Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC)
• Created by executive order, June 1879• Governed by seven Council members,
President and Vice President• Population more than 7,000 enrolled
members• 53,000 acres, 19,000 acres natural preserve,
12,000 acres of agricultural land

Salt River Location• One of 21 Indian
tribes in Arizona• Located in Maricopa
County• Boundaries of Mesa,
Tempe, Scottsdale, Fountain Hills and metro Phoenix
• One of 3 tribes monitoring ground-level ozone in Arizona

Understanding Ozone Transport
• Ozone always formed as described previously
• Precursor molecules (NOx, VOCs) can be transported from neighboring locations
• Ozone can be transported from neighboring locations
• Ozone concentrations on reservation aren’t always from reservation

Understanding Transport (cont.)
• Ozone can be transported over short distances
• Ozone precursors can be transported over long distances – Ozone formation due to sources far away– VOC transport depends on individual reactivity
• Less reactive VOC’s (e.g., alkanes) travel farther than highly reactive VOC’s (e.g., terpenes)
• Your reservation may be impacted from sources near and far

Ozone Transport Depends on Meteorological Conditions• Wind speed and direction facilitate transport
– Precursor compounds travel via wind– Ozone can travel (smaller distances) via wind
• Other factors (temp, solar radiation, RH, etc.) influence transport– These influence quantities of precursors
transported and formed– These influence amount of ozone formation
![Page 11: Ozone Transport that Impacts on Tribal Land: Case Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070423/56816799550346895ddcd6e1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Ozone Transport Concerns for SRPMIC
• What do we know…some factors• Geographical region and meteorological
conditions• Within large metropolitan region• Population growth each year• Significant increase of mobile sources
![Page 12: Ozone Transport that Impacts on Tribal Land: Case Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070423/56816799550346895ddcd6e1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Ozone Transport Concerns (cont.)
• Expansion of business enterprises and industrial activities
• Bad air quality affects human livelihood• Efforts of monitoring and understanding
the ozone data• Factors that determine pollution: monitoring
data, model, pattern of pollution, meteorology
![Page 13: Ozone Transport that Impacts on Tribal Land: Case Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070423/56816799550346895ddcd6e1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Geographic Region and Weather
• Study shows potential of high ozone concentrations on geographic scale
• High ambient-temperature regions like Phoenix facilitate high levels during ozone season
• Dry, hot regions with stagnant air in summer typically generate high ozone
![Page 14: Ozone Transport that Impacts on Tribal Land: Case Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070423/56816799550346895ddcd6e1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Geographic Region and Weather (cont.) • Urban/rural areas subject to high ozone
levels as winds carry emissions miles away• Elevated region more likely affected in area
downwind from exposure• Salt River land downwind of Metropolitan
Phoenix in peak- level periods
![Page 15: Ozone Transport that Impacts on Tribal Land: Case Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070423/56816799550346895ddcd6e1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Within Metropolitan Region
![Page 16: Ozone Transport that Impacts on Tribal Land: Case Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070423/56816799550346895ddcd6e1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Growth• Over 3 million population in 2000• Population increased 45% from 1990 in Maricopa
County• City of Gilbert one of fastest-growing cities in
nation• Increased mobile transport and industrial
activities• Urbanization in region encroached on Community• Salt River located within urban region east of
Metro Phoenix

History of Air Program (cont.)
• Hired personnel to manage ambient air monitoring program summer 2001
• Commenced monitoring summer 2002• Recommendation process in
designation of 8-hour ozone standard, July 2003
![Page 19: Ozone Transport that Impacts on Tribal Land: Case Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070423/56816799550346895ddcd6e1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Monitoring Network• Classified as non-attainment for 3 criteria
pollutants• Designated ozone monitoring in State and
Local Air Monitoring Stations (SLAMS) status
![Page 20: Ozone Transport that Impacts on Tribal Land: Case Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070423/56816799550346895ddcd6e1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Monitoring Network (cont.)
• To determine– Transport significant sources– Representative concentrations in areas of
population density – Background concentration levels
![Page 21: Ozone Transport that Impacts on Tribal Land: Case Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070423/56816799550346895ddcd6e1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Monitoring Design
• 2 permanent ozone monitoring stations– Desert Eagle
Secondary School– Red Mountain
Trap & Skeet

Pollution Levels on Tribal Land
• Monitoring data shows high ozone measured in 2002
• Summertime ground-level ozone results high• Hourly concentrations obtained at Red
Mountain site higher than others• Noticed meteorological trend• Compared data with other monitoring network• Installed new monitoring equipment
![Page 24: Ozone Transport that Impacts on Tribal Land: Case Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070423/56816799550346895ddcd6e1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Ozone Monitoring Data
• Data show high ozone concentrations in area
• Exceedance of 8-Hr Standard occurred several times; none for 1-Hr Standard
• Results indicate ozone concentrations vary across the tribal land
• Eastern monitoring site obtained higher ozone concentration than western
![Page 37: Ozone Transport that Impacts on Tribal Land: Case Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070423/56816799550346895ddcd6e1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Ozone Monitoring Data (cont.)
• Higher geographic location typically observed higher ozone concentration
• Higher ambient temperature reflects trend toward higher ozone concentration
• Wind pattern indicates response of pollution trend
• Majority of ozone peak periods when wind pattern runs from west and southwest
![Page 38: Ozone Transport that Impacts on Tribal Land: Case Study](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070423/56816799550346895ddcd6e1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Summary
• Ground level ozone is regional pollutant• High levels can be widespread with
transport far from pollution source• Salt River Community is downwind of
Metro Phoenix• Study determines outside sources
potentially impact Salt River airshed
