Nearly 50 years of chemical agent storage came to an end today with the destruction of the last ton container of mustard blister agent in the Metal Parts Furnace at the Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility.
“Today, the employees of the UMCDF made their mark on history by completing agent destruction operations,” said Gary Anderson, UMCDF Site Project Manager. “More than 1,000 dedicated Army and contractor employees have made Oregon safer for its citizens. Additionally, their efforts successfully achieved the Chemical Weapons Convention Mandate to destroy the Depot’s chemical weapons by April 2012. Congratulations on jobs well done.”
