Epa At Thirty: Fairness In Environmental Protection, Eileen Gauna Jul 2001

Epa At Thirty: Fairness In Environmental Protection, Eileen Gauna

Faculty Scholarship

This Article looks at how EPA is managing the fairness issue in a discrete but highly charged context: permit issuances that affect heavily impacted communities. This Article first provides a discussion of how fairness-oriented reform might evolve within the permit process. This section also examines permit issuances that were appealed to the U.S. Environmental Appeals Board (EAB) on environmental justice grounds. Proceeding one step beyond environmental law, the Article looks at how EPA is responding to claims of disparate impact under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. However, rather than focus on the intricacies of legal doctrine under Title …

A Survey Of Federal Agency Responses To President Clinton’S Executive Order Number 12898 On Environmental Justice, Eileen Gauna, Denis Binder, Colin Crawford, M. Casey Jarman, Alice Kaswan, Catherine A. O'Neill, Clifford Rechtschaffen, Bradford C. Mank, Robert R.M. Verchick

Faculty Scholarship

In an effort to address the well-documented and serious problem of environmental justice in the United States, President William J. Clinton issued Executive Order (EO) No. 128981 on February 11, 1994. The EO represented the culmination of a century of rapid changes in society's attitudes toward the placement of hazardous facilities in poor, disadvantaged, and minority communities, as well as the denial of services to these communities. This survey examines the impact of the EO on federal agencies. Environmental justice is not a problem unique to the late 20th century. Majoritarian societies have historically discriminated against minority groups.3 For example, …

Learning Through Service In A Clinical Setting: The Effect Of Specialization On Social Justice & Skills Training, Antoinette M. Sedillo Lopez Jan 2001

Learning Through Service In A Clinical Setting: The Effect Of Specialization On Social Justice & Skills Training, Antoinette M. Sedillo Lopez

Faculty Scholarship

Arguing against the trend toward specialization in clinical legal education, this essay addresses potential limitations of specialized legal clinics in furthering the dual mission of clinical legal education: social justice and skills training. It points out that specialized clinics limit access to justice by leaving the myriad needs of clients partially unmet. They limit students' learning about the complex needs of clients and students' ability to discover broad inequities in the legal system. Specialization makes it more difficult to train students to be creative problem solvers, and affects their professional socialization

The Environmental Justice Misfit: Public Participation And The Paradigm Paradox, Eileen Gauna Jan 1998

The Environmental Justice Misfit: Public Participation And The Paradigm Paradox, Eileen Gauna

Faculty Scholarship

This Article argues that current administrative processes fail to effectively incorporate an important form of public participation in decision-making -- the participation by communities bearing the greatest environmental risks. This Article advocates an "environmental justice style" public participation model as a more promising approach because it calls for a recasting of the role of community participation in environmental decision-making -- a recasting which transcends traditional, modern, and proposed decision-making paradigms.Part II of this Article provides a brief history of the environmental justice movement. Part III addresses the role of the public under three models of administrative policy and decision-making: the …

Major Sources Of Criteria Pollutants In Nonattainment Areas: Balancing The Goals Of Clean Air, Environmental Justice, And Industrial Development, Eileen Gauna Jul 1996

Major Sources Of Criteria Pollutants In Nonattainment Areas: Balancing The Goals Of Clean Air, Environmental Justice, And Industrial Development, Eileen Gauna

Faculty Scholarship

If an area is suffering from economic decay as well as unhealthy air, should new facilities -- and more pollution -- be allowed into the area anyway? If so, the result is that impoverished areas are afforded less environmental protection.This article addresses an important aspect of this dilemma: under what circumstances, if any, should a facility which will emit large amounts of air pollution be allowed to locate or expand operations in areas of existing poor air quality? Part II of this article provides a brief historical explanation of the Clean Air Act as it pertains to major stationary sources. …

Federal Environmental Citizen Provisions: Obstacles And Incentives On The Road To Environmental Justice, Eileen Gauna Jan 1995

Federal Environmental Citizen Provisions: Obstacles And Incentives On The Road To Environmental Justice, Eileen Gauna

Faculty Scholarship

This article attempts to examine the special problems that community-based groups in low income and minority communities might encounter in prosecuting citizen suits under highly technical environmental statutes. To set the context for this inquiry, part II of this article describes the environmental justice movement and investigates the charge that communities of color are disproportionately and unjustly burdened with environmental hazards. Part II also explores the differences in perspective that underlie much of the conflict among environmental justice activists, mainstream environmental organizations, and EPA. Part II concludes with a look at social forces that have contributed to environmental inequities and …
