U.S.-Mexico Border 2012 Program
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the availability of the draft document, "Border 2012: U.S.-Mexico Environmental Program" (Border Plan or Border 2012). Border 2012 is a 10-year, binational, results-oriented, environmental program for the U.S.-Mexico border region, which has been developed by the EPA, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Secretar[iacute]a de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (Mexico's Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources), Secretar[iacute]a de Salud (Mexico's Secretar[iacute]a of Health), the U.S. border Tribes, and the environmental agencies from each of the ten U.S.-Mexico border states. The proposed Border 2012 Program is the latest multi-year, binational planning effort to be implemented under the La Paz Agreement and succeeds Border XXI, a five-year program that ended in 2000. The mission of Border 2012 is to protect public health and the environment in the U.S.-Mexico border region, consistent with the principles of sustainable development. EPA is requesting comments from interested parties and border stakeholders on the draft Border Plan.
