U.S. Army chemical demilitarization and remediation activity non-stockpile monitoring approach
- and others
In Section 176 of Public Law (PL) 102-484, the 1993 Defense Authorization Act, Congress directed the U.S. Army to submit a report identifying the locations, types, and quantities of non-stockpile chemical material (NSCM). As part of that report, published in the Survey and Analysis Report for the Non-Stockpile Chemical Material Program, five categories of NSCM were addressed: buried chemical warfare material (CWM); recovered chemical weapons- and miscellaneous CWM. To better define the scope of CWM burial sites, four separate types of sites were discussed-chemical agent identification set (CAIS) burials, small CWM burial sites with no explosives, small CWM burial sites with explosives, and large CWM burial sites (with and without explosives). A total of 215 potential CWM burial sites, distributed throughout 33 states, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia, were identified. This article describes the rapid response system; CAIS characterization and disposal; monitoring during RRS operations; monitoring standards, and the non-stockpile monitoring program.
