UMATILLA CHEMICAL DEPOT, Hermiston, Ore. – The last GB (sarin) munitions stored at the Umatilla Chemical Depot were safely transported today to the Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (UMCDF) for final destruction. The final load was comprised of 155mm artillery projectiles. It was the 4,815th Enhanced On-Site Container (EONC) delivery of the GB campaign that started in September 2004. The campaign will officially conclude when all the projectiles now in the disposal plant are processed through the Metal Parts Furnace. The final munition is expected to be destroyed at the plant within about a week.


Now there are no more stockpiles of GB agent west of the Mississippi .


just thought you would like to know that we are destroying some nasty stuff out here at the Umatilla Chemical Depot:thumbup:

And, thus far, it has been done in utter safety. I have full confidence that the last batch will conclude with a perfect safety record. Congratulations.
