HomeMy WebLinkAboutDSHW-2024-007135Utah Test and Training Range Issued DRAFT Module II – Page 1 MODULE II - GENERAL FACILITY CONDITIONS II.A. APPLICABILITY II.A.1. The requirements of this permit module pertain to all Hazardous Waste Management Units (HWMUs) identified within Module III. II.A.2. The Permittee is allowed to receive waste energetics, as defined in Condition III.B. and Attachment 2, from off site for treatment at the TTU. II.B. DESIGN AND OPERATION OF HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT UNITS (HWMUs) II.B.1. The Permittee shall design, construct, maintain, and operate the HWMUs to minimize the possibility of a fire or explosion, not authorized by this permit, and of any sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to air, soil, groundwater, or surface water that could threaten human health and the environment. II.B.2. The Permittee shall construct all HWMUs or make substantial changes to existing structures in accordance with designs approved by the Director, except for minor changes deemed necessary by the Permittee and approved by the Director, to facilitate proper construction of the HWMU. Minor deviations from the approved designs to accommodate proper construction and the substitution of equivalent or superior materials or equipment shall be noted on as-built drawings and specifications, and a rationale for those deviations shall be provided in written form. II.B.3. After review of the as-built drawings, the Director shall notify the Permittee in writing of any change the Director concludes is not minor and is necessary for proper construction. The Director may notify the Permittee that the permit has been violated by making such changes without Director approval prior to construction and may require the Permittee to remove and replace any construction inconsistent with any approved designs and specifications. II.B.4. Prior to commencing construction of any new HWMU(s), the Permittee shall collect background soil samples in accordance with a Director approved Baseline Sampling Plan. II.B.5. The Permittee shall only treat waste energetics listed in Attachment 2 unless a permit modification allowing treatment of other wastes has been approved by the Director in accordance with UAC R315-270-41.

The Permittee shall notify the Director in writing at least four weeks in advance of the date the Permittee expects to receive waste energetics from a foreign source, as required by UAC R315-264-12(a)(1). Notice of subsequent shipments of the same waste from the same foreign source in the same calendar year is not required. II.C.2. Hazardous Waste from Off-Site Sources. When the Permittee is to receive energetic waste from an off-site source, it must inform the generator in writing that the Permittee has the appropriate permits for, and will accept, the waste the generator is shipping. The Permittee must keep a copy of this written notice as part of the Operating Record as required by UAC R315-264-12(b). II.D. WASTE CHARACTERIZATION AND ANALYSIS II.D.1.

RISK THRESHOLDS II.F.1. The Open Burning and Open Detonation (OB and OD) operations shall be conducted to minimize the risk to human health and the environment. The risk thresholds in Condition III.C.3. for operations at the TTU are based on the risk assessments in Attachments 10A and 10B. The human health risk assessment uses potency factors (slope factors or chronic reference doses) for carcinogens and reference doses for non-carcinogens from the U.S. EPA’s Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) and from the U.S. EPA’s Health Effects Assessment Summary Tables (HEAST) databases. II.F.2. The Permittee shall submit to the Director for review and approval, by August 1 of every fifth calendar year after issuance of the Permit, an evaluation of the completeness and accuracy of the risk assessments in Attachments 10A and 10B. At a minimum, the evaluation shall include the following information: II.F.2.a. A review of the chemicals in Attachments 10A and 10B to add additional emissions as a result of updates in the MIDAS database or other relevant emission data; II.F.2.b.
