The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under CFDA 66.034 - Surveys, Studies, Research, Investigations, Demonstrations, and Special Purpose Activities Relating to the Clean Air Act to the Torres-Martinez Desert Cahuilla Tribal Administration Division. The grant funding will be used to expand and enhance the tribe's air monitoring activities. Specifically, the recipient will purchase air monitoring equipment to upgrade their existing multipollutant air monitoring site, fortify the site's infrastructure, and establish a new multipollutant air monitoring site. Additionally, the grant will provide funding for training two air quality technicians to operate the new equipment. The anticipated outcomes include increased monitoring of disadvantaged communities, greater public awareness of air quality, information about previously unmonitored areas, and improved sustainability of the tribe's air monitoring network. This grant award is funded through the Inflation Reduction Act and aims to deliver public benefits for the residents of the Torres-Martinez Reservation.
