Common use of Local Stakeholders Clause in Contracts

Local Stakeholders. The XL Participants also identified groups of local stakeholders as part of the Laboratory XL process. In a decentralized, publicly accessible organization such as an academic institution, a local stakeholder process constitutes a formidable task. Efforts to involve local stakeholders at each institution have included the following. • University Faculty and Staff have been involved in the development of the Laboratory Proposal. • The Laboratory XL Proposal has been reviewed at each XL Participant by the Safety Committee (or equivalent), relevant academic or administrative bodies, Chemistry Departments, legal counsel and relevant student environmental organizations. For example, at UVM, the Environmental Council, which is comprised of faculty, administrators, researchers, alumni and students, has reviewed the XL Proposal. • University students have been informed of, or had access to, the Laboratory XL process through the campus newspaper, campus Web Site and the Laboratory XL Home Page. Students, and other interested parties, have been invited to comment on the Laboratory XL Proposal or participate in the Laboratory XL process. • Each XL Participant has identified community environmental stakeholders, including neighborhood organizations, standing committees (e.g., solid waste) for the county or city, or other local environmental organizations. Each XL Participant has publicized and hosted local meetings or spoken at local neighborhood association meetings. • Regulators with jurisdiction over laboratories have been involved in reviewing the Laboratory XL Proposal. Agencies involved include the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, Burlington, (VT) Local Emergency Planning Committee, Boston, (MA) Local Emergency Planning Committee, Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, Burlington (VT) Board of Health, and Boston, (MA) Fire Departments.
