"The first shipments of chemical waste from deadly VX nerve agent being destroyed in Indiana arrived at a Port Arthur, Texas, plant on Tuesday, hours before two activist groups called on the Army to immediately halt further shipments.
Four tractor-trailers pulled into Veolia Environmental Services' plant about 12:40 a.m. Tuesday, each loaded with a reinforced tank filled with about 4,000 gallons of VX hydrolysate, said Daniel J. Duncan, Veolia's environmental health and safety manager.
That convoy left western Indiana's Newport Chemical Depot early Monday for the nearly 1,000-mile journey to Port Arthur as part of a $49 million contract Veolia recently signed with the Army to incinerate about 2 million gallons of the chemical waste."
