including dimensions, as appropriate): · Well name/number; · Date/time of well construction;
· Borehole diameter and well casing diameter;
· Well depth (±0.1 ft); · Casing length; · Casing materials; · Casing and screen joint type;
· Screened interval(s);
· Screen materials; · Screen slot size/design; · Filter pack material and size; · Filter pack volume (calculated and actual);
· Filter pack placement method;
· Annular sealant composition; · Annular seal placement method; · Annular sealant volume (calculated and actual); · Surface sealant composition;
· Surface seal placement method;
· Surface sealant volume (calculated and actual); · Surface seal and well apron design/construction; · Well development procedure and ground-water turbidity measured at the completion of well development;
· Type and design/construction of protective casing;
· Well cap and lock; The owner/operator should document that the following well completion activities were performed appropriately:
· Selection of construction materials for the casing and screen; · Selection of the well diameter, screen length, and screen slot size; · Selection and emplacement of the appropriate filter pack; · Selection and emplacement of the annular sealants;
· Providing proper security of the well; and
· Adequately developing the well.

Monitoring Well Survey Information and Map
· Ground surface elevation (±0.01 ft); · Survey reference point elevation (±0.01 ft) on well casing; · Top of monitoring well casing elevation (±0.01 ft);
· Top of protective steel casing elevation (±0.01 ft); and
· Surveyed well locations; and · Map showing new monitoring well locations. Groundwater Flow Model Update Summary
A summary shall be included that discusses how the groundwater flow model shall be updated based on the data obtained from the installation of the new wells. Examples of the type of information that may be discussed include: presence of contamination (if data is available when report is prepared); geology and hydrology (if not discussed in other sections
of the report); potentiometric surface; implications regarding the groundwater flow and
transport model; receptors or threats to human health and the environment; etc.
