美國司法部今天宣布，它已對阿拉巴馬州公共衛生部和朗德茲郡 (Lowndes County) 衛生局的廢水處理計劃和傳染病與病情爆發計劃展開環境司法調查。這項調查是司法部有史以來根據《民權法案》第六章進行的首次環境司法調查。 調查由民權司進行，將會審查阿拉巴馬州公共衛生部和朗德茲郡衛生局實施其廢水就地處理計劃及傳染病與病情爆發計劃的方式，是否構成對朗德茲郡黑人居民的歧視，因而違反 1964 年《民權法案》第六章（以下簡稱“第六章”）。調查還將審查兩個衛生部門的政策和做法是否減少了朗德茲郡黑人居民獲得適當衛生系統服務的機會，並且使他們不成比例和不合理地承擔由於廢水處理不當而受到有害健康影響的風險，例如遭到鉤蟲感染。 “衛生是人類的基本需求之一，在美國，任何人都不應因為欠缺安全有效的污水管理而面臨患病和其他嚴重傷害的風險，”司法部民權司助理檢察長克里斯汀•克拉克 (Kristen Clarke) 說。“根據聯邦民權法律，州和地方衛生官員都有義務保護所有居民的健康和安全。我們將對這些引起關切的環境公平問題及其對阿拉巴馬州整個朗德茲郡人民的健康、生活和安全的影響進行公平、徹底的調查。” 司法部尚未就在這件事上的各種指控達成任何結論。司法部將根據 1964 年《民權法案》第六章進行這項調查。第六章禁止聯邦財政援助的接受者實行基於種族、膚色或原國籍的歧視。第六章授權司法部調查司法部資助金的接受者是否有非法歧視行為。 民權司的聯邦協調與合規科正在設在阿拉巴馬州中區的美國檢察官辦公室的支持下進行這項調查。司法部鼓勵擁有相關資訊的個人發電子郵件給 AL.Lowndes.EJ@usdoj.gov 或者致電 833-739-2103 與聯邦協調與合規科聯繫。 通過執行國家民權法律消除歧視性的環境與健康影響，是民權司的一項首要任務。有關民權司的更多資訊，請造訪其網站，網址是...
