Laura this is very true.  Only items listed in the IAP known as SWMU's, 
Solid Waste Managements Units.

And in fact the RAB cannot vote as a group on IAP work that is being done, 
only vote and send letters as individuals.

The RAB members do not have any say in the cleanup of contaminated 
buildings, pipelines, sewer lines, spills not covered under RCRA or CERCLA, 
PCB cleanups, asbestos removal, etc.

What a "SHAM".  This is called covering your XXXXXXXXXXXX.
