Based on pilot-scale studies at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Superfund site near Denver, Colorado, the vendor calculated cost estimates for a full-scale B.E.S.T. unit using two separate treatment scenarios. Scenario 1 involved treating 2,840,000 yd of contaminated soil over 7 years, and scenario 2 involved treating 616,900 yd of contaminated soil over 2 years. The vendor estimated the cost of full-scale treatment would be 119 per ton for scenario 1 and 133 for scenario 2 (D15906S, p. 101). 

Three suhposts fell in 1968 under the administrative control of Edgewood Arsenal. They were Pine Bluff Arsenal, Ark Rocky Mountain Arsenal, Colo and Weldon Spring Army Chemical Plant, Mo. The first two specialized in various aspects of chemical testing, procurement, manufacture, and research, whereas the Weldon Spring facility was readied for the production of a chemical defoliant for use in Vietnam...

In the communities surrounding the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, a Superfund site in Colorado, USA, pathways for exposure to arsenic were evaluated through analysis of residence history, occupation, hobbies, dietary habits, water supply, housing, and activity patterns (Reif et al., 1993). Children of Hispanic origin or non-Caucasian children who drank less than three glasses of water daily and children who spent more time outdoors had an increased risk of having more than 10 pg/1 of arsenic in their urine (Reif et al., 1993).

Following the experiences at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal during Project Eagle, an experimental facility to test multiple destruction technologies was constructed at Tooele Army Depot in Utah as the Army began to consider destruction of obsolete unitary munitions.In 1982, after substantial internal and external review of the test results from the Tooele facility, incineration was selected for future destruction of chemical weapons. Johnston Atoll, over 800 miles south-west of the Hawaiian islands, was chosen as the site for the first full-scale incinerator facility.

Lewisite was produced in limited quantity at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal (RMA) near Commerce City, Colorado, and was stored only at the Deseret Chemical Depot, near Tooele, Utah (US Army, 1988). Arsenic is present in soil at the RMA as a consequence of lewisite manufacture, as well as from later commercial manufacture of insecticides and herbicides (Corwin el al., 1999).
