U.S. Army Garrison West Point Seeking Interest in Establishing a Restoration Advisory Board (RAB)
The Department of Defense (DoD) recognizes the importance of stakeholder participation in the decision-making process of the Installation Restoration Program (IRP). In accordance with 10 U.S.C. § 2705 and DoD/Army policy, the U.S. Army Environmental Command (USAEC) and U.S. Army Garrison West Point are inviting community involvement with environmental restoration efforts that are part of the IRP. This program is dedicated to the planned and focused cleanup, if necessary, of sites associated with past DoD activity at West Point, located in Orange County, New York.
A RAB is a formal volunteer stakeholder group that regularly meets to discuss environmental restoration at specific DoD-owned properties on West Point. The DoD, in coordination with USAEC, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, installation leadership, and members of the local community can make up the RAB. Participation in a RAB involves a time commitment from volunteers but provides a valuable platform for individuals interested in DoD cleanup efforts to exchange information with state regulators, Army management, installation personnel, and other community members.
