Chemical Weapons Disposal: Plans for Nonstockpile Chemical Warfare Materiel Can be Improved. GAO/NSIAD-95-55

Washington, DC: GAO, 1994. Reprint Edition. quarto, 32, wraps, map, figure, table, notes, appendices The GAO reviewed "the Department of the Army's disposal program for chemical munitions, materiel, and facilities that are not specifically included in the U.S. stockpile of unitary chemical weapons. These items are referred to as nonstockpile chemical warfare materiel and consist of binary chemical weapons, miscellaneous chemical warfare materiel, recovered chemical weapons, former chemical weapon production facilities, and buried chemical warfare materiel." The GAO found that "The Army's cost and schedule estimates, and its ability to complete the nonstockpile chemical disposal program, are likely to be affected by issues similar to those experienced in the stockpile disposal program. These include actions necessary to comply with federal, state, and local laws and requirements, obtain the necessary environmental approvals and permits, and address the strong public opposition to chemical weapons incineration." Condition: very good.
