 The Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) is a federally funded program of the local, state, and federal agencies to enhance emergency preparedness in areas near stockpile sites including the Pueblo Chemical Depot. Until the entire stockpile is destroyed CSEPP will remain to ensure protection is provided to the public and the environment that surround each stockpile site. A function of CSEPP emergency planning is the identification of areas that could be affected by an accident at PCD. The areas that surround the Depot are divided into Emergency Planning Zones call the Immediate Response Zone (IRZ) and Protective Action Zone (PRZ).
