On July 29th, the Department refreshed EJMAP with new stressor data made publicly available since its release on 1/31/24.
Any permit application submitted on or after 7/31/24 must use the new stressor data layer for analysis.
The tool will default to that revised layer. Previous stressor layers remain as archived layers within the tool with its own button for those permit applications received within previous date ranges.
A summary addendum explaining which stressors were updated and other changes on its Office of Environmental Justice website. Information on which data sets were used is included within an updated to the technical guidance document, also on the OEJ website.
