Due to a lapse in appropriations, EPA websites will not be regularly updated. In the event of an environmental emergency imminently threatening the safety of human life or where necessary to protect certain property, the EPA website will be updated with appropriate information. Please note that all information on the EPA website may not be up to date, and transactions and inquiries submitted to the EPA website may not be processed or responded to until appropriations are enacted.

We've made some changes to EPA.gov. If the information you are looking for is not here, you may be able to find it on the EPA Web Archive or the January 19, 2017 Web Snapshot.

EPA Region 1 Environmental Justice 2017 End-of-Year Report

The Office of Civil Rights and Urban Affairs (OCRUA) and Regional Environmental Justice (EJ) Council are pleased to provide you with a copy of our fiscal year 2017 environmental justice (EJ) highlights. The work described in the attached "Region I Environmental Justice End-of-Year Report," represents only a portion of the significant work performed successfully by staff in support of our statutory mission, of protecting human health and to safeguard the natural environment - air, water, and land.

Region 1 has and will continue to commit resources and advocate for the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people. Moreover, we will continue to strive to reduce overall pollution that may disproportionately impact communities with environmental justice concerns.
