United States:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Environmental Monitors Approve Johnston Atoll ClosingFrom Monday, September 9, 2002 issue.
The U.S. Army is set to close the chemical weapons disposal facility on Johnston Atoll in the Pacific Ocean, the Chicago Tribune reported yesterday.
On Friday the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved a closing plan that addresses health and environmental risks such as cleanup methods and waste treatment, according to the Tribune (see GSN, Sept. 3). The army finished destroying all of the chemical weapons at the facility — more than 4 million pounds — in 2000 (Chicago Tribune, Sept. 8).
