The results of a Dec. 5 – 6 inspection by the Organization For The Prohibition Of Chemical Weapons and completion of all Treaty verification activities confirmed that no chemical weapons remain in storage at the Umatilla Chemical Depot and that the stockpile has been destroyed.
This inspection and preliminary findings report closes the facility as a Chemical Weapons Convention storage and demilitarization site well in advance of the April, 2012 International Treaty deadline.
Lieutenant Colonel Kris N. Perkins, U.S. Army Commander of the installation said, “This is another significant milestone achieved assuring the safety of future generations. This achievement is a direct result of dedication to the safe completion of this project by Team Umatilla Government and Contract employees and UMCD’s community partners”.
