The Legislature finds that the sense of the Anniston community is that the continued storage of the Army's chemical stockpile at the Anniston Army Depot poses a risk that the community wants eliminated in a safe and efficient manner. The current Army disposal plan poses a much lower risk to the community than does the continued storage, stated by the National Research Council (NCR) in its 1994 study, but the community desires to ensure that no other chemical stockpile problems be added to the Army's disposal plan.
