Interactive communications enable the public and other stakeholders to learn about the environmental program so they can provide input.

DOE is committed to fostering meaningful public involvement in its decision-making at the site. Interactive communications enable the public and other stakeholders to learn about the environmental program so they can provide input.

Stakeholders include individuals, groups, communities, and other entities in the public and private sectors that are interested in or affected by environmental activities and decisions. Ongoing communications enhance DOE’s ability to consider the public’s interests in cleanup decisions.

Portsmouth Site Specific Advisory Board (SSAB)

County commissioners and other elected officials

Ohio Environmental Protection Agency

Community Reuse Organization (Southern Ohio Diversification Initiative)

General public via public meetings

Civic groups

Economic development professionals

Regional universities and high schools

Fence line neighbors

DOE also supports educational outreach through its programs including the annual Science Alliance, High School Regional Science Bowl, and the High School Annual Site Environmental Report Summary project.
