Community Involvement

 

Community Survey

One of the main goals of the Tribal Response Program (TRP) includes identifying and addressing contaminated and potentially contaminated properties present on lands under the jurisdiction of Keweenaw Bay Indian Community (KBIC). Community involvement represents an important past of the process at all levels from identifying sites of concern, to the cleanup and redevelopment of a contaminated site. The TRP Community Survey gave community members an opportunity to express their ideas and concerns regarding their priorities for the cleanup and reuse of contaminated properties, preferred method to be informed about program developments, willingness to participate in the program, and general environmental concerns. The information gathered from the survey contributes to the development of a Community Relations Plan designed to guide the public participation process for the TRP, as well as ensures that the cleanup and redevelopment priorities incorporate the values expressed by community members. See the Community Survey Results Report for more information.
