The relationship between these two movements in the US has historically been one of division and even hostility.
The Letters:

I think I would argue that the ways in which the two movements regard nature is the root cause of the conflict between them.
The environmental movement is simply a bourgeois (classist) fetishisation of what "nature" is, emphasising this 'inherent' value to it, and distinguishing between areas of nature and conservation from areas of living and dwelling. (what Dana Alston refers to as "Paternalistic".
The EJ movement, however, recognises that people dwell within nature, and that marginalised people actually feel the effects of natural catastrophe in a more direct way.
When Wenz says "Anthropocentric" and "Non-anthropocentric", does he mean ecocentric?
Environmentalism
nature, nature as separate from areas of dwelling, inherent value, when affluence fetishizes nature
-
The environmental movement feared that already marginalized concerns for animals and wilderness would be placed even further on the back burner by this seemingly more anthropocentric set of values and terms
whiteness understands 'ecocentricism' purely in the aesthetic.
Both movements originated in the United States, and, as the chapters illustrate, the issues associated with the domestic relationship between them often differ substantially from the issues that arise in international contexts to which they have been exported.

How is science embedded within systems of power to exclude the interests and welfare of racial minorities, as qualitative data is (mis)used against their context

"economic development" generally refers to the growing profits for corporations, achieved through the (mis)use and disregard of land that people inhabit
the power plant only offered 20 jobs, meaning all profits went to the corporation, similarly, farmer thingy

this failure to recognize the abuse of power by corporations against communities is visible in the Michigan government's denial of prosecuting a title vi action
this failure of the state to recognize the abuse of power by corporations against communities that they benefit off of is consistent with the Michigan government's denial of the Title VI allegation, which it used to emphasize that racial exploitation was not a major factor contributing to lead contamination in Flint, Michigan.
