Welcome to the web site of the Roane County Community Advisory Group
The Roane County Community Advisory Group (CAG) is made up of representatives of diverse community interests. It includes some members from the groups and committees that formed to deal with the TVA coal ash catastrophe along with several at large members of the community who have been active in this regard.
CAG meetings are held every other month beginning at 6:30 pm. Please check back for current details and for any changes. The public is invited to attend.

It also includes associate members
who may be involved in certain particular aspects of the cleanup. This
CAG's purpose is to provide a public forum for community members to
present and discuss their needs and concerns related to the CERCLA
decision-making process with regard to the TVA coal ash catastrophe.
The CAG will assist EPA in making better decisions on how to clean up a
site by providing EPA with the opportunity to hear-and seriously
consider-community preferences for site cleanup and remediation. The
existence of the Roane County CAG does not eliminate the need for the
Agency to keep the community informed about plans and decisions
throughout the Superfund process.
CAG meetings will be open to the public and will be announced publicly (via display ads in newspapers, flyers, etc., via the CAG web site, and email) well enough in advance to encourage maximum participation of CAG and community members. CAG members will determine the frequency and location of CAG meetings based on the needs and progress of the TVA clean up process. Meetings are intended to include an update on site status by the project's technical staff; discussion of current issues; a question/answer session that includes audience participation; review of & action items; and discussion of the next meeting's agenda.
