These munitions contain small amounts of explosives. The CDC is a proven technology that has been used for more than two decades in more than 1 million successful detonations. A similar destruction operation occurred at Spring Valley in May 2003. Public affairs supported three separate tours on the federal property on Jan. 6, 2011.
Presenters were Todd Beckwith, project manager, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Baltimore District and Adam Baker, project manager, Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC).
