I knew the chemist out there. Here are some of the chemicals that were dumped.

Al aluminum AP ammonium perchlorate CMDB composite-modified double base CTPB carboxyl-terminated polybutadiene HMX tetramethylene tetranitramine HTPB hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene

I don't know about other projects but the rocket fuels alone were bad enough.

Yup, all those chemicals are rocket fuels, oxidizers, binders, etc. That is, except for the HMX, which is an extremely brissive high explosive that's used to implode the plutonium core to create critical mass in a nuke. (That's strange, what the heck were they doing with that stuff?)

It's the so-called "pharmaceutical chemicals and pesticides" and what I've heard about them, that would have me concerned. If you still have contact with your chemist friend, you might try this; ask him about the security clearances required at those other projects. If they very high (top secret + EBI), then that would tend to confirm what I've heard about them. Avoid the temptation to ask him straight out about what you really want to know.
