where approximately 244 operational gas-powered walk-behind mowers were traded in for a discount on
clean-running electric mowers. A total of $42,387.04 in SEP funds were received by the City in Fiscal Year
2448.
The Fiscal Year 2408 SEP grant earned interest in the amount of $1,238.25; TCEQ has authorized the
expenditures of $124.16 during the Fiscal Year 2008 and the transfer of $1,114.49 to the Fiscal Year 2449
grant year. Any future interest earned wii3 be authorized to spend an the SEP grant.
As of May 2049 three separate parties have been identified to provide $24,108.00 in contributions to the
City of Fort Worth in settlement of an enforcement action brought by the TCEQ. The City plans to use
these and any additional funds identified by the TCEQ to host a "Maw Down Air Pollution" Mower
Exchange Event this summer. Funds identified to date wil! remove approximately 100 gasoline-powered
walk-behind mowers from service and result in an estimated reduction of three and one half tons of
volatile organic compound {VQC}emissions and removal of seven and one half tans of carbon monoxide
emissions per year. The event will also assist in educating citizens on ways they can reduce azone-
forming emissions.
