Hi Cathy,
Thank you for your comment and question. I agree 100%, there needs to be
much
more analysis here especially health analysis in the form of an EIS on
adverse health
effects that could be caused by burning.
Could you give me some details about the nerve gas find in 1997?

As you so correctly mentioned records regarding the weapons are not so
easily
attainable.

Thanks,
Vienna Merritt Moore

       Has there been adequate analysis of actual content of munitions
that
       are
       to be burned? In example, the dumping of highly toxic weapons
occurs
       on
       most military bases, unfortunately records of this are not always

       possible to obtain. Nerve gas was discovered buried on Fort Ord
in
       1997.
       If other nerve gas dumping occured and is exposed to heat and
burned
       in
       the proposed open air fire won't the community exposure risk take
on
       new
       dimensions? This is most llikely not a simple case of burning a
bullet.
