Provide the Pueblo Chemical Depot (PCD) Citizens’ Advisory

Commission (CAC) with an update on the current status of

the construction contracting and planning effort supporting

Pueblo Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant Explosive

Destruction System (PCAPP EDS) Project

Objective

EDS Phase 2

MissionTo destroy an estimated 1,366 over packed leakers, DOT cylinders,

estimated rejects and leakers, and contaminated bursters identified

by the ACWA Program in a safe and efficient manner that is

protective of human health (workers and residents) and the

environment

Overview of PCAPP EDS

Operators place

the item in the

munition holder.

Linear-shaped charges are

attached along the munition body

and the item is placed in the

munition holder (up to 6 pack).

Operators slide the

munition holder into the

vessel.

Operators remotely detonate the

linear shaped charges to access

the munition body and destroy

explosives.

Once neutralization chemicals are

added, the vessel is heated with steam

and rotated to mix the contents. A

liquid sample is collected to verify

treatment goal ( less than 50 ppm) has

been met prior to draining.

The vessel is closed and

sealed.

Next water rinse is added, steam

heated, rotated, and drained. An air

sample is collected to verify treatment

goal has been met prior to opening

door and removing scrap metal.

• Operations will be campaigned starting with over packed items and DOT cylinders,

followed by 155mm projectiles, 105 mm projectiles, and 4.2” mortars and

contaminated bursters

• A temporary closure of the PCAPP EDS site is planned between each campaign

Site Construction - Contractor

• Corps of Engineers (COE), Huntsville received approval from Small

Business Administration on 30 August 2013 to move forward with

8/(a)/Native American contractor

• The contractor, Komada LLC, based in Colorado Springs, CO, has a

strong local presence and a good relationship with state regulatory

bodies

• The design partner, Merrick & Company, based in Denver, CO, has

done chemical demilitarization work for Huntsville in the past

• Past performance ratings have been in the outstanding range
