Alaska Restoration Advisory Boards
Restoration Advisory Boards (RABs) Restoration Advisory Boards are a primary mechanism for actively working with the community during environmental restoration at many installations. The Department of Defense gives each community the option of forming one of these advisory boards to share community views with the installation decision-makers. A RAB has representatives of the Department of Defense installation or overseeing federal agency, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, local governments, tribal governments and the affected local community. RAB members also report information back to the community on the Department of Defense's environmental restoration activities. In Alaska, many, but not all, of the Department of Defense's contaminated sites have RABs to help provide community involvement. Some of the RABs work with more than one site, or even take a regional focus, such as the Barrow RAB. Department of Defense's RAB Handbook: download (PDF 461K )
