UXO Meeting for RAB members

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

"Protecting the Public at Unexploded Ordnance Sites"

When: June 26-27, 1999

Where: Benicia, California, near the former Benicia Arsenal

CPEO is inviting Restoration Advisory Board members and other community
representatives from current and former military facilities with known
or suspected unexploded ordnance (UXO) contamination, as well as
representatives from academia, industry, and government, to a two-day
meeting to discuss risk assessment, risk management, and risk
communications at UXO sites. After presentations of the Range Rule Risk
Methodology - under development by a multi-constituency partnering team
- and other approaches to UXO risk, participants will be asked how they
believe public health and the environment can best be protected at
ranges and UXO disposal/demilitarization sites. 

* What information is necessary to make good risk management decisions?

* How should characterization technologies be selected?

* How does future land use relate to UXO remediation strategies?

* What are reasonable standards for safety and reliability?

* What are the proper roles of the various players, including community
members, in the decision-making process?

The program will also include a tour of Benicia and the former arsenal.

For more information, write <cpeo@cpeo.org> or phone Lenny Siegel at
650/961-8918. Space is limited.
