Updates to Environmental Justice Procedures for Camden and Newark Communities

Recent modifications to Environmental Justice (EJ) procedures have been implemented for facilities in Camden Waterfront South and the Ironbound Section of Newark. Local stakeholders will receive notifications for specific applications, including those subject to a State of the Art review or related to facilities of particular interest. The SOP is being revised to notify stakeholders about applications from new facilities. Additionally, the USEPA has issued interim guidance on considering EJ in action development. Stakeholders can access the guidance and provide feedback online.
