Does an EJ analysis have to be a separate discipline study?
No. We prefer that you integrate the EJ analysis into the social analysis in your environmental document. Whichever approach you use, the reader should be able to understand the process you used to arrive at the conclusions. Since many things affect the human environment, you will need to include summaries of the effects and cross references to areas such as noise, air toxics, economics, public involvement, relocation, recreation, and transportation. For help with scaling the level of documentation for EJ, please use our decision matrix (64 k).
