The sarin nerve agent that leaked at the Blue Grass Army Depot on Friday should have been destroyed two months ago, under a plan approved in January.

But the agency responsible for neutralizing the agent has not even started constructing the facility for the destruction.

In January, officials approved a plan that called for the 157 gallons of GB, or sarin, stored at the depot to be drained, neutralized and removed from the facility by May.

But two months after the initial disposal deadline, the sarin is still kept in ton containers at the depot that are still leaking.
