Reasons for Exemption
This short-term Consent Agreement is issued by DTSC to allow continued operation. It requires AMPAC to comply with all applicable state laws and regulations governing hazardous waste management. In addition, project specific parameters that limit the potential impact of the project include the following:
1. AMPAC will review each proposed new manufacturing process to ensure its safety.
2. Air permits are obtained from the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District for each process prior to its commencement and are based on the engineer's proposed design and anticipated emissions.
3. Aeroject is entirely fenced and the gates are manned with 24 hour security guard service. Aeroject maintains a fire service and haz mat group that will continue to provide services to AMPAC's pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.
4. All manufacturing programs are reviewed for hazards during their design phase by a team consisting of engineers, operators, chemists, and environmental health and safety personnel.
