Abstract

The Program Manager for Non-Stockpile Chemical Material (PMNSCM) is responsible for disposing of all chemical warfare materiel (CWM) not specifically included in the U.S. unitary chemical stockpile. Included in this mission is the effective treatment and disposal of recovered chemical warfare materiel (RCWM), such as items recovered during range clearing operations and from CWM burial sites. RCWM consists of four distinct categories: chemical agent identification sets (CAIS), non-explosively configured munitions, explosively configured munitions, and bulk containers. It is anticipated that these items may be recovered at any or all of 97 locations in 38 states, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia.
