The context for community perceptions and environmental justice
Best practices and emerging themes in community engagement in environmental justice
Context: Environmental Inequity in California
There is an established pattern of inequity by race and income for various environmental “negatives” in California.
Studies on:
Transfer, storage and disposal facilities
Toxic release inventory sites Respiratory risk indices from
cumulative exposure layers
For Example:
Pattern of TRI Facilities by Ethnicity, 2000

The Complex View: Multivariate Analysis
Multivariate analysis:
controlling for the effects of several variables such as income and population density
Upon your suggestion, also controlled for urbanization
Upon Your Suggestion, We Controlled for Urban Area
landfill / solid waste
transfer station
waste tire site
percent people of color (+) *** (+) *** (+) ***
per capita income (?) -- (-) * (-) ***
population density (-) * (+) ** (-) ***
urbanized community (-) *** (+) *** (+) ***
*** significant at the .01 level** significant at the .05 level* significant at the .10 level
-- not statistically significant
Probability of hosting an active and permitted:
Logistic Regression Analysis
Waste Facility Data Conclusions
Further analysis still supports the notion that there is inequitable proximity
Even where support in the data is weaker, perceptions of inequitable proximity persist
Better outreach and improved community voice could help with both the reality and the perception
Connecting with the Community
Who was contacted….
Activists and advocates Neighborhood and grassroots
organizations US EPA staff Public participation professionals in Cal
EPA, other agencies and outside government
CONTEXT for community participation:
Participation is built through conflict and collaboration.
Areas for participation: needs assessment, planning, implementation, enforcement and evaluation.
CONTEXT for community participation:
There is often a disconnect between what the community hears and understands
AND
the authority and messages of multi-tiered agencies.
COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
COMMUNITY INPUT COMMUNITY USE
Involvement in processes Program Utilization
InformationCapacityConnectedEngagement
Education of all stakeholders will further community capacity and participation.
Communities want and need more information to better participate.
Technical assistance may be necessary for those with greater needs.
TOOLS for improving community participation: Education
TOOLS for improving community participation: Marketing
Know your audience
A public relations approach to "marketing" or simply disseminating information may not capture the public.
Authentic outreach means communicating, dialog, and engagement with the public.
TOOLS for improving community participation: Diversity
Not all communities are the same, they have different assets and needs.
Targeted and/or prioritized efforts in monitoring, outreach, programming, etc. can help to further EJ work and community participation
OUTCOME of the work
Recognizable results, such as complaint resolution protocols and advisory groups, will be important to build community buy-in.
These actions lead to authentic participation.
Some recommended tools/mechanisms
Accessible use of technology Technical Outreach Services
for Communities Stakeholder Advisory Groups Community-Specific Research Complaint Resolution
Protocols Public Participation Guide
We learned from the research….
Initial best practice research from across the country is consistent with what we have heard in California
We learned from the research….
Quality participation….is good business
