WELCOME TO CSEPP
Pine Bluff Arsenal is one of six locations in the nation where chemical weapons are stockpiled. The United States Congress has ordered that these weapons be eliminated in the safest manner possible.
The Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) was established to enhance the emergency preparedness in communities around the chemical stockpiles until the stockpiles are eliminated.
Pine Bluff Arsenal stores a blister chemical agent called mustard. The agent is stored in a high security area in earth-covered concrete structures called “igloos.” The agent is closely monitored.
The Pine Bluff Arsenal communicates daily with Jefferson and Grant counties and the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management to inform them of activities involving the stockpile.
