Overview

The U.S. Army is disposing of the nation's stockpile of chemical weapons in compliance with the Chemical Weapons Convention. Two of the disposal facilities--Pueblo, CO and Blue Grass, KY--are in the design and early construction phase. When completed, these facilities will produce secondary wastes during the processing of the chemical weapons that are also considered hazardous. At the request of the U.S. Army, the NRC carried out an examination of environmental, regulatory, and permit requirements for secondary waste management at the two sites to assist the Army's review of management options. This report provides an introduction to the Army's task, a description of the two disposal processes including secondary waste generation, an assessment of applicable regulatory requirements, the status of planning for secondary waste management, a review of public participation issues, and an analysis of alternative offsite management options.
