Dear Community Member:
The Oak Ridge Site Specific Advisory Board (ORSSAB) is a volunteer
citizens panel that provides advice and recommendations to the U.S.
Department of Energy on its Oak Ridge environmental cleanup program. Because public comment is important to the ORSSAB study and
recommendation process, we’d like to hear your concerns and opinions
regarding cleanup issues related to the Oak Ridge
Reservation.
Please take a few moments to complete this short form.
If you have questions, please call
the ORSSAB support office at (865) 241-4583 or 241-4584.
