PCAPP Monthly Recap – July 2019

Published: August 6, 2019 | Category: Monthly Recap, PCAPP News

Highlights

  • Repairs and testing continued after seepage took two of three 30-day hydrolysate storage tanks out of commission in mid-May. One tank already was repaired, inspected and returned to service. The second affected tank is being cleaned in preparation for inspection and repair.
  • Static Detonation Chamber (SDC) site construction continued in July at the former site of the Explosive Destruction System. Three SDCs have been purchased to augment the main plant by destroying 4.2-inch mortar rounds and any other problematic projectiles. Concrete pouring and some electrical work are underway, and the first SDC unit is in transit to the site.
  • As of July 26, 147,726 155mm projectiles had been processed in the main plant.
  • As of July 31, PCAPP had reduced the total chemical agent stockpile in Colorado by one-third.
  • Baseline Reconfiguration of 4.2-inch boxed mortar rounds from boxed storage to pallets ready for processing continues. As of July 26, 43,595 4.2-inch mortar rounds have been reconfigured.
