A Citizen's Guide to Using Federal Environmental Laws to Secure Environmental Justice

This handbook is a companion to a more extensive report, entitled, "Opportunities for Advancing Environmental Justice: An Analysis of U.S. EPA Statutory Authorities", which highlights the provisions in the environmental laws that could be used by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to promote environmental justice. This handbook is written to be a practical guide for community residents who want to know how the environmental laws can be used to promote environmental justice in their communities.
