In addition, the NEJAC provides a valuable forum for discussions about integrating environmental justice with other EPA priorities and initiatives.The subcommittees are: Air and Water; Enforcement; Health and Research; Indigenous Peoples; International; Puerto Rico; and Waste and Facility Siting.[3] For the past 20 years, NEJAC has provided a valuable forum for discussions about integrating environmental justice into EPA's programs, policies, and activities.[8] Following research and advice provided by the NEJAC and Robert D. Bullard, President Bill Clinton signed Executive Order 12898 in 1994, the purpose of which was to focus federal attention on the environmental and human health effects of federal actions on minority and low-income populations with the goal of achieving environmental justice and protection for all communities.[9][10] This article incorporates public domain material from National Environmental Justice Advisory Council.
