On September 14, 2020, the Council on Environmental Quality’s final rule updating its regulations implementing the procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (40 CFR § 1500—1508) took effect. The final rule makes numerous changes, both small and large, to the previous regulations which had only minor revisions since being issued in 1978.

This webinar will feature presentations by a panel of distinguished NEPA authorities who will address various aspects of the new regulations from a range of perspectives. The presentations will be followed by an open discussion/Q&A session.

Environmental Justice: Assessing Social and Health Impacts On Vulnerable Populations

February 18, 2021

Speakers

Dr. Leticia Solaun
Charlie Webb, Jacobs
Greg Wolffe, Yorke

Moderator

Karalyn Lubold, BS, MS


Environmental health and justice are finally making their way to the forefront of environmental protection. In this webinar, our expert panel will give an overview of the latest analysis techniques and demonstrate their value through case studies.

Leticia (Leti) Solaun will provide an overview of environmental justice precepts, tools, and basis for social impact analyses.

Greg Wolffe will address a case study in Los Angeles County (County) initiated the Green Zones Program (Program) in 2015 to enhance public health and land use compatibility in unincorporated communities. Health Impact Assessment (HIA) which has become an important mechanism for understanding the whole impact of a project as it relates to affected communities and demographics. The use of HIA is an emerging practice intended to increase the understanding of the human health consequences in the evaluation of public policy and decision-making by stakeholders.

Charlie Webb will talk about the challenges for project-level NEPA practitioners of assessing issues that go beyond the scope of the project for which they are assessing impacts. Interstate construction in urban areas was very impactful to the environmental health of urban neighborhoods around the country in the 1960s and 1970s. As these freeways age and require reconstruction, project sponsors are being asked to acknowledge and in some cases address decades-old impacts that go beyond the footprint of the project or relate to program-level budget decisions.

Tune in to to learn the details about the basic principles and decisions subject to HIA, what was evaluated, the data used, and how the HIA incorporates quality of life and health parameters, such as background air quality, access to recreation and open space, general mobility, and other factors, particularly for vulnerable subgroups and communities within the affected population.
