Restoration Advisory Boards (RABs)

Restoration Advisory Boards (RABs) are community-based groups that include local residents, environmental experts, and government officials. They collaborate to oversee and provide input on the cleanup and environmental restoration of military or industrial sites, especially those with contamination issues. RABs help ensure that community concerns are considered, promote transparency, and support effective decision-making about site cleanup activities. Their goal is to foster open communication, build trust, and guide the responsible restoration of land and resources impacted by past activities.
