RE: Emergency Permit UTD009081357 Dear Mr. Blauer:

The Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control has completed its review of your September 27, 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 at the Kosmo testing area. The flares that will be tested and covered by this permit are LUU-19, LUU-1,
LUU2-C/B, M257 and M278.
Enclosed is Utah Hazardous Waste Emergency Permit #UT-022-2018 authorizing ATK to treat the flares identified above that are 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.

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.
In the event that a flare doesn't deploy or ignite as designed and cannot be located for treatment under
this permit, ATK should notify the Division as soon as possible. In addition, all lost flares must be
recorded and included in the report described above.
This permit was effective on October 1, 2018 and will expire on December 29, 2018. Emergency
permits are issued under the authority of 19-6-101 through 122, Utah Code Annotated, as amended and
R315-270-61 of the Utah Administrative Code.
If you have any questions, please call Jeff Vandel at [phone].

Permittee:
ATK LAUNCH SYSTEMS -PROMONTORY
UTD009081357
P.O. BOX707
BRIGHAM CITY, UT 84302-0707
Pursuant to the Solid and Hazardous Waste Act, 19.6.101-123, 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-1, LUU2-C/B, LUU-19, 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 Di vision 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, R315-124 and R315-101. Applicable rules are
those which are in effect on the date of issuance of this permit.
In addition, all waste generated from the treatment shall be properly characterized and transported to an
approved disposal facility. The Permittee shall maintain records of the open burning activities. These
records shall include the date and time of treatment, the name of the person(s) conducting the treatment,
the number and type of flares treated, the specific location of treatment within the Kosmo testing area, a
record of any lost flares, a description of the treatment effectiveness and the final disposition of waste
residues. These records shall be included in a report that shall be submitted to the Director within 14
days of the expiration date of the permit. In addition, if A TK 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 September 27, 2018,
and through discussions with A TK 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 R315-270-6l(b)(4). 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 October 1, 2018 and shall expire on December 29, 2018, unless terminated in
accordance with applicable rules.
