Responsibility
Mr. Jim Bacon (SES), the Program Manager for Chemical Demilitarization (PMCD), Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., is assigned responsibility for the Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program. Huntsville Center is responsible by agreement with PMCD and the Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for being the Life Cycle Project Manager for design, equipment acquisition, equipment installation, and facility construction for the chemical demilitarization facilities under construction and those yet to be awarded. The U.S. Army Operations Support Command, Rock Island, Ill., is the contracting agency.
Program Status
Incineration was selected as the baseline disposal process. Disposal operations were completed in November 2000 and closure activities have begun at the pilot facility on Johnston Atoll (JACADS) in the South Pacific. Disposal operations are successfully underway at Deseret Chemical Depot, Utah, the first of eight facilities in the continental United States. n Anniston Chemical Activity, Ala. The Army awarded a contract for construction and operation of an incineration facility in February 1996 to the Westinghouse Electric Corporation, now The Washington Group. An environmental permit application to comply with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act was approved by the Ala. Department of Environmental Management in June 1997. Construction began at that time and was completed in June 2001. n Umatilla Chemical Depot, Ore. The Army awarded a contract for construction and operation of an incineration facility in February 1997 to Raytheon Demilitarization Company, now The Washington Group. Construction began in June 1997 and was completed in August 2001. n Pine Bluff Chemical Activity, Ark. The Army awarded a contract for construction and operation of an incineration facility in July 1997 to Raytheon Demilitarization Company, now The Washington Group. After environmental permits were granted, construction began in February 1999 and is about 62% complete.
n Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., and Newport Chemical Depot, Ind.. An alternative technology for disposal has been chosen for these two sites. In December 1996, the Army recommended neutralization technology followed by secondary processing for the destruction of chemical agent stored without explosives in bulk containers. In October 1998, a contract for the Aberdeen facility was awarded to Bechtel National, Inc. In February 1999, a contract for the Newport facility was awarded to Parsons Infrastructure. Both are design-build contracts with overall progress at 45% at Aberdeen and 29% at Newport. n Pueblo Chemical Depot, Colo., and Blue Grass Chemical Activity, Ky. These two projects have been placed on hold by congressional mandate in order to study alternative technologies to destroy their stockpiles.
