Abstract
The social movement that began as a challenge to environmental racism in the siting of hazardous waste facilities has evolved into a struggle against disparities in environmental risks across all populations. The convergence of these movements dilutes the ability of minority communities to focus attention on, and seek redress for, environmental racism. The Equal Protection Clause remains a viable avenue for remedying environmental racism and should not be ignored. This Article contends that the intent standard mandated by the United States Supreme Court in Washington v. Davis should be expanded to address racially discriminatory siting of hazardous waste facilities.
