Air Quality Program
The Air Quality Program (AQP) works to protect the air across the Colville Indian Reservation to ensure clean, safe air for all people, plants, and animals.
AQP operates within the Office of Environmental Trust and is funded through an EPA Clean Air Act Section 105 grant. The program follows federal air quality regulations known as the Federal Air Rules for Reservations (FARR), created in 2005 to close gaps in Clean Air Act protections for tribal lands.
The Air Quality Program (AQP) team works within the Office of Environmental Trust and is primarily funded through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 105 Grant. AQP’s mission is to protect the most precious natural resource that our people, plants, and animals depend on: clean air.
AQP team members are responsible for a wide range of activities to fulfill this mission. Click below to learn about the many facets of the AQP.
