Website for the South Carolina Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program. Provides an example of how to structure a subaward program to fund local projects using US Department of Energy funds.
EPA’s Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system is an open-source, regional air quality model used to simulate how pollutants such as ozone, PM2.5, and air toxics form and move in the atmosphere. It combines detailed atmospheric chemistry, emissions, and meteorology to estimate pollutant concentrations and deposition over time and space. The CMAQ website provides the model code, documentation, tutorials, input datasets, and example applications, supporting researchers and agencies in evaluating air quality policies, health and ecosystem impacts, and interactions between air quality and climate.
Document to establish standards for control of air pollution and protecting public health, safety, and public welfare.
Website providing information on state, Tribal, and federal implementation plans. Information included on approved state regulations, source specific requirements, and nonregulatory provisions.
Website providing information about Denver's Climate Protection Fund which is funded through a sales tax. The available information is an audit report to examine the efficiency and effectiveness of the fund management processes.
