> EPA Workshop to Discuss Community Advisory Group
> 
> Please join us at a public workshop to discuss the formation of a
> community advisory group for the Superfund cleanup of the Tittabawassee
> and Saginaw rivers and Saginaw Bay (Dow site). The workshop will be from
> 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Aug. 15.
> 
> A Superfund community advisory group or CAG is a way for people in the
> community to participate in providing coordinated, local input to the
> decision-making process at Superfund sites. It is a forum for community
> members to present and discuss their needs and concerns related to
> Superfund cleanup projects. A CAG assists U.S. Environmental Protection
> Agency in making better decisions by providing the Agency a unique
> opportunity to hear and seriously consider community preferences for
> site cleanups.
> 
> At large and complex Superfund projects like the Dow site, CAGs can
> serve a critical role in ensuring all community issues are understood
> and considered. CAGs also work as a conduit making sure needed
> information is provided to area residents. EPA wants to work with the
> local communities to establish a CAG for this site.
