Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility weekly project update - August 25, 2011

Disposal facility gets OK to run Liquid Incinerators at 100% feed rates

The Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (UMCDF) has received approval from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to increase the Liquid Incinerator processing rate from 75 percent to 100 percent of the feed rate demonstrated during the mustard agent trial burn and comprehensive performance test.

This approval follows a prior regulatory acceptance of the agent trial burn report of July 5, 2011, confirming the testing and results were in compliance with the applicable standards and permit conditions. UMCDF is now authorized to commence hazardous waste feed based on the rates demonstrated during the agent trial burn for agent and spent decontamination solution.
