Project Title:

Review and Assessment of Closure Plans for the Tooele Chemical Agent Disposal Facility and the Chemical Agent Munition Disposal System
PIN: DEPS-BAST-09-03        

Major Unit:

Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences

Sub Unit: Board on Army Science & Technology

RSO: Novack, Margaret

Subject/Focus Area: National Security and Defense


Project Scope
The National Research Council (NRC) will form a committee to provide two reports.  The first is an interim report assessing the following aspects of the current closure planning for Tooele Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (TOCDF) and Chemical Agent and Munitions Disposal System (CAMDS):   

Examine the current closure plans for TOCDF and CAMDS and make recommendations as required.
Recommend key parameters to assess an integrated approach to common closure requirements.
Assess planning for compliance with unique regulatory requirements of the State of Utah
towards closure of the two chemical disposal facilities.

Following the issuance of the interim Tooele Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (TOCDF) - Chemical Agent and Munitions Disposal System (CAMDS) closure report, the National Research Council will issue a comprehensive report as follows:

Update the 2002 NRC report, Closure and Johnston Atoll Chemical Agent Disposal System
Report, as required. Using the key parameters to assess an integrated approach to common
closure requirements (as recommended in the interim TOCDF-CAMDS closure report), determine
applicable lessons-learned from the closure of the Johnston Atoll Chemical Agent Disposal
System (JACADS), Aberdeen Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (ABCDF), and the ongoing closure
of the Newport Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (NECDF) for potential use during TOCDF and
CAMDS closure.

The interim report will be issued not later than six months after receipt of the contract and the comprehensive report will be issued no later than twelve months after the release of the interim report. The total contract length will be 16 months.

This Project is sponsored by the U.S. Department of the Army, with an approximate start date of August 6, 2009.

The first report will be issued in approximately 6 months. The second report will be issued at the end of the project in approximately 16 months


 
Project Duration: 16 months
