Abstract
|
As custodian of the Nation's natural resources, it is vitally important in our day-to-day activities that we identify and address actions that may have a disproportionately high impact on minority and low-income populations. Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations) outlined an important task for Federal agencies: to ensure no racial, ethnic, cultural or socioeconomic group disproportionately bears the negative environmental consequences resulting from governmental programs, policies, or activities. Executive Order 12898 also asks that these programs, policies, and activities be conducted in a manner that does not have the effects of exclusion or discrimination toward minority, low income, or tribal populations. Executive Order 12898 directed each Federal agency to prepare a plan to integrate environmental justice into its activities.
