    Chemical depot to begin destroying old Cold War weapons By JEFF BARNARD, AP/KATU 2 Portland OR
    Construction and testing of the Umatilla incinerator had problems, too. Construction workers claiming they were exposed to nerve agent while building the plant in 1999 have won the first round of their lawsuit against the Army. A federal judge ruled the government was negligent in providing emergency response when the workers became mysteriously ill.

    The Army and Washington Demilitarization Co., which built and operates the incinerator, were fined $185,000 for bypassing safety systems during furnace testing last year.
