(h) RAB/TRC satisfaction with the project.

(i) Discussion of any problems/issues that came up during the TAPP process.

(j) Discussion of the resolution of any problems/issues that came up during the TAPP

process.

(2) The district Commander will submit this report, along with the report submitted by the

RAB/TRC, through the relevant MSC to HQUSACE (ATTN: CEMP-RF). HQUSACE will

submit all TAPP reports to DUSD(ES) at semiannual In-Process Reviews. The results of a TAPP

project should be shared with the community as a whole, and the TAPP report should be retained

in the Administrative Record for the FUDS property restoration program.

c. RAB Adjournment and Dissolution.

(1) RAB Adjournment. The district Commander may adjourn a RAB when there is no

longer a need for a RAB or when community interest in the RAB declines sufficiently. Any of

the following situations is an indication that it may be appropriate to adjourn the RAB:

(a) There is no longer a need for the level of community participation in the

environmental restoration program that is usually provided by a RAB.

(b) The FUDS property no longer has an environmental restoration program, i.e., all

known contaminants and explosives safety hazards at the FUDS property have been reduced to

acceptable risk levels.

(c) A ROD/DD or an Action Memorandum has been signed for a project. When multiple

projects are being conducted concurrently at a FUDS property, and the RAB was established for

all projects being executed at the FUDS property, the RAB will not be adjourned until all

projects have reached the decision point.

(d) Project(s) development is at the response complete stage, and no further

environmental restoration decisions are required.

(e) All environmental restoration remedies are in place and are operating properly and

successfully. The district Commander will establish a mechanism to inform the community,

including former RAB members, about subsequent project actions, such as LTM and 5-year

reviews, that may interest the RAB, and allow the community to address this information as

appropriate. At a minimum, the PM will provide this information to the community through

status report mailings, web sites, or local information repositories.

(f) The RAB has achieved its desired goal as defined in the RAB Operating Procedures.
