More generally, the term "buried chemical warfare mateand the destruction of recovered non-stockpile materiel riel" refers to any CWM buried prior to January 1, 1977, that has been in storage at stockpile locations (such as at or dumped at sea prior to January 1, 1985. Any CWM disPine Bluff Arsenal, Arkansas)
