Deseret. The incineration facility at Tooele provides a technically feasible alternative for destruction of 157 of the 174 non-stockpile items stored at Deseret. The other 17 items contain lewisite and are better suited for destruction at the Chemical Agent Munitions Disposal System (CAMDS). The Tooele CDF is scheduled to complete its stockpile mission in the fourth quarter of 2003, so it would be available to treat the non-stockpile items. Existing permits would need to be modified and the public would need to agree. [Pg.40]

In 1996, persuaded by the public opposition in Lexington, Kentucky, and Pueblo, Colorado, Congress enacted Public Law 104-201, which instructed the Department of Defense (DoD) to conduct an assessment of the chemical demilitarization program for destruction of assembled chemical munitions and of the alternative demilitarization technologies and processes (other than incineration) that could be used for the destruction of the lethal chemical agents that are associated with these munitions. The Army established a... [Pg.8]

Recommendation 3-1. The Chemical Materials Agency should develop improved analytical techniques for heterogeneous, porous, and permeable materials. Better analytical techniques could enable more exact quantification of agent contamination to meet off-site shipping criteria and help reduce waste remaining on-site at the end of munitions destruction operations. [Pg.22]

The U.S. Army s chemical agent disposal facilities, like many industrial facilities, produce wastes in the course of plant operations. For the purposes of this report, secondary waste is defined as any waste associated with the storage or destruction of chemical agent. Like other industrial waste, these wastes are either hazardous or nonhazardous. A particular waste is classified into one or the other of these categories by either laboratory analysis or generator knowledge of material source, use, and exposure (Box 1-1). The wastes discussed in this report are called secondary wastes to distinguish them from the chemical munitions that are... [Pg.29]

The generation, accumulation, treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes are regulated under RCRA and the Hazardous Solid Waste Amendments of 1984. Wastes derived from the management and destruction of chemical agents and munitions, i.e., secondary wastes, must be assessed under this authority and, if determined to be hazardous, must be managed under it. [Pg.34]

At baseline incineration facilities, CMA has conducted separate campaigns to dispose of each chemical agent and munition type because of monitoring and processing constraints. This approach is reflected in the provisions of the site-specific RCRA permits. In all cases, trial burns have been conducted for each agent destruction campaign at each chemical agent disposal facility. [Pg.46]

Spent activated carbon is generated and is accumulating at each of the five chemical agent disposal facilities. It represents one of the largest secondary waste streams currently projected to remain in storage at the end of munitions destruction operations. [Pg.64]

By March 2003, OPCW inspectors had verified the destruction of approximately 7,305 tonnes of chemical agents and approximately 2 million munitions. India and the Republic of Korea are expected to meet the CWC 10-year CW destruction deadline. However, by that time, some semi-official US sources had suggested that the United States might have difficulty in meeting the 10-year timeline (see section 7). [Pg.69]
