The goal of community outreach is to advocate for and strengthen early and meaningful community participation in the Department of the Navy’s (Navy) Environmental Restoration Program (ERP). The overarching objective of the Navy’s ERP is to protect human health and the environment from past hazardous waste practices and releases at Navy Installation Restoration Program (IRP) sites. The Navy is committed to involving the public during the site investigation and cleanup process at Naval Radio Transmitter Facility (NRTF) Dixon, by both formal and informal means of communications. Health and safety on the air station and in our communities is a top Navy priority.
Federal and state laws and regulations require community involvement during site investigation and cleanup activities conducted under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). This ensures that the public is informed and involved early, that public concerns are heard, and that their comments are considered in making final decisions on managing cleanup activities. The Navy encourages meaningful and productive participation by everyone in the community.
Information repositories have been established to provide public access to technical reports and other information about the investigation and cleanup of sites at NRTF Dixon. A collection of environmental restoration documents is available in the Administrative Record files.
Correspondence, reports, minutes, fact sheets, public notices, and other records are available for public review at the following locations:
