Funded by the EPA Office of Water, E2I2 developed a methodology to improve the structure and content of public hearings, the setting of environmental priorities and the process of consultation with community members that included disenfranchised, diverse voices. This process involved the development of a survey mechanism, directed and focused educational materials, a series of workshops, and case studies.
The project resulted in the involvement of low-income and racial minority communities in environmental planning and policy making within their communities.
