This is a chemical weapons storage site located in Eastern Pueblo County, Colorado.
The Depot stores a stockpile of mustard agents for use in chemical weapons. A disposal facility is under construction that will be used to neutralize and destroy the agents in an effort to eliminate the useless stockpile.
Constructed during World War II, the Pueblo Depot Activity facility was built to serve as an ammunition and material storage and shipping center. During the late 1950s Pueblo became a major Army missile repair and maintenance facility. The facility operated at nearly full capacity during the Vietnam era.
