The District Governing Board adopted the Environmental Justice Strategy on
August 16, 2007. This comprehensive policy will serve as a roadmap by which the
District will be guided in integrating Environmental Justice principles and augmenting
the steps already taken by the District in reaching out to the community.
The policy is available in
English and
Spanish.
As part of this strategy, the District is currently seeking candidates to fill open
positions for the Tulare County seat and two ethnic small-business owners on the 13-member
Environmental Justice Advisory Group (EJAG).
Interested individuals must submit an EJAG application. The EJAG will work to collaboratively educate
the public and community stakeholders about current District activities and air quality in
general, and will review overarching District programs and strategies to provide feedback.
For additional information on the policy, please contact Maricela
Velasquez at (559) 230-5849 or Claudia Encinas at (559) 230-5851.
