Naval base kitsap restoration advisory board

In 2025, the Navy formed a Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) for Naval Base Kitsap (NBK) (which includes NBK-Bangor, NBK-Bremerton, Jackson Park Housing Complex, NBK-Keyport, NBK-Manchester, and Naval Hospital Bremerton). 

A RAB is a formal community advisory group that meets regularly with military and regulatory agency representatives to discuss the Environmental Restoration Program for Naval Base Kitsap. The Environmental Restoration Program focuses on environmental impacts that occurred in the past due to spills, leaks, or historical practices. The Navy is conducting investigations and initiating cleanup actions to address past releases to the environment, such as materials that contained per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), ordnance compounds, and petroleum products.

We are committed to keeping the public informed of the Environmental Restoration Program. For questions about the Environmental Restoration program, please contact the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Northwest Public Affairs Office at navfacnwpao@us.navy.mil.
