This is satire from The Onion, right? What else could explain the U S Department of AGRICULTURE developing ANY plan about the environment, much less one for Environmental Justice?

The best strategy for achieving enviro justice is to eliminate the enviro bureaucrats. When they are incapable of speaking or thinking, the problem will be solved. The issues will be satisfactorily resolved.
Goal 6: Update and/or Develop Departmental and Agency Regulations on Environmental Justice:
The objectives for this goal are to:
The "strategy" is yet another camel's nose under the tent. The real damage will come later on as this giant snowball of class-warfare crap gathers momentum.
Another agency for the GOP to defund/disband.
Thank Congress. They shovel money and authority, hand over fist, at the Executive branch then saunter off and we end up with this crap.
Ain’t FASCISM great!? They even want to know what you think..................(for now)
Geez.
He who controls the meaning of words gets to control the outcome of the debate.
Just what do you mean by “justice”?
“Environmental Justice” means communism.
I hope that all who read this take advantage of the link provided to submit your Public Comment on this non-sense to the USDA. They said that they really want to hear from you and they should. You may want to CC your Rep.
("Title VI") prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving Federal financial assistance .
That would be damn near every farming operation larger than your dozen tomato plants in your backyard.
And they expect this to result in lawsuits...
NOTE: This Strategic Plan is not classified as a rulemaking. It does not create any substantive or procedural right or benefit enforceable at law or equity by a party against USDA, its agencies, instrumentalities, officers, employees, or any other person.
I see the door opening here for a replay of Rhodesia going "Zim" and the handing over of farming operations to "minorities" (Minority-A person who is a member of one of the following population groups: American Indian or Alaskan Native; Asian or Pacific Islander; Black, not of Hispanic origin; or Hispanic.) and illegal aliens (Low-income population-Any readily identifiable group of low-income persons who live in geographic proximity, and, if circumstances warrant, migrant farm workers and other geographically dispersed/transient persons who will be similarly affected by USDA programs or activities.)
They will be the sole "finder of facts" and have absolute authority over the "corrective actions" submitted to Department of Justice.
i Monitoring and Oversight
(1) When CR issues a non compliance letter of findings, CR will monitor the recipient until compliance has been achieved. When corrective actions are completed, the complaint will be closed.
(2) If CR concludes, or the recipient presents adequate documentation that the noncompliance has been corrected prior to or during the complaint investigation, the CR will issue a closure letter. The closure letter must state that a violation existed at the time the investigation commenced but that it was corrected prior to the investigation completion and, as a consequence, the agency is now in compliance based on its voluntary corrective action.
(3) When a recipient refuses to provide CR with data and information necessary to a determination of the recipient's compliance status following CR's receipt of a complaint, CR will notify the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) of the recipient's decision and request action to secure court enforcement of the recipient's obligation to provide access to information necessary to a determination of the recipient's compliance status.
(4) When a recipient refuses to undertake corrective actions set forth in a letter of finding, CR will notify DOJ of the recipient's decision and request enforcement proceeding to secure a court order to require either the recipient's compliance or authority to terminate all USDA financial assistance to the recipient.
It draws "authority" from this...

Yeah, that is gonna work out just peachy, huh?
One more time... handing over of farming operations to "minorities" via their "corrective actions" enforced by Department of Justice.
Minority-A person who is a member of one of the following population groups: American Indian or Alaskan Native; Asian or Pacific Islander; Black, not of Hispanic origin; or Hispanic.) and illegal aliens (Low-income population-Any readily identifiable group of low-income persons who live in geographic proximity, and, if circumstances warrant, migrant farm workers and other geographically dispersed/transient persons who will be similarly affected by USDA programs or activities.)
