No provisions ,ex•i std for final disposal of these chemicals, which must be considered~hazardous~waste after they are no longer held as evidence or confiscated •property:° The city of Fort Worth must provide for the safe transport, storage, and lawful disposal of these described chemicals. At present, the Fire Department has nogequipment designed for the safe transportation of chemicals.
