Partnering and the Restoration Advisory Board -- a 45th Space Wing Installation Restoration Program (IRP) success story in public stakeholder involvement
- Cape Canaveral Air Station, FL (United States). 45th Space Wing Installation Restoration Program
- Restoration Advisory Board, Cocoa Beach, FL (United States)
The 45th Space Wing Installation Restoration Program (IRP) is actively involved in addressing stakeholder`s input on historical environmental investigation and clean-up activities at Cape Canaveral Air Station (CCAS) and Patrick Air Force Base (PAFB). A formal partnering effort was established with the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) in August 1995. Partnering is a new way to foster the teamwork needed to successfully implement and execute the 45th Space Wing`s environmental restoration goals. The Partnering Team consists of a roundtable of 10 core team members representing several different organizations within the Air Force, 3 different independent contractors, the USEPA Region IV, and the Florida DEP. The team meets monthly to review, discuss and decide on remedial activities occurring on 45th Space Wing property. The 45th Space Wing Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) was established in April 1995 to enhance stakeholder (community) involvement in the decision-making process on cleanup priorities and solicit advice from members representing the public on IRP activities. It is intended to bring together community members enabling the early and continued two-way flow of information, concerns, values and needs between the community and the base.
