Clean Water Action
A top priority for Clean Water Action this year was to pass a bill that strengthens the state’s current Environmental Justice law in Connecticut. We participated in a large coalition, led by EJ leaders, to build momentum for a law that authorizes the state’s environmental agency to include cumulative impacts in decisions to permit a new facility. The bill also gives residents more opportunities to weigh in on decisions for their communities. We’re thrilled that the bill passed on June 9th and will be signed into law!
