CAMP VICTORY (BIAP)
Iraq is not under the current SWA HW disposal contract. DRMS planned to utilize the AMC LOGCAP contractor to manage all facilities in Iraq. The contractor was scheduled to take over operations in Iraq in April 2004.
LSA Anacona (Balad AB) and Al Asad are the centralized collection points (CCP) and the other sites are satellite accumulation points (SAP). DRMS will provide full-time personnel to perform COR functions at the centralized collection points. The second centralized site was switched from Tallil AB to Al Asad in February It has come to DRMS attention that the Marines may want the second site at an alternate location at TQ (Camp Ridgeway) which is the most dangerous location in Iraq.
LSA Anaconda is currently operational for HW and unserviceable excess property (serviceable excess property is to be turned-in to the Army SSA). DRMS has personnel in Mosul overseeing site preparations and it should be opened in March DRMS will depart Mosul after opening and send the personnel to the CCP at Al Asad.
DRMS will not open any additional satellite accumulation points.
Hazardous waste will have to accumulate in Iraq until full or be transported to Kuwait for disposal – DRMS does not have disposal authority in Iraq, there are no approved disposal facilities in Iraq, and there is no Basel Agreement in place to ship the HW to Kuwait for disposal. CENTCOM is assisting with these issues.

• USE OF INCINERATOR AT LSA ANACONDA BEING EXPLORED
DRMS has 2 civilian and two reservist at LSA Anaconda. LSA Anaconda Site improvements were supposed to be completed by 15 Dec, but did not start until 15 Dec. DRMS was informed by the 168th Engineer Group and the 130th Engineer Battalion that the original timeframe could not be met because horizontal construction assets and concrete were diverted to higher priority projects.
DRMS sent three personnel to Mosul, Iraq in January Site improvements commenced in January 2004 but have been delayed by rain. The DRMS plan was to pull out of Mosul in April 2004 when the LOGCAP contractor or the Army takes over operations. DRMS may stay in Mosul longer than April 2004 if requested by CJTF-7 and the site at Al Asad is not opened simultaneously.
