Public Notice: Restoration Advisory Board Interest Assessment

Offutt AFB had a Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) in the past; however, it was dissolved in 2010, due to lack of participation. An assessment is completed every two years to determine if there is enough interest in re-establishing the RAB. 

A RAB is a community group which meets to discuss and receive information on environmental restoration (cleanup) projects at a military base. A RAB facilitates and improves communication, outreach, and transparency between the military base, the public, regulators, local governments, and interest groups for issues related to military cleanup activities. RABs engage in and support the Department of Defense’s cleanup efforts by reviewing and commenting on cleanup documents and activities; serving as a liaison to and sharing cleanup information with the community; and providing a forum to exchange information about the schedule, type and status of cleanup activities. Though RABs are not a decision-making body, they do give local community members the opportunity to have their voices heard.

The Offutt AFB Restoration Program seeks out, investigates, and cleans up past waste disposal and spill sites. The decision documents and other reports related to the Offutt AFB remediation efforts are available for the public to review on the Air Force Civil Engineer Center Administrative Record Search website: https://ar.cce.af.mil/
