The CTUIR Comprehensive Air Quality Program Office of Air Quality is a program within
the Department of Science and Engineering. Recognizing that air is one of our most
important natural resources, the goal of the CTUIR CAQP is to ensure clean air on
the UIR by developing a program to assess, monitor, regulate and remedy both indoor
and outdoor air quality.
The CTUIR air quality program began in 1997 with the hiring of an air quality coordinator.
This was in response to the planned incineration of 13% of the United States Chemical
Weapons Stockpile at the Umatilla Chemical Depot, near Hermiston Oregon. Since then
the CTUIR and EPA have worked together to address air quality through the development
of and air emissions inventory of the Umatilla Indian Reservation and investigating
indoor air quality on the Umatilla Indian Reservation.
