6.0 HAZARDQUS WASTE CONTINGENCY PLAN
The Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan (HWCP) is a part of the overall
Bacchus Works Emergency/Disaster Plan. The Contingency Plan is specific to
tJUl'-JjAi: 2'4-'\? C~'lii*<''^^'^l>^
hazardous waste facilities HS-1, HS-3, ES-l,;,and the NIROP buming grounds.
It also addresses hazardous inaterial spills on site of significant
quantities, which trigger the implementation of this plan. (jP^^,(j,-"'
6.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan is designed to minimize the
hazards to human health and the environment in the event of an uncontrolled
release of hazardous wastes or hazardous constituents and describes the
actions that will be taken immediately during emergency situations whenever
there is any unplanned, sudden, or non-sudden fire, explosion, or release of
hazardous waste or hazardous constituents to the air, soil, or surface water
at the hazardous waste facilities.
6.1.1 Site Location
The Hercules Bacchus Works hazardous wastes facilities are located at
the main plant which is 4 miles south of the unincorporated town of Magna,
Utah and 18 miles southwest of Salt Lake City, Utah. Plants 1, 3, Bacchus
West, High Tech Structures, and NIROP are included as part of the main
Bacchus Works which occupy approximately 6900 acres. Hercules operates the
Navy Industrial Reserve Ordinance Plant (NIFv.OP) on an adjoining 500 acres
located immediately to the north.

6.1.3 Operations at Bacchus Works
The operations at the Bacchus Works include:
° Production of nitro glycerine
° Manufacture of rocket motor propellant
° Assembly of rocket motors
° Static testing of small rocket motors
° Production of Graphite Fibers and Composite Products
" Research
" Support, Administration, and Maintenance of facilities
" Storage and Treatment of chemical and explosive hazardous wastes
Hazardous waste operations are incidental to the manufacture of rocket
motors at the Bacchus Works. Explosive and chemical hazardous waste
generated during the manufacturing process and are treated or stored at the
hazardous waste facilities. These facilities consist of fo«r W^ hazardous
waste container storage areas: Plant 1 hazardous waste container storage
facility (HS-1), and Plant 3 hazardous waste container storage facility

Part B Operational Plan
July 1990
Hazardous waste chemicals and some explosives are stored at the hazardous
waste container storage facilities until processed and shipped to
appropriate and permitted treatment and disposal facilities. Waste
explosives and explosive contaminated materials are either treated at the
burning grounds or shipped for off-site disposal. These facilities and
their operations are described in more detail in Description of Hazardous
Waste Facilities, Section 2.2 and Process Information, Section 4.0.
6.1.4 Geography and Hydrology
The topography of the Bacchus Works rises gently from an elevation of
about 4540 feet above mean sea level to approximately 6000 feet. The
surface of the site is generally covered by a thin veneer of residual and
colluvial soils.
Drainage is primarily overland flow within the site. The major stream
drainage through Bacchus Works is Coon Creek [See Plate 2.1-1], an
intermittent stream. There are several smaller intermittent tributaries
which feed Coon Creek. Coon Creek enters Plant 1 from the south and
proceeds northward to a Salt Lake County flood control detention basin, near
4100 South street along the northern boundary of the Bacchus Works. Stream
drainage and underground aquifers flow generally to the north and northeast
toward the Great Salt Lake, which is located approximately 20 miles to the
north. The upper ground water aquifer at the site varies from 80 - 350 feet
in most areas, to less than 5 feet in the vicinity of the NIROP buming
ground. The buming grounds are the only hazardous waste facility within
the Coon Creek drainage area; however, it is, outside the 100 year flood
plain. HS-1, HS-3, ES-l,\and other facilities'are located in areas
associated with overland flow.

6.4.2 Identification of Hazardous i-laterials
The EER Coordinator will identify the materials involved, character,
approximate amount and a real extent of the release. This will be done by
observation, discussions with knowledgable individuals, review of records or
manifests, and if necessary, by chemical analysis. The initial
identification of a chemical spill will be conducted by trained
individuals. Full protective clothing, if necessary, to include SCBA level
B gear will be used unless toxic fumes or gases can be completely ruled
out.
The materials involved in a release can be identified and/or verified
by checking a manufacturers label, a shipping label, or other visible
markings on the container. If available, a Ifeterial Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) will be consulted to identify all pertinent hazards and any
recommendations concerning personal protective equipment needed and handling
precautions.
When a waste material cannot be immediately identified by a container
label or other convenient method, samples of the material will be taken and
analyzed for identification. Field characteristic tests will be taken and
will include as needed:
° pH test
" Flammable gas
" Oxygen deficiency test
° Carbon monoxide test
° Organic vapors
Another source of information which may be consulted in the event of a
spill/release is the CHEMTREC "Hotline" 1-800-424-9300. CHEMTREC is usually
able to provide warnings and guidance when provided with only the product
name of the material. If the product is not known, provide as much of the
following information as possible.
6-11
Hercules Incorporated
Bacchus Works
Part B Operational Plan
July 1990
° Name of caller and telephone number
° Location of problem
° Shipper or manufacturer
° Container type
° Local conditions
" Known chemical information
6.4.3 Assessment Criteria
The EER Coordinator will assess all possible hazards to human health
and to the environment as soon as possible after a release is reported. The
assessment will consider both direct and indirect effects.
In the event of an environmental emergency, the decision to implement
evacuation and notification procedures shall be made based on the following
criteria:
° Fire or Explosion Hazards
" Corrosive Material Hazards
° Toxic Hazards
° RQ level of material and quantity spilled
" Location of spill
" Containment of spill
" Water contamination
" Air contamination
° Ventilation parameters and vapor migration routes.
6.4.4 Control Procedure Guidelines
The general response requirements by priority are to: 1) Identify the
problem, 2) Isolate and evaluate, 3) Request assistance, 4) Identify the
6-12
Hercules Incorporated
Bacchus Works
Part B Operational Plan
July 1990
material, 5) Control the spill, 6) Suppress fires, 7) Control any leak
and 8) Initiate recovery and cleanup operations. Generally, the first
response to emergency situations will be made by the Bacchus Works Fire
Department.
The Fire Department Lieutenant on duty will immediately notify the EER
Coordinator of an emergency suspected of Involving hazardous materials.
Until actual hazards have been identified and verified, the EER Team will
fully protect themselves by assuming a worst case scenario and dress in
appropriate protective equipment. Injured personnel will be immediately
evacuated to medical care and non-injured personnel will be removed from
immediate hazard exposure at the scene of the incident. The members of the
Bacchus Works Fire Department are trained Emergency Medical Technicians and
are available to transport injured parties to a medical facility. The Fire
Department will then secure a perimeter at a stafficient distance from the
contamination source to prevent further injury to facility personnel until
relieved by either Plant Security personnel or by the EER Team.
The EER Team will assume responsibility for all cleanup activities,
area decontamination, and resource activation and control at the emergency
site whenever hazardous waste materials are involved.
Because of varied and highly sensitive materials and processes within
the boundaries of the Bacchus Works, the EER Coordinator, or other
designated Hercules employes will direct outside emergency response units or
individuals during all on-site operations. In every case, Hercules reserves
primacy for emergencies occurring within Hercules, Bacchus Works boundaries,
and as such, will coordinate and control all non-Hercules resources
responding to an emergency situation.
6-13
Hercules Incorporated
Bacchus Works
Part B Operational Plan
July 1990
6.4.4.1 Fire/Explosion
In the event of a fire or explosion at a hazardous waste facility, the
Fire Department will apply appropriate fire fighting procedures to prevent
the spread of fire to adjoining buildings and property. Precautions will
include but are not limited to the following:
" Closing fire doors in the buildings
" Immediate ceasation of hazardous work in the building or area
* Contact the Environmental Emergency Response Coordinator
6.4.4.2 Hazardous Wasta/Ifeterial Spill/Release
If an emergency involves a hazardous material release, the Fire
Department Lieutenant shall immediately contact the EER Coordinator. The
Environmental Emergency Response Team will evaluate possible hazards from a
safe distance and dress out in appropriate protective equipment. The Fire
Department—Environmental Emergency Response Team will immediately contain
the spread of the release by diking with an absorbent material and identify
the material(s) involved in the spill if possible. The Fire Department will
maintain a security perimeter at a safe distance around the spill and limit
access to the contaminated area until relieved by Security personnel or the
EER Team. They will also provide fire fighting support as required.
Flammable material spills require removal or deactivation of all
sources of Ignition or sparks in a building or in the immediate vicinity.
Vehicle traffic and other operations in the immediate area will be suspended
until the area is determined safe by the Environmental Einergency Response
Coordinator following cleanup activities.
6-14
Hercules Incorporated Part B Operational Plan
Bacchus Works July 1990
The EER Team under the direction of the EER Coordinator will have
primary responsibility for the control of non-explosive hazardous material
spills or releases. The control activities performed at the scene of the
incident by the EER Team will include:
" Identification of personnel hazards, and handling and disposal
techniques.
° Sampling of unknown materials.
° Neutralization of corrosive materials.
" Application of absorbing medium to flammable liquids to limit fire
hazards.
Explosive material spills will be cleaned and slummed by the operating
group that generated the spill or by the operating group on duty at the time
the spill is reported. The Environmental Planning and Operations Department
is responsible for disposal of the explosive slums.
Due to the depth of ground water at Bacchus (80-350 feet in most
areas), spills onto unprotected ground should not impact ground water
quality if remediated promptly. Spills will be contained by immediate
diking and will be cleaned as rapidly as possible. Contaminated materials
will also be cleaned up and disposed of properly.
6.4.4.3 Natural Disaster
The Fire Department will respond to natural disasters in the same
manner as to a fire or explosion. Damage to personnel, facilities and the
environment will be immediately evaluated and actions taken to treat and
transport injured to medical treamtment facilities. If there is immediate
danger to the hazardous waste facilities or there are hazardous material
releases, the EER Coordinator will be notified.
6-15
Hercules Incorporated
Bacchus Works
Part B Operational Plan
July 1990
6.4.5 Prevention of Recurrence or Spread of Fires, Explosions or Releases
During an environmental emergency, the EER Coordinator will take all
reasonable measures necessary to ensure that fires, explosions, and releases
do not occur, reoccur, or spread to other hazardous wastes at the facility.
These measures will Include, where applicable-, stopping processing
operations, collecting and containing released waste, and removing or
isolating hazardous waste containers. If operations are suspended at a
facility in response to a fire, explosion or release, monitoring will be
initiated for leaks, pressure buildup, gas generation, ruptures in valves,
pipes or other equipment if appropriate.
6.4.6 Storage and Treatment of Released Material
Following an environmental release, arrangements will be made to
dispose of the recovered waste, contaminated soil, surface water, wash and
rinse water or any other material. Until the hazardous waste can be
/ r (<;
disposed of, it will be stored at either HS-1, HS-3, ES-1 or in the [ft i\j
ar hui.cl/ric.^ ^^^5". \'^
temporary storage Building 31 (PEP waste only), Nonconsumable items
contaminated in response to an emergency release will be decontaminated by
washing in soapy water. All contaminated materials will be contained,
analyzed as needed and disposed of in accordance with hazardous waste
regulations.
6.4.7 Incompatible Waste
No waste that may be incompatible with the released material will be
treated, stored, or disposed of at the facility until cleanup procedures are
completed.
The area of the spill/release will be secured by fire/security
personnel during the initial response, by Identifying a "contamination area
boundary" around the spill- anything inside of the boundry will be assumed
A.^
6-16
Hercules Incorporated
Bacchus Works
Part B Operational Plan
July 1990
contaminated. Materials and personnel not essential to the cleanup
operation will be prohibited from crossing the boundry until after the
cleanup is complete and the area is released to area supervision by the EER
Coordinator. All incompatible materials will be removed from the
contaminated area immediately if conditions permit. Chemicals or other
materials may not be moved into the contaminated area until the EER
Coordinator declares the area free of contamination.
Liquid wastes will be placed in 55 gallon drums, segregated from
non-compatible materials, either by physical barriers or by storage in
separate locations. Drums with flammable liquids will be grounded to
prevent ignition by static or other electrical discharges. Non-compatible
PEP wastes will be slummed and stored separately and disposed of in
accordance with applicable operating procedures.
Small quantity flammable wastes (paint containers, lab chemicals, etc.)
will be stored at HS-1 and segregated by compatibility types in either metal
flammable storage cabinets inside of the building or in a flammable storage
building.
All containers In HS-1 and HS-3 are inspected daily for leakage.
Aisleways are maintained for convenient inspection, handling, and spill
response.
6.4.8 Post Emergency Equipment Maintenance
All items used in a cleanup operation will be cleaned with soapy water
before being removed from the contaminated area. The wash water will be
collected in a plastic pool and treated like other contaminated materials.
As each piece of equipment is cleaned, it will be passed to personnel
6-17
Hercules Incorporated Part B Operational Plan
Bacchus Works July 1990
outside of the "contamination area" and retumed to storage for further
use. Operations will not be resumed until the equipment is inspected and
determined fit for its intended use.
6.4.9 Container Spills and Leakage
When a leaking container of hazardous material is found. Environmental
Operations will be notified for the cleanup activities.
After putting on appropriate protective clothing and equipment, the
Environmental Operations personnel will identify the spilled material and
contain the spill by diking. The leaking container will be tipped so that
the leak is in an upright position. A temporary seal will be applied to the
leaking container (i.e., a clay, cloth, putty, or wooden .plug) and the drum
reoriented to the upright position. Either the drum will be overpacked or
all remaining materials will be pumped to a new container.
Spilled materials will be absorbed, neutralized or pumped as required
and the area decontaminated. Absorbent and cleanup materials, including
disposable equipment, will then be placed into a collection drum for
disposal. Once decontamination and cleanup operations are complete, the new
container will be moved to the proper storage location.
6.4.10 Open Buming/Open Detonation Emergency
Emergencies at the explosive storage and treatment facilities require
immediate response by Environmental Operations personnel. Personnel safety
will always be the primary concern. Potential emergency circumstances
include unplanned initiation of materials on the buming pads, explosion,
fire in one of the facilities, or other natural disaster.
5-18
Hercules Incorporated
Bacchus Works
Part B Operational Plan
July 1990
The Environmental Operations personnel will immediately report
unplanned initiation or other fire to the Safety, Fire Department, and to
Environmental Operations supervision. Immediate actions will be taken to
remove injured personnel from the area, but only \Aien it is safe to enter
the area. A fire blanket, chemical fire extinguisher, and water supplies
(hydrant and hose) are immediately available for extinguishing buming
clothing. Immediate first aid should be applied to Injured personnel prior
to the arrival of the Fire Department. In no instance will attempts be made
to extinguish burning materials on a bum pad or any of the other explosive
facilities.
While minor detonations are not common at the buming ground, a
dentonation of sufficient force to cause damage or to cause hazard to the
operating personnel in the control bunker is possible if the entire load of
explosives on the pads detonate simultaneously. A forceful explosion will
be heard over the entire Bacchus Works. The supervision of Environmental
Operations is responsible to immediately investigate possible injury to the
personnel and damage to facilities and equipment. Injured personnel may or
may not be able to communicate by radio or telephone. The foreman observing
the bum from a distance should be able to investigate and report injuries
if necessary.
Natural disaster concerns at the NIROP buming ground is primarily with
flood. The burning ground is located just outside in the 100 year flood
plain of Coon Creek. To date, flooding has not been a problem due to
diversion ditches and berms which divert floodwater around the burn ground
perimeter. Heavy rains and snow do not cause pooling on the sand/gravel
surface. If the buming ground facilities should become immersed in
floodwater, operations will cease until the pads are cleared.

situations as required.
6.5 COORDINATION AGREEMENTS
Under all circumstances, the EER Coordinator will be responsible for
environmental emergency responses on site. Any assistance provided by
outside agencies, contractors, etc., will be at the direction of Bacchus
Works' key employes.
Agreements for fire fighting assistance are maintained with West Valley
City and Salt Lake County Fire Departments in the event that the Bacchus
Works Fire Department cannot control a fire. If additional assistance is
required. West Valley City or Salt Lake County Fire Departments are
available.
Personnel from the Bacchus Works Fire Department will escort, direct,
and manage the overall emergency fire fighting operation. Because of the
nature of operations conducted at the site, it is understood by outside fire
departments that our Fire Department is cognizant of the explosive dangers
on-site. In addition. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) protocol
dictates that the first agency on the scene coordinates all fire fighting
activities.
A good mutual working arrangement is maintained between Bacchus Works
Security Management personnel and the West Valley City Police and Salt Lake
County Sheriff's Departments. In the event additional law enforcement
personnel are required, other outside police departments located within the
County will be contacted. Bacchus Works personnel will escort outside law
enforcement personnel at all times to avoid possible dangers due to the
nature of our operations.

release from Bacchus East. LEPCs are notified of an off-site release when
Hercules calls 911 and reports the incident. Hercules Bacchus Works key
employes will notify the 911 Operator if the off-site release requires LEPC
response. If LEPC response is requested the appropriate fire department
will then become the incident commander at Bacchus East or West and direct
