Community Involvement Plan Update 
Naval Air Station Patuxent River, St. Mary’s County, Maryland

Questionnaire

As part of the Naval Air Station Patuxent River Environmental Restoration Program (ERP), the Navy prepares a Community Involvement Plan. The plan identifies community concerns and describes how the Navy will communicate with the public about environmental restoration activities at the base. The last Community Involvement Plan update was completed in 2008.

The Navy has contracted CH2M to complete the 2018 Community Involvement Plan update. Therefore, CH2M will be collecting data through this questionnaire to understand their concerns and information needs related to environmental studies planned at NAS Patuxent River.

Your answers will help the Navy further understand what is important to you and the type of information your community wants or needs from the Navy regarding NAS Patuxent River ERP activities and munitions response actions. All responses are confidential and will be used in summary format to prepare the Community Involvement Plan update for 2019.
