MPCA Environmental Justice Plan – We want your feedback!

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency would like your feedback on our draft environmental justice framework. This will be our plan for reducing pollution, increasing livability and preventing harm in historically overburdened communities. Environmental justice means that all people – regardless of their race, color, national origin or income – benefit from equal levels of environmental protection. It also means that we actively seek out the involvement of people who may be affected, increasing our work in certain neighborhoods and communities around the state.

For more information and a copy of this plan, please visit www.pca.state.mn.us/ej

Please provide your feedback on this draft by July 15, 2015. 

Written comments may be submitted to ned.brooks@state.mn.us.  You may also attend a meeting to learn more about this plan and offer your comments in person.  Meetings will begin with an overview of the plan followed by a discussion and comment period.  Meetings are scheduled for:

  • Week of July 6-10
    Daytime meeting and conference call, to be determined, please check web site for details.

 

If you are not able to attend one of these meetings, or would like to request that MPCA staff attend a gathering that you convene, please contact Ned Brooks, MPCA environmental justice coordinator, at ned.brooks@state.mn.us or 651-757-2557.
