Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO: (1) reported on the extent to which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has considered the use of treatment technologies that permanently destroy or detoxify wastes at the nation's worst hazardous waste sites; and (2) identified the barriers to the increased use of such technologies and EPA efforts to overcome them. GAO found that: (1) in the first 5 years of its program to clean up hazardous waste sites, EPA selected permanent treatment technologies as remedies in 27 of the 121 targeted areas; (2) EPA did not choose these methods more often because it considered them too costly or ineffective; (3) EPA selected permanent treatment technologies more frequently each year the program operated, due to a revised cleanup policy in 1983 which encouraged more use of permanent treatments over land-based disposal options; (4) lengthy permitting procedures, which are required to ensure the safety and reliability of the new technologies, and community resistance are two of the barriers slowing EPA implementation of the permanent treatments; and (5) EPA has established a program to demonstrate and evaluate selected technologies to provide cost-effectiveness information and to enhance the development, demonstration, and commercial availability of innovative technologies as alternatives to the containment systems now in use.

Book Review of the Army Non Stockpile Chemical Materiel Disposal Program

Download or read book Review of the Army Non Stockpile Chemical Materiel Disposal Program written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-01-03 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is a review and evaluation of the U.S. Army's Report to Congress on Alternative Approaches for the Treatment and Disposal of Chemical Agent Identification Sets (CAIS). CAIS are test kits that were used to train soldiers from 1928 to 1969 in defensive responses to a chemical attack. They contain samples of chemicals that had been or might have been used by opponents as chemical warfare agents. The Army's baseline approach for treating and disposing of CAIS has been to develop a mobile treatment system, called the Rapid Response System (RRS), which can be carried by several large over-the-road trailers.

Book Systems and Technologies for the Treatment of Non Stockpile Chemical Warfare Materiel

Download or read book Systems and Technologies for the Treatment of Non Stockpile Chemical Warfare Materiel written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-08-01 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main approach adopted by the U.S. Army for destruction of all declared chemical weapon materiel (CWM) is incineration. There has been considerable public opposition to this approach, however, and the Army is developing a mix of fixed site and mobile treatment technologies to dispose of non-stockpile CWM. To assist in this effort, the Army requested NRC to review and evaluate these technologies, and to assess its plans for obtaining regulatory approval for and to involve the public in decisions about the application of those technologies. This book presents an assessment of non-stockpile treatment options and the application of these systems to the non-stockpile inventory, of regulatory and permitting issues, and of the role of the public.
