The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $400,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants program (CFDA 66.046) to the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC) to develop and enhance climate action plans. The funding will enable SRPMIC to establish near-term and long-term greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals and strategies to address priority sectors. Key deliverables include a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) due by March 1, 2024, and a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP) due by the end of the four-year grant period on June 30, 2027. The expected outcomes are plans that quantify pollution reductions, including for low-income and disadvantaged communities within SRPMIC. There are no sub-awards included under this assistance agreement.

This agreement provides funding under the inflation reduction act (IRA) to the salt river pima-maricopa indian community to develop or enhance climate action plans that establish near-term and long-term greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals and develop strategies to address the highest priority sectors to help the tribe(s) or territory achieve those goals. This award provides full federal funding in the amount of $400,000. Preaward costs have been approved back to 7/1/23.activities:in general, activities include the development, updating, and evaluation of plans to reduce climate pollution (i.e., to reduce GHG emissions and/or enhance carbon sinks). Specific activities include development of a priority climate action plan (pcap), comprehensive climate action plan (ccap), and associated GHG emission inventories.subrecipient:no subawards are included in this assistance agreement.outcomes:two key deliverables will be produced and submitted over the course of the four-year program period, including: a priority climate action plan (pcap), due march 1, 2024; and a comprehensive climate action plan (ccap), due at the close of the grant period. The expected outcomes include a pcap and ccap that identifies: tons of pollution (ghgs and CO-pollutants) reduced over the lifetime of the measures; tons of pollution (ghgs and CO-pollutants) reduced annually; and tons of pollution (ghgs and CO-pollutants) reduced with respect to low-income and disadvantaged communities. The intended beneficiaries include the salt river pima-maricopa indian community.
