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(TCEQ). This overall program benefits the City by ensuring facilities are in compliance with air quality regulations and by
supporting reliable data collection for air pollutants. Of the four contracts, this contract is partially funded by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency and the TCEQ,with matching funds required of the City of Fort Worth. The grant specifically supports air quality compliance
investigations and inspections performed within the City of Fort Worth jurisdictional boundaries.
Since Fiscal Year 1991, the City of Fort Worth has entered into annual cooperative agreements with the TCEQ for the City to perform the
aforementioned investigations and inspections within the City of Fort Worth.The services provided include: complaint investigation; air permit
review and comment; annual investigation of major air pollutant sources; biennial/triennial investigation of gasoline dispensing facilities; and
recurrent investigation of all other TCEQ-permitted and regulated air pollutant emission sources.
The City must provide matching funds of$800,950.00 (33%) beginning in Fiscal Year 2023 and consisting of five equal, annual installments of
$160,190.00 out of the Environmental Protection Fund operating budget. Funding for the first installment of the cash match has been built into the
FY2023 Environmental Protection Fund operating budget through the budget development process. The cash match will also be built into the
upcoming FY2024-FY2027 Environmental Protection Fund operating budgets for the remaining four installments through the budget development
process.
