DISCUSSION
The EPA currently funds a portion of the City's Air Pollution Control program through a 5100,000
annual grant The City's Air Pollution Control Program, in cooperation with the Texas Natural
Resource Conservation Commission, enforces the Federal and State Clean Air Act provisions
within the city limits of Fort Worth This includes periodic inspection of specific emission
sources, daily monitoring of ozone and particulate levels, and complaint investigation
The EPA grant does require a local match The City's proposed General Fund budget for FY
1996-97 will include 5130,820 as matching funds for the Air Pollution Control program It is
anticipated that the City will be reimbursed for over 51 % of these matching funds through
service contracts with Tarrant County and the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission
The interim funding of 5100,000 will be returned to the General Fund upon execution of a grant
contract with the EPA
