2. Provide the Pueblo Chemical Depot (PCD) Citizens’ Advisory
Commission (CAC) with an update on the current status of
the construction contracting and planning effort supporting
Pueblo Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant Explosive
Destruction System (PCAPP EDS) Project
Objective

3. EDS Phase 2
Mission
To destroy an estimated 1,366 over packed leakers, DOT cylinders,
estimated rejects and leakers, and contaminated bursters identified
by the ACWA Program in a safe and efficient manner that is
protective of human health (workers and residents) and the
environment
Overview of PCAPP EDS

4. Operators place
the item in the
munition holder.
Linear-shaped charges are
attached along the munition body
and the item is placed in the
munition holder (up to 6 pack).
Operators slide the
munition holder into the
vessel.
Operators remotely detonate the
linear shaped charges to access
the munition body and destroy
explosives.
Once neutralization chemicals are
added, the vessel is heated with steam
and rotated to mix the contents. A
liquid sample is collected to verify
treatment goal ( less than 50 ppm) has
been met prior to draining.
The vessel is closed and
sealed.
Next water rinse is added, steam
heated, rotated, and drained. An air
sample is collected to verify treatment
goal has been met prior to opening
door and removing scrap metal.
