Environmental Justice is the “fair treatment for all people of all races, cultures, and incomes, regarding the development of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.”
Executive Order 12898, February 11, 1994

Over the last decade, attention to the impact of environmental pollution on particular segments of our society has been steadily growing. Concern that minority populations and/or low- income populations bear a disproportionate amount of adverse health and environmental effects, led to the issuance of Executive Order 12898 and focusing Federal agency attention on these issues.
