alternatives to OB/OD it was our hope that this would stimulate further

If you believe that the Donovan Blast Chamber is the solution to OB/OD,
I'm not sure you understand the problem.

I read with great dismay Grace's e-mail. I would hope that her fears do not
come to pass and understand why she would feel such threats. The military
has it's own laws and it is well known 'they protect their own': Standing
behind Huntsville for methodologies that are outdated or banning a RAB (Ft.
Ord). We have a project manager for Clark County who worked tirelessly on
the Camp Bonneville project who 'suddenly' was taken off the project. She
was quite 'outspoken' due to her knowledge of all documentation from the
Army and County's viewpoints. There is nothing wrong with protecting your
own when it's fair and equitable and there is 'nothing' to hide or protect.

OB/OD needs to stop! It is a cheap, quick fix for the military in terms of
disposing of ordnances but it is not healthy for the nation it is here to
serve and protect. Those who are fighting to have this outdated method
banned should not have to live in fear because they oppose it. The Donovan
Blast Chamber was created just for this. If anyone knows of other safe
methods I would like to hear about them.

I hope the day comes when all entities that work on these BRAC/FUDS can sit
at a table with equal 'power' and resolve the issues that surround these
sites with one goal in mind: the health and safety of the public and the
environment.
