- The project is a Hazardous Waste Facility Permit modification to allow NAWS China Lake to treat up to 5,475,000 pounds per year, or 15,000 pounds per event, of reactive hazardous waste by open burn or open detonation. The hazardous waste consists of military munitions or research laboratory waste containing or contaminated with explosives, propellants, or pyrotechnics. The waste is generated during research, development, test, and evaluation activities, or is obsolete and potentially unstable munition items. Treatment is by burning the waste in a steel pan using diesel or wood to facilitate combustion, or detonating the waste on the ground surface using bulk explosives to initiate the detonation.
