Support A Critical Environmental Justice Bill

In early April, the Pennsylvania House Environmental and Natural Resources Committee voted to pass House Bill 109 out of committee. This bill would establish a permit review program within the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to consider cumulative impacts of pollutants on environmental justice communities.

Cumulative impacts describe the combined effects people experience from multiple sources of pollution and stressors throughout life. For example, if a gas power plant is proposed in a community that already has pollution from a refinery, impacts from all pollution sources should be considered during permitting. By requiring DEP to consider cumulative impacts in permit reviews, this bill would allow for proposed projects to be reviewed in the context of the community they would be located in.
