An environmental justice group in North Texas has sued the Trump administration’s EPA after a grant program was cancelled.
Downwinders at Risk, described as a nonprofit focused on air quality and environmental justice filed suit after its air monitoring program was among victims of a recent elimination of a grant program at the Environmental Protection Agency. It joined others in suging to restore the agency’s Environmental and Climate justice grant programs.
Downwinders at Risk received a $500,000 grant in February to install air monitors and expan the SharedAirDFW network. Three Dallas neighborhoods, Joppa, West Dallas and Highland Hills would have received upgraded air monitors under the grant.
