Blue Grass Chemical Stockpile Outreach Office
The Blue Grass Chemical Stockpile Outreach Office, located at 1000 Commercial Dr. in Richmond, Kentucky, is open and can receive visitors by appointment only. In coordination with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we continue to take precautions to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. Per a Department of Defense directive on July 28, 2021, due to substantial or high community transmission rates, all staff and visitors must wear a face mask in the office, regardless of the person’s vaccination status. To schedule an appointment, please call (859) 626-8944 or email bgoutreach@iem.com.
At the outreach office, you can learn more about the chemical weapons destruction project, including information on how the Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant (BGCAPP) is destroying the Blue Grass chemical weapons stockpile utilizing neutralization and Static Detonation Chamber units.
As part of your visit, we invite you to provide feedback on the project. In addition, visitors may view displays, watch project videos that showcase progress as well as provide information on how the weapons are being destroyed, operate miniature robots and examine models of chemical weapons. The office also maintains information about the Program Executive Office, Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives, the Blue Grass Army Depot and environmental laws and compliance.
