The US Army is conducting environmental studies and clean-up action at Army installations nationwide under the Installation Restoration Program. The Iowa Army Ammunition Plant (IAAAP) is currently undertaking one of the largest soil removal actions in the state of Iowa. The IAAAP has established a Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) to keep the public informed and involved in its clean up activities as well as to provide opportunities for public involvement in its environmental restoration program.

The RAB will enable the local community and representatives of Government Agencies to meet and exchange information about the Iowa AAP’s environmental cleanup program. It will also provide an opportunity to review progress and participate in dialogue with the decision makers.

RAB members are provided a wide range of technical data regarding cleanup actions as well as independent technical assistance in interpreting the data, if necessary. RAB members are encouraged to provide input when choosing between different clean up technologies and they also make recommendations regarding annual project and funding priorities.

Current RAB community members come from West Burlington, Burlington, Wever, Danville and Farmington. They are from all walks of life from teachers to retirees from business owners to conservationists. The common desire among all these individuals is to provide a cleaner environment for us all.
