The HARP Air Dispersion Modeling and Risk Tool, developed by the California Air Resources Board, is Windows-based software that allows users to run air dispersion models and calculate associated health risks from toxic air pollutants. Used primarily in the state’s Hot Spots Analysis & Reporting Program, it integrates modeled concentration outputs with built?in health effect values and demographic data (including a dedicated census database and health database) to support standardized health risk assessments for stationary emission sources in California.
CalEEMod (California Emissions Estimator Model) is a free, statewide land use emissions calculator used to estimate air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions from development projects in California. It allows planners, consultants, and agencies to input project characteristics (like land use type, size, construction schedule, and operations) and then uses built?in emission factors and default assumptions to quantify construction and operational emissions (e.g., vehicle trips, energy use, area sources). The tool supports CEQA review, air district permitting, and project comparison by providing standardized, transparent emission estimates for proposed developments.
Website providing information on Michigan’s supplemental environmental projects program, which manages environmentally beneficial projects that are not required by state or federal law, but an alleged violator agrees to undertake as part of a settlement of an enforcement action. SEPs are projects that go beyond what is legally required to return to compliance with applicable state and federal laws.
Template intended to help jurisdictions navigate the community action planning process by providing a set of sample strategic objectives, actions, and evaluation metrics to plan program activities to address key children’s environmental health issues in communities.
Interactive map that displays information on air quality monitoring, locations of oil and gas wells, ozone and PM2.5 nonattainment areas, permitting and compliance for NSR and Title V permits, and point source emissions.
The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Program tracks the industrial management of toxic chemicals. TRI data are reported annually by industrial and federal facilities that meet reporting requirements. EPA makes these data available through multiple online tools, many of which add context to help make the reported data more understandable.
Mapping tool to view regulated facilities, including for Title V permits, minor permits, and area sources.
Web map providing information on health risks from petrochemical air pollution, chemicals and companies driving those risks, where facilities releasing toxic chemicals are located, and where air quality monitors measure this pollution. The map also displays other drivers of risk, like pollution from other sources.
The DEQ North Carolina Community Mapping System is an online, interactive mapping platform that brings together environmental, health, demographic, and infrastructure data to help communities understand local conditions and support environmental justice and planning efforts. Through a web map interface, users can explore layers related to air and water quality, regulated facilities, climate and flooding risks, sensitive receptors (like schools), and community characteristics, allowing residents, advocates, and decision?makers to identify overburdened areas, visualize cumulative impacts, and inform permitting, enforcement, and investment decisions.
