This report outlines many opportunities for EPA to enhance environmental justice through, and related to, permitting. Although EPA's charge to the Council focused on "types" of permits, the Council's response respectfully shifted the focus to a broader context: cumulative impacts from multiple permits and environmental conditions. Prioritizing environmental justice opportunities by traditional permit type is too narrow to properly address the charge. Thus, this report addresses a broader approach.
