Air Resource Management
Welcome to the Northern Region's Air Resource Management Program. Air Resource managers advise regulatory and resource management officials in the mitigation of society's air pollutant impacts to forest resources, like reduced visibility, damage to vegetation, or high lakes acidification. Air resource managers advise forest land managers about how to reduce the amount of air pollutants generated by Forest Service activities such as prescribed burning, road construction, oil and gas production, or even ski area development. Air resource managers work with all people to increase the effectiveness of air quality regulations in providing clean air.
WHAT'S NEW?May 10, 2011 - The Scapegoat Wilderness Air Quality Related Values (AQRV) plan has been reviewed and updated from the original (1996) plan. The plan examines AQRV monitoring efforts in the Scapegoat Wilderness to date, as well as current air quality trends, and outlines a revised air quality monitoring plan for the wilderness. This is the first in a series of AQRV plan updates to existing regional monitoring plans. Link to the Scapegoat AQRV plan. |
