Program Management:
Environmental and Economic Equity (EEE)

Program Management Plan:

 

As the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) is implemented, South Florida citizens' concerns, needs and economic livelihoods will need to be considered and integrated into the project-specific and restoration-related processes and decisions.

The Environmental and Economic Equity Program Management Plan deals with the social, cultural, behavioral, historical and/or economic subjects involved with CERP. The plan's purpose is to maximize the potential benefits both system-wide, and project-specific, resulting from CERP activities and to minimize any adverse social or economic impacts that may arise.

Baseline Data Acquisition & Analysis

The Environmental and Economic Equity Program Management Plan states six objectives. The second objective is to provide relevant, timely, valid and reliable socio-economic and environmental justice baseline data for system wide and project specific assessments. Baseline data will include, but not be limited to, demographic, economic, water use, conservation and land use data.

The EPA Region 4 maps were designed to be a tool to help begin to disseminate this type of data to the Project Managers.

The maps rely on the Census 2000 data that is currently available, focusing on Minority populations throughout the Counties. These maps will be updated with associated income data, as it is made available from the Census Bureau. This is considered "baseline data". The map's intent is to aid the Project Managers with their Outreach projects and also to assist in Environmental Justice aspect of CERP.
