The Army recognizes the importance of public participation in its environmental cleanup program. Hearing from the community enables the Fort Wingate cleanup team to understand and address public concerns. The Army wants to hear concerns about site investigations and cleanup. Especially of interest are specific concerns about health, safety, and environmental issues. Opportunities for involvement include:
- Public interest surveys;
- Restoration Advisory Board meetings;
- Regular communication through news releases;
- The community interest mailing list; and
- This regularly updated Web site.

The Restoration Advisory Board (often called the RAB) is a committee of volunteers from the community who participate in area cleanup decisions. The board is made up of private representatives from the community, one person from the New Mexico Environment Department, and one from the Army. They meet on an as needed basis to review and discuss the latest developments in the cleanup program. The RAB is currently inactive pending the results of a public interest survey scheduled for June, 2008.
