1. Applicant:
Todd McKinney, University of Alabama in Huntsville, 241 Aldrin Dr,
Huntsville AL 35806
Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
Waste management. The applicant proposes to deploy five micro super
pressure weather balloons from Neumayer Station III in East Antarctica
with the purpose of researching the behavior of micro super pressure
balloons in the Antarctic climate. The balloons will fly for 30-150
days and then land, below 50 degrees south. The balloons will not be
recovered. The balloons themselves should degrade within 3 years, while
the small circuit boards they are equipped with will degrade between 25
to 50 years. The applicant is seeking a Waste Permit to cover these
unrecoverable balloons and circuit boards.

Neumayer Station III, East Antarctica.
