Notes

1. Scholars have shown that EJ activists widely challenge the epistemic authority of scientists (Allen 2003, 2004; Brown 2007; Collins and Evans 2002; Di Chiro 1998; Espeland 1998; Hannigan 2006; Harrison 2011; Hess 2007; Irwin 2001; Jasanoff 1990; Kinchy 2012; Kroll-Smith and Floyd 1997; Kurtz 2007; K. Moore 2008; Ottinger 2013; Tesh 2001; Wynne 1992).

2. Other environmental regulatory agencies’ mission statements track close to this. For example, for California EPA, “Our mission is to restore, protect and enhance the environment, to ensure public health, environmental quality and economic vitality” (CalEPA 2017b).

3. Please see the appendix for a few notes about this dataset and the methods used to analyze these data.

4. Egalitarian principles are not the only ideas of justice that EJ staff and other EJ advocates hold. I discuss egalitarianism here because it is a central principle of EJ activism and to illustrate how EJ advocates’ conceptions of justice differ from the utilitarianism underlying much environmental law and staff resistance to EJ reforms. EJ advocates’ complex conception of justice includes participatory parity and requires that government agencies combat group-based cultural oppression and its consequences (Harrison 2011, 2014; Schlosberg 2007; Walker 2012).
