CONNECTING CLEANUP TO COMMUNITIES: A FEDERAL FACILITIES PUBLIC 
WORKSHOP on
The Final Report of the Federal Facilities Environmental Restoration 
Dialogue Committee
-and-
Issues Affecting Advisory Boards and Communities at Federal Facilities 
in Alaska

.TO: Individuals interested in Alaskan federal facility cleanup issues

.From: The Keystone Center and CAREER/PRO

.DATE: April 17, 18, and 19, 1997

.LOCATION: WestCoast International Inn, Anchorage, Alaska

.FEE: There is no registration fee for this workshop, but 
 PREREGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.

SPONSORS: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
 U.S. Department of Defense
 U.S. Air Force
 U.S. Army

TRAVEL: Some federal agencies will provide limited travel funds for 
their Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) members to attend. To ensure 
broad participation, EPA has made a limited number of travel 
scholarships available to persons from sites that do not have RABs. 
Please return the attached form to The Keystone Center for travel 
support consideration.

Individuals representing a diverse group of parties interested in 
federal facility cleanup and restoration efforts will meet on April 
17, 18, and 19, 1997, in Anchorage, Alaska, to discuss federal cleanup 
issues and their relationship to the unique environmental, cultural, 
and historical Alaskan landscape. 

Workshop organizers and sponsors invite you to join state, tribal, and 
federal government representatives; community members who live near 
federal facility sites; and environmental, citizen, and labor groups 
for a discussion of cooperative approaches to ensuring more effective 
and efficient cleanups. Many military and agency officials attending 
the Workshop will be those responsible for working with local and 
native communities in cleanup efforts, and for communicating with 
advisory boards. A significant goal of the Workshop is to foster 
common understanding and improved communication between these 
individuals and the members of the community. Your attendance, 
therefore, is vital.

The FFERDC was a national EPA-sponsored Committee brought together to 
discuss and come to consensus on recommendations for environmental 
cleanup, community involvement, advisory boards, funding and priority 
setting, and "capacity building"--the improvement and empowerment of 
community and governmental communications and effectiveness. 
Participants in the former FFERDC included local, state, tribal, and 
federal government representatives; military personnel; federal 
regulators; site-specific activists; and environmental, citizen, and 
labor groups. The FFERDC was facilitated by The Keystone Center, a 
Colorado-based nonprofit organization specialized in the mediation of 
public policy dialogue processes. The Alaska Workshop will explain 
and build upon the recommendations contained in the FFERDC Final 
Report, and will discuss the implications of these recommendations for 
federal facility cleanups in Alaska.

The Workshop is sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
and will be hosted by The Keystone Center and CAREER/PRO. CAREER/PRO 
is a program of the San Francisco State University and is experienced 
in advisory board and community involvement issues, as well as 
subsequent national policy and legislative issues as they pertain to 
federal facility clenaup. These organizations have worked with a wide 
variety of regulated and regulating agency staff, as well as community 
members from a diversity of Alaskan sites, to develop an agenda of 
value and interest to those working to influence cleanup issues at 
contaminated federal facilities in Alaska. In this process, special 
attention was given to the unique circumstances and challenges 
implicit in addressing cleanup activities in Alaska.

The Workshop will consist of plenary (full group) sessions focused on 
matters of general interest and smaller breakout groups focused on 
particular issues. Topics to be covered include (see following agenda 
for further detail):

Recommendations of the FFERDC Final Report and their implications for 
Alaskan cleanup activities:
* How the federal agencies and military services coordinate cleanup 
 activities
* Environmental justice and cultural issues related to cleanup activities
* Federal, tribal, and state government authorities
* Restoration advisory board formation, development, and organization
* Opportunities, mechanisms, and sources for cleanup funding
* Local Alaskan contracting opportunities
* Future land use

Attached, you will find a draft agenda for the Workshop. Participants 
will receive a final agenda after preregistering for the Workshop. 

LOGISTICS
PREREGISTRATION FOR THIS WORKSHOP IS NECESSARY. Prior to sending out
