Hill 's RAB consists of 25 people representing the local communities; federal,
state, county and city governments; local sewer and water districts; civic,
business and environmental groups, the Air Force and other interested parties.
RAB meetings are open to the public and advertised in local newspapers. The
following are some key concepts the RAB brings to the cleanup process:
-
RAB community representatives are not selected by the Air Force, but by the
RAB.
-
The RAB selects its own members.
-
The RAB is co-chaired by a representative of the community and the Air Force.
-
The RAB creates its own mission statement and operating procedures.
-
The RAB sets the agenda, meeting times and locations. RAB members are asked to
review and comment on draft documents and reports.
As its name suggests, the RAB is an advisory board, not a policy-making board.
According to Superfund law, the Air Force holds the ultimate responsibility for
making decisions regarding the cleanup. However, the RAB will not be without
influence. Because the community will be involved earlier in the process
through the RAB, the communities' concerns will be understood earlier in the
process. As progress is made toward a cleanup proposal, many of the
communities' concerns will have already been addressed, making the final
proposal more of a cooperative effort.
