... Some examples are listed below: · demilitarization protective ensemble suits and breathing air hoses used by workers doing maintenance in plant areas subject to agent contamination · activated carbon and other filter materials used to control emissions waste materials (e.g., particles, sludges, and fluids) removed from process lines, filters, and strainers during maintenance operations plant equipment operations (e.g., small parts, liners, etc.)

... Off-site shipment of nonprocess wastes from the ABCDF and NECDF may present an even more complex problem because of the diversity of physical waste forms, a known history of agent contact for some wastes, and the Army's inability to demonstrate definitively that the waste stream is truly free of agent. If the traditional headspace analysis used to establish 3X conditions is not sufficient to release materials from Army control, nonincineration methods for the complete decontamination of nonprocess wastes and analytical methods for verifying that materials are free of agent will be necessary.
