Weighing And Balancing Social And Economic Considerations Of Siting Landfills To Address Environmental Justice Concerns, Sharon Shaheen

Student Thesis Honors (1996-2008)

Environmental justice in permitting new landfills is best addressed as one element of many weighed in an agency discretionary decision-making process. Siting landfills necessarily includes consideration of technical, social, economic and political issues. Currently, the landfill permitting process in New Mexico examines only technical, scientific, and geological factors. In effect, a permit must be granted if all of the technical specifications and notice requirements are met. To adequately address all of the impacts on a community when a landfill is sited nearby, an agency should have both the discretion to weigh and balance all relevant factors and the authority to …

South Chattanooga And Chattanooga Creek Floodplain: A Case Study, Maya M. Belka

Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

South Chattanooga, Tennessee, has been the object of numerous investigations due to its large minority population and industrial history. Utilizing the case study approach, the area was examined as both an environmental justice community and home to an active Superfund site. Through legal analysis, historical research, environmental sampling, and government agency assessment, patterns emerged. The patterns provided a means for comparison with other communities in similar situations. The comparisons allowed for the formulation of several recommendations. The community's proximity to the heavily polluted Chattanooga Creek was a key component of the South Chattanooga case study. Chattanooga Creek flows through the …

Water Justice In South Africa: Natural Resources Policy At The Intersection Of Human Rights, Economics, & Political Power, Rose Francis

ExpressO

This paper analyzes water as a social justice issue in South Africa, a nation that has undergone tremendous political and legal transformations over the last fifteen years, but whose population nonetheless continues to suffer from severe inequities in access to freshwater resources. In light of growing water scarcity worldwide, this paper highlights that legal treatment of water resources has significant socioeconomic and distributive justice impacts, even in progressive constitutional democracies that have embraced principles of human rights and international legal norms. The paper explores historical changes in South African water law and evaluates the current political and legal status of …

Environmental Justice, Eileen Gauna, Catherine A. O'Neill, Clifford Rechtschaffen

Faculty Scholarship

This white paper describes briefly the remarkable journey of community-based environmental justice advocates over the last 15 years and their impact on environmental regulation. It will also describe some of the empirical evidence of disparities and the regulatory dynamics that make these inequities an intractable problem, despite the collective efforts of grassroots leaders, environmental justice organizations, public interest law firms, and governmental officials. The paper then focuses on one important set of issues that must be tackled in order to achieve environmental justice: those involving injustice in risk regulation. We strive in this white paper, as allies in this collective …

The Use Of Alternative Dispute Resolution Techniques In The United States Air Force Environmental Conflicts, Nanci R. Pigeon

Theses and Dissertations

The use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in government disputes is mandated by the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act of 1990. The use of ADR to resolve disputes provides a quick and inexpensive resolution versus litigation. The Air Force currently has a very strong ADR program in place to resolve acquisition and workplace disputes. However, the varied conditions and situations of environmental issues have prevented the Air Force from achieving similar success in this area. This research analyzes the experiences of 26 Environmental Conflict Resolution Practitioners who have resolved environmental disputes using ADR techniques. Content analysis and pattern matching were used …
