Abstract
The Office of Environmental Justice is committed to assuring that all communities have a full and fair opportunity to participate meaningfully in the environmental decision-making process and receive equal enforcement of protective environmental laws, rules, regulations and policies. This report documents actions taken by Federal departments and agencies to address environmental justice issues including: (1) targeting resources and providing information to the public regarding actions; (2) engaging all stakeholders involved in the environmental justice dialogue in outreach efforts; and (3) initiating effective compliance and enforcement actions. In particular, this report demonstrates, through case studies, that opportunities for achieving environmental justice do exist for community groups, grassroots groups, and industry to work collaboratively with government departments and agencies to address pressing environmental and public health needs.
