AIR QUALITY
Vision
The vision of the Air Quality office is to
develop a long-term air program strategy to improve and/or maintain air quality
on the Nez Perce Reservation.
Federal
Air Rules for Reservations (FARR) and
the Nez Perce Reservation Burn Permit Program
The Nez Perce Tribe operates
a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) delegated burn permit program
within the exterior boundaries of the 1863 Nez Perce Reservation pursuant to the
EPA Federal Air Rules for Reservations (FARR).
The FARR protects human health and the environment through the administration of
agricultural, open, and forestry burn permitting.
EPA retains enforcement authority of the rules.
