HERLONG -- Sierra Army Depot has until June 6 to submit information to
state officials or risk denial of its application to burn and blast
obsolete munitions.

James M. Pappas, chief of the land disposal branch of the California
Department of Toxic Substances Control, told base commander Col. Paul R.
Plemmons the depot has had ample time to provide the documents needed to
decide whether to issue a permit allowing detonation and combustion of
out-of-date ordnance in the open hills above the base.

Depot officials said Monday they expect to meet the deadline despite
extensive requirements that include revision of a 2000 draft
environmental report.
