Department of Defense Report Chemical Demilitarization Program Semi-Annual Report to Congress

Abstract

As required by law, the May 2009 Department of Defense (DoD) Chemical Demilitarization Program (CDP) Semi-Annual Report to Congress presents information describing DoD's progress toward destruction of the U.S. stockpile of lethal chemical agents and munitions by the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) deadline of April 29, 2012, and not later than December 31, 2017. This report provides the results of the review by the DoD from assessments conducted to identify options to accelerate destruction of the remaining chemical weapons stockpile, and the current path forward resulting from that review. In addition, as required by section 922 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (PL 110-417), this report provides the results from a recent assessment on on-site and off-site treatment and disposal of secondary wastes, including hydrolysates, conducted by the Program Manager, Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives (PM ACWA).
