The Stewart Air National Guard Base was listed as a New York State Superfund site in August 2016, which brings the site under the NYS Superfund Program for identifying, investigating, and cleaning up hazardous waste sites. Under Superfund law, remediation is funded by the responsible parties. Furthermore, a Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) (originally formed as a Restoration Advisory Committee) was formed in early 2020 to provide advice to the New York Air National Guard, regulators, and other government agencies on environmental clean-up activities and community involvement. The RAB also reviews and comments on various technical documents and related site information; holds regular RAB meetings, discusses/exchanges information regarding site cleanup; and its members act as liaisons to the community. Clearwater has had an organizational seat on the RAB since its inception.
The next Restoration Advisory Board Meeting will be held virtually on Wednesday, November 13, 5:30-7:30pm.
