DISCUSSION:
The TCEQ is the pass-through agency for all Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Section 105 grant
funds. EPA Section 105 grant funds have been received annually by the City Air Pollution Control Program
in cooperation with TCEQ to maintain and operate various ambient air monitoring stations. This includes
daily monitoring of ozone and particulate levels.
This grant requires a local in-kind match of $50,961 per year. The City must provide matching funds such
that the combined federal and state share of the total funding for the City of Fort Worth Air Pollution Control
.Program shall not exceed 67 percent. The matching funds must be allocated per maintenance of effort
requirements for federal air pollution grants. A portion of the $283,233 Environmental Management
Department Air Quality Section General Fund budget proposed for grant years 2007-2008 is budgeted and
will be used as the required in-kind match.
No City funds will be expended before the contract is approved. Upon approval and acceptance of the
grant, City funds will be expended before receipt of grant funds.
