Operational Environmental Assessment
Abstract
The U.S. Army Chemical Research, Development and Engineering Center (CRDEC) manages and conducts the research, development and engineering activities to provide defense against chemical and biological attack and to provide deterrent and retaliatory capability against chemical attack. In accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act, CRDEC has prepared this environmental assessment of the operations occurring at its facilities. The environmental assessment addresses the environmental impacts of the operations at CRDCEC. All operations were evaluated for possible air and water quality impacts. Each organization within CRDEC has a specialized mission, however, the same material is often used. Therefore, the environmental assessment defines the mission, then discusses the operations in terms of categories: chemical, biological, radionuclides, electromagnetic radiation, laboratory animals, munitions, explosives, and other materiel, other military chemicals, and nonmilitary/commercial chemicals. All were evaluated in terms of handling, storage and proper disposal. Sources to discharge to the environment were highlighted as a separate subject. Environmental impact; Assessment; Operations.
