Overburdened Areas Map Version 1.0

The Environmental Health Department facilitated a series of public consultation sessions on the development of an overburdened areas map of Bernalillo County. Methods for data gathering, map generation, index calculations, stakeholder outreach and engagement were discussed. The development of an overburdened areas map of Bernalillo County is required by the Health, Environment, and Equity Impacts (HEEI) rule, NMAC 20.11.72 adopted by the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Air Quality Control Board in December 2023.

Health, Environment and Equity Impacts Rule Draft Map

This is a draft map as required by the Health Environment and Equity impacts rule, January 1st, 2025. (NMAC 20.11.72)
Due to technical limitations and data requirements, an interactive map will be added at a later date.
An updated map will take into consideration information received from community meetings.
