Can anyone tell me if the issue of humun health risk assessments can be 
part of the RAB recommendations to DOD? I am speaking of past exposure 
(for example) of federal workers or people living next to a base. If 
these people had exposure to the IR sites on base which now are 
confirmed to be toxic and a threat to human health and the environment, 
then a human restoration component needs to be added to the base 
restoration project.

Currently, I think there is no forum to address this issue. Here at 
Alameda Point, the East Bay Conversion and Reinvestment Comission made 
recommendations which included health screenings for workers a residents 
that were potentially exposed to pollutants from DOD Navy operations.

When I brought this subject up to the RAB Community Co-Chair, her 
response was that my issue "appears to involve a legal claim". What I 
submit is that part of the function of the RAB is to have input to DOD 
regarding restoration, and that restoration can not be complete until it 
addresses the issue of past workers and local residents who may have ben 
exposed to these highly contaminated sites which are becoming quite 
costly and the subject of much debate.
