Program Costs. a. In addition to the above, additional program costs can be expected. These costs are calculated on a 7.8 year program extension for APG and NAAP, and 8.4 years for the LBAD site. Activity Estimated Costs ($000) Internal Operating Budget 80,000 Support Contracts 40,000 Emergency Response 125,000 Continued Storage 125,000 b. For Case 2, the costs reflect inflation from stopping work when the amendment is passed (October 1992) and restarting in January 1994 as well as the associated inefficiencies involved with stoppage and restart of work. In essence, therefore, the costs of delaying the three sites by 13 months for both APG and NAAP, and 21 months for LBAD, are reflected for this case.

The U.S. Army Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program was established with the goal of destroying the nation's stockpile of lethal unitary chemical weapons. Since 1990 the U.S. Army has been testing a baseline incineration technology on Johnston Island in the southern Pacific Ocean. Under the planned disposal program, this baseline technology will be imported in the mid to late 1990s to continental United States disposal facilities; construction will include eight stockpile storage sites.

In early 1992 the Committee on Alternative Chemical Demilitarization Technologies was formed by the National Research Council to investigate potential alternatives to the baseline technology. This book, the result of its investigation, addresses the use of alternative destruction technologies to replace, partly or wholly, or to be used in addition to the baseline technology. The book considers principal technologies that might be applied to the disposal program, strategies that might be used to manage the stockpile, and combinations of technologies that might be employed.
