THE MISSISSIPPI ARMY NATIONAL GUARD INVITES THE PUBLIC TO LEARN ABOUT AND PROVIDE INPUT ON ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATION AND CLEANUP ACTIVITIES AT CAMP SHELBY JOINT FORCES TRAINING CENTER, MISSISSIPPI HATTIESBURG, FOREST, AND PERRY COUNTIES, MISSISSIPPI The Mississippi Army National Guard is conducting an environmental investigation for per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at the Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center (referred to as "Camp Shelby"), Mississippi. An Administrative Record has been established to include documents and information as they are generated during Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study phases. The Administrative Record is a collection of documents maintained by the Army National Guard (ARNG) that form the basis for the selection of a particular response action. To ensure information about the PFAS work at Camp Shelby is available to interested citizens, the ARNG will maintain these records at the following locations: National Guard Bureau 111 S George Mason Drive, Arlington, Virginia 22204. Library of Hattiesburg Petal & Forrest County 329 Hardy Street, Hattiesburg, Mississippi 39401; (601) 582-4461. The ARNG is also soliciting public interest in establishing a Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) for PFAS remedial investigation activities at Camp Shelby. What is a RAB? A RAB is a community group which meets to discuss and receive information on environmental restoration (cleanup of contamination) projects at a military facility. What does a RAB do? A RAB enables local community members interested in environmental cleanup to receive and exchange information with the facility and regulatory agencies managing environmental cleanup projects at Camp Shelby. At meetings, RAB members and the public can receive updates and ask questions on the status of the environmental cleanup program at Camp Shelby. Though the RAB is not a decision-making group, the RAB gives local community members the opportunity to have their voices heard and to provide valuable community insight to the facility and regulatory agencies. Are you interested in participating in a RAB for Camp Shelby? If you are interested in learning more about Camp Shelby environmental restoration projects and having the opportunity to give your input to ARNG and regulatory agencies on their management of cleanup projects at Camp Shelby, either as a RAB member or by attending RAB meetings, please contact Mike Reid (contact information below) by July 6, 2026.
