DEQ North Carolina Community Mapping System
The N.C. Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has created a department community mapping system, which will be used to inform some department decisions, such as specific plans for local outreach and public participation.
8/18/2026: The Community Mapping System is currently unavailable to public access. We are working to reimplement its functionality and will have an updated platform released by Friday, 8/21.
