Environmental advisory board meets Feb. 4 Published Jan. 17, 2013 By Rob Sexton 20th Fighter Wing Public Affairs SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. -- Shaw is hosting a public meeting at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 4, at the New Beginnings Banquet Facility, and invites the public to attend and participate. The meeting is of Shaw's Restoration Advisory Board. The board provides a forum through which local communities, installations and regulatory agencies can work together in an atmosphere that encourages discussion and exchange of information on current and future environmental cleanup programs here. Shaw is conducting an ongoing series of environmental activities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, a federal law enacted in 1980 to require the investigation and cleanup of legacy sites throughout the country. These initiatives are also accomplished within the guidelines of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976. The purposes of this meeting are to allow the community the opportunity to view detailed information about ongoing Shaw's environmental cleanup activities and to discuss specific questions and answers with the Shaw environmental restoration team on a one-on-one basis. United States Air Force leaders are totally committed to a clean and safe environment. For further information, please contact the 20th Fighter Wing Public Affairs Office at (803) 895-2019.
