“The wind that gave our grandfathers his first breath also
receives his last sigh and the wind must also give our children the
spirit of life.”
-Chief Seattle, Dwamish

The Southern Ute Indian Tribe’s Air Quality Program is dedicated
to monitoring and ensuring that the air on the Southern Ute Indian
Reservation remains clean and safe for Tribal Members and the
general public, now and into the future. This is being done through
ambient monitoring, permitting of pollution sources, emissions
inventories and continued research of air pollution and its sources.
It is the goal of the Air Quality Program to monitor and regulate
air pollutants in all areas, and from all sources on the
Reservation.
The program is currently growing to include a permitting section
that will regulate all air pollution sources within the exterior
boundaries of the reservation.
