Appendix B
ANCDF Campaign Schedule Options
Table B-1 (p. 50) shows the order and duration (in
days) for each planned disposal campaign at the
Anniston Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (ANCDF)
for all of the munitions stored at Anniston Army Depot
according to four schedules. This table was developed
by Science Applications International Corporation
(SAIC), an Army contractor. The first schedule is the
original plan proposed for ANCDF before the presence
of gelled GB rockets at Anniston was discovered. The
second schedule retains the original order of disposal
campaigns and changeovers but assumes a processing
~ A, A, ~
rate of 9.2 gelled GB M55 rockets per hour.
Schedules three and four are variations of the
49
ANCDF modified plan. These schedules provide for
coprocessing or complementary processing of other
munitions while gelled GB M55 rockets are processed.
The modified plan also has fewer changeover periods
since all the GB is processed before munitions or con-
tainers of VX nerve agent or mustard agent are pro-
cessed. The first schedule under the modified plan pro-
vides for a processing rate of 9.2 gelled GB rockets per
hour, whereas the second schedule indicates the num-
ber of days necessary for each campaign if processing
of the gelled GB rockets at Anniston is restricted to the
permitted rate of 1.6 rockets per hour that was used at
TOCDF.
