Kentucky Chemical Demilitarization Citizens’ Advisory Commission and the Chemical Destruction Community Advisory Board

Another key element of the destruction program is the Kentucky Chemical Demilitarization Citizens’ Advisory Commission, or CAC, and its subcommittee, the Chemical Destruction Community Advisory Board, or CDCAB. The CAC and CDCAB hold joint public meetings on a quarterly basis. These meetings provide a forum for the BGCAPP staff, government officials, ACWA leadership, members of the Commission and the public to exchange information regarding chemical weapons destruction in Kentucky.
