The basic questions addressed in the environmental justice study are whether low income and/or minority neighborhoods are or have been disproportionately affected by the impacts of pollutants in air or water; by land use decisions; financially by environmentally-related governmental decisions.
Provides the data and analysis necessary for the County's Environmental Impact Statement as it relates to the potential impact that issuing a permit could have on low income or minority people in Pima County. The study goes beyond this narrow assessment too, and discusses the cultural, social and fiscal issues related to the larger topic of environmental justice.
