Feel like your concerns aren’t being heard? PA has your back.
The PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Office of Environmental Justice (OEJ) is nearing the end of a nine-stop Environmental Justice listening tour, focusing on engaging residents and leaders in DEP’s decision-making process. This is their way to involve residents in communities that may not fit the traditional definition of an environmental justice area (AKA minority population and income levels).
Tomorrow, on May 25 from 4 p.m. – 6 p.m., the DEP is asking for input Environmental Justice issues. Join the session at Fairmount Water Works (640 Water Works Drive, Philadelphia, PA 19130). We even included the list of questions below so you can prepare notes.
Can’t make the session? Submit comments via email until May 25 to DEP-OEJ@pa.gov .
