The mission of the Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) is to serve as a medium for community involvement in the remediation programs at the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) located in Arden Hills, Minnesota.  The RAB stakeholders* will work cooperatively:
 

1. To review and analyze issues, deemed significant and consequential by the RAB, concerning the contamination and remediation of the TCAAP soils and groundwater;

 
2. To provide comments and recommendations to responsible parties, regulatory agencies, and the public regarding remediation of contaminated areas at TCAAP;

 
3. To ensure that all RAB comments and recommendations are considered in the decision-making processes of the responsible parties and regulatory agencies;

 
4. To promote and influence sound policy decisions that benefit and improve the quality of the environment of the communities that are impacted by the contamination at TCAAP;

 
5. To ensure that remediation strategies are consistent with proposed or envisioned future land reuse options for the TCAAP property;

 
6. To consider the impact of contamination and remediation strategies of the TCAAP from an ecological perspective;

 
7. To ensure the public/community is fully informed of the progress that TCAAP is making in restoring contaminated areas and has ample opportunity for engagement in the ongoing work of the RAB; and

 
8. To ensure that the RAB has sufficient opportunity to provide input regarding Installation Restoration Program In-Progress Review decision-making events.
