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

II.C. REQUIRED NOTICE
II.C.1. Hazardous Waste Imports. 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. The Permittee shall comply with the Waste Characterization Plan (Attachment 2)
to address the waste characterization requirements of UAC R315-270-14(b)(2)
and the Waste Analysis Plan (Attachment 3) to address the requirements of UAC
R315-264-13. The Waste Characterization Plan divides the more than 13,000
potential energetic waste items treated at the TTU into subfamilies based on
similar constituent makeup. The Waste Characterization Plan builds on the
information in the DOD Munitions Items Disposition Action System (MIDAS)
database, although not all of the munitions treated at the TTU are found in the
MIDAS database. Characterization data for items not listed in MIDAS will be
obtained as described in Attachment 2. The Permittee shall adhere to the
following requirement:
II.D.1.a. The Permittee shall submit to the Director, by March 1 of each calendar year, a
report describing the wastes that were treated at the TTU during the previous
calendar year. The report shall certify that the known waste streams have not
changed and shall include a description of any changes in the energetic waste
information since the last date of the report.
II.E. WASTE ACCEPTANCE
II.E.1. The Permittee shall follow the Waste Acceptance Procedures in the Waste
Analysis Plan (Attachment 3) of this permit. In addition, the Permittee shall
comply with all other conditions involving waste acceptance in Module III.
II.E.2. Upon receipt of energetic waste at the Facility, all formal requests for treatment
from the generator, and associated correspondence must be referenced to each
uniform hazardous waste manifest and shall be kept in the operating record.
Inspection of each shipment, including confirmation of serial numbers and the

waste description, shall be recorded in the Operating Record and compared to the
acceptable parameters and type of energetic waste described in the Waste
Characterization Plan (Attachment 2).
II.E.3. The Permittee shall use only energetic waste descriptions presented in the Waste
Characterization Plan in Attachment 2. Changes in waste descriptions presented
in Attachment 2 as a result of an improvement or refinement by the DOD shall be
adopted by the Permittee in accordance with Condition II.B.5.
II.F. 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. A review of the toxicity information (reference doses, cancer slope factors), in
Attachments 10A and 10B, to include any new or updated toxicity data;
II.F.2.c. A review of environmental sampling data acquired since the last evaluation and
discussion of how these data affect the risk assessments in Attachments 10A and
10B; and
II.F.2.d. Any necessary revision to Attachments 10A and 10B that results in an increase in
calculated risks at the TTU will be submitted as a permit modification, in
accordance with UAC R315-270-42, and by March 1 of the following calendar
year.
