Dear Mr. Anderson:
Re: Hazardous Waste Inspection
Information Request
EPA ID No. UTDOOl705029
The hazardous waste inspection for 1993 of the Hercules Aerospace Company,
Bacchus Works (Hercules) focused on the disposal of Titan IV Forward Segment
TF009 (TF009) at Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR). As you are aware
representatives of the Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Control Board (the Control
Board) inspected TF009 prior to its shipment to UTTR and were present during
disposal. In order to complete our inspection, you are hereby requested to submit
the following information on or before October 15, 1993:
1. Please provide a copy of the hazardous waste manifest which accompanied
the TF009 segment to the UTTR facility.
2. Please indicate when TF009 became the property of the U.S. government.
Specifically, when was the paperwork signed transferring ownership from
Hercules to the U.S. government.
3. The Hazardous Waste Disposal Plan for TF009 indicates that flexible linear
shape charges are going to be used after the burn to "cut up" the carbon fiber
casing and that the casing will be disposed of at an appropriate industrial waste
facility. Please provide copies of all manifest or shipping papers used for the
disposal of the TF009 casing. Also, indicate how Hercules established that the
casing could be disposed of as solid waste at an industrial waste facility.
4. Also, if available, please provide photographs of TF009 before unloading,
after unloading, and after disposal.
Printed on recycled paper
Given the nature of this disposal operation, we understand that some portions of
this request may be confidential, should Hercules choose to request confidentiality,
a confidentiality claim pursuant to R315-11 of the Utah Administrative Code will
be necessary. If you have questions, please contact Bill Wallner at 538-6107.
Sincerely,
Dennis R. Downs, Executive Secretary
Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Control Board
