One of the last two sites with chemical munitions and chemical
materiel is the Pueblo Chemical Depot in Pueblo, Colorado. The
stockpile at this location consists of about 800,000 projectiles
and mortars, all of which are filled with the chemical agent
mustard. Under the direction of the Assembled Chemical Weapons
Alternative Program (ACWA), the Army has constructed the Pueblo
Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant (PCAPP) to destroy these
munitions. The primary technology to be used to destroy the mustard
agent at PCAPP is hydrolysis, resulting in a secondary waste stream
referred to as hydrolysate. PCAPP features a process that will be
used to treat the hydrolysate and the thiodiglycol - a breakdown
product of mustard - contained within. The process is a
biotreatment technology that uses what are known as immobilized
cell bioreactors. After biodegradation, the effluent flows to a
brine reduction system, producing a solidified filter cake that is
intended to be sent offsite to a permitted hazardous waste disposal
facility. Water recovered from the brine reduction system is
intended to be recycled back through the plant, thereby reducing
the amount of water that is withdrawn from groundwater. Although
biotreatment of toxic chemicals, brine reduction, and water
recovery are established technologies, never before have these
technologies been combined to treat mustard hydrolysate. At the
request of the U.S. Army, Review Criteria for Successful Treatment
of Hydrolysate at the Pueblo Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant
reviews the criteria for successfully treating the hydrolysate.
This report provides information on the composition of the
hydrolysate and describes the PCAPP processes for treating it;
discusses stakeholder concerns; reviews regulatory considerations
at the federal, state, and local levels; discusses Department of
Transportation regulations and identifies risks associated with the
offsite shipment of hydrolysate; establishes criteria for
successfully treating the hydrolysate and identifies systemization
data that should factor into the criteria and decision process for
offsite transport and disposal of the hydrolysate; and discusses
failure risks and contingency options as well as the downstream
impacts of a decision to ship hydrolysate offsite. Table of
