Environmental Justice Task Force

The primary role of the SEWRPC Environmental Justice Task Force is to enhance the consideration and integration of environmental justice throughout the regional planning process. The specific purposes of the Task Force are:

1. To further facilitate the involvement of, and help ensure the full and fair participation of, low-income, minority and disabled individuals and communities at all stages in relevant areas of regional planning, as determined in consultation with them
2. To make recommendations on, and help monitor, issues and analyses potentially relevant to the needs and circumstances of low-income, minority and disabled communities in the region;
3. To help identify potential benefits and adverse effects of regional planning programs and activities with respect to minority, low-income and disabled populations;
4. To advise and recommend methods to prevent the denial of, reduction in, or significant delay in the receipt of benefits, and/or to avoid, minimize, or mitigate disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental effects, including social and economic effects, on minority, low-income and disabled populations; and
5. To enhance awareness, understanding, appreciation, support, and implementation of planning recommendations and benefits, with emphasis on the needs of minority, low-income, and disabled populations.
