The meeting, which was held in the office of state Rep. Bill Black, R-Danville, dealt with concerns over a 30-gallon spill June 10 of VX, colorless and odorless nerve agent that can kill a human with a single drop.

At the time, Vermillion County Emergency Management Agency Director Bob Huff said he was not informed properly of the spill.

The depot, which is 30 miles southeast of Danville, has stored VX for more than 35 years.

The destruction of the stockpile started on May 5 with about 3,000 of the 250,000 gallons already being neutralized.
