The Deseret Chemical Depot is one of seven Army installations in the U.S. that currently stores chemical weapons. The weapons originally stored at the depot consisted of various munitions and ton containers, containing GB, GA and VX nerve agents or H, HD, HT and Lewisite blister agents. All munitions containing GB and VX nerve agents have been destroyed. The Army is working in partnership with Utah state and local government agencies, as well as federal agencies like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to safeguard the local community and protect the environment as we store and dispose of these chemical weapons.
