ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-5207-2]


Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability 
Act (CERCLA) or Superfund, Section 104; Announcement of Public 
Dialogues on Urban Revitalization and Brownfields

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of the Series of Public Dialogues on Urban 
Revitalization and Brownfields: Envisioning Healthy and Sustainable 
Communities.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The National Environmental Justice Advisory Council's (NEJAC) Waste 
and Facility Siting Subcommittee and the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA) will convene a series of public dialogues on environmental 
justice issues related to urban revitalization and Brownfields. The 
NEJAC is a body of non-federal experts established to advise EPA on 
environmental justice issues. The NEJAC recognizes the compelling need 
to address the environmental justice concerns that are pivotal to 
issues of urban revitalization and creating healthy and sustainable 
communities. The NEJAC has identified Brownfields clean-up and 
redevelopment as potentially contributing to the urban revitalization 
that is occurring within the environmental justice communities. These 
dialogues will provide an opportunity for grassroots environmental 
justice activists and residents of impacted communities to articulate 
their aspirations, concerns, and recommendations for developing healthy 
and sustainable urban communities--including Brownfields redevelopment. 
Upon completion of these dialogues, the NEJAC will give EPA its formal 
response to the Brownfields Initiative Action Agenda. EPA has committed 
that the dialogues will have a demonstrable role in shaping its 
Brownfields initiatives.
    The public dialogues are titled, ``Urban Revitalization and 
Brownfields: Envisioning Healthy and Sustainable Communities'' and will 
take place during 1995 on (1) Monday, June 5 in Boston, MA, (2) 
Wednesday, June 7 in Philadelphia, PA, (3) Friday, June 9 in Detroit, 
MI, (4) Tuesday, July 18 in San Francisco, CA, and (5) Thursday, July
