Get Involved
Stakeholder involvement is a critical aspect of EPA's XL program, and it is vital to the ongoing success of Andersen's XL project. Stakeholders, as defined by EPA, include Direct Participants (those directly involved in the project), Commentors (those interested in the project but not intensively participating) and members of the general public.
A Stakeholder Involvement Plan was developed with the Final Project Agreement for Andersen’s XL Project. The Plan contains the strategies and tactics for Andersen to continue outreach work with stakeholders and establishes a process for informing and involving a variety of people and organizations interested in Andersen’s XL Project.
The Andersen Community Advisory Committee (CAC) was formed in 1997 at the beginning of Andersen’s participation in EPA’s Project XL program. Andersen provides administrative support to the CAC. The work of the CAC is based on a Stakeholder Involvement Plan which was part of the Final Project Agreement signed in 1999.
CAC members, local community members and other stakeholders must be informed about Project XL through the provision of easily accessible, understandable, verifiable, and timely information.
From 1997 through May 2006 (when the XL Permit was issued), the CAC held 38 meetings. The CAC members provided a crucial forum for review of all aspects of the Andersen XL Project and requirements under the XL Permit.
The CAC represents a broad base of stakeholders, including representatives of Bayport residents, businesses, and City Council; Baytown Township residents and board; Andersen employees, Washington County Commissioner, environmental groups, Stillwater Area Chamber of Commerce, Stillwater Area School District, and at-large members.
The CAC continues to provide communication and involvement in Andersen’s XL Project since issuance of the XL Permit. Meetings will be held on a semi-annual basis to review Andersen’s environmental performance, and more often as need arise. The CAC and Andersen continue to discuss and review any issues related to the community as well as changes to Andersen operations under the XL Permit.

CAC meetings are typically held in the spring and fall of each year to review Andersen’s environmental performance under the XL Permit.
As part of each CAC meeting agenda, there is an opportunity for residents (whether they are CAC members or not) to raise concerns with Andersen. As part of this regular discussion, Andersen also reports to the CAC the status of any issues that have been previously raised by and discussed with community members.
