Chemical weapons are held in Umatilla, Oregon and Tooella (sp?), Utah.
In both places the US Army are going to use incinerators to "dispose" of
them. I believe the Utah incinerator is on-line, and exposing about
600,000 Utahns to risk. The Tooella incinerator is 40 miles west of Salt
Lake City. Just west of the city is a magnesium plant that puts out more
tons of particulate material each year than all the industries in
California (130 million tons to 99 million tons). The Umatilla
incinerator is still in the planning stages (I am not up to date on the
political discussion there). The Umatilla depot is about 30 miles west
of Pendleton (60-70K population) and 100 miles east of Portland, Oregon.
Both incinerators are based on a Philippines plant design that has been
questioned.
