To be meaningful, environmental justice (EJ) considerations must be integrated into everyday program planning and development at DPR. This requires an EJ strategy and implementation plan consistent with DPR’s Strategic Plan and operational plans.

In 10 meetings from July 2006 to April 2007, DPR met with an informal advisory group to solicit recommendations on an EJ strategy and implementation plan. The meetings were open to the public and meeting agendas and minutes posted on DPR’s Web site for review and comment by interested parties. In June 2007, the workgroup recommendations were finalized. They are posted below.

The workgroup discussions and recommendations will guide DPR staff in crafting working draft documents, which will be posted on this page and sent out on our EJ listserver for public comment. (To sign up to be notified, see the top of this page.) After revisions in response to public comments, the strategy and workplan will be reviewed by the Intra-Agency Working Group on Environmental Justice before being finalized.
