Public Involvement
An integral cross-cutting activity within the Environmental Management Program is the
public involvement function. Communication among the U.S. Department of Energy staff,
its contractors, and the public is an essential element in successfully conducting
Environmental Management work. Not only are interested stakeholders informed about
Environmental Management activities at the Nevada Test Site, they are also invited to
provide useful, independent ideas.
Public involvement initiatives include developing and distributing fact sheets,
publications, and exhibits as well as supporting regularly-scheduled meetings between
the Nevada Site Office staff and stakeholders, and special interest presentations and
discussions. Occasional tours of the
Nevada Test Site are conducted to provide a wide variety of groups, organizations, and
individuals the opportunity to see some of the Environmental Management projects that
are managed by the Nevada Site Office.
The Environmental Management Program also supports a site-specific advisory board
called the Community
Advisory Board (CAB) for Nevada Test Site Programs. The Board reviews plans
and programs created by the U.S. Department of Energy, Nevada Site Office Environmental
Management Program and provides citizen recommendations on a wide array of environmental
management issues.
