=======================================

 

KEY POINTS :

 

 

1) I want a public involvement policy that will encourage early and

meaningful public participation in all aspects of environmental

decision-making.

 

2) I want a public involvement policy that will be followed in all

EPA offices and programs.

 

3) I want a public involvement policy that will recognize and respect

public's knowledge, ideas and proposed solutions.

The public's contribution should influence the decision.

 

4) I want a public involvement policy with public comment sessions

accessible to all (public transportation, child care, handicap access).

Meetings should be held at a time and day that accommodates

working people.
