The Army Corps of Engineers announced Nov. 13 that demolition on 4825  
Glenbrook Rd. will begin the week of Nov 26.

Site preparation for investigative work is set after Dec. 19 when the  
Corps hopes demolition is completed. This work includes inspecting  
the site for arsenic trichloride, a dangerous chemical which affects  
the eyes and lungs and arsine-filled munitions, the latter of which  
they previously found three.

The Corps will begin work under a large tent, called a “containment  
structure,” in January, when they expect to find chemicals. Army  
Corps spokesmen at the meeting said that precautions have been put in  
place for the investigation. However, they have also instituted  
voluntary “shelter in place” procedures, which instructs people about  
where to take cover in case something goes wrong at the site.
