Project Title:
Registering Emissions Sources for Air Pollution Permitting on Tribal Lands
Sponsoring Office:
Office of Air and Radiation, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Air Quality Policy Division, New Source Review Group
Project Overview:
EPA is developing rules that govern permitting of air pollution sources located on sovereign Tribal lands. One of the challenges in establishing and carrying out permitting rules on Tribal lands is identifying the sources of emissions that potentially would require air pollution permits. Under this project, the fellow will research air pollution issues on Tribal lands, and how the United States air pollution permit system applies to sovereign Tribal nations. The fellow will work with staff of OAQPS as they characterize affected sources and produce outreach materials for these sources on obtaining pollution permits.
Project Goals:
The fellow will gain critical insight into air pollution issues on Tribal lands, and how the United States air pollution permit system applies to sovereign Tribal nations.
Final Product of the Project:
The fellow will be expected to develop a final report and to make presentations that summarize the results of activities completed to EPA staff and management, as well as others, as appropriate.
Project Location:
EPA Headquarters, Research Triangle Park, NC
