Office of Enforcement and Compliance (OECA) Acting Administrator Starfield issued a memo laying out four strategies to improve environmental enforcement in EJ communities: increasing facility inspections, crafting settlement agreements that remediate pollution and address past harms, improving engagement with affected communities, and where necessary, stepping in to ensure enforcement where state and local regulators fall short. These initiatives will be coordinated by a new Enforcement Steering Committing.
