Community Involvement: Advisory Boards and Public Forums
Some links on this page to Department of Defense (DoD) sites may not work while DoD's Denix site undergoes a server migration. We are working to fix this problem as soon as possible.

Advisory Boards and Community Groups are key elements in FFRRO's Community Involvement activities. FFRRO works with DoD and DOE and their respective stakeholders at the local level by providing technical and regulatory input at advisory board meetings, and at the national level by developing policies for establishing and maintaining advisory boards.
Restoration Advisory Boards (RABs):
RABs provide a forum through which members of nearby communities can provide input to the Departments of Defense's (DoD's) environmental
restoration program. RAB's are being established at operating installations, closing or realigning installations, and formerly used defense
sites where there is sufficient and sustained community interest.

Site-Specific Advisory Boards (SSABs):
Site-specific advisory boards were developed to involve stakeholders more
directly in DOE cleanup decisions. While only 1 Federal Advisory Committee Act-chartered Environmental Management Site-Specific Advisory
Board (EM SSAB) exists, 10 local site boards chartered under the EM SSAB umbrella charter have been organized at the following DOE sites:
Fernald, Hanford, Idaho, Los Alamos, Nevada, Oak Ridge, Pantex, Paducah, Rocky Flats, and Savannah River.

Community Advisory Groups (CAGs)
A Superfund Community Advisory Group (CAG) is made up of members of the community and is designed to serve as the focal point for the exchange
of information among the local community and EPA, the State regulatory agency, and other pertinent Federal agencies involved in cleanup of the
Superfund site.
