A bill to limit the authority of the Secretary of the Army to provide for the incineration of lethal chemical agents at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.

Summary

Prohibits the Secretary of the Army from soliciting a bid or proposal for the construction of an incinerator of lethal chemical agents at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, until: (1) the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency has monitored the incineration of mustard gas on Johnston Island in the Pacific Ocean continuously for a period sufficient to evaluate whether the emissions from such incineration meet applicable environmental standards and determines that the Aberdeen emissions meet such standards; and (2) the National Academy of Sciences has issued its report on alternative chemical demilitarization technologies that states that there is no viable alternative to incineration as a technology for disposing of lethal chemical agents. Directs the Secretary to terminate the development of the Aberdeen incinerator if such conditions are not met.
