Thus far 23 canisters of liquid unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine ADH have been unearthed in the area once an Ajax missile installation and later a Nike Hercules battery. The sites were closed for air defense use in the 1980s and the canisters were buried at depths of one to several feet. The first canister dated 1957 was found April 2 by a utility lineman in a ditch for a power line to the Carrolton Nike Park. Army personnel have since discovered 22 more and an Army spokesman said there may be other canisters buried at former missile sites around the county. UDH is normally destroyed by burning or neutralized with acetic acid. Pentagon and Army are aware and a nationwide warning has been issued to other former air defense missile sites.
