Accepted features will be added to the Esri basemaps in a subsequent update and will remain in the app for the contributor or others to edit over time. Rejected features will be removed from the app.Esri Community Maps Contributors and other ArcGIS Online users can download accepted features from this layer for their internal use or map publishing, subject to the terms of use below.

The Environmental Justice Communities Map (“EJ Communities Map”) describes areas of San Francisco that have higher pollution and are predominately low-income. This map is based on CalEnviroScreen, a tool created by CalEPA & OEHHA that maps California communities that are most affected by pollution and other health risks. This EJ Communities Map includes additional local data on pollution and demographics, and was refined during the community engagement process based on public feedback. “EJ Communities” are defined as the areas facing the top one-third of cumulative environmental and socioeconomic burdens across the City. The EJ Communities include areas of Bayview Hunters Point, Chinatown, Excelsior, Japantown, Mission, Ocean View-Merced Heights-Ingleside, Outer Mission, Potrero Hill, SoMa, Tenderloin, Treasure Island, Visitacion Valley, and Western Addition. "EJ Communities” are defined as the areas facing the top one-third of cumulative environmental and socioeconomic burdens across the City, with scores 21-30.

As of 05 May 2021 this map data has been superseded for operational use by Threatened Ecological Communities Greater Sydney. The CEEC product is no longer being maintained.

These map data contain a subset of NSW and Commonwealth listed Critically Endangered Ecological Communities (CEEC) within NSW. Version 6.0 (February 2020) contains minor adjustments to reflect change in NSW listing status of Sydney Turpentine-Ironbark Forest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion from EEC to CEEC. Version 1 only contained NSW CEECs. Further details regarding the updating of previous versions are provided under Lineage.

This composite map was derived from the extraction of relevant vegetation map units contained in a variety of existing vegetation maps held in the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) VIS (Vegetation Information System) Map Catalogue. Please note that not all Listed CEECs are currently represented in this dataset. Reasons include:

1. the CEEC has not yet been mapped;
2. the CEEC has been mapped but the source data are not yet openly available (see Supplemental Information for details).

Further CEECs may be added in future versions of this dataset.

Note, there is no formal process in place to guarantee correction in the source maps that are transferred to this composite map product.

Ecological communities are included in the critically endangered category of the Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995, if they are facing an extremely high risk of extinction in NSW in the immediate future. Critically Endangered is also a category under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, 1999.

Shapefile contains census tracts identified as disadvantaged in the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST) for the five counties that are included in the Bay Area Regional Climate Action Planning Initiative Frontline Communities Map.

The original shapefile was downloaded from the The White House Council on Environmental Quality, Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST), Methodology & Data webpage.. The “Clip” tool in ArcMap was used to select only those features which are located within the boundaries of the five Bay Area counties included in the Frontline Communities Map. Only those census tracts where SN_C column is equal to 1 are displayed. Where, SN_C is defined as "Identified as disadvantaged" in the original codebook and 1 is equivalent to a true statement. To learn more about the methodology behind the original dataset, please visit: https://screeningtool.geoplatform.gov/en/methodology#3/33.47/-97.5

The Frontline Communities Map is meant to help identify communities that are considered frontline communities for the purpose of the USEPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program’s planning effort, which is a five-county climate action planning process led by the Air District. USEPA refers to these communities as low-income and disadvantaged communities (LIDACs).

As outlined in Executive Order 14008 on Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST) is a geospatial mapping tool designed to identify disadvantaged communities that are marginalized and overburdened by pollution and underinvestment, for the purposes of Justice40 Initiative.

Shapefile contains census tracts identified as Equity Priority Communities by MTC as part of the Plan Bay Area 2050 process for the five counties that are included in the Bay Area Regional Climate Action Planning Initiative Frontline Communities Map.

The original shapefile was downloaded from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), Equity Priority Communities webpage. The “Clip” tool in ArcMap was used to select only those features which are located within the boundaries of the five Bay Area counties included in the Frontline Communities Map. Only those census tracts where epc_2050 column is equal to 1 are displayed. Where, epc_2050 is defined as "Equity Priority Community PBA 2050" in the original codebook and 1 is equivalent to a true statement.

The Frontline Communities Map is meant to help identify communities that are considered frontline communities for the purpose of the USEPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program’s planning effort, which is a five-county climate action planning process led by the Air District. USEPA refers to these communities as low-income and disadvantaged communities (LIDACs).

Formerly called “Communities of Concern,” Equity Priority Communities are census tracts that have a significant concentration of underserved populations. The Equity Priority Communities framework helps MTC make decisions on investments that meaningfully reverse the disparities in access to transportation, housing and other community services.

The Equity Priority Communities (tract geography) dataset is based upon eight demographic variables: • People of Color (70% threshold) • Low-Income (28% threshold) • Limited English Proficiency (12% threshold) • Seniors 75 Years and Over (8% threshold) • Zero-Vehicle Households (15% threshold) • Single Parent Families (18% threshold) • People with a Disability (12% threshold) • Rent-Burdened Households (14% threshold)

A tract is considered an Equity Priority Community: 1. If a tract exceeds both threshold values for BOTH Low-Income AND People of Color, or 2. If a tract exceeds the threshold value for Low-Income AND exceeds the threshold values for three or more of the six remaining variables

This study mapped twelve wetland plant communities (or “alliances”) and 59 subcommunities (or “community elements”) in 252 ha (623 A) of tidal and formerly tidal wetlands within the Siletz estuary. The target shapefile polygon size for the GIS mapping project was 0.8 to 2 ha (1 to 5 A). Within the study area, plant communities (as generally defined by estuarine ecologists) tended to occupy larger areas (over 2 ha). Therefore, each polygon was assigned both to a plant community, and to a smaller, more closely defined "subcommunity" that was characterized by a particular group of dominant plant species. The average size of a polygon (subcommunity) on the final map was about 1.5 ha (3.7 A), but about a third of the polygons were under 0.8 ha (2 A) in size. When using the plant community maps provided in this report, it is important to remember that the community descriptions are based on plant community composition as viewed from onsite, within the community. The visual impression of a plant community may be quite different from offsite (for example, from a nearby road) (see Visually dominant species below). Onsite investigation of each plant community is recommended when reviewing plant communities described in this report or when conducting more detailed analyses. The mapping provided in this report is intended for two main uses: preliminary planning (for instance, as an aid to restoration project planning); and environmental stratification for detailed quantitative sampling (see Stratification recommendations below). The mapping provided is not appropriate for regulatory purposes or for quantitative analysis of vegetation change

These conversations covered a range of complex issues. We heard about the overexposure of Black and Asian Minority Ethnic communities to the pandemic because they often work in frontline roles; the upsurge in hate crime against East and South East Asian Londoners; heightened need for domestic abuse support and better community language translations including specific dialects; the deep impact the virus has had on specific groups such as Somali, Bengali and Pakistani Londoners, particularly because of challenges with housing arrangements; the challenges for families around education for many groups including Gypsy, Roma, Traveller communities; concerns for LGBT+, Younger and Older Londoners; the impact of the Black Lives Matter movement; faith communities having to adapt their services and facing loss of income as a result, and much more. It was clear throughout that grassroots Faith and Community groups have played a crucial role meeting essential needs. The map of community views does not name specific groups but captures themes that can be addressed at policy level in close partnership with those affected, by recognising the strength of London’s community sector. 21 Roundtables and Community Meetings 250 Civil society and community groups reached

The Natural Communities dataset is a compilation of 48 publicly available State and federal agency datasets that map vegetation, wetlands, springs, and seeps in California. A working group comprised of DWR, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) reviewed the compiled dataset and conducted a screening process to exclude vegetation and wetland types less likely to be associated with groundwater and retain types commonly associated with groundwater, based on criteria described in Klausmeyer et al., 2018.

Two habitat classes are included in the Natural Communities dataset: (1) wetland features commonly associated with the surface expression of groundwater under natural, unmodified conditions; and (2) vegetation types commonly associated with the sub-surface presence of groundwater (phreatophytes).

The data included in the Natural Communities dataset do not represent DWRs determination of a GDE. However, the Natural Communities dataset can be used by GSAs as a starting point when approaching the task of identifying GDEs within a groundwater basin.

Shapefile contains census tracts identified as overburdened by the Air District for the five counties that are included in the Bay Area Regional Climate Action Planning Initiative Frontline Communities Map.

The original shapefile was obtained from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District staff. The “Clip” tool in ArcMap was used to select only those features which are located within the boundaries of the five Bay Area counties included in the Frontline Communities Map. No display filters were used to visualize the features in the final map.

The Frontline Communities Map is meant to help identify communities that are considered frontline communities for the purpose of the USEPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program’s planning effort, which is a five-county climate action planning process led by the Air District. USEPA refers to these communities as low-income and disadvantaged communities (LIDACs).

Effective July 1, 2022, Air District permit regulations set more stringent health risk limits and public noticing requirements for projects located in overburdened communities, as defined in Regulation 2-1-243 which was adopted on December 15, 2021.

An Overburdened Community is defined as an area located within: • A census tract identified by CalEnviroScreen (CES) 4.0 as having an overall CES score at or above the 70th percentile, or • Within 1,000 feet of any such census tract. (Not included in this shapefile)
