The Kentucky Chemical Demilitarization Citizens’ Advisory Commission (CAC) and Chemical Destruction Community Advisory Board (CDCAB) will hold a meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 6, at 1:30 p.m. in Rooms A and B on the lobby level at Eastern Kentucky University’s Carl D. Perkins Building located on Kit Carson Drive in Richmond, Kentucky.

The event is open to the public.

Chemical weapons destruction operations are complete at the Blue Grass Army Depot (BGAD) near Richmond, Kentucky. Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant managers want to keep citizens informed and receive community feedback about the closure phase and processing of agent-contaminated secondary waste.

For those who are not able to attend in person, a live video stream of the meeting will be available on the Program Executive Office, Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives (PEO ACWA) YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/user/usaeacwa and the PEO ACWA Facebook page at www.facebook.com/peoacwa. Viewers may ask questions, make comments and receive feedback during the livestream event.

The CAC, a governor-appointed commission that represents community and state interests to the U.S. Army and Department of Defense, is chaired by Craig Williams.

The CDCAB, co-chaired by Madison County Judge-Executive Reagan Taylor and CraigWilliams, is an independent subcommittee of the CAC. It is made up of a diverse group of community leaders who represent the views and concerns of the local community regarding Kentucky’s chemical weapons destruction program. 

The meeting location is wheelchair accessible. For those who might need assistance, please submit requests for alternate formats, sign language interpreters and other reasonable accommodations as soon as possible but no later than Dec. 1, 2023, to the Blue Grass Chemical Stockpile Outreach Office staff at (859) 626-8944 or bgoutreach@iem.com.
