What are Site-Specific Advisory Boards?

Site Specific Advisory Boards were developed to involve stakeholders more directly in DOE cleanup decisions. While only one Federal Advisory Committee Act-chartered EM SSAB exists, eight local site boards are chartered under the EM-SSAB umbrella charter. They are

  • rganized at the following DOE Sites: Hanford, Idaho, Los Alamos,

Nevada, Oak Ridge, Paducah, Portsmouth, and Savannah River.

What do the Local Site Boards do?

  • Provide DOE with policy information, advice, and recommendations concerning environmental

restoration, waste management, and technology development activities.

  • Provide input and recommendations on difficult and sometimes controversial national and site

specific issues; such as future use, risk, management, clean-up levels, economic development, and budget prioritization activities.

What are Local Site Boards Responsibilities?

  • Submitting advice and recommendations to DOE on key EM issues while representing and

communicating the diversity of views in their discussions.

  • Keeping the public informed on key issues, upcoming decisions, and board recommendations.

DOE’s obligations to the Local Site Boards include:

  • Keeping the boards informed about key issues and upcoming decisions.
  • Requesting recommendations in advance of DOE deadlines.
  • Considering and responding in a timely manner to all board recommendations.
