EPA Approves Closure of Chemical Weapons Facility
EPA noti?ed the U.S. Army Chemical
Materials Agency (CMA) in September
that it accepts the closure of the John-
ston Atoll Chemical Agent Disposal Sys-
tem (JACADS) and Red Hat Storage Area
Facility as a clean closure.
Located on an atoll 800-mi southwest
of Hawaii, JACADS was the ?rst facility of
its kind, representing a major advance-
ment in chemical weapons destruction
technology and processes. Through its
legacy companies, URS Corp. has been
cooperating with the CMA and EPA
for more than 30 years to design, con-
struct, operate and decommission this
ground-breaking facility.
Between 1986 and 2000, a team of
more than 550 URS employees safely
destroyed 412,798 chemical munitions
?lled with HD (mustard), VX (nerve
agent) and GB (Sarin) agents. URS was
the ?rst company to destroy each type
of chemical agent.
Since 2000, CMA, EPA, and URS have
been working together to close the facil-
ity according to speci?ed environmen-
tal standards. Closure activities initially
involved cleaning and removing all haz-
ardous wastes, equipment and systems
used for agent disposal operations.
More than 2,700 environmental
samples were collected and analyzed
to document the absence of chemical
agents and assess the types and levels of
other chemicals remaining at the site;
additionally, approximately 12,000-T
of metals-contaminated coral were re-
moved to ensure the site would be pro-
tective of wildlife.
EPAs recent announcement certi?es
that these efforts have met the strin-
gent environmental requirements and
assures the future of the former facility
site as part of a federal bird refuge and
the Paci?c Remote Islands National
Marine Monument. JACADS designa-
tion as clean gives it the honor of be-
ing the ?rst clean close of a chemical
weapons incineration facility in CMAs
history.
