The RAB provides the community with the opportunity to become involved in the environmental restoration process at the former Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant either as a RAB member or through attendance at RAB meetings. RABs offer members the opportunity to influence cleanup decisions through discussion and to provide input to the Army’s decision makers. Because representatives of the environmental agencies overseeing cleanup participate in the RAB, the RAB offers members and the public the opportunity to share their questions, concerns, and ideas with agencies involved in the cleanup.
The TCAAP RAB was established in 1996. It remained active until 2015. The Army would like to re-establish the RAB but needs volunteer community members to do so. A letter was sent to all the previous RAB members. In addition, the Army advertised in the following newspapers:
The Army is hosting a public meeting on January 14, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. CST to provide information to the community on the former TCAAP. This meeting is being conducted virtually to maintain social distancing and protect the health of the community during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) public health emergency.
The purpose of the meeting is to solicit interest and provide information on serving on the TCAAP RAB. The Army will also provide an update on the cleanup program at the former TCAAP.
The meeting is open to the public. Anyone interested in participating on the TCAAP RAB or wanting information on the TCAAP cleanup program is invited to attend.
The meeting will be held on MS teams. You do not need to download the software to participate; you can access the meeting through your web browser. If you’d prefer you can also dial into a teleconference line. Please contact Kay Toye at 302-313-1770 or kay.toye@envrg.com for information on how to access the meeting via internet or phone.
