SUMMARY:Environmental Justice Advisory Board Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Environmental Justice Advisory Board Meeting in Johnstown\, PA— August 18  \nPA DEP’s Environmental Justice Advisory Board (EJAB) will host its annual traveling meeting on Thursday\, August 18 from 1-7pm at the Cambria County Library – 248 Main Street\, Johnstown\, PA 15901. The traveling meeting offers EJAB members an opportunity to learn about environmental justice issues in various regions of the commonwealth – this year’s focus is on southwestern Pennsylvania.\nThe meeting is open to the public and will feature presentations from community and non-profit organizations based in southwestern Pennsylvania. Additionally\, there will be updates from DEP on the West Virginia vs. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) decision and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). The meeting will also include a presentation by Johns Hopkins University representatives on their Chester City Air Quality Study.  For the full meeting agenda\, visit the Environmental Justice Advisory Board webpage. \nJoin the Meeting Online:  \nUse this link to join the WebEx meeting online\nEvent number: 2632 487 4376\nEvent password: DMk3s5Bf5Jv\nJoin the Meeting by Phone: \nDial (415) 655-0003\nAccess code: 2632 487 4376\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWestmoreland Sanitary Landfill Air Quality Public Meetings to Be Held Virtually and In-Person  \nWestmoreland Sanitary Landfill\, LLC owns and operates a residual/municipal landfill of the same name located in Rostraver Township\, Westmoreland County. On July 23\, 2022\, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) published a draft air quality plan approval to allow the construction and initial temporary operation of a leachate (liquid that leaches or drains from the landfill) evaporation system at Westmoreland Sanitary Landfill. This approval differs from an operating permit because an operating permit is for long-term operation\, whereas a plan approval allows for temporary operation. This plan approval allows for the construction and temporary operation of the leachate evaporation system\, an air contamination source. \n\nThe DEP will hold two public hearings related to the plan approval:\n\nIn-Person: Wednesday\, August 31\, 2022 at Rostraver Central Fire Department\, 1100 Fells Church Road\, Rostraver Township\, PA 15012 at 6:00pm.\nVirtual: Thursday\, September 1\, 2022 held virtually (online and by phone) via the Webex platform at 6:00pm.\n\nIndividuals who wish to observe or present testimony at either hearing are asked to register in advance by contacting Lauren Fraley at lfraley@pa.gov or 412-442-4203. Registration for the hearing will be taken through 4:00 PM the day before each hearing. Testimony will be limited to three minutes for DEP to receive as many comments as possible. Time may not be relinquished or shared\, and organizations are asked to designate one speaker on its behalf.\nThe public comment period is open through September 12\, 2022. Written comments on the applications can be e-mailed to RA-EPSWROAIRPERMNOTE@pa.gov or mailed to the DEP’s Southwest Regional Office\, Air Quality Program\, 400 Waterfront Drive\, Pittsburgh\, PA 15222 and should contain the name\, address\, email\, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments\, identification of the proposed Plan Approval (PA-65-00767C)\, a short statement\, and the relevant facts upon which the comments are based.\nTo learn more about the Westmoreland Sanitary Landfill\, visit the DEP website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuestions or Comments?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOEJ welcomes your suggestions or inquiries about our work\, programs and/or policies.

SUMMARY:Kindling Faith: A Review of the ELCA Social Statement on Abortion
DESCRIPTION:How do rostered leaders faithfully respond to the Supreme Court decision to rescind Roe v. Wade? \nUnited Lutheran Seminary will host a special virtual event for rostered leaders of the church on Aug. 3 at 7 p.m. \nThe ELCA published a social statement on Abortion in 1991. Lutherans have acknowledged that this is a very complicated issue with ramifications for all its membership. Now that the Supreme Court has overturned the Roe v. Wade precedent\, we need to re-examine our social statement in order to better engage with our ministry contexts in a\nfaithful and transparent manner. United Lutheran Seminary is working with the ELCA Witness in Society team to present this timely review on Aug. 3 at 7 p.m. via Zoom. The cost is $10. Register here.  \nFacilitator: \nThe Rev. Amy Reumann has served in parish ministry\, synod leadership and advocacy ministries before joining\nELCA Witness in Society. She leads federal policy activity in the Washington\, D.C. office\, coordinates with 17 ELCA affiliated state public policy offices\, holds responsibility with the Lutheran Office of World Community presence at the United Nations and oversees the ELCA Corporate Social Responsibility Program. As a master gardener\, she plants seeds literally as well as figuratively.
