The assessor's comments

No environmental justice screening for the project area is included in the data room. A screen of the Project Area and surrounding communities would settle presence.

Conclusion withheld

Question
Are low-income, minority or overburdened communities identified in or near the Brook Hollow Solar project area?
Missing evidence
EJ screening (EJScreen/CEJST/state tool) for the project area.
Consequence
Without a screen, EJ presence, extent and any engagement or siting-review obligations cannot be rated.
Information request
Provide any EJ screening or community demographic analysis for the project area, or authorize one to be run.
Blocks the decision
No

6Basis and limits

This report is a desk review of the documents quoted above, as the engine read them for an information cut-off of 2023-08-15.

It is not a field survey and not a modelled study: this review made no site visit and ran no acoustic, hydraulic or other model. Where the record is silent, the report says what is missing; it does not fill the gap.

Every statement, figure and quote is the engine's record as written. The headings and connecting words are fixed text of this room, the same in every report.
