| The Department of Defense (DOD), through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), has a policy for disposing of government equipment and supplies considered "surplus" or deemed unnecessary to the agency's currently designated mission. The effort to dispose of surplus military equipment dates back to the end of World War II, when the federal government decided to reduce a massive inventory of surplus military equipment by making such equipment available to civilians. ... |

| The U.S. Armed Forces disposed of chemical weapons in the ocean from World War I through 1970. At that time, it was thought that the vastness of ocean waters would absorb chemical agents that may leak from these weapons. However, public concerns about human health and environmental risks, and the economic effects of potential damage to marine resources, led to a statutory prohibition on the disposal of chemical weapons in ... |

| Open burn-open detonation rocket motor disposal explosions conducted at the Utah Test and Training Range of Hill Air Force Base are delayed until proper weather conditions are present. These nominal conditions are an eastward- directed sound velocity versus height gradient that refracts airblast upward, away from the ground. Such weather conditions generally attenuate airblasts propagated at ground level, cause minimal disturbance to their neighborhoods, and are usually acceptable to explosion ... |

| The armaments industry generates approximately 1600 tons per year of hazardous waste containing explosives and propellants. By far, the most common disposal method for this hazardous waste is open burning/open detonation (OB/OD) . Unfortunately, OB/OD has the potential to create environmental problems due to uncontrolled emission of by-products. Incineration is currently the most mature and well-characterized alternative disposal technology. In the event that OB/OD is curtailed ... |
