1. In assessing risks in the Oak Grove Neighborhood and other similarly situated neighborhoods across the country, the EPA must consider that a 24/7 exposure to HAPS (Hazardous Air Pollutants) is more likely to occur than in geographic areas where the population is younger and more mobile, the discretionary income is higher and transportation is more accessible. 2. The EPA must put in place a more effective and efficient method of communicating with the affected communities in order to insure excellence in the exchange of relevant, meaningful and timely information. 3. The EPA must, in its monitoring and reporting of "HAPS", consider their source points and processes regardless of industry segment therefore resulting in a high level of confidence in anticipating the likelihood of their occurrence elsewhere. 4. Because the EPA, along with other federal agencies, is charged with affecting environmental justice for all and because an ecological balance is a desired outcome of a sustainable community, the EPA must exercise due diligence in strongly encouraging and promoting resource partnerships (along the lines of SEPs (Supplemental Environmental Projects)) that will significantly accelerate the rate at which the affected community sustainably heals from the wounds inflicted by "HAPS" producing decisions and processes.
