The Moffett RAB has been meeting since 1994 to advise the Navy on the environmental cleanup of Moffett Field. Meetings were initially monthly but have decreased in frequency over time to twice yearly. The mission of the RAB as stated in the 1995 charter is to advise the Navy on the cleanup and allow community discussion. At their April 2017 meeting, RAB community members recommended staying separate from another advisory board, investigating alternating meetings with EPA and Navy, and expanding community outreach and involvement from local universities. Near term activities include starting to amend the RAB charter and continuing outreach.
