Restoration Advisory Board
Naval Support Facility Indian Head (NSF-IH) has had a formal community relations plan in place since 1988, when a Technical Review Committee (TRC) was formed for the Environmental Restoration (ER) program, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). As the restoration program began to mature, the TRC expanded to a Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) in 1994. The purpose of the RAB is to foster communication between the Navy and the local community, with the specific goals of:
• Informing the public regarding the progress of planned and ongoing restoration actions at the facility.
• Communicating the results of investigations and risk assessments when available.
• Receiving feedback from the public as to their specific concerns and information needs.
• Providing the public with the opportunity to comment on and participate in addressing technical decisions associated with ER sites at the facility.
The RAB contains representatives from the Navy, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE), local government officials, and community members. Currently the RAB meets annually at the Indian Head Senior Center. The Indian Head Senior Center is located at:
100 Cornwallis Square
Indian Head, MD 20640
Upcoming RAB meetings are scheduled for:
