Purpose

The Pollution Prevention (P2) Environmental Justice (EJ) Facility Mapping Tool allows P2 grantees to
identify facilities in areas in or adjacent to communities with EJ concerns. Once users identify an area of
interest and apply filters, the Tool provides a downloadable table with contact information for the
facilities' P2 contacts, if available. This guide walks through the key components of the tool.

Step 1: Focus Map

The map initially displays each state shaded by the number of facilities in that state.

Selecting (clicking) a state will show details for that state, including the location of facilities as well as
shading of Census block groups in the state by the chosen EJ metric.

After zooming in to an area of interest on the map, click anywhere on the map to display two selection
tools - a lasso and a circle - above the map. Click on either of these tools to draw a boundary around a
specific area of interest on the map. Once you select an area, you can apply filters, as described in Step 2.

Circle an area
Lasso an area

Step 2: Apply Filters

After selecting an area with the lasso or circle tool, use
the drop-down lists to filter the data displayed. Doing so will
automatically refresh the entire page with the filtered data.

NEA Sector

Filter for facilities that are in one of the five industrial
sector National Emphasis Areas (NEAs) as defined by
EPA's P2 Grants program.

NAICS Drilldown

Filter based on a sector defined by North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes. After
selecting a sector, click the filter again to further refine
the sector selection.

EJ Metric Selector

Choose the metric to use in shading the Census block
groups* on the map. The metrics available in this Tool include:

•	Demographic Index: Percentile of the Census block group based on the average of Percent People
of Color and Percent Low Income.

•	People of Color: Individuals who list their racial status as a race other than white alone and/or list
their ethnicity as Hispanic or Latino.

•	Low Income: Individuals in households where the household income is less than or equal to twice
the federal poverty level.

•	Less Than HS Education: Individuals aged 25 and over with less than a high school degree.

•	Linguistically Isolated: Households in which no one age 14 and over speaks English "very well" or
speaks English only (as a fraction of households).

Scope Selector

Additionally, indicate whether the shading should be based on U.S. or state percentiles.

80th Percentile Selector

This button automatically filters the results to include only those facilities at or above the 80th percentile
of the chosen EJ metric.

System Filters

This Tool includes facilities in manufacturing and NEA sectors that are in one or more of five EPA data
systems. Select one or multiple systems to limit results to only facilities in the selected system(s):

•	TRI: Facilities that reported to EPA's Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) for 2020.

•	RCRA: Facilities with hazardous waste shipments per EPA's Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA) e-manifest data for July 2020 - July 2021.

•	GHG: Facilities that reported to EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program for 2020.

•	NEI: Facilities included as point sources in EPA's 2017 National Emissions Inventory.

•	Water: Facilities that submitted Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) for direct discharges to
water during 2020 under an EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.

*A block group is an area defined by the U.S. Census Bureau that usually encompasses a range of 600-3,000 people living in it. The
U.S. is divided into more than 200,000 block groups.
