This section provides oversight to the Blue Grass Army Depot (BGAD), Blue Grass Army Chemical Activity (BGCA) and the Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant (BGCAPP). The section has been entrusted to review, amend and approve the permit applications as well as keep stakeholders and the community informed of plant activities. It is the section's duty to ensure compliance during construction and operation of the BGCAPP as well as safe storage of the stockpile for enhanced protection of human health and the environment.
Located near Richmond, Ky., BGAD stores 2 percent of the nation's chemical weapons stockpile, comprised of nerve agents GB and VX as well as mustard agent. A portion of these weapons has been in storage on the depot since the 1940s and need to be destroyed in a safe timely manner.
