Public Meetings on EJ Considerations for the Development of the LCRI

EPA invites the public to participate in two identical virtual public meetings related to environmental justice and the development of the proposed Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) on October 25, 2022 (1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, EDT) and November 1, 2022 (5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, EDT). Registration is required.

These sessions will provide opportunities for EPA to share information about the upcoming LCRI rulemaking and for individuals to offer input on environmental justice considerations related to the rule. We encourage the public to share thoughts on how to equitably address lead in drinking water issues in their communities.
