Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community

This document is the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community's 5-year Air Monitoring Network Assessment. It evaluates the existing air quality monitoring system, focusing on pollutant levels, compliance with National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), and pollutant transport. The assessment includes data evaluation for ozone, PM10, and PM2.5 trends, and prioritizes network sites. Key recommendations involve re-establishing an ozone monitor at the new Two Waters site, installing an additional continuous PM-2.5 monitor at the Lehi site for improved geographic coverage, and implementing new technologies such as replacing aging instruments.

This Tribal TANF Plan for the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community aims to provide temporary assistance and support services to eligible Tribal members and their families.
