Environmental Justice Screening Tool Act of 2025 requires EPA to create a mapping tool identifying disproportionately burdened communities.
The Environmental Justice Screening Tool Act of 2025 mandates the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop a geospatial mapping tool, known as the "Environmental Justice Screening Tool," to identify communities disproportionately affected by environmental hazards. The tool will consider various factors, including air quality, access to safe drinking water, proximity to environmental hazards, human health, economic status, and social factors. The EPA must determine thresholds for each category of factors to identify disproportionately burdened communities.
