Safety key word in plan for disposing bioweapons at Fort Detrick
Details of a DoD plan for on site disposal of offensive biological and toxin stockpiles at Fort Detrick and other sites outline a four month process with 12 workers and a 600000 dollar cost. Col. Lucien T. Winegar and officials insist materials are non pathogenic after rendering inactive and will be released into the Monocacy River under safe protocols. The plan, announced to Frederick residents, is part of a broader 12.2 million program running through 1971 with on site sterilizations at Pine Bluff, Rocky Mountain Arsenal, and Beale AFB, and includes city water board oversight and environmental approvals.
