If <br />DTSC issues Primex a <br />Hazardous Waste <br />Facility Permit, the CV <br />would serve the dual <br />purpose of treating hazardous <br />wastes and also <br />testing explosives. Up <br />to 10 pounds of waste <br />LX -14 will be allowed <br />per detonation. <br />Primex estimates detonating <br />approximately <br />200 pounds of waste explosives <br />per month. <br />Wastes generated from <br />the detonation process, <br />such as ash and spent fi ters, will be <br />ce: : n- ::: tel 11ehaz r: Otis or nc�n-'rl�ra,rdous <br />and be disposed of acco dingly. <br />IV. Permitting and Enforcement <br />History <br />Permitting <br />Prior to January 1997, Primex was doing <br />business as Physics International Company <br />(PI). For historical purposes, Primex will be <br />referred to as PI for activities occurring prior <br />to January 1997. On April 6, 1981, DTSC <br />issued PI an Interim Status Dociiment (ISD) <br />that allowed both open detonation and open <br />burning of waste explosives. On November 8, <br />1989, PI submitted a Part A and Part B <br />Application for a permit that would replace <br />their ISD, if approved. On June 7, 1991, in <br />the middle of the permitting process, PI <br />withdrew their application. Instead, PI closed <br />their open burn unit and open detonation pit <br />according to DTSC approved closure plans. <br />DTSC certified the clean closure of these sites <br />on June 30. 1994. _ <br />?\I:;rch 1997 P. c 3 <br />N <br />
