This volume of the Technical Resource Document (TRD) for the Environmental Impact S tatement (EIS) for the Design, Construction and Operation of One or More Pilot Test Facilities for Assembled Chemical Weapons Destruction Technologies at One or More Sites (PMAC W A 2001g) pertains to the destruction of assembled chemical weapons (ACW) stored in the U.S. Army' s unitary chemical stockpile at Pine Bluff Arsenal (PBA), located outside Pine Bluff, Arkansas. This volume presents technical and process information on each of the destruction technologies applicable to treatment of the specific ACW stored at PBA. The destruction technologies described are those that have been demonstrated as part of the Assembled Chemical Weapons Assessment (ACWA) selection process . It should be noted that some options for establishing ACW A pilot-scale facilities at specific installations are highly unlikely. However, no judgment regarding the feasibility or practicality of establishing a pilot-scale facility at a specific installation is expressed in this TRD.
