Because the less selective ACAMS field monitors sometimes produce false alarms for certain nonagent emissions, DAAMS laboratory analyses are used to confirm or disprove ACAMS alarms and to document environmental compliance. ROLE OF THE COMMITTEE ON REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF THE ARMY CHEMICAL STOCKPILE DISPOSAL PROGRAM Concurrent with the beginning of construction of the baseline incineration facility at JACADS in 1987, the Arrny requested that the NRC review and evaluate the CSDP in order to provide advice and counsel.

, the Stockpile Committee established its general criterion for evaluating CSDP activities. This criterion is included in the first recommendation (subsequently referred to as tRC-11: "The Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program should proceed expeditiously and with technology that will minimize total risk to the public at each site" (NRC, 1994a)

· Provide recommendations that the committee believes are needed to enhance the overall Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program at the TOCDF and at other sites. In performing this assessment, the entire Stockpile Committee visited the TOCDF in March 1997 and met with TOCDF staff in Salt Lake City in February 1998 (see Table 1-2~.
