The Army recognizes the importance of public participation in it environmental cleanup program. Community participation enables the RVAAP team to understand and address public concerns about site investigation and possible cleanup with specific attention to health, safety, and environmental issues. Opportunities for public participation include:

• Attendance at public or Restoration Advisory Board meetings where information about ongoing investigations and removal actions is provided;
• Participation in public comment periods on restoration program documents;
• Regular communication through public notices and news releases;
• Updates on restoration program progress, activities, and meetings on the public website rvaap.org.
  

An Information Repository of current information and final documents is available to any interested reader at Reed Memorial Library (167 East Main Street, Ravenna) and at the Newton Falls Public Library (204 South Canal Street, Newton Falls).

The Administrative Record is a legal file containing any documents related to RVAAP cleanup. Its purpose is to provide the public with access to site information so they can be informed on the cleanup program. The Administrative Record File is located at Camp James A. Garfield which is a controlled access facility. Access to the Administrative Record File can be obtained with prior notification and arrangement.
