This committee authored two reports, one on the Pueblo Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant (PCAPP) and one on the Blue Grass Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant (BGCAPP). The committee held three meetings while drafting the PCAPP report. Since those meetings have no bearing on the drafting of this BGCAPP report, the PCAPP-related meetings and activities are not listed in this appendix. They are listed in Appendix D of the PCAPP report, Review Criteria for Successful Treatment of Hydrolysate at the Pueblo Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant. This listing includes only meetings and activities related to the development of this BGCAPP report, and the meeting count begins with the fourth meeting.
