The mission of the Environmental Management Advisory Board (EMAB) is to provide independent and external advice, information, and recommendations to the Assistant Secretary for Environmental Management (EM) on corporate issues relating to accelerated site cleanup and risk reduction.
The Board works to identify applicable private and public sector best management practices and provides counsel on how to integrate them into the EM program.

EMAB provides strategic management advice on where and how to focus the program's resources to achieve maximum impact and greatest risk reduction.
