DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth operates a comprehensive air quality program under four separate, but related contracts with the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality. This overall program benefits the City by ensuring that facilities are in compliance with air quality regulations and by
supporting reliable data collection for air pollutants. One of the four contracts, partially funded by the State of Texas, specifically supports a portion
of a regional ambient air pollution monitoring network. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is the pass -through agency for all
Environmental Protection Agency Section 105 Grant Funds. EPA Section 105 Grant Funds have been received annually by the City for its Air
Pollution Control Program in cooperation with TCEQ to maintain and operate various ambient air monitoring stations. This includes daily
monitoring of Ozone, Oxides of Nitrogen, Carbon Monoxide, Solar Radiation, and Meteorological Data.
