Loring Range Munitions Response Site

Soliciting Community Interest in
Forming a Restoration Advisory Board

Part of the U.S. Army's environmental program is to involve the community in all aspects of environmental studies, investigations, and cleanup processes at the Loring Range Munitions Response Site located in Limestone, Maine. Approaches to ensure community involvement include public notices in local newspapers, maintaining an administrative record file, and community participation in a Restoration Advisory Board (RAB). The purpose of a RAB is to provide a forum for community members who may be interested or affected by investigation and clean-up activities at U.S. Army installations. RAB members meet on a regular basis to review and comment on environmental data and plans related to the clean-up activities. In keeping with the U.S. Army's policy to seek community involvement in environmental investigation and clean-up processes, the U.S. Army is seeking input from the community to determine if there is sufficient community interest in establishing a RAB for the Loring Range Munitions Response Site. If there is sufficient interest in establishing a RAB, one will be established. Typically, sufficient interest is indicated by 50 or more individuals who are interested and/or available to be involved in RAB activities. For more information about RABs, please access the following website:
https://www.denix.osd.mil/rab/denix-files/sites/22/2026/03/RAB-Rule-Handbook_Final.pdf. If you are interested in establishing a RAB for the Loring Range Munitions Response Site, please contact the Army National Guard Program Manager at ArmyGuardCleanup@army.mil.
