The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 awarded $785,366 to the Pueblo of Isleta under the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) National Grants program (CFDA 66.039) on March 1, 2026, with a completion date of February 29, 2028. The award funds the replacement of three pieces of diesel-powered equipment currently in the Pueblo's fleet: a 2003 Caterpillar 140H motor grader, a 1993 John Deere 644G rubber-tired loader, and a 1991 Bobcat 853 skid steer loader. These replacements will utilize newer, cleaner technologies to reduce particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from the Pueblo's operations. The anticipated outcome of this initiative is to reduce PM2.5 emissions by an estimated 0.239 tons and NOx emissions by 3.355 tons over the lifetime of the new equipment. By modernizing its fleet with certified, lower-emission equipment, the Pueblo of Isleta will improve ambient air quality and operator health in the surrounding region, while fostering economic development and environmental resilience for its community members and the broader area.
