Richmond, Kentucky Trace levels of mustard vapors were detected in one of the CWM munitions storage igloos during a routine weekly monitoring event at the Blue Grass Army Depot. The Army plans to conduct further investigations to identify which munition(s) in the storage igloo is leaking. Once the munition has been identified, it will be over-packed and moved to a separate storage area where it will be held until it can be properly disposed of. The Army reported that the leak does not pose a danger or risk to the general public outside of the installation.

Denver, Colorado The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court seeking a court-ordered deadline for the Army to destroy mustard agent and toxic chemicals stored at the Army's Pueblo Chemical Weapons Depot. The lawsuit states that 780,000 artillery and mortar rounds containing over 2,600 tons of mustard need to be destroyed as well as 26 containers reportedly leaking mustard. DOD was forced to scrap previous disposal plans developed due to technical and financial limitations.
