How are “disproportionately high and adverse effects” determined?
You determine both disproportionate and adverse by a combination of factors that can vary from project to project. Therefore, we can’t give an exact formula. It is important to realize that: Adverse effects = input from technical experts + public input Adverse effects should not be determined just from the input from public feedback nor from technical analyses but both should be used together to determine what is adverse. Disproportionate needs to be determined by comparing the effect on the EJ population versus a comparison population, therefore: Disproportionate = effect on EJ population vs. non EJ population. The only time a comparison is necessary is to determine disproportionate.
