SUFFOLK, Va. — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
will host their quarterly public meeting regarding restoration efforts at the
Former Nansemond Ordnance Depot Thursday.
The Restoration Advisory Board meeting; which will take place at
the Courtyard Marriott, located at 8060 Harbour View Blvd. in Suffolk from 6:15
to 8:15 p.m.; will feature discussions regarding the latest cleanup progress.
Topics planned for the March meeting include:
• TNT Area Update
• MBG Update
The quarterly RAB
meetings serve as a public forum for the USACE’s cleanup progress at the
975-acre defense depot, located near the former Tidewater Community College
Portsmouth campus.
The RAB members include stakeholders such as residents; local businesses;
local, state, and federal regulators; property owners; Corps personnel and
contractors; and other whom are interested in the clean-up.
During the meetings, RAB members ask questions and provide input on all aspects
of the restoration process to the interagency project team. All FNOD RAB
quarterly meetings are open to the public.
The Environmental Protection Agency placed FNOD on its National Priorities List
in 1997. Two years later, the FNOD RAB was established.
The RAB welcomes new members.
