What is the Restoration Advisory Board (RAB)?
The RAB gives the community access to information about the progress of the Navy’s ERP activities at NWIRP Calverton. The RAB concept allows an interested subset of the local community to become educated on the often highly technical aspects of the planning, investigation, and risk management decisions and actions of specific Navy ERP Sites and provide advice to the decision makers based on common issues and concerns of the local community. The RAB will also act as a liaison group, disseminating information to the community and soliciting the community for comments. The RAB is not a decision-making board, but a valuable resource in ensuring local knowledge, issues, and concerns are considered and incorporated where appropriate into the Navy’s planning and execution of the ERP at NWIRP Calverton. The Navy will consider all advice provided by the RAB, whether offered as a consensus or by individual members.

Take the Survey
Even if you do not wish to apply, please take the Navy’s 12-question survey, which can be downloaded at the bottom of this section, and return to jennifer.m.zingalie.civ@mail.mil. You can also fax the survey to (757-953-0675) and be sure to write ATTN: Jennifer Zingalie on the survey. Your responses are invaluable as they help the Navy understand how best to keep the community informed on this issue as well as where the community prefers to receive their information; it will also be used to develop a Community Involvement Plan. To take the survey verbally, please email Jennifer Zingalie at jennifer.m.zingalie.civ@mail.mil or call 757-953-4063 to set up an appointment. The survey may take approximately 20-30 minutes.
