Patrick Joyce was quoted in a June 17 story “EPA Enviro Justice Goals May Affect Future Regs, Settlements” from Law360 on why the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's new technical guidance on how its analysts should incorporate environmental justice principles into their work shows how serious the agency is about applying those principles to its rulemaking and enforcement efforts and could mean new requirements for businesses covered by future EPA rules or settlements. Joyce said the guidance isn’t binding on EPA staffers, but it will likely have a nationwide effect as analysts and rule writers across the agency get a better sense of what they can do to act on environmental justice principles.
