>Background

>    The Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, 
>Stockpiling, and Use of the Chemical Weapons and on Their Destruction, 
>or Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), requires the destruction of all

[SNIP]

>    Buried CWM can be dated back to World War I. The practice of 
>burying leaking or obsolete CWM in the past was an acceptable method of 
>disposal. Often burial was accompanied by draining and decontamination. 
>Therefore, the CWM is responsible for destroying all other CWM (called 
>non-stockpile) within the United States and its territories.
