Oregon's Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) began in October 1989 after passage of Public Law 99-145, which mandated the destruction of certain types of chemical warfare agents throughout the U.S. concurrently, Congress saw that emergency preparedness in cities and counties surrounding chemical stockpile sites needed upgrading in order to deal with an unlikely emergency resulting from storage and subsequent destruction.
