The Oak Ridge Site Specific Advisory Board (ORSSAB) is a federally chartered volunteer citizens panel that
provides advice and recommendations to the U.S. Department of Energy on its Oak Ridge environmental
cleanup program. Because public comment is important to the ORSSAB study and recommendation
process, we’d like to hear your concerns and opinions regarding environmental management issues related
to the Department’s Oak Ridge Reservation. Please take a moment to complete this short questionnaire. If
you have questions, please call our office at (865) 241-4583 or 241-4584.
