Results of Trial Test Burns on Army Deactivation Furnaces Upgraded to Meet RCRA

Abstract

In 1987 the Department of Army started the process of upgrading the Ammunition Peculiar Equipment (APE) 1 2 3 4 Deactivation Furnace to meet the regulatory requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The furnace is used to dispose of class 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 munitions which are classified as hazardous waste. The upgrade has been ongoing nationwide for the past four years. This paper presents data from three trial burns which have occurred and information on the status of Part B permits for the upgraded sites.
