. . . Alpine ski Center. These potential uses are compatible with other uses, such as industrial and commercial uses. The TCAAP site also could be linked to the Rice County cross-country ski trails. Wayne Gilbert from Alliant Techsystems gave the next presentation. Alliant Tech (A.T.) came to TCAAP in 1958, at that time as a division of Honeywell. A.T. has been manufacturing ammunition at . the plant since that time. A.T. supplies the U.s. with ammunition and is a Fortune 500 company traded on the New York stock Exchange. A.T. has 9000 employees and Minnesota is its corporate . headquarters. TCAAP houses the Defense Systems Group of A.T. A.T. 's future plans on TCAAP are still under consideration. However, A.T. is very involved with TCAAP, due to the large number . of employees (930) and the extensive manUfacturing operation on the plant. Mr. Gilbert indicated that A.T. expectp-d to maintain a "long-term presence" on the arsenal. . AMCCOM and A.T. have an Authorized Use Contract which sets out the responsibilities of both parties. A.T. must maintain roads, water . lines, sewer lines, gas lines and fencing. AMCCOM can terminate A.T.'s contract within 30 days, however 000 would then have to pay for interruption in production schedules, and for moving government owned equipment to another location. These costs would be very . high. "Surge and Mobilization Capacity" is another aspect of A.T. 's -. agreement with the federal government. Given the unpredictable demand for ammunition, A.T. must be ready at all times to mobilize its workers and supplies to increase output of ammunition when needed. The operation at TCAAP is an Industrial Readiness Retention . Center. Any area used by a tenant which produces 000 products, in this case . Alliant Tech, is not subject to excessing. This includes any safety arcs which encompass the production of these products. A.T. has been involved in several environmental clean-up efforts. I The TCAAP Groundwater Recovery System (TGRS) extracts contaminated water from many wells on the property and treats it. 90% of the clean water goes directly to the aquifer and 10% is used for . potable water by A.T. TGRS treats l~O million gallons of water a month. The PIUlIle Groundwater Recovery System (PGRS) is used to clean . neighborhood water. PGRS is located off-site and cleans 1.7 billion gallons of water per year. The contamination in this water came . from the industrial solvents used during the first years of production at TCAAP. -There are 56 explosive storage magazines on TCAAP. These magazines -. store the components for the ammunition. A.T. uses 25 of these magazines. All af the magazines in use are within fences. 000 -. strictly controls all of the magazines an TCAAP, and conducts .
