Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This layer represents the geographic areas 1-3 below. Category 4, tribal lands, are in the other layer.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>In this designation, CalEPA formally designated four categories of geographic areas as disadvantaged:</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>1. Census tracts receiving the highest 25 percent of overall scores in CalEnviroScreen 4.0 (1,984 tracts).</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>2. Census tracts lacking overall scores in CalEnviroScreen 4.0 due to data gaps, but receiving the highest 5 percent of CalEnviroScreen 4.0 cumulative pollution burden scores (19 tracts).</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>3. Census tracts identified in the 2017 DAC designation as disadvantaged, regardless of their scores in CalEnviroScreen 4.0 (307 tracts).</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>4. Lands under the control of federally recognized Tribes. For purposes of this designation, a Tribe may establish that a particular area of land is under its control even if not represented as such on CalEPA’s DAC map and therefore should be considered a DAC by requesting a consultation with the CalEPA Deputy Secretary for Environmental Justice, Tribal Affairs and Border Relations at TribalAffairs@calepa.ca.gov. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
