Fort Greely Installation Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) Meeting
Fort Greely, Alaska--The Fort Greely Installation Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) will meet at 6:00 p.m. Wednesday, 23 May 2007 at the Community Center in Delta Junction, Alaska.
The goal of the RAB is to give individuals who represent the diverse interests of the community the opportunity to regularly review progress and interact with the decision makers concerning Fort Greely's environmental restoration program. The aim is to increase public understanding and the quality of the installation environmental restoration program.
The RAB meetings are held quarterly, are announced in advance and are open to the public.
The RAB assisted with the restoration efforts required by the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process from 1995 until portions of Fort Greely were withdrawn from surplus in 2001 to support the U.S. missile defense program. The RAB is now assisting with the installation environmental restoration program.
The RAB membership currently includes: the Community Co-chair, Stephen Hammond, the Fort Greely Installation Co-Chair, Lieutenant Colonel Gregory McClinton, Fort Greely garrison commander; community members Dick Anderson, Steve Fields, Pete Hallgren, Tom Miller, Mike Murphy, and Carol Stock. A representative from the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation participates in each meeting and a representative from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is invited to participate in each meeting.
Members of the RAB have committed to a goal of attending all RAB meetings and devoting ample time to review any related Army documents within prescribed time frames.
Public participation on the RAB is strictly voluntary. The Army does not provide financial support to the public members for their services nor are members compensated for work hours lost or time invested.
For more information about the RAB and its activities, call Stephen Hammond at telephone 907-895-5441, see the RAB's website at www.smdcen.us/rabfga, or call Christine Boerst, Fort Greely director of public works and environmental coordinator, at telephone 907-873-4665.
