The Army will reveal details today of a plan to expedite destruction of stocks of the deadly nerve agent sarin at the Blue Grass Army Depot near Richmond, Ky., months after a major leak in a depot storage igloo.
The leak, discovered Aug. 27, was nearly 85 times the military's safe exposure limit for the public, according to documents from the state Department of Environmental Protection obtained by The (Louisville) Courier-Journal under the Kentucky Open Records Act.
The Army said the leak posed no health risk. Anthony Hatton, assistant director of the state's Division of Waste Management, said it had potential to be a "serious incident." The Army said it will move to quickly destroy three 1-ton containers of sarin that pose the biggest risk.
