Cancel the planned open burning of M6 artillery propellant at Camp Minden in North Louisiana. It's a matter of public health and safety!
Without sufficient testing of its own, and even in light of Canadian regulations prohibiting the open burning of M6, the EPA has authorized a special exemption (waiver) to allow the open burning of 15+ million pounds of M6 at Camp Minden in North Louisiana.
M6 contains multiple chemicals which are highly explosive, carcinogenic, neurotoxic, and/or endocrine disruptive. Also, open burning (compared to closed incineration or recycling methods) cannot guarantee complete destruction of the chemicals, nor prevent environmental exposure to or bioaccumulation of them. The open burn of M6 is an unprecedented, reckless option for remediation at Camp Minden!
