I used to live in Fallbrook,CA, home of the Fallbrook Naval Weapons Station. Deposited on the grounds of the station were canisters containing 33 MILLION gallons of napalm left over from the Vietnam war.

When it was finally decided to do something about disposing of it, nobody could figure out how to transport the stuff along America's highways.They didn't think the public would allow said transportation.

Finally a company came up with a plan to separate out the components ( basically vaseline,gasoline, and styrofoam ) on site, and recycle those compnents.

Unfortunately it was found that the Johnson's Kangaroo Rat,an endangered species had madehomes under the pallets of napalm canisters.It was going to cost millions of dollars to remediate their habitat so the recyclers backed out of the project.

When I moved to Idaho in '91, they still hadn't gotten rid of it, and I don,t know its disposition at this time.

Better living through chemistry.
