DEMILITARIZATION PROCEDURES FOR THE M256 DETECTOR KIT,
CHEMICAL AGENT NSN 6665-01-016-8399 AND M256A1 DETECTOR KIT,
CHEMICAL AGENT NSN 6665-01-133-4964
1. Before you decide to demilitarize M256A1 detector kits contact the item
manager Ms Delores Welsh at DSN 793-5871. In these times of reducing
budgets, Ms Welsh may find another unit that needs these assets. The M256
detector kits are obsolete. You may want to salvage the pads of M8 paper.
2. This procedure does not cover any item that has been contaminated with
any chemical warfare surety materiel or riot control agents. If the item
has been contaminated with agent, contact your Surety Officer for
decontamination, demilitarization and disposal guidance IAW regulations.
3. The demilitarization of this item can be accomplished in a couple of
ways. One, dispose of the kit as a whole by a hazardous waste contractor
and use the certificate of disposal / destruction as the demil
certificate; two, separate components by type and use the disposal
certificates as the demil certification of demilitarization; or, three,
function the sampler.
4. Review this demilitarization procedure with your DRMO, and
environmental office to determine the desirability of separating the
components. The decision to separate components should be based upon the
contract disposal requirements, and costs.
5. If it is determined to separate components select the appropriate open
head drums conforming to either specification MIL- D-6054 or MIL-D-6055,
labels and markings needed with the assistance of the environmental
office, DRMO, and Transportation office. Choose the smallest size
container required. In OCONUS installations, packaging must conform to
Host Country regulations. Before breaking or emptying any vial, ampoule,
or tube, personnel should wear protective gloves and avoid breathing the
chemical contents.
a. Open kit and remove the pad of M8 paper. This pad may be turned in as
excess serviceable, kept as the unit's mission requires, or demilitarized
and disposed of.
1. M8 paper is not a hazardous waste in any state.
2. There are three ways to demilitarize M8 paper. All methods are in
accordance with the Defense Demilitarization Manual, DOD 4160.21-M-1. They
are
a. Turn in to the DRMO with a Demil code "D".
b. Demilitarize locally by placing the booklets on a suitable anvil, tree
stump, or other suitable platform and then chopping the booklets of paper
in quarters with an ax. If you have a shredder, shred the paper. After the
scraps of M8 paper are generated, these scraps may be placed in a sanitary
landfill off installation.
c. If you have large quantities to demilitarize and dispose of, you may
place them in a sanitary landfill if a government agent is supervising the
burial and turns in a certificate that he observed that the items were
buried and covered with earth so that no one will find it worthwhile to
uncover and utilize for unauthorized purposes.
b. Remove samplers and place in a drum (see 5 above). Aluminum foil
covering may be thrown in trash. Throw the instruction cards in the trash.
c. Turn in empty kit-container to DRMO with a certificate of
demilitarization as follows:
"I certify that these (insert kit designation either M256 or M256A1)
Chemical Agent Detector kits NSN (insert correct NSN #) were demilitarized
in accordance with instruction from the US Army Soldier and Biological
Chemical Command. All hazardous components have been removed which
constitutes demilitarization."
Signature of authorized individual
Signature of witness (must be one level higher than authorized individual)
d. Report the drum of samplers to the DRMO as hazardous waste D001, D003,
and D009 (in the state of California, one must also report this item as
copper and zinc) and obtain from the DRMO a CLIN. Provide the following
information on a tag affixed to the container:
Number of samplers ______ Each sampler weights 17.02 grams.
Each sampler contains 2.25 mg of mercury cyanide.
Each sampler contains .16 grams of methanol.
Each sampler contains .20 grams of ligroine (a mixture of C5, C6, C7
hydrocarbons)
Each sampler contains .4 grams copper chloride for M256 or .8 grams copper
chloride for M256A1.
Each sampler contains .088 grams zinc oxide.
Alert your DRMO and hold the drum until you receive disposition
instructions from DRMO. The drum must be managed as hazardous waste. The
Proper shipping name for the samplers is Waste flammable liquids, toxic,
NOS (Methanol, Mercury cyanide, Petroleum distillates, NOS) 3, UN1992,
PGII, D001, D009, D003.
6. For samplers that have been functioned, place them in a drum. Report
the drum of samplers to the DRMO as hazardous waste D009, D003 (in the
state of California, one must also report this item as copper and zinc)
and obtain from the DRMO a CLIN. Provide the following information on a
tag affixed to the container:
Number of samplers ______ Each sampler weights 17.02 grams.
Each sampler contains 2.25 mg of mercury cyanide.
Each sampler contains .088 grams of zinc oxide.
The proper shipping name for the functioned kit is Waste Toxic, solid,
inorganic, NOS (mercury cyanide), 6.1, UN3288, PGII, D009, D003
7. If not separating components report the items to the DRMO as a
hazardous waste EPA codes D001, D003, and D009. Label the container
flammable, and poison. Hold the kits until you receive disposition
instruction form the DRMO. Proper shipping name to the DRMO for reuse is
not applicable for DOT lists this kit as excepted Quantities per paragraph
49 CFR 173.4. When being transported as hazardous waste the proper
shipping name for the kit becomes "Waste flammable liquids, toxic, NOS
(Methanol, Mercury cyanide, Petroleum distillates, NOS) 3, UN1992, PGII,
D001, D003, and D009."
Fill out a form DD1348-1 (6 copies) for each NSN being turned in. Turn-in
DD 1348-1 should show that the material is a hazardous waste (HW IN BLOCK
C), actual number of items being turned in and the EPA hazardous waste
number as indicated in the above procedure. Retain one copy of each DD
1348-1 for your records. Attach a copy of each DD 1348-1 to containers of
waste and store as instructed by your Environmental Officer. Turn in
remaining copies to your servicing DRMO. Your servicing DRMO will process
this waste for inclusion on a Hazardous Waste Disposal Contract and will
provide any additional guidance required. Your Environmental or Hazardous
Waste Officer should continually monitor the hazardous waste turn-in and
removal process to ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements.
