Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement on Transportable Treatment Systems for Non-Stockpile Chemical Warfare Materiel

This Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (DPEIS) has been prepared by the Army in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, regulations of the President's Council on Environmental Quality (40 CFR 1500-1508), and Army Regulation 200-2. The Department of the Army, as Executive Agent for the DoD, is responsible for destroying that portion of the nation's chemical warfare materiel (CWM) referred to as ``non-stockpile'' CWM. This non-stockpile CWM must be destroyed in order to protect human health and safety, comply with an international treaty, and carry out the requirements of the U.S. Congress. Non-stockpile CWM covered under this DPEIS includes: (1) Munitions containing chemical agent or industrial chemicals, (2) chemical agents or industrial chemicals contained in other than munitions configurations, and (3) chemical agent identification set items containing small quantities of pure or diluted agent used for training purposes.
