Technology resource document for the assembled chemical weapons assessment environmental impact statement. Vol. 1 : overview of the ACWA program and appendixes A-E.
This TRD is organized as a five-volume set (Figure 1.1). The five volumes include this overview and one volume for each of the four installations that stockpile ACW. Volume 1 provides programmatic information on the technologies associated with ACW remediation. The four remaining volumes provide details regarding the application of ACWA technology systems to ACW at the four stockpile locations: Anniston Army Depot (ANAD), Pine Bluff Arsenal (PBA), Pueblo Chemical Depot (PCD), and Blue Grass Army Depot (BGAD). To adequately assess the ACWA situation at any given U.S. Army facility, Volume 1 and the volume specifically dedicated to the facility of interest should be reviewed. Section 1.2 of this volume provides an overview of the ACW unitary stockpile. The section identifies all stockpile locations, the types of munitions contained in the stockpile at each location, and the chemical agents and energetic materials in the various ACW; it also provides chemical and physical property information for these chemicals. Section 1.3 provides an overview of the DOD's process for selecting the ACWA technologies. As this section indicates, demonstration testing for the Demo I and Demo II technologies has been completed. Section 1.4 identifies and summarizes each of the primary technologies that make up the technology systems. With little or no modification, many of the technologies are interchangeable among systems. Others are stand-alone or unique technologies applicable to only one system. Finally, Section 1.5 provides a list of references that were used in preparing this volume of the TRD. Included are the PMACWA's periodic reports to Congress providing information on the progress of the ACWA program (PMACWA 1997, 1998, 1999b, 2000b, 2001c).
