FORMER CAMP SIBERT RESTORATION ADVISORY BOARD (RAB)
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is investigating and remediating the former Camp Sibert under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program for Formerly Used Defense Sites. The former Camp Sibert is located in Etowah and St. Clair Counties southwest of Gadsden, Alabama and consists of a 37,035-acre tract approximately 14 miles long and 5.5 miles wide.
The former Camp Sibert was utilized from 1942 through 1948 in the development of the Replacement Training Center for the U.S. Army Chemical Warfare Service. Currently, the Northeast Alabama Regional Airport occupies a portion of the site. The remaining areas have been developed into residential housing, industrial facilities, grazing, forestry and agriculture. USACE has worked closely with the Alabama Department of Environmental Management to establish and follow remedial actions protective of human health and the environment.
USACE encourages community involvement in the environmental restoration process. A Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) is one of many methods the USACE may use to facilitate public participation at a Formerly Used Defense Site. RABs provide a collaborative forum for the community, government agencies, tribes and installation decision makers to discuss and identify the most efficient and productive means to restore the environment. RAB members will meet regularly to review and comment on technical documents and plans relating to the ongoing environmental studies and restoration activities at the former Camp Sibert. Members will be expected to serve as liaisons with the community and be available to meet with community members and groups. RAB members serve as volunteers and provide individual advice to decision makers on environmental restoration plans for the former Camp Sibert.
The USACE Savannah District welcomes public feedback regarding interest in establishing a RAB for the former Camp Sibert no later than August 03, 2020. Inquiries or questions should be submitted to:
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Savannah District Public Affairs Office
100 W. Oglethorpe Ave.
Savannah, GA 31401
(912) 652-5014
An Information Repository, which documents the rationale for all remedial action decisions for this site, is maintained and accessible to the community at:
