July 31 EJMAP Data Refresh

On July 27th, the Department will refresh EJMAP with new stressor data made publicly available since its release on 4/11/23. Any permit application submitted on or after 7/31/23 must use the new stressor data layer for analysis. The tool will default to that revised layer. The original layer (4/11/23 – 7/30/23) will remain as an archived layer within the tool with its own button for those permit applications received within that date range. The Department will post an addendum to the EJMAP technical guidance explaining which data sets were updated on its Office of Environmental Justice website.
