REMARKS
Ms. Carol Browner, Administrator, EPA, extended her appreciation to representatives of EPA and members
of the NEJAC who have been working on addressing issues related to environmental justice at the agency.
She stated that addressing environmental justice is not an easy task and one that is not becoming easier
to address as new evidence is identified that minority and low-income communities do bear a
disproportionate "brunt of [the impacts of] our modern technological society." She emphasized the need for

Executive Summary National Environmental Justice Advisory Council
the members of the NEJAC to stay focused on the topic of this meeting. Ms. Browner expressed her belief
that when decision-makers truly engage a local community, up front and in an informed and meaningful
manner, the quality of the decision that the agency or other regulatory entity is able to make is dramatically
improved compared to a decision that is made without the engagement of the community. She continued
by saying that the challenge that lays before EPA is how to involve a local community in an effective, open,
honest, and informed manner.
Ms. Browner concluded her remarks by stating that the agency needs to take a "real look" at the regulatory
decisions made as well as the guidance and framework that EPA issues to state and local governments to
ensure that principles related to environmental justice are being integrated into the decision-making process
for issuing permits.
Mr. Steven Herman, Assistant Administrator, EPA Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance
(OECA), expressed the agency's continuous appreciation to the members of the NEJAC fortheir invaluable
assistance in providing EPA advice and counsel on issues related to environmental justice. Mr. Herman
then noted the change in format for this and future meetings of the NEJAC. He explained that each NEJAC
meeting now will focus on a single issue and its relationship to environmental justice. Announcing that this
meeting of the NEJAC would focus on permitting, Mr. Herman stated that through panel discussions,
members of the NEJAC, EPA, and other meeting participants will examine aspects of permitting related to
various authorities and opportunities where the agency can ensure that environmental justice is integrated
into the decision-making process for issuing permits. Mr. Herman concluded his remarks by noting that
numerous assistant administrators and other senior-level managers of EPA will be in attendance at this
meeting.
Mr. Barry Hill, Director, EPA OEJ, began his remarks by stating that environmental justice is "something that
belongs to everyone" in that every American citizen is entitled to clean air, water, and land based on the
United States' protective environmental laws. He continued by defining environmental justice, and
explaining that the concept:
> Acknowledges that environmental justice is a basic right of all Americans to live and work in
environmentally protected surroundings.
> Recognizes that environmental justice is not only an environmental issue, but a public health issue.
> Recognizes that environmental justice is forward-looking and goal-oriented because the concept seeks
to include affected communities in the decision-making processes.
> Indicates that environmental justice is inclusive.
Mr. Hill then stated that based on these premises the definition of environmental justice is compatible with
the mission of EPA to protect human health and to safeguard the environment.
Continuing his remarks, Mr. Hill pointed out that environmental justice is at a critical stage from the point of
view of environmental law and public policy. He then proceeded to provide historical examples of
environmental justice, starting with the issuance in 1987 of a report by the United Church of Christ on race
and environmental contamination to present day legal cases to highlight the various stages of environmental
justice as a legal concept.
Mr. Hill concluded his remarks by stating that for this meeting OEJ has asked the NEJAC to provide advice
and recommendations on how best to integrate environmental justice into the decision-making process
related to permitting so that the concept can be applied as measurable, rationalized, and routine standards
of evaluation.
Ms. Samantha Fairchild, Director, Office of Enforcement, Compliance, and Environmental Justice, EPA
Region 3, emphasized that environmental justice continues to be a major area of concern at EPA Region
ES-2 Arlington, Virginia, November 30 through December 2, 1999

National Environmental Justice Advisory Council Executive Summary
3 and that the regional office has taken steps to improve communication among all affected stakeholders.
For example, she explained that EPA Region 3 is developing partnerships with state environmental agencies
in the five-state region to provide assistance during the decision-making process related to permits. This
effort includes establishing consistent meetings with states to discuss potential environmental justice issues
before those issues become legal problems, she said. Ms. Fairchild also noted that EPA Region 3 has
participated in Pennsylvania's Environmental Equity Work Group to define and identify criteria for
environmental justice communities.
Continuing her remarks, Ms. Fairchild also noted that the regional office has been involved in several studies
to investigate public health issues in environmental justice areas with heavy industry as well as conducted
a study in a southwest Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area that is heavily concentrated with auto body and paint
shops. She explained that the information collected from these studies will assist the state of Pennsylvania
and Region 3 meet the needs of its citizens. Ms. Fairchild concluded her remarks by stating that the NEJAC
is a valuable tool to grapple with the many complex problems facing communities related to environmental
justice.
Mr. Bradley Campbell, White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), reported on the second
environmental justice listening session held in New York, New York in March 1999 that continued to bring
together various federal agencies and community members to discuss issues related to environmental
justice. Mr. Campbell explained that the purpose of the listening sessions was to ensure the environmental
justice principles that have been integrated into EPA's policies and programs also are being implemented
in other federal agencies actions that affect local communities. As a result of the listening session, he noted,
several federal agencies, such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE), agreed to reopen public
comment periods to review permits related to transportation decisions for New York City. In addition, the
Healthcare Financing Administration agreed to help local New York communities to gain better access to
medical care for asthma related health problems.
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIODS
The NEJAC hosted public comment periods on November 30 and December 1,1999. More than 30 people
participated in the two public comment periods. Significant concerns expressed during the public comment
periods included:
> Several commenters continued to express concern about the "unfair process" under which permits are
issued by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ).
> Many commenters expressed concern about the "unrealistic" time frame by which to review and provide
comments on proposed permits during the decision-making process. Many commenters recommended
that EPA revise the time line related to issuing a permit to provide for earlier notification of a proposed
permit, as well as provide documents in easier to understand language.
> Several commenters expressed concern about the lack of options available for recourse once a permit
has been issued and a facility has begun operations.
> Several commenters recommended that the NEJAC address environmental justice issues at federal
facilities.

Executive Summary
National Environmental Justice Advisory Council
PANELS ON PERMITTING AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
The NEJAC, in its continuing efforts to provide independent advice to the EPA Administrator on areas
related to environmental justice, focused its fourteenth meeting on a specific policy issue - permitting and
environmental justice. On Tuesday, November 30, 1999, the members of the NEJAC listened to a series
of panels comprised of various stakeholders that were designed to provide insight into the issues and
concerns raised with respect to environmental justice in the permitting process.
Mr. Richard Lazarus, Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center and former member of the
Enforcement Subcommittee of the NEJAC, provided background information on the historical development
of integrating concerns related to environmental justice into the permitting process. Mr. Lazarus explained
that "environmental justice permitting" refers to the consideration of concerns related to environmental
justice in the context of an environmental permitting authority's decision to grant, deny, or condition a permit
at a facility, the operation of which has adverse or potentially adverse environmental effects on the
community. Ms. Zulene Mayfield, Chester Residents Concerned for Quality Living, presented an overview
on the challenges her community has faced related to state environmental agencies and the permitting
process. Ms. Mayfield emphasized the necessity for local and state agencies to allow local affected
communities to participate earlier and more often in the decision-making process. Mr. Carlos Porras,
Communities for a Better Environment, provided information on several communities near Los Angeles,
California facing environmental justice issues related to air quality and permitting. Mr. Porras explained that
there are several challenges EPA needs to address related to permitting that included collecting more
reliable data.
The panel presentations included (Exhibit ES-2 provides the names of the panelists):
Facilitated Dialogue — Mr. Kojo Nnamdi of
National Public Radio, facilitated a dialogue
among representatives of communities; industry;
tribes; and state, local, and federal governments
to identify issues and concerns related to
environmental justice and permitting. (Exhibit
ES-3 shows Mr. Nnamdi facilitating.) The
primary issue identified by all stakeholder
groups was that the public should become
involved in the permitting process as early and
as often as possible. Several members of the
panel expressed concern that members of the
public believe that public outreach related to
permitting is superficial, citing the fact that
although a regulation may take two years to
develop, the public only receives 30 days in
which to review and provide comment.
ES-3: Mr. Kojo Nnamdi facilitating a dialogue session
on issues related to environmental justice and the
permitting process.
EPA Panel — Senior managers from EPA's
Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER), Office of Air and Radiation (OAR), Office
of Water (OW), and Region 3 provided information on their program's efforts to incorporate
environmental justice into the permitting processes. Each of the headquarter program offices
announced to the members of the NEJAC various commitments to increase public involvement and
revise the permitting processes to integrate environmental justice into them.

Executive Summary National Environmental Justice Advisory Council
> Panel 1: Addressing Real Life Dilemmas of Environmental Justice in Permitting: How Do We Respond
to the Legacy of Land Use Impacts?— Representatives from academia, industry, community, and local
government discussed the dilemmas for the permitting process related to the historical development of
land use and zoning requirements. Several members of the panel recommended that EPA involve
stakeholders of local government earlier in the development of guidance and policy to help prepare local
governments to implement new regulations.
> Panel 2: The Current State of Environmental Justice and Permitting: What Are Its Limitations? — This
multi stakeholder panel identified areas of concern and gaps related to integrating environmental justice
into the permitting process. A primary concern expressed by several members of the panel focused on
the need for local, state, and federal government agencies to diversify their staff to better understand
the needs and concerns of their constituents.
> Panel 3: Opportunities for Improvement: What Factors Should EPA Consider to Help Ensure
Environmental Justice in Permitting? — Members of the multi stakeholder panel provided
recommendations to EPA on how to improve efforts to integrate concerns related to environmental
justice into the permitting process. Several key recommendations included:
- Create an air emissions credits trading review board to evaluate the disparate effects the trading
of air emissions credits may have on an affected community.
- Provide additional resources to improve data from geographical information systems to more
accurately identify demographics and other cultural considerations.
COMMON THEMES
During the meetings of the Executive Council and its subcommittees, the members of the NEJAC discussed
a wide range of issues related to environmental justice. Specific concerns of and commitments made by
the NEJAC include:
> Continued concern about the "crisis" environmental contamination conditions under which certain
residents of Louisiana live.
> Concern about the lack of public participation in the decision-making process related to issuing permits.
> Recommendation that EPA develop a process by which the agency can step in to "fill the regulatory gap"
left when EPA is not the primary authority.
Members of the NEJAC recommended that the EPA Administrator assume an active role in discussions with
LDEQ about the environmental contamination and the issuance of permits in that state. In addition, the
Executive Council also approved a resolution that requested that the EPA Administrator recommend that
the Inspector General of EPA conduct an audit of the LDEQ to ensure that the state agency is in compliance
with applicable environmental laws.
Members of the NEJAC, as well as members of the various panels, agreed that local communities need to
be included often and as early as possible in the decision-making process related to issuing permits. The
Executive Council agreed to create a special work group to develop a report to provide advice on how EPA
can integrate concerns related to environmental justice into the permitting process in a manner that would
be beneficial to all stakeholders. Ms. Vernice Miller-Travis, Partnership for Sustainable Brownfields
Redevelopment and chair of the Waste and Facility Siting Subcommittee of the NEJAC, agreed to chair the
workgroup.
Several members of the NEJAC expressed concern about several cases, such as waste transfer stations,
in which a "regulatory gap" is created because EPA is not the primary authority and the local or state agency

is not responding to concerns of its constituents. The members recommended that EPA develop a process
by which the agency can step in to "fill" such a gap.
SUMMARIES OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE
MEETINGS
Summarized below are the deliberations of the members of the six subcommittees of the NEJAC during their
meetings.
Air and Water Subcommittee
The Air and Water Subcommittee reviewed the activities of its three work groups on cumulative permitting,
urban air toxics, and fish consumption, and proposed a new work group of the subcommittee which would
focus on public utilities. Updates from the current work groups included:
> The Work Group on Cumulative Permitting proposed a list of issues for EPA to consider related to public
participation and permitting.
> The Work Group on Urban Air Toxics discussed and offered comment to EPA OAR on the agency's
urban air toxic strategy.
> The Work Group on Fish Consumption focused its efforts on subsistence fish consumption, specifically
related to cultural practices of native communities; fish monitoring; the necessity for fish advisories; and
reducing human exposure to contaminants in fish.
The subcommittee also hosted a joint session with the Enforcement Subcommittee of the NEJAC that
focused on OAR's economic incentives program (EIP), Tier ll/gasoline sulfur rule, and OWs proposed rule
on standards for total maximum daily load (TMDL).

environmental health research topics identified by communities.
Indigenous Peoples Subcommittee
Members of the Indigenous Peoples Subcommittee continued to discuss the development of a consultation
and collaboration guidance to provide assistance to federal and other agencies on how to participate in
meaningful consultation with tribal governments and tribal communities. The subcommittee agreed to
distribute the draft guidance to all federally recognized tribes for review and comment. In addition, the
subcommittee agreed to forward by March 2000 a copy of the guidance to the members of the Executive
Council for approval.
Members of the subcommittee also discussed and developed a strategic plan for the subcommittee for the
next two years. Several goals express in the strategic plan include identifying key environmental justice
issues, particularly related to permitting, in Indian Country and provide training to members of the NEJAC
on environmental justice issues related to indigenous peoples.
In addition, members of the subcommittee discussed EPA's proposed core standards for water quality for
Indian Country, the air permitting program related to tribes, and the recent trade negotiations related to
persistent organic pollutants (POP).

National Environmental Justice Advisory Council Executive Summary
Waste and Facility Siting Subcommittee
Members of the Waste and Facility Siting Subcommittee discussed issues related to environmental justice
and the administration of the Superfund program by EPA. The members of the subcommittee
recommended that communities be protected as EPA continues to delegate authority to tribes and states
under Superfund.
Members of the Waste Transfer Station Work Group of the subcommittee presented its report of
recommendations on criteria for siting waste transfer stations, a planning process to assure a more equitable
distribution of waste transfer facilities among communities, and a more deliberative approach to evaluate
how many of these types of facilities are necessary. The members of the work group noted that, in the
absence of a federal baseline for waste transfer stations, there exists an enormous variability in operating
practices among such facilities.
In response to continued concerns expressed during earlier public comment periods of the NEJAC,
members of the subcommittee agreed to participate in quarterly conference calls convened by EPA Region
6 to address environmental justice issues related to Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. Also, members of the
subcommittee agreed to address differences between presentations made by staff of EPA related to the
relocation of community members of Pensacola, Florida and those comments offered by affected community
members during the December 1, 1999 public comment period.
SUMMARY OF APPROVED RESOLUTIONS
This section summarizes resolutions that were discussed by the subcommittees and approved by the
Executive Council of the NEJAC during the meeting. Appendix A provides the full text of each resolution
that was approved by the Executive Council.

RESOLUTION CALLING FOR AN AUDIT OF
LOUISIANA PERMITTING PROGRAMS =
WHEREAS, public participation in environmental decision-making is fundamental to environmental justice,
as it allows those affected by decisions to take part in them;
WHEREAS, all major environmental laws contain legally binding public participation requirements;
WHEREAS, EPA offices with permitting authority further agreed to and embraced the NEJAC Public
Participation Guidelines;
WHEREAS, the right to legal representation is indispensable for public participation and essential to the
viability of citizen suit provisions of said federal environmental laws;
WHEREAS, public participation and speech on environmental decisions is constitutionally protected by the
1st Amendment;
WHEREAS, NEJAC has heard testimony at each of its last five meetings from residents of Louisiana, who
have presented substantial evidence indicating a pattern of intimidation by the State of Louisiana of citizens
engaged in public comment, leading to the curtailing of citizens' right to free speech in environmental
permitting processes;
WHEREAS, the State of Louisiana has moved to abridge citizens' rights to legal representation in
environmental decision-making;
WHEREAS, the failure to guarantee public participation represents dereliction of the State of Louisiana's
delegated and authorized environmental permitting programs;
WHEREAS, implementation failures and delegated programs undermine the federal government's authority
for those programs at the national level;
WHEREAS, such threats to federal authority, if confirmed, provide grounds for the revocation of the State
of Louisiana's permitting authorities;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the NEJAC recommends that the Administrator direct the Inspector
General to conduct a full audit of the State of Louisiana's permitting programs with particular attention to
violations of the Agency's public participation regulations, the NEJAC's public participation guidelines, and
the U.S. Constitution.
RESOLUTION ON POLLUTION CAUSED BY THE PUERTO RICO
ELECTRIC POWER AUTHORITY (PREPA) ^^^^^^^^^=
WHEREAS, the Puerto Rico State Implementation Plan Revision of 1993 to reduce PM10 has failed to
obtain attainment in the Guaynabo non attainment area
WHEREAS, NAAQS exceedances have occurred for four consecutive years
WHEREAS, these exceedances were predicted in the modeling process of the 1993 SIP revision
WHEREAS, exceedances in Puerto Rico during dust migration episodes from the Sahara dust and the
Monserrate volcano eruptions are always predictable by the available satellite technology
WHEREAS, the state cannot control non anthropogenic emissions, it can control anthropogenic emissions
from point sources such as power plants stacks to ensure NAAQS compliance
WHEREAS, the use of a fuel with a sulfur content of 1.5% as a control strategy to minimize the impact of
the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) in the non attainment area in Cata-Guaynabo has failed
to obtain attainment in the area
A-1
-------
WHEREAS, PREPA has no pollution control in its stacks
WHEREAS, a residual oil with 1.5% of sulfur content is considered a dirty fuel
WHEREAS, the particulate emission limitation (mass emission) of .3lbs/lbs/MBU is less restrictive than the
federal standard of 0.1 Ibs/MBTU
WHEREAS, the state mass emission standard of 0.3 Ibs/MBTU has never been proven by the state to be
equivalent to 20% opacity,
WHEREAS, the PR state mass emission limitation of .3lbs/MBTU has been identified by EQB officials as
a "typographical error'
WHEREAS, the state emission standard cannot be less restrictive than the federal particulate standards,
WHEREAS, PREPA has been identified as egregious opacity violator while firing 1.5% sulfur fuels since
1993,
WHEREAS, the use of a fuel with 1.5% sulfur content has failed to sustain a clean emission in PREPA's
stacks,
WHEREAS, relying in opacity as the only federally emission standard to protect the health of the people
from excessive sulfur dioxide emissions from a dirty fuel results in an unequal protection of law to residents,
WHEREAS, PREPA has been convicted of criminal environmental actions in a federal Court as is under
certain strict probation terms,
WHEREAS, eliminating the mass emission limitation in a non attainment area for particulates,
in the Catano-Guaynabo area, contravenes the Clean Air Act
WHEREAS, PREPA is the second Public Utility with the highest revenues in the USA,
WHEREAS, PREPA has a monopoly in energy sales, even in the presence of other cogenerators
WHEREAS, PREPA is included by EPA as one of the 100 dirtiest power plants in terms of sulfur dioxide
and particulate emissions,
WHEREAS, the installment of appropriate enforceable limitations is the only mechanism available in Puerto
Rico to protect its citizens from acid rain and sulfur dioxide emissions because PREPA is exempted to
comply with the tittle IV program provisions
WHEREAS, PREPA has made significant modifications and capital investments and no longer qualifies to
be exempted to comply with the New Source Performance Standards,
WHEREAS, Puerto Rico must be treated as a state,
Be it resolved that EPA should take the following actions,
1. To request the Puerto Rico Commonwealth State to revise its State Implementation Plan in order to
establish the .1lbs/BMTU Federal emission limitation of particulate, and the appropriate sulfur dioxide
emission limitation for the entire island including the non attainment area,
2. To request PREPA to establish a continuous SOx emission monitoring mechanism
3. To request PREPA to fire a residual oil with a sulfur content no higher than .5 percent in all of its plants.

RESOLUTION ON "CREDIBLE DETERRENCE" CIVIL PENALTIES:
CAPTURING THE ECONOMIC BENEFIT OF NONCOMPLIANCE =
Whereas, "Capturing the Economic Benefit" means that when a penalty is assessed against an
environmental violator, a significant part of the assessment is calculating the costs avoided as a result of
non-compliance, plus the interest earned on money as a result of delayed compliance; and
Whereas, Examples of economic benefit from noncompliance include delayed and avoided pollution control
expenses, delayed and avoided installation, operation, and maintenance costs of pollution control
equipment, and delayed and avoided costs of one-time acquisitions needed for compliance; and
Whereas, under U.S. EPA Policy and many federal environmental laws and regulations, one of the major
considerations in calculation of any proposed penalty assigned to a violator is the question of what the
economic benefit was to the violator; and
Whereas, the underlying policy consideration is that the penalty burden must be at least as great as the
benefit of the violation or there would be no reason to comply;
and
Whereas, the EPA Strategic Plan, Goal 9, calls for the Agency to provide a "credible deterrent to pollution
and greater compliance with the law";
We hereby resolve that:
> EPA Penalty Policy which requires that penalties should include the component of economic benefit
should be complied with at the national, regional, and state level.
•• Technical assistance in calculating the economic benefit (EBN calculation training) should be provided
to all enforcement authorities who assert that they can't do it because they don't know how.
> A model penalty policy that includes providing for the calculation of economic benefit should be made
available to all enforcement authorities who assert that they can't do it because they don't have such
a penalty policy.
> Any enforcement authority asserting that their laws prevent them from calculating the economic benefit
should be required to provide an Attorney General's (or the equivalent) certification to that effect.
•• EPA Regional Officials should consider taking independent enforcement actions against facilities in
cases where state assessed penalties do not recover substantial economic benefits of noncompliance.
> A requirement of capturing the economic benefit should be incorporated as part of the Memoranda of
Agreement with the Regions, or EPA's Performance Partnership Agreements with the delegated
agencies, or through any other delegation agreements.
> To establish credible deterrence it should be made clear that agencies are delegated legal authority to
establish general pollution control requirements consistent with federal statutory mandates and EPA
policies and that as to capturing the economic benefit, they will not be allowed to sink below the
minimum.
RESOLUTION ON EPA TO AMEND ITS ECONOMIC INCENTIVE PROGRAM (EIP)
REGULATIONS TO INCLUDE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE CONSIDERATIONS
AND REQUIREMENTS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^=^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^=
WHEREAS, the EPA is advocating both environmental justice as a means to reduce pollution in
communities of color and pollution trading as a cost-effective method to reduce pollution.
WHEREAS, the EPA has adopted Economic Incentive Program (EIP) regulations which establish
approvability requirements for pollution trading programs.
A-3
-------
WHEREAS, the EIP regulations currently do not include safeguards sufficient to prevent adverse
environmental justice impacts, including the creation of toxic hot spots in communities of color.
WHEREAS, the Assistant Administrator of the Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) has met with the NEJAC
Enforcement Subcommittee to discuss environmental justice concerns related to emissions trading, and
appeared generally receptive to the concerns raised by the NEJAC.
WHEREAS, the NEJAC recognizes the willingness of EPA OAR to continue to have a dialogue with the
NEJAC until these issues are resolved.
WHEREAS, certain pollution trading programs have the potential to create, perpetuate or exacerbate air
pollution toxic hot spots in communities of color by allowing facilities in those communities to increase or
continue emissions.
WHEREAS, certain pollution trading programs allow facilities to increase or continue emissions of highly
toxic chemicals, due to offsets obtained from decreases in less toxic chemical emissions, thereby resulting
in a net increase in airborne toxicity.
WHEREAS, since stationary source polluters are often disproportionately located in communities of color,
while mobile source pollution is widely distributed geographically, mobile to stationary source pollution
trading has the potential to create or exacerbate toxic hot sports.
WHEREAS, pollution trading programs require accurate quantification of emissions reduced and increased
through the program, and such quantification is particularly difficult in the case of mobile source trading
programs.
WHEREAS, pollution credits should only be granted for emission reductions that are real, surplus, and
quantifiable, and pollution credits should therefore not be granted for emission reductions that would have
resulted even in the absence of the pollution trading program.
WHEREAS, economic modeling tools exist that allow agencies to predict the probable geographic and
demographic impact of pollution trading programs, including the location of probable pollution credit
purchasers and sellers.
WHEREAS, a fundamental principle of the environmental justice movement is that communities affected
by pollution must be allowed to participate in decisions affecting their environment.
BE IT RESOLVED THAT NEJAC urges EPA to Amend the EIP Regulations to:
> Prohibit the trading of toxic air pollutants, as defined in the Emergency Planning and Community Right-
to-Know Act if the result would be adverse health or environmental impactfe) in an environmental justice
community, and unless EPA requires the states to develop adequate quantification protocols that must
be reviewed and approved by EPA into an enforceable state implementation plan (SIP) prior to trading
plan implementation to ensure accurate quantification of pollutants to be traded and to ensure
enforceability and verifiability.
•• If trading of toxic chemicals is allowed, prohibit emissions trading that will result in an increase in toxic
chemical pollution in already overburdened communities, taking into account cumulative pollution risks.
If trading of toxic chemicals is allowed, require implementing agency to consider selective toxicity of
specific chemicals being traded, and to prohibit trading that will expose the public to unacceptable risk.
> Prior to approval of any pollution trading program, require the agency proposing the program to conduct
an economic analysis similar comparable to the model prepared by the Regional Economic Modeling,
Inc. (REMI) to determine the location of probable emission credit purchasers and sellers. Require the
agency to overlay the REMI analysis with demographic information to determine whether the proposed
trading program will have an adverse impact on communities of color. Prohibit emissions trading
programs that are predicted to have an adverse impact on communities of color.
A-4
-------
> Require that at a minimum, all facilities must install technology-based controls defined as reasonably
available control technology (RACT) under the Clean Air Act, and prohibit trading that allows companies
to avoid installing RACT.
> Require all emissions trading programs to incorporate public participation components that include
notification to affected communities of any trade that will result in an increase or continuation of toxic
chemical pollution, and allow the affected communities a reasonable opportunity to review and comment
upon said adverse impacts. Require the responsible agency to retain discretion to revise or reject the
proposed pollution trade based upon comments received.
> Prohibit mobile-to-stationary source trading where the result would be adverse health or environmental
impact(s) in an environmental justice community, and unless EPA requires the states to develop
adequate quantification protocols that must be reviewed and approved by EPA into an enforceable state
implementation plan (SIP) prior to trading plan implementation to ensure accurate quantification of
pollutants to be traded and to ensure enforceability and verifiability.
> EPA should retain requirements in found in the emissions trading policy statement regulation requiring
a portion of the economic benefit resulting from pollution trading to benefit the public through increased
emission reductions.
RESOLUTION ON EPA TO ADOPT A NATIONAL POLICY PROHIBITING
FEDERAL RECOGNITION OF STATE-ISSUED VARIANCES —
WHEREAS, the Region IX of the EPA is considering whether to grant federal recognition of state-issued
variances from Title V permit requirements, and has proposed to recognize such variances in cases of
malfunction, start-up, shut-down, and maintenance;
WHEREAS, the federal recognition of these variances would preclude both federal and community
enforcement of the federal Clean Air Act where violations have been documented, and thus provide a
disincentive to compliance with Clean Air Act requirements;
WHEREAS, since stationary source polluters are disproportionately located in communities of color,
issuance of variances to stationary sources will result in a disproportionate impact on these communities;
WHEREAS, the issuance of variances can result in increased impacts to public health from emissions of
air toxics at levels above permit requirements and above those levels which have been analyzed for their
impact to public health;
WHEREAS, the issuance of variances could impede reasonable further progress on attainment of federal
air quality standards;
WHEREAS, Clean Air Act case law only allows for permit modifications after amendment to the appropriate
State Implementation Plan;
WHEREAS, EPA enforcement policy takes into consideration problems such as malfunction, start-up, and
shutdown procedures as mitigating factors to penalties assessed for violations;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
NEJAC urges EPA to adopt a national policy which:
•• Prohibits federal recognition of variances from Clean Air Act requirements, except for variances resulting
in more stringent levels of control at the facility;
> Acknowledges that existing federal enforcement policies consider the nature of a violation and factors
such as malfunction, start-up, shut-down, and maintenance as mitigating factors in determining the
appropriate federal enforcement response.
A-5
-------
Requires consultation with NEJAC before consideration or approving any variance policy, by
EPA or any of its regions.

rights of Indigenous Peoples on the basis of equality and non-discrimination, recognizing the value of
their distinct identities, cultures and social organization;
WHEREAS, the international community has recognized the spiritual relationship between Indigenous
Peoples and their lands and territories, notably through International Labor Organization Convention no. 169
and numerous special studies;
WHEREAS, other United Nations studies have found that Indigenous lands are being subjected to
unprecedented development and frequently resultant irreparable environmental damage;
WHEREAS, the Right to Development is a right of Peoples in which the enjoyment of self determination and

RESOLUTION TO URGE EPA TO REQUEST THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE AND THE UNITED
STATES TRADE REPRESENTATIVE COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF EXECUTIVE ORDER 12898
AND THAT THEY PROVIDE ASSISTANCE IN ADDRESSING ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ISSUES
RAISING TRANSBOUNDARY AND INTERNATIONAL ISSUES —
WHEREAS, Presidential Executive Order 12898, entitled "Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice
in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations," directs that "each Federal agency shall make
achieving environmental justice part of its mission by identifying and addressing, as appropriate,
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of its programs, policies, and
activities on minority populations and low-income populations in the United States and its territories and
possessions, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the Commonwealth of
Mariana Islands;" and
WHEREAS, some international border areas, including areas of the U.S./Mexico border, are heavily
populated on both sides of the border; and
WHEREAS, victims of disproportionate pollution impacts and environmental injustice resulting from
international trade and commerce along the border area include American citizen people of color, poor
people, Indigenous Peoples as well as other residents of the United States; and
WHEREAS, public comments and discussions at a recent "Roundtable on Environmental Justice Issues on
the U.S./Mexico Border" (Border Roundtable), sponsored by the NEJAC International Subcommittee and
EPA in San Diego, California (April 19-21), have made clear that there are significant pollution and other
environmental issues affecting low-income, minority, and indigenous populations along the U.S./Mexico
border area; and
WHEREAS, the political disenfranchisement of and environmental burdens on low-income, minority, and
indigenous populations residing in border areas, such as the U.S./Mexico border region, are exacerbated
by the lack of political and legal accountability of polluting facilities located outside of the United States; and
WHEREAS, Executive Order 12898 does not specifically mention the State Department and the U.S. Trade
Representative's Office as Federal agencies within the scope of the Executive Order; and,
WHEREAS, some of the potential impacts of programs, policies, and activities of the State Department and
the U.S. Trade Representative's Office clearly fall within the scope of the activities that Executive Order
12898 was intended and designed to address; and
A-7
-------
WHEREAS, Executive order 13141 entitled Environmental Review of Trade Agreements, specifically calls
for careful assessment and consideration of the environmental impacts of trade agreements such as those
disproportionate impacts contemplated by Executive Order 12898; and,
WHEREAS, Executive Order 13141 requires environmental reviews and public comment on the
environmental impacts of trade agreements in the United States, and where appropriate and prudent, on
global and transboundary impacts; and,
WHEREAS, the NEJAC believes that it is imperative for all agencies whose programs, policies, and activities
with a potential impact on low-income, minority, and indigenous populations engage in discussions about
and substantively work on efforts to achieve the President's expressed goal of promoting environmental
justice for such populations; and
WHEREAS, the State Department and the U.S. Trade Representative's Office can incorporate
environmental justice concerns into their missions through existing environmental and human rights offices;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
NEJAC urges the EPA Administrator to:
> Request that the Secretary of State and the United States Trade Representative comply with and further
the provisions of and policies expressed in Executive Order 12898 and Executive Order 13141; and
•• Request participation, in accordance with the provisions of Executive Order 12898, by the Secretary of
State and the United States Trade Representative in the Interagency Working Group on Environmental
Justice; and
> Request the Secretary of State and the United States Trade Representative to prepare an
Environmental Justice Strategy, in accordance with the provisions of Executive Order 12898; and
•• Seek designation by the President, in accordance with Sections 1-102 and 6-604 of Executive Order
12898, of the State Department and the United States Trade Representative's Office as agencies
participating in the Interagency Working Group under Executive Order 12898 and covered by its
provisions; and
> Develop, in cooperation with the Secretary of State, the United States Trade Representative, and the
Council for Environmental Quality, criteria and methodologies for considering the transboundary
environmental impacts on racial minority, low-income, and indigenous populations in the areas covered
by Executive Order 12898 by the international activities of Federal agencies, including negotiation of
international trade and other agreements.
> Request assistance from the Secretary of State in resolving concerns, such as the ones raised by
various community organizations at the "Roundtable on Environmental Justice on the U.S./Mexico
Border" (August 19-21, 1999, San Diego, California), concerning environmental degradation and
pollution at the border as well as transboundary impacts of pollution.
RESOLUTION TO ADDRESS COMMUNITIES AT RISK FROM THE ATLANTIC CITY/
BRIGANTINE CONNECTOR TUNNEL PROJECT, ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY=
WHEREAS, South Jersey Transportation Authority, in conjunction with the New Jersey Department of
Transportation is constructing the Atlantic City/Brigantine Connector Tunnel.
WHEREAS, the Atlantic City Tunnel, will bisect the Atlantic City communities of the First Ward, Second
Ward, Third Ward, Fourth Ward, and Venice Park area of Atlantic City, all of which consists of predominantly
African-American residents.
WHEREAS, the Atlantic City Tunnel route has resulted in the relocation and displacement of homeowners
that resided on the selected route.
A-8
-------
WHEREAS, the Atlantic City Tunnel route traverses within 25 feet of the remaining residents.
WHEREAS, soils that will be excavated for the construction of the Atlantic City Tunnel are contaminated with
heavy metals, petroleum-related compounds, and other organic and inorganic substances at levels in
excess of health-based standards established by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
and 152,000 cubic yards of these soils will be reuse on site.
WHEREAS, the South Jersey Transportation Authority has rejected the request of community residents for
controls ensure that contaminants in the soils do not migrate to the adjacent communities, such as air
monitoring - on-site and off-site - of the contaminants found in the soils, continuous engineering controls,
and covering of the soils.
WHEREAS, excavation of has continued for 9 months and community residents have begun to complain
of respiratory difficulties since the beginning of construction - including the triggering of dormant asthma.
WHEREAS, analysis performed by South Jersey Transportation Authority and the New Jersey Department
of Transportation acknowledge the possibility that there could be hot spots of carbon monoxide, particulates
and sulfur dioxide in areas adjacent to the tunnel.
WHEREAS, the South Jersey Transportation Authority and the New Jersey Department of Transportation
have rejected the request of community residents to install air control devices to address the emissions from
vehicles using the tunnel and air monitoring of the emissions for a short time period after the tunnel is
constructed to ensure local air quality does not create risk to the adjacent communities.
WHEREAS, South Jersey Transportation Authority has failed to address numerous other issues identified
by community residents, including the potential for flooding, safety, and structural damage to homes.
WHEREAS, the Atlantic City Tunnel is funded by the State of New Jersey, administered by one of its
agencies, and is to serve a casino that is supported by and would directly benefit the City of Atlantic City and
the State of New Jersey.
WHEREAS, the unresponsiveness by all state agencies requires the intervention by the USEPA to prevent
irreversible damage to health of community residents and the local communities.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the National Environmental Justice Advisory Council calls upon
USEPA to IMMEDIATELY, through its Region II Offices, facilitate the convening of all parties, including the
South Jersey Transportation Authority, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, and the New
Jersey Department of Transportation, to address the immediate issues of exposure of community residents
to contaminated soil during construction activities, and other issues of potential impact to the community
residents after construction, such as flooding, and safety.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the National Environmental Justice Advisory Council calls upon USEPA,
in consultation with the US Department of Transportation, to convene a meeting of NJ Department of
Transportation and South Jersey Transportation Authority, to address the long term air quality issues
associated with tunnel.
