Discussion: Environmental Justice Public Participation Policy (PA LWV Event)

Wednesday, March 23, 2022

  • 7:00 PM 8:00 PM

  • League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania Citizen Education Fund

Join the League of Women Voters PA for an informational meeting on zoom to discuss the new DEP Environmental Justice Public Participation Policy.  Justin Dula, The Eastern Regional Coordinator of the Office of Environmental Justice will give an overview of the revised policy.  Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions. We will also discuss the policy within the DEI lens.  

Environmental Justice communities are defined as communities where 20 percent of residents live below the federal poverty line and/or 30 percent are non-white minorities. The EJ Public Participation Policy sets guidelines for permit application reviews in these areas.  The policy was created to increase engagement in EJ Areas and ensure community members have the opportunity to participate and be involved in decision-making during the permitting process involving their neighborhoods or when existing facilities expand their operations in EJ Areas.
