PennEnviroScreen is the official GIS tool built by PA DEP and put into service September 16, 2023. Like any such GIS tool, it has a distinct purpose which shapes its methodology, data, and functionality. In this case, PES was built both for permitting regulation and for community engagement. It relies on a definition of disproportionate impact. This poster will provide an overview fo the design logic, the method, the data, and the uses of PES. The poster will also include a live demonstration so that any visitors to poster can see how it works.
