  • X-topic: Introductions/Goals
Steve's issue regarding equal access is key. Only rarely do citizens have the resources to hire the experts and other consultants that would enable them to effectively influence agency decision-making, especially in areas as complex as most EPA decisions. I would suggest that the goal be amended to "foster...EFFECTIVE, equal and open access...for all interested parties." In later days I'll suggest some means to accomplish this.

I also agree with Steve's suggested amended requiring that community-based information be investigated by EPA.
