Does the discovery of MPA indicate a risk?
A35: The levels of MPA found in the two samples do not themselves pose a risk. Moreover, since no actual agent, munition, or container has been found, there is no anticipated risk from CWM. If CWM were processed at Nansemond, it is unlikely that any would still be free in the environment, as all CWM agents were designed to breakdown quickly to render the areas of exposure safe for follow-on military operations. Any CWM risk would be more likely associated with the presence of CWM munitions or containers that were still intact, and as pointed out above, none have been found to date. Q36: Where do you take DMM or CWM for disposal. A36: The type of material determines where it is disposed. DMM is generally rendered safe on site, the scrap will go to a disposal facility. Any hazardous material would have to go to a special facility. In the unlikely situation that CWM were found, the site would be secured immediately, and a special Technical Escort Team from Aberdeen Proving Ground would be
