Definition of Eligible Communities and Populations.

Eligible Communities and Populations is a multiprong definition. Eligible communities and populations can be considered any of the following:

  1. ‘Low-income’ means household incomes that do not exceed the higher of eighty percent of area median income or two hundred percent of federal poverty level, adjusted for household size (WAC 194-40-030).
  2. ‘Vulnerable populations means communities identified by the Clean Energy Transformation Act (CETA) as experiencing a disproportionate cumulative risk from environmental burdens due to: (a) Adverse socioeconomic factors, including unemployment, high housing and transportation costs relative to income, access to food and health care, and linguistic isolation; and(b) Sensitivity factors, such as low birth weight and higher rates of hospitalization (RCW 19.405.020(40)). Utilities should interpret this to mean highly impacted communities identified in their clean energy implementation plans (CEIPs).
  3.  Communities located within a Federally designated nonattainment or maintenance area.
  4. Communities disproportionately impacted that are identified by the Washington Department of Health as having a rank of 9 or 10 on the Environmental Health Disparities (EHD) map.
