Army expert witness says Umatilla, Ore., chemical depot site was cleaned.
Byline: Mary Hopkin
Jun. 29--PORTLAND, Ore. -- An Army expert witness claimed Raytheon cleaned up the incinerator site where more than four dozen workers were injured before the Occupational Safety and Health Administration investigated the accident.
"It's my understanding OSHA officials said they had never seen such a clean site," said Dr. Leslie Hutchinson, an occupational and environmental medicine specialist.
Hutchinson was called in by the Army to help investigate the Sept. 15, 1999, accident that injured more than four dozen construction workers at the Umatilla Chemical Depot.
Monday, he testified in U.S. District Court in Portland that welding fumes and poor ventilation in the incinerator building at the Umatilla Chemical Depot caused the workers' injuries.
The workers are suing the Army, claiming they were exposed to the chemical agents stored at the depot, about 35 miles south of Kennewick.
The workers were building the incinerator plant that will be used to destroy the 3,717 tons of the nerve agents sarin and VX and the blister agent mustard when they simultaneously became ill.
