1.0 lntroduction
United States (U S.) Army Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) Title V Operating Permit
(TVOP) Number 4500003005 issued by the State of Utah Division of Air Quality (UDAQ),
sets DPG's operating requirements in accordance with Utah Administrative Code and 40
Code of Federal Regulations. TVOP condition ll.B.11.b.3 "Outdoor Test and Training"
requires DPG to submit quarterly reports containing test and training operations which
resulted in the release of criteria and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) into the
atmosphere.
This quarterly outdoor test and training report contains emission calculations based on
releases that occurred during test and training operations conducted throughout the 2nd
quarter (OTR) of fiscal year 2025 (FY25), January 1 ,2025, through March 31,2025.
The Quarterly Report is presented in the following sections:
Section 2 - Test Operations
Section 3 - Training Operations
Section 4 - Summary Criteria and Hazardous Air Pollutants
Section 5 - References
2.0 Test Operations
This section describes testing operations resulting in the release of criteria pollutants;
particulate matter (PMro/PMz.s), nitrogen oxides (NOr), sulfur oxides (SOr), carbon
monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOC), lead, and total HAPs into the
atmosphere during 2nd QTR FY25. The following information is provided for each test:
. Name and brief description of test operation.
. Purpose of the test operation.
o Start and end dates of test operation.
o Names (common and chemical names) and quantities of each criteria pollutant
and total HAPs released.
2.1 Comet !l Test
The Comet ll test is designed to simulate the failure of a launch vehicle (LV) fueled by
liquid oxygen (LOX) and liquid natural gas (LNG). Simulated LV failures assist in
developing safety standards and characterizing these propellant explosions in a realistic
way that represents LV accidents. This test included one event occurring on March 12,
2025. The name (common name) and quantity of the materials released during this test
operation have been provided in Table 1.

Table 2 below represents emission calculations of releases into the air of criteria
pollutants and HAPs in pounds based on the materials used during the Comet ll test.
LNG was converted to its criteria pollutant and total HAP values using a surrogate for
Natural Gas Combustion, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Air Pollutant (AP)-42,
Section 1.4 Emission Factors.
2.2 Screening Obscuration Module (SOM) Test
Screening Obscuration Module (SOM) test is a feasibility test executed for evaluating the
SOM for its suitability to produce smoke and obscuration effectiveness. This test included
one event occurring on February 13, 2025. The name (common name) and quantity of
the material released during this test operation has been provided in Table 3.
Table 4 below represents emission calculations of releases into the air of criteria
pollutants and HAPs in pounds based on material used during the SOM test. The material
listed in Table 4 has been converted to its criteria and HAP values using a mass balance.

3.0 Training Operations
This section describes training operations resulting in the release of criteria pollutants or
HAPs into the atmosphere during 2nd QTR FY25. The following information has been
provided for each training operation:
. Name and brief description of test operation.
o Purpose of the test operation.
o Start and end dates of test operation.
o Names (common and chemical names) and quantities of each criteria pollutant
and total HAPs released.
3.1 Ghemical Energetics Course (CEC)
The Chemical Energetics Course (CEC) course is a 40-hour training, research, and
development course for military explosive ordnance disposal personnel on the hazards
related to chemicalenergetic materials. Energetic materials are detonated in small-scale
quantities to demonstrate visual signatures and effects. This training course includes two
events occurring on January 24, 2A25, and February 7, 2025. Names (common and
chemical names) and quantities of each material released during this test operation are
provided in Table 5. \Nhen applicable, materials released such as smoke, obscurants and
delivery systems, munitions, and incendiary devices, are listed by their designated
Department of Defense ldentification Code (DODIC) number followed by their
Department of Defense (DOD) nomenclature in tables below.
Table 5: MateialReleases - CEC
Materials and the DODIC number listed in Table 5 were converted to their criteria pollutant
and HAP values using EPA, AP-42 emission factors and EPAs Emission Factors for the
Disposal of Energetic Materials by Open Burn/Open Detonation (OB/OD). Table 6 below
represents the release of criteria pollutants and HAPs in pounds during the CEC.

The munitions listed in Table 7 were converted to their criteria pollutant and HAP values
using EPA, AP-42 emission factors and EPA's Emission Factors for the Disposal of
Energetic Materials by OB/OD. lf emission factors were unavailable a surrogate was
used. Table 8 represents the release of criteria pollutants and HAPs in pounds during
range training operations.
