Restoration Advisory Board

 

Welcome

The Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) is a joint Department of Defense (DOD), North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) initiative to increase participation by local community members in the cleanup process at military installations. The RAB provides a forum through which local communities, installations and regulatory agencies work together in an atmosphere that encourages discussion and exchange of information.

Camp Lejeune established a RAB in 1996.  There are currently 6 members from the local community on the board as well as representatives from the Base, NCDEQ, EPA, and Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic. For membership information, please call the Installation Restoration Program Manager at (910) 451-9641 or email  Lejeune_IR_Program@usmc.mil

Did You Know?

The U.S. Navy and MCB Camp Lejeune check cleanup sites on base every five years to ensure cleanup actions are working. Most recently, we thoroughly investigated 23 areas  during a comprehensive review which can be found here: https://administrative-records.navfac.navy.mil/Public_Documents/MID_ATLANTIC/CAMP_LEJEUNE_MCB/M67001_010601.pdf

Based on this review, 15 areas have protective measures in place. One area is having protective measure put in place now and the other seven areas are being deferred until PFAS investigations are complete. Protecting our communities and the environment is a priority.
