Close to residential area
sewage treatment facilities causes environmental risk and harm to my Bayview
Hunters Point Community in SF. The
community’s environmental justice movement is aiming at having the public and
private organizations address this disproportionate burden of risk of exposure to
population in minority and low-income community. The community voices a lot of
environmental justices’ concern to EPA, and I am aware of some existing specific
standard regulations, but compliance remains a big issue. Adopting standard regulations
without inspectors to reinforce the compliance is a waste of time. My option is
that the particular regulatory agency has responsibility to enforce compliance to
reduce environmental air pollution.
Chika, you have wonderful ideas. Try to perhaps reach out to our fellow USF Don, Mayor Breed. Now that she has been re-elected for a full term, she could prove a valuable ally. I do believe that social justice is a core value for her. During her administration would be an excellent opportunity to really spearhead BVHP clean-up.
