... The exceptions are the larger containers such as the 30-gallon and 55-gallon chemical sample drums, which may be opened using the same punch-anddrain station used to access agent in the ton containers. The ABCDF is not equipped to process the nine projectiles or mortar rounds since it will not have the demilitarization machines needed to remove energetics (the projectile mortar disassembly machine (PMD)

... Bluegrass Army Depot Chemical stockpile items stored at Bluegrass consist of mustard-filled projectiles, GB projectiles and rockets, and SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE TREATMENT OF NON-STOCKPILE CWM VX projectiles and rockets. There are only four non-stockpile chemical sample containers stored at Bluegrass: 2 HD DOT bottles 1 GB ton container 1 VX DOT bottle Regardless of the technology selected, the Bluegrass CDF will not be equipped to handle the GB ton container since there are no ton containers in the chemical stockpile at Bluegrass Army Depot.

... Chemica/ Agent Munitions Disposa/ System CAMDS, located at Deseret Chemical Depot near Tooele, Utah, is the Army's R&D facility for building and testing prototype chemical demilitarization hardware and processes. The demilitarization machines used in the stockpile chemical disposal facilities and prototypes of the incinerators, for example, were fabricated and tested at CAMDS.

... 2 VX chemical sample containers The explosively configured items are not compatible with the PBCDF since the facility will not have the demilitarization machines (the projectile mortar disassembly machine and the multipurpose demilitarization machine) that are needed to remove energetics from the projectiles and mortar rounds and to drain agent from them.

... Umatilla Chemical Depot The chemical stockpile at Umatilla consists of HD ton containers, GB bombs, projectiles, and rockets, and VX projectiles, rockets, mines, and spray tanks. There are only five non-stockpile items stored at Umatilla: 4 GB ton containers 1 VX ton container Since the Umatilla CDF is designed to process the stockpile ton containers and can monitor for GB and VX, it can process the five non-stockpile ton containers as well.
