UMCDF employees take the ‘challenge’
For the past couple of weeks, employees at the Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (UMCDF) have been participating in the annual Employee-Led Team (ELT) Challenge.
The event is held two days a week over a four week period. It will end on Wednesday, May 11. The Challenge was created a few years ago by the site’s employee-led environmental team. It has since expanded to include all three ELTs on site — the environmental, safety and toxic area teams.

Saturday, April 16, the Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (UMCDF) began use of the Rinsate Collection System (RCS), an improved process that allows for more efficient use of facility incinerators for the destruction of the Umatilla stockpile of HD mustard agent.
“We are one step closer to fulfilling our Chemical Weapons Convention Treaty obligations well ahead of the April 2012 deadline,” said Gary Anderson, site project manager for the UMCDF. “The successful implementation of this unique system is the result of outstanding efforts on the part of our design, installation and operations teams.”

Weekly Update Umatilla Chemical Depot, 14 April 2011
Umatilla Chemical Depot employees made history Tuesday when they participated in the Annual Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program Exercise. Because of progress on the disposal of HD mustard ton containers at the Umatilla Chemical Disposal Facility , this is likely to be the last annual exercise held at the depot.
This is after 20 years of planning and participating in the annual exercise. These exercises were held annually to prepare the depot and surrounding communities in case of a chemical incident.
“Once again Team Umatilla demonstrated their ability to safely and aggressively respond to a chemical event,” said Lt. Col. Kris Perkins, depot commander. “This is a testament to their training and their dedication to ensuring the work force, the community and the environment are protected. I am very proud of what they accomplished today and we will continue to focus on safety until our mission at UMCD is complete.”
