The Environmental Justice Mapping, Assessment and Protection Tool (EJMAP) is designed to support the Department’s efforts to implement the EJ Law through its regulatory and permitting processes. The proposed EJ rule specifies the information that determines areas that are subject to the protections provided by the rules and provides a process for updating the extent of those areas as the information sources underlying the boundaries of the protected areas are updated. The tool reflects in map format the boundaries of the areas determined by application of the provisions contained in the proposed rule and is intended to provide a useful living tool that will be continually updated going forward to ease understanding of what is covered by the rule.
