HELP NEEDED FOR NAPALM CLEANUP

[Diane Takvorian <dtakvorian@igc.org>]

The Navy is holding a hearing on February 23, 1995, regarding 
remediation evaluation of disposal of some 34,000 napalm cannisters
located in Fallbrook, CA. Environmental Health Coalition seeks
expertise from folks that might have experience with napalm destruction.
One interesting proposal in the document is called electrochemical
oxidation. It looks like napalm could be destroyed leaving only
water, carbon dioxide and residual polystyrene as the wastestreams.
The Navy has rejected this alternative based on what appears to us
to be rather bogus cost assessments. If anyone knows about this
technology please write us at dtakvorian@igc.org.
