East and South Vancouver Barracks Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA): Community Involvement Plan

The National Park Service (NPS) is exercising its authority as lead agency under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) to undertake cleanup activities at the Fort Vancouver (FOVA) National Historic Site (NHS). The cleanup activities will address potential contaminants at the East and South Vancouver Barracks (ESVB) site. An engineering evaluation/cost analysis (EE/CA) will be developed to characterize the nature and extent of contamination at the ESVB. The objective of this Community Involvement Plan (CIP) is to promote communication between the NPS, the community surrounding the ESVB, and Native American tribes and Native Hawaiian community members with interests in the site. This plan is consistent with the public scoping process carried out during development of the East and South Barracks Draft Master Plan and Environmental Assessment (EA) (NPS 2011).

The site background, history, and a description of previous environmental investigations conducted at the ESVB are summarized in Section 2. Information regarding the surrounding community and a summary of the public scoping process carried out to date are described in Section 3. The components of the ESVB CIP are described in Section 4. These components will be implemented to ensure ongoing community involvement and information exchange between the public and the NPS during development and implementation of the EE/CA.
