The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $720,000 Project Grant to the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation under the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) National Grants program (CFDA 66.039). The funding will be used to replace Tier 1 and 2 diesel agricultural equipment with Tier 4 cleaner diesel equipment on the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation farm. This is expected to reduce emissions of diesel particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and diesel air toxics, thereby improving air quality and assisting the Nation in transitioning its farm equipment fleet to more environmentally-friendly models. The project period runs from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026 and will directly benefit tribal members living near the project area.
