The Environmental Protection Agency Region 9 awarded a $8 million Project Grant to the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District under the Targeted Airshed Grant Program (TAGP, CFDA #66.956) to implement activities that will reduce particulate matter emissions in California's San Joaquin Valley air basin. The District will assist in replacing several open-hearth fireplaces and older wood or pellet burning devices with newer and cleaner-emitting appliances from January 2022 through December 2026. This is expected to decrease local residents' exposure to fine particulate matter by changing out high-emitting sources that significantly contribute to unhealthful air quality in nonattainment areas. No subawards are part of this assistance agreement.
