Appendix A
Tables Illustrative of a Variety of Non-Stockpile Items

Tables A-1 through A-4, reprinted from an earlier report (NRC, 2005), show inventories of non-stockpile items that have been stored at various military sites for eventual treatment and disposal. The tables are reproduced here to illustrate the variety of non-stockpile items that exist and that could be encountered during future recovery operations at non-stockpile burial sites.
