Road Trip: The United States Army Pueblo Chemical Depot, Colorado

The U.S. Army Pueblo Chemical Depot (PCD) located near Pueblo, Colo., is one of nine Army installations in the United States and currently store chemical weapons. PCD stores a stockpile of chemical weapons comprising seven percent of the nation's original chemical materiel stockpile.

Since 1942, the depot’s missions have shifted and expanded, and today the depot’s mission is to ensure the safe, secure storage of the chemical weapons stockpile. Encompassing approximately 23,000 acres, PCD reports to the U.S. Army Chemical Materials Activity (CMA).

The safety of workers, the public and the environment are paramount to the success of the chemical weapons disposal mission. The U.S. Army Chemical Materials Activity (CMA) oversees the secure storage of chemical munitions to ensure that they are safe.

PCD and PCAPP work closely with the Colorado Chemical Demilitarization Citizens' Advisory Commission, which serves as a forum for exchanging information about the project, offers opportunities for the public to get involved and represents community and state interests to the Army and Department of Defense.

I admire your patience. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be very good at it. :)

Evening Luvvy, hope all is well with you!

Me, I'm off for the next couple of days and we're going to hit triple digits again.

But, I'm getting used to W. Texas weather.

You make an excellent point. d:o)

My day was long and busy, and I brought some work home. Shouldn’t take too long.

Lots of stuff to get done. Thursday I get my second cataract surgery done, so I’ll take Thursday and Friday off.

Howdy, PRO!! ((((hugs)))

All is well...just still hot. I’ve been living in the desert for almost 40 years, and I’m STILL not used to it! LOL! I whine and complain every summer when it reaches triple digits! :)

Enjoy your days off! Are you stilll working at the same job?

It has to be the hardest thing to do!

Yay! Glad your wireless is back. THAT is hard, too! We are SO connected/addicted!

Don’t do too much homework. You need Kathy-time! :)

My day was long and busy, and I brought some work home.

I know what you mean.

I had to stop doing that many years ago.

My time at home now is stricly for family, with the exception of interludes with my Free Republic family.

I pray that your life becomes less busy, and that your surgery goes well.

I should be done in about 15 minutes, and Mom is close to bed, so then it’s ME time! Time to read some news and finish my thread.
