§ 6007. Environmental justice mapping tool

(a) The Agency of Natural Resources shall create and maintain the State environmental justice mapping tool. The Agency, in consultation with the Environmental Justice Advisory Council and the Interagency Environmental Justice Committee, shall determine indices and criteria to be included in the State mapping tool to depict environmental justice focus populations and measure environmental burdens at the smallest geographic level practicable.

(b) The Agency of Natural Resources may cooperate and contract with other states or private organizations when developing the mapping tool. The mapping tool may incorporate federal environmental justice mapping tools, such as EJSCREEN, as well as existing State mapping tools such as the Vermont Social Vulnerability Index.

(c) On or before January 1, 2027, the mapping tool shall be available for use by the public as well as by the State government. (Added 2021, No. 154 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff. May 31, 2022; amended 2023, No. 181 (Adj. Sess.), § 42, eff. June 17, 2024.)
