The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded a $285,275 Project Grant under CFDA 66.034 - Surveys, Studies, Research, Investigations, Demonstrations, and Special Purpose Activities Relating to the Clean Air Act to the La Posta Band of Mission Indians. The funding will support the expansion and enhancement of the tribe's air monitoring activities, including upgrading existing monitoring sites, purchasing equipment, and establishing a new air monitoring station on the La Posta Indian Reservation in California. The key deliverables include one new multi-pollutant air monitor, two new sensors to monitor nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide at an existing site, and the development of quality assurance/quality control documentation. The expected outcomes include increased air quality monitoring in disadvantaged communities, improved public awareness of air quality, and expanded access to air quality data and tools to understand and mitigate environmental health risks. This federal grant award, funded through the Inflation Reduction Act, is intended to directly benefit the residents of the La Posta Band of Mission Indians Reservation.
