To Member Representatives of the Illinois Environmental Regulatory Group and Members of the Air, Land, and Water Workgroups:
Please find attached the meeting summary of IERG’s Meeting on October 31, 2013, with Illinois EPA regarding its revised Environmental Justice Public Participation Policy. IERG Staff will continue to monitor the Agency’s efforts and offer suggestions to the Agency on implementation, and asks that you continue to keep us informed of your experiences with the program so that we may do so. Further, IERG Staff also asks for your input on whether the Members believe we should be more aggressive in urging IEPA to seek legislative authority and/or promulgate rules so that everyone will know how the program will work. If you have any questions, please email Alec Messina at amessina@ierg.org, or call him at 217-522-5512, extension 289.
