Procedures for handling a fresh-water immersed parachute are as follows: 1.    Contaminated fresh-water.  If the airdrop equipment has been immersed in contaminated fresh-water, rinse, dry and, if applicable, repair the item(s) using the procedures in paragraph f above. 2.    Uncontaminated fresh-water.  If airdrop equipment has been immersed in uncontaminated fresh-water, item(s) will be cleaned and dried as outlined in this paragraph.  Minor discoloration of fabric items resulting from immersion in uncontaminated fresh-water may occur.  No attempt should be made to eliminate a minor discoloration, as a slight discoloring is preferable to employing vigorous techniques that may damage fabric.
