Pax Restoration Advisory Board to Meet Oct. 9

NAS Patuxent River Restoration Advisory Board will meet October 9, 2024, at 6pm in Room 100 at the Frank Knox Building.

RAB is a link between the community and government decision-makers. The US Navy and the appropriate regulatory agencies are responsible for making decisions about the environmental restoration program. Part of the decision-making process is to consider comments from the public and respond to them.

The Frank Knox Building is at 21866 Cedar Point Road.

The goal of a RAB is to encourage regular communication during the environmental restoration process by:

• Making information about the investigation and cleanup actions available to members of the public
• Gaining effective input from stakeholders on cleanup activities
• Increasing the installation’s responsiveness to the community’s environmental restoration concern

RAB is part of the partnership working for effective and efficient cleanup of NAS Patuxent River. The Pax RAB was formed in January 1995. It is co-chaired by an elected community member and a Navy representative.

RAB members are provided with information about the ER program, and their input on remediation decisions is actively sought. The RAB contains representatives from the Navy, Environmental Protection Agency, Maryland Department of the Environment, local government officials, and community members.
