This book was released on 2000 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1985, the Congress required the Department of Defense to carry out the destruction of the U.S. stockpile of chemical agents and munitions and establish an organization within the Army to manage the disposal program. Over time, the Congress also directed the Department of Defense to dispose of chemical warfare materiel not included in the stockpile and to research and develop technological alternatives for disposing of chemical agents and munitions. Under the United Nations-sponsored Chemical Weapons Convention ratified by the U.S. Senate in 1997, the Department of Defense agreed to dispose of its 31,496-ton stockpile of chemical weapons stored throughout the United States and its territories. The convention requires that the chemical stockpile and chemical warfare materiel, such as recovered chemical weapons and training sets, be destroyed by April 29, 2007. The Department of Defense has spent approximately $6.2 billion and estimates that it will spend another $8.7 billion on its disposal efforts under the Chemical Demilitarization Program.
Book Synopsis Chemical Weapons Destruction and Explosive Waste by : Robert Noyes
Download or read book Chemical Weapons Destruction and Explosive Waste written by Robert Noyes and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1996-12-31 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the more difficult environmental problems facing the Department of Defense (DOD) include (1) chemical weapons destruction, (2) explosive waste remediation, and (3) unexploded ordnance clearance and extraction. It is conceivable that $50 to $100 billion will be spent by DOD for these three programs, offering unusual opportunities for environmental engineering and related firms. Military installations are similar to small cities in terms of population, industrial activities, and some types of contaminated sites. However, some cover an area larger than a small state. DOD has operated industrial facilities on its installations for several decades that have generated, stored, recycled, or disposed of hazardous wastes. Many of these activities have contaminated the nearby soil and groundwater. To study and clean up contaminated sites, DOD established the Installation Restoration Program (IRP) in 1975. In 1984, the IRP was made part of the Defense Environmental Restoration Program. The Secretary of Defense delegated cleanup responsibility to the Army, Navy, the Air Force, and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Cleanup actions are usually accomplished under contract with private firms, which are monitored by the services. Most cleanup actions are funded through the Defense Environmental Restoration Account (DERA) and the Base Realignment and Closure Account. Congress established DERA in 1984 to fund the cleanup of inactive contaminated sites on DOD installations. The technology to clean up the conventional hazardous wastes on DOD sites are the same as those utilized for industrial sites, and well-documented by this publisher. However, there are three DOD programs that require the utilization of somewhat unusual or different technologies that have not been as well documented. These three programs are: 1. Chemical weapons destruction 2. Remediation of explosives contaminated soils and lagoons 3. Unexploded ordnance detection, clearance, and extraction This book discusses the current and potential treatment technologies involved in these three programs.
Book Synopsis Chemical Weapons Disposal by : David R. Warren
Download or read book Chemical Weapons Disposal written by David R. Warren and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DoD's program to destroy chemical weapons has been controversial from its inception and has experienced delays, cost increases, and mgmt. weaknesses. Concerns over the financial mgmt. of the program surfaced following a review by the DoD Comptroller, which suggested that significant portions of prior years' approp. remained unliquidated. This report discusses the mgmt. of the program -- whether (1) it will meet the Chem. Weapons Convention's time frames within the costs projected, (2) obligations and liquidation of funds approp. for the program have been adequately managed, and (3) the mgmt. structure of the program allows for coordinated account.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Dec. 1993, DoD announced the Defense Counterprolif. Initiative (DCI) in response to the growing threat posed by the proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) weapons. The DCI calls for the develop. of offensive and defensive capabilities to prevail over an adversary that threatens or uses such weapons. This report describes DoD's actions to make the NBC threat a matter of routine consideration within its org., activities, and functions. Examines the actions of the Interagency Counterprolif. Prog. Rev. Comm. to coordinate the R&D prog. of DoD, DoE, and the intelligence community to identify and eliminate unnecessary duplication. Charts and tables.
Book Synopsis Packaging and Transportation Issues Relating to the Destruction of the United States Chemical Weapons Stockpile by : Lewis S. Roach
Download or read book Packaging and Transportation Issues Relating to the Destruction of the United States Chemical Weapons Stockpile written by Lewis S. Roach and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses an ongoing problem facing the U.S. Army as Executive Agent for the Department of Defense (DoD) in the program to destroy chemical weapons in accordance with United States law and international agreement. The current planning approach since the late 1980s has been the construction of incinerator plants at all eight CONUS sites where the chemical weapons are stored and destroy them in place. Public opposition to both the incineration technology and the on-site destruction approach has impacted the program. The potential for program interruption has increased to the point that serious thought should be given to transporting a portion of the chemical weapon stockpile to centralized disposal locations. Although relocation may not offer increased public safety, given the high safety expectations of the current course of action, political acceptance of the overall program is essential to realize program objectives. This paper details the chemical weapons destruction problem. It concludes with an outline of the recommended planning needed to conduct a successful transportation campaign.

Download or read book Chemical Weapons Disposal written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed the Department of Defense's (DOD) management of the Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program, focusing on: (1) DOD cost, schedule, and performance; (2) emergency preparedness of communities near the stockpile; and (3) alternative disposal technologies. GAO noted that: (1) the Army's cost estimate to destroy the chemical weapons stockpile has increased from $1.7 billion to $11.9 billion, and the planned completion date has been extended from 1994 to 2004; (2) DOD has taken steps to improve its management of the disposal program, such as designating the program as a major acquisition to improve cost and schedule controls and reassessing the stability of chemical weapons; (3) two of nine planned incinerators have been built, but only one incinerator is operational; (4) about $2 billion has been spent on the program, but only 2 percent of the stockpile has been destroyed; (5) the Army plans to issue a revised cost estimate and disposal schedule in December 1995, since added program requirements, public opposition, and technical problems put the program at risk for further cost growth and schedule slippage; (6) although storing the M-55 rocket poses a large safety risk, the Army cannot predict the safe storage life of the rocket; (7) although the Army has spent over $300 million on the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program, communities near storage sites are not prepared to respond to a chemical emergency; and (8) alternatives to the baseline incineration process include neutralization and biodegradation, but this technology will not be ready by 2004.
Book Synopsis Chemical Demilitarization by : Albert J. Mauroni
Download or read book Chemical Demilitarization written by Albert J. Mauroni and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-04-30 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 15 years, the Army's chemical demilitarization program has been criticized and castigated as a potentially dangerous effort, poorly executed without concern for the public. By reviewing the chemical demilitarization program as a public policy area, Mauroni offers a different perspective on how the Army worked with Congress and the public to offer the safest program possible. The Army was forced to delay its own schedule and increase the breadth and depth of the program to address political demands and idealistic environmental concerns. Mauroni contends that Army and Department of Defense leadership's insistence on treating this program as a strictly technical effort, rather than as a public policy concern is in part responsible for the public's misunderstanding of the Army's execution of the program. Despite its challenges, the Army is well on its way to accomplishing its goal of destroying the U.S. chemical weapons stockpile with no impact on the public or environment. They have stumbled through, however, rather than planned their exit. According to Mauroni, the Army needs to examine this program carefully to identify how to address public policy questions better in the future, to include responding to chemical and biological terrorism, developing a biological warfare vaccine program, and addressing future Gulf War illness questions. Their failure to learn will otherwise result in a continued inability to address critical questions on how they respond to chemical and biological warfare issues.
