Please <br />be as specific as possible on the <br />characteristics of those who will <br />benefit including, gender, race, <br />age, income level and geographic <br />location. <br /> <br />Also, what are the demographics <br />of the area where your project <br />takes place? <br /> <br />Does your project help to <br />address any racial disparities in <br />the location it is proposed for? <br /> <br />Please list any data sources used <br />and show the steps of any <br />calculations: <br /> <br />1) We will focus efforts in the areas identified as underserved <br />by the NC DEQ Community Mapping system which is part <br />of the Environmental Justice Program. <br />https://ncdenr.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.h <br />tml?id=1eb0fbe2bcfb4cccb3cc212af8a0b8c8 <br />2) We have contacted teachers at CW Stanford Middle School <br />that are serving students from the area highlighted below. <br />According to NC DEQ, 66.31% of the population is minority <br />and 56.04% are low income. This area does not qualify for <br />EPA funding, but we hope to have teachers engaged in the <br />program serving this community with this funding. <br /> <br /> <br />3)This second area from which we have contacted teachers <br />and are willing to participate is located near Carrboro <br />Elementary School. According to NC DEQ, 32.26 % are <br />minority and 45.69% are low income.
