The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is soliciting public comments for their draft Strategy to Reduce Lead Exposures and Disparities in U.S. Communities: http://www.epa.gov/.../draft-strategy-reduce-lead... A notable term that's missing from this draft document? Demolition. Mechanical demolition of pre-1978 homes generates lead-containing dust that travels upwards of 400 feet from the site, settling on neighboring homes, gardens, and window sills. The environmental hazards of demolition are disproportionately concentrated in areas with lower median incomes and larger minority and traditionally excluded populations. We need systematic changes to public policy to ensure environmental injustices are truly addressed, and acknowledging that demolition is a lead hazard to communities in this federal strategy is essential to this transition. Organizations that are advocating for safe renovation, deconstruction, and material reuse would be able to go faster and farther with federal leadership, guidance, and support. The teams at Preservation Action and Build Reuse have collaborated to create a resource page dedicated to this comment opportunity that includes: 🔸 Tips for submitting clear and impactful comments 🔸 Links to relevant studies that address the adverse environmental impacts of demolition on communities (if you know of additional ones, share them in the comments!) 🔸 Excerpts from the draft strategy where modifications or additions could be suggested to capture demolition, deconstruction, and/or material reuse, and 🔸 An example comment → www.buildreuse.org/policy Comments are due by March 16, 2022. We encourage you and your networks to submit comments to ensure the EPA has a wealth of perspectives that represent diversity in geography, affiliation, and community needs.

📣A special message from Congresswoman Deb Haaland! Elected to Congress in 2018 as one of the first two Native American women elected to Congress, Congresswoman Deb Haaland (D-NM) has quickly become one of the biggest champions of protecting historic and cultural resources. She serves as Vice Chair of the full House Committee on Natural Resources and Chair of the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands. With her first piece of legislation, she introduced the ANTIQUITIES Act which aims to protect America’s National Monuments from attempts to eliminate or reduce their size. Rep. Haaland also helped lead the effort earlier this year to permanently reauthorize the Land and Water Conservation Fund and establish dedicated funding to address the deferred maintenance backlog at our National Parks and other public lands. She signed on to the Historic Preservation Fund dear colleague letter in 2019 and 2020, which each year called for a record level of funding for the Historic Preservation Fund. She’s also a member of the Historic Preservation Caucus.
