The Environmental Justice Advisory Council (EJAC)
to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP)
is appointed by and shall serve as an advisory body to the Commissioner
of the NJDEP. EJAC is committed to the basic tenet set forth by the
Environmental Justice Movement that all communities, regardless of
their racial, ethnic, or economic composition, are entitled to equal
protection from the consequences of environmental hazards. EJAC will
make strategic recommendations to the NJDEP Commissioner to ensure
that the Department develops effective communication programs, implements
and enforces environmental laws, regulations, and policies so that
such actions do not unfairly burden any New Jersey population of
people with a disproportionate share of environmental pollution.
Further, EJAC will strongly encourage the Department to provide a
mechanism for outreach to direct community participation in environmental
decision making.
