Depot clean-up delay frustrates congressmen

Reports that it will take the Army at least another year to make a decision
on how to destroy the mustard gas weapons stored at the Pueblo Chemical
Depot were greeted with some frustration by Colorado's congressional
delegation Monday.

"There was no way around having to do a (National Environmental Protection
Act) review, but the military could have started this process before now,"
said Josh Penry, a spokesman for U.S. Rep. Scott McInnis, R-Colo. "Everyone
is frustrated that this decision is taking so long." 

Defense Department officials notified local officials last week that they
would conduct a NEPA review this year of the alternative technologies -
including incineration - that could be used to destroy the mustard gas
weapons stored at the depot.
