From page 23...
... The National Research Council has been requested to examine and comment on the issues surrounding this initiative. The NRC will establish a committee to:  Examine the process design and procedural steps to be used for treating GA and lewisite at the Deseret Chemical Depot;  Provide an assessment of the process design which includes a new incinerator and associated pollution abatement system to be tailored to the requirements for treating the GA and lewisite;  Provide an assessment of the process design to determine the system's ability to reduce arsenic and mercury emissions to within the Maximum Achievable Controls Technology (MACT)
