华盛顿（2022 年 10 月 12 日） – 美国国家环境保护局 (EPA) 将举办两场网络公开会议，针对提出的《铅铜改进条例》(LCRI) 的制定，探讨环境正义相关考量并征求公众意见。EPA 将通过这些会议分享即将开展的 LCRI 规则制定的相关信息，同时让个人提出与该条例相关的环境正义方面的意见。 EPA 水务署助理署长 Radhika Fox 说：“为确保在《铅铜改进条例》中确保环境正义，我们努力让受到铅污染负面影响的弱势社区参与进来，这一点至关重要。这是我们制定改进条例的重要一步，也是替换所有铅供水管道的必要步骤，还是拜登–哈里斯政府在‘含铅管道和油漆行动计划’中的承诺。” EPA 致力于保护家庭和社区，让他们免受含铅饮用水的影响。在 LCRI 规则制定流程中，EPA 正在考虑优先保护历来服务欠佳并且负担过重的社区。EPA 计划在 2023 年提出 LCRI 并征求公众意见，并在 2024 年 10 月 16 日前做出最终决议。针对提出的 LCRI 的制定征求公众意见是条例制定流程的关键。 这两次公开会议的内容相同，仅以在线形式举行，时间是 2022 年 10 月 25 日（美国东部夏季时间下午 1-4 点）和 11 月 1 日（美国东部夏季时间下午 5-8 点）。感兴趣的公众可在此注册参加会议，并且有机会报名发表口头意见。EPA 鼓励公众就如何公平解决社区中含铅饮用水的问题分享见解。 EPA 也接受公众通过公开卷宗提交书面意见，网址：http://www.regulations.gov/，卷宗 […]
