4 <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to <br /> this agenda item: <br /> • GOAL: ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE LAND-USE AND <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES <br /> The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of people of all races, cultures, incomes <br /> and educational levels with respect to the development and enforcement of <br /> environmental laws, regulations, policies, and decisions. Fair treatment means that no <br /> group of people should bear a disproportionate share of the negative environmental <br /> consequences resulting from industrial, governmental and commercial operations or <br /> policies. <br /> The Path Forward Project to re-examine the Falls Lake Rules is underway, at least in part, <br /> because of the cost that would be incurred by residents in the watershed to comply with the <br /> Rules. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board consider this information <br /> and provide feedback and guidance as desired. <br />
