12 OXIDIZER LEACHING PROCESS 12-1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
ATK Launch Systems - Promontory (ATK) operates a small treatment
process in which it can remove the oxidizer from class 1.3 explosive sufficient enough to render the explosive nonreactive. This process is conducted in Building M-705L. This process leaches the oxidizer from class 1.3 explosives with heated water, and agitation if needed, rendering the
explosive nonreactive. The effluent wastewater is then treated through
various processes in the advanced wastewater treatment facility prior to being discharged. The remaining solid residue is then prepared for disposal as a solid waste.
The oxidizer leaching process allows some reactive hazardous waste to be
treated by wastewater technology in place of treatment by open burning. 12-2 PROCESS DESCRIPTION
The oxidizer leaching process is a simple process. ATK only treats specific
waste streams that can fit this treatment methodology. As previously described, the process leaches the water soluble oxidizer from 1.3 class explosives using water and agitation if necessary to render the explosive nonreactive.
The following is a description of the oxidizer leaching process. The process uses a 600 gallon leach tank that was fabricated from 3/16” stainless steel. The tank is equipped with high and low level transmitters and is heated by low pressure steam. The tank has been designed with steel grating between the reactive waste items and the heat exchanger to prevent direct contact
with the explosive material and the hot surface of the heat exchanger. The heated steam control is interlocked with the water level, to prevent steam heat from being applied when the low level water alarm is active. The system also utilizes air sparging to assist in the leaching process if
needed. Water is supplied to the unit and is protected with backflow prevention. The building has been adequately ventilated for this process. Water sampling is performed periodically to monitor the oxidizer levels during the leaching process. Once the oxidizer levels stop increasing in the water, this indicates that no further leaching is taking place and the process
is complete. The inert waste is then removed from the baskets and prepared for disposal as a solid waste. The oxidizer containing wastewater is then treated by one or multiple biological, chemical, or physical treatment processes at the wastewater treatment facility.

12-3 WASTE ANALYSIS AND OPERATING PARAMETERS
Prior to treatment of a new composite propellant waste or propellant contaminated waste article, a Waste Profile is developed to determine the operating parameters such as, temperature, air agitation and time necessary
to complete the oxidizer removal.
The Waste Profile is developed in a “bench top” laboratory type process and then followed by laboratory testing to determine the amount of oxidizer remaining and a determination of when the material is no longer a reactive
waste. The Waste Profile number and laboratory testing results are
maintained in the facility permit operating record. The system is designed and operated to prevent any releases to the environment and to safely render the reactive material to a nonreactive state.

12-4 ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS The M-705L leaching process has been located, designed, operated, and maintained in a manner that will ensure protection of human health and the
environment. This section addresses the prevention of releases due to the
migration of hazardous constituents into the ground water or subsurface environment, surface waters, wetlands, surface soils, and in the air. 12-4-1 Prevention of Releases to Ground Water or Subsurface Environment

Several parameters have been considered in determining the prevention of a release to ground water or to subsurface environments. It is important to note that this process is completed inside a closed building with containment. The containment system, consisting of concrete floor space with curbing and a concrete sump within the floor space area, is shown in
the facility drawing contained in Attachment 6 (Figure K-1). Because of this secondary containment, there should be negligible potential for deposition or migration of waste constituents into the subsurface or groundwater.
12-4-2 Prevention of Releases to Surface Water, Wetlands, or Soil Surface The oxidizer leaching area has secondary containment to ensure collection of any spill or release. The oxidizer leach tank has a maximum volume of
approximately 600 gallons. The containment system has a volume of
approximately 800 gallons. Within the containment system is a blind sump with a volume of approximately 100 gallons. The sump is only used if a spill occurs; it is not used on a routine basis. The sump is located beneath the leach tank to contain a small spill. The overall floor space containment is
ATK Launch Systems Inc. – Promontory September 2019 Attachment 12 – Oxidizer Leaching Process UTD009081357
5
designed to collect any large spill and has more than sufficient capacity to
hold any spill during the oxidizer leaching process. The use of this containment along with the high level transmitter and the low volume of waste and wastewater reduces the potential for any releases
to surface water, wetlands, or surrounding soils.
Wastewater resulting from this treatment process will be treated by one or multiple biological, chemical, or physical treatment processes at the wastewater treatment facility prior to being discharge to the environment.

12-4-3 Prevention of Releases to Air The oxidizer leaching process is completed within a closed building that contains a closed tank with a lid. The only constituent released to the air is a
very small amount of hydrogen. An on-site Safety evaluation has been
completed to verify that no hazard is created from the small amount of hydrogen released within the building. Since there is very small amount of constituents released to the air, the potential for any adverse effects to human health or the environment are negligible.

12-5 MONITORING, ANALYSIS, INSPECTION, RESPONSE, REPORTING, AND CORRECTIVE ACTION Handling explosive waste requires special handling precautions and safety
procedures, ATK personnel follow internal procedures for performing the
leaching process. ATK will conduct the leaching process in a manner that will ensure protection of human health and the environment. ATK will comply with the requirements specified in the facility Contingency Plan (Attachment 4), when there has been a release at Building
M-705L that threatens human health or the environment. ATK will comply with the ignitable and reactive waste regulations as required by R315-264-17.
ATK will inspect Building M-705L in accordance with the inspection schedule contained in Attachment 2. 12-6 RECORD KEEPING AND REPORTING

The Permittee shall record in the Operating Record the following: 12-6.1 The date a batch of contaminated production materials is placed in the M-705L treatment tank;

ATK Launch Systems Inc. – Promontory September 2019 Attachment 12 – Oxidizer Leaching Process UTD009081357

12-6.2 The quantity and description of contaminated productions materials or
propellants/explosives, including the Waste Profile #, placed in the treatment tank; 12-6.3 The laboratory testing results associated with each Waste Profile #;

12-6.4 The date the treatment process for each batch of contaminated production materials or propellants/explosives is complete; 12-6.5 The date the wastewater is pumped out of the tank to the wastewater
treatment plant; and
12-6.6 The waste determination of the treated production materials and the date they are removed from the tank.
12-7 CLOSURE
ATK will close Building M-705L in accordance with R315-264-110 through R315-264-120, R315-264-178, Permit Condition II.O. and Attachment 5 of this Permit.
