This $1,000,000.00 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Environmental Justice Government-to-Government (EJG2G) Program (CFDA 66.312) funds the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) to acquire, fabricate, install, and certify an air quality monitoring van. The monitoring van will be used to conduct air quality monitoring in underserved communities and after hurricanes and flooding events in Louisiana. The van will provide air quality data on compounds such as formaldehyde, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, ethylene oxide, hydrocarbons, oxygenates, and nitrogen compounds. The monitoring data will support LDEQ's regulatory role in protecting Louisiana's environment and will be shared with the community and project partners. The subrecipient, Mississippi River Trust, will also leverage the grant to continue monitoring air quality and to pilot a forest-based carbon sequestration program. The cooperative agreement has an award date of October 1, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027.
