Appendix A Excerpts from the Border 2012 Program Mission Statement As a result of the partnership among federal, state, and local governments in the United States and Mexico, and with U.S. border tribes, the mission of the Border 2012 program is to protect the environment and public health in the U.S.-Mexican border region, consistent with the principles of sustainable development. In this program, sustainable development is defined as “conservation-oriented social and economic development that emphasizes the protection and sustainable use of resources, while addressing both current and future needs and present and future impacts of human actions.” Border 2012 Guiding Principles The following principles are designed to support the mission statement, ensure consistency among all aspects of Border 2012, and continue successful elements of previous border programs: • Reduce the highest public health risks, and preserve and restore the natural environment • Adopt a bottom-up approach for setting priorities and making decisions through partnerships with state, local, and U.S. tribal governments • Address disproportionate environmental impacts in border communities • Improve stakeholder participation and ensure broad-based representation from the environmental, public health, and other relevant sectors 71
Improving Transboundary Air Quality with Binational Emission Reduction Credit Trading • Foster transparency, public participation, and open dialogue through the provision of accessible, accurate, and timely information • Strengthen the capacity of local community residents and other stakeholders to manage environmental and environmentrelated public health issues • Achieve concrete, measurable results while maintaining a long-term vision • Measure program progress through development of environmental and public health-based indicators • The United States recognizes that U.S. tribes are separate sovereign governments, and that equity issues impacting tribal governments must be addressed in the United States on a government-to-government basis • Mexico recognizes the historical debt it has with its indigenous peoples; therefore, appropriate measures will be considered to address their specific concerns, as well as to protect and preserve their cultural integrity within the broader environmental purposes of this program Goals and Objectives Goal #1: Reduce Water Contamination • Objective 1 by 2012, promote a 25% increase in the number of homes connected to potable water supply and wastewater collection and treatment systems • Objective 2 by 2012, assess significant shared and transboundary surface waters and achieve a majority of water quality standards currently being exceeded in those waters • Objective 3 by 2006, implement a monitoring system for evaluating coastal water quality at the international border beaches; by the end of 2006, establish a 2012 objective toward meeting coastal water quality standards of both countries • Objective 4 by 2005, promote the assessment of water system conditions in 10% of the existing water systems in the border cities to identify opportunities for improvement in overall water system efficiencies 72
