Details:
CSEPP is funded under the chemical demilitarization program, a major defense acquisition program executed by the Department of Defense. CSEPP augments the Army’s Chemical Materials Activity (CMA), whose mission is to safely store the stockpile by ensuring maximum protection to its workers, the public, and the environment. CSEPP resides within the Technological Hazards Division (THD) of the National Preparedness Directorate of FEMA. FEMA’s role is executed through a national office at FEMA Headquarters and the FEMA regional program offices where chemical installations are located.
The CSEP Program has supported communities near the U.S. Army depots that store our nation’s stockpile of chemical warfare agents and munitions for 35 years. In 1985, as described in 50 U.S.C. § 1521(d)(1), Congress directed the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to dispose of its lethal unitary (pre-mixed) chemical agents and munitions while providing “maximum protection for the environment, the general public, and the personnel who are involved.” FEMA joined the Army in implementing the CSEP Program through a memorandum of understanding originally signed in August 1988.
