VANDENBERG RAB EXPANDS SCOPE
At many locations, installations have resisted community efforts to 
expand the scope of Restoration Advisory Boards beyond cleanup. 
However, at Vandenberg Air Force Base, near Santa Barbara, California, 
the Air Force proposed renaming the group and expanding its purview. 
The Community Advisory Board will oversee other environmental 
activities, including compliance and ENVVEST, the pilot pollution 
prevention program. RAB members responded positively, suggesting the 
addition of new community members, and calling for subcommitees to deal 
with the various programs.
The facility's official RAB minutes (May, 1996) reports: "The Air Force 
stresses the value of the existing RAB on the progress of the IRP and 
looks to this group for more good ideas coming from [the] new CAB for 
all environmental programs at Vandenberg AFB."
