DEQ North Carolina Community Mapping System
The N.C. Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has created a department community mapping system, which will be used to inform some department decisions, such as specific plans for local outreach and public participation.
March 2025 Update: The Environmental Justice Dashboard is now accessible through the Community Mapping System. Updates for the Community Mapping System and the Environmental Justice Dashboard are in progress to be released later this year.
