Restoration Advisory Board
A Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) is a collective forum of residents, government agencies, tribes, and installation decision makers to discuss, and identify the best way to restore the environment at a site currently or formerly owned by the DoD.
RAB members should be a cross-section of the local community who embody diverse community interests.
This ensures equitable representation and that information reaches all residents.
A RAB is not a decision-making body; however, members do provide input to installation decision makers and have direct access to environmental agencies overseeing the cleanup. They also community questions, concerns, and ideas with those agencies involved in the cleanup.
If you are interested in serving on the Washington Navy Yard RAB, please complete a membership application. Please send your completed RAB application to phillip.a.smarz.civ@us.navy.mil.
