Executive Order 12898 - Environmental Justice
Environmental Justice (EJ) is defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
as,
"The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race,
color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. Fair treatment means
that no group of people, including racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic group should bear a
disproportionate share of the negative environmental consequences resulting from
industrial, municipal, and commercial operations or the execution of federal, state,
local, and tribal programs and policies."
