This $194,727 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Surveys, Studies, Research, Investigations, Demonstrations, and Special Purpose Activities Relating to the Clean Air Act (CFDA 66.034) program will fund the expansion and enhancement of air monitoring activities by the La Jolla Band of Mission Indians.
The funding will be used to upgrade the tribe's existing air monitoring shelter, install solar power capabilities, and add an ozone (O3) analyzer to their monitoring site. These improvements are expected to increase air quality monitoring in disadvantaged communities, improve public awareness of ambient air quality, enhance the sustainability of the tribe's air monitoring network, and provide data to inform policy and decision-making by air quality agencies. The project is intended to primarily benefit the La Jolla Band of Mission Indians and their reservation. No sub-awards are included in this grant.
