Holston Army Open Burning

Complaints have been heard and now officials at Holston Army Ammunition Plant say the plant is on track to reduce open burning of potentially hazardous waste by as much as 90%. Although the public is not allowed to burn trash, it’s been a common practice for decades at the plant.The plant says it’s conducted open-air burns of waste from the plant’s production processes behind the gates of the high-security facility since it opened in 1942.
