2.

I am employed as an environmental scientist in the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste.

3.

Part of my responsibilities involve RCRA compliance for activities associated with Hill Air Force Base, including activities that occur at the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR).

l 4.

Exhibit A consists of a Memorandum from Hill Air Force Base to Dennis Downs, Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste (" Division"), dated j

September 8,1998. It has one attachment, " Composition of C-41st,2nd &

3rd Stage Propellants."

5.

Hill AFB submitted the September 8,1998 Memorandum to the Division as part ofits RCRA obligation to obtain approval for the use of a new location of open detonation of hazardous waste.(rocket motors) at UTTR North. I obtained this document from the Division's Hill Air Force Base file and have reviewed the document for purposes of RCRA compliance.

6.

Exhibit A also consists of copies of photos #1 through #8 with my handwritten notations, which I took during a rocket motor detonation demonstration test at UTTR North range on an April 7,1999. The photographs are also referred to in my deposition, taken by counsel for the i

MEMORANDUM FOR Mr. Dennis Downs l

Dept. of Environmental Quality Div of Solid and Hazardous Waste 228 North 1460 West Salt Lake City, UT 84114-8440 FROM: OO-ALC/EM 7274 Wardleigh Rd.

Hill AFB, UT 84056-5137

SUBJECT:

Demonstration Tests at Thermal Treatment Unit-2

1. ThiTletter is to notify you that Hill AFB is preparing to perform demonstration tests at the Thermal Treatment. Unit - 2 (TTU-2) preferred location, Doyle's guich. The demonstration tests l

will support our request for installation and operation of the new TTU. Hill AFB would like to conduct the demonstration tests during the fall of 1998 and spring of 1999.

T

2. The overall purpose of the demonstration tests is to determine the suitability of the new TTU for 0-treatment operations. The first goal is to " dry run" the treatment of the Trident I motors at the j

proposed new TTU. Operations procedures used at the existing 'ITU will be used for the demonstration tests. Modifications will be made as necessary. The second goal is to demonstrate that up to 80,000 LB NEW (the equivalent of two Trident I first stage motors) can be treated by OD without adverse noise or air emissions impacts.

3. The first event willinvolve two detonations of two each 2nd stage rocket motors this fall. Since each second stage motor has a NEW of 17,000 LB, the total NEW for each detonation will be 34,000LB. In the spring of 1999, additional tests of 2nd stage motors are planned for. These will test three and four stage two motors in each demonstration event. One additional demonstration event will involve the detonation of two first stage Trident I rocket motors. Each motor has an NEW of 40,000 lbs, giving an overall NEW of 80,000 lbs. Composition of the both stages is approximately 21% Nitroglycerin (NO),19 % Aluminum (AL),40 %

Cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine (HMX),8% Ammonium Perchlorate (AP), and 6% Polyglycol adipate.

4. In order to conduct the demonstration tests, a road will be built to transport the motors to the detonation area and the detonation area will be cleared of vegetation and leveled. The NEPA process is being followed and will be completed for the 'ITU-2 primary and alternate locations. In addition, a Notice of Intent (NOI) will be sent to the Division of Air Quality for the demonstration t

tests.

5. We have finalized our Test Plan for the Demonstration Tests at TTU-2 and have attached a copy p

for you. Also attached is a copy of our revised Pan A permit to conduct the demonstration tests.

6. We would appreciate it if you could provide us with any comments you have on this matter. We are preparing to conduct the demonstration test starting 21 Sept 1998 and would like to receive your comments as soon as possible. For questions or comments contact Mr. Michael Petersen, EMC, 775-6904.
