DESCRIPTION:THE PURPOSE OF THIS AWARD IS TO PROVIDE FUNDING UNDER THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT (IRA) TO THE PUEBLO OF SANDIA. THE RECIPIENT WILL IMPLEMENT GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG) REDUCTION PROGRAMS, POLICIES, PROJECTS, AND MEASURES IDENTIFIED IN THEIR PRIORITY CLIMATE ACTION PLAN (PCAP) DEVELOPED UNDER A CLIMATE POLLUTION REDUCTION GRANTS (CPRG) PLANNING GRANT. ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED THROUGH THIS GRANT WILL BENEFIT ALL RESIDENTS LIVING ON THE PUEBLO OF SANDIA RESERVATION AND WITHIN THE BERNALILLO AND SANDOVAL COUNTIES, AND VISITORS TO THE PUEBLO OF SANDIA CASINO AND RESORT LOCATED IN ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO THROUGH FOUR MAIN OBJECTIVES: IMPLEMENTATION OF AMBITIOUS MEASURES THAT WILL ACHIEVE SIGNIFICANT CUMULATIVE GHG REDUCTIONS BY 2030 AND BEYOND; PURSUIT OF MEASURES THAT WILL ACHIEVE SUBSTANTIAL COMMUNITY BENEFITS, PARTICULARLY IN LOW-INCOME AND DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES; COMPLEMENTING OTHER FUNDING SOURCES TO MAXIMIZE THESE GHG REDUCTIONS AND COMMUNITY BENEFITS; AND, PURSUIT OF INNOVATIVE POLICIES AND PROGRAMS THAT ARE REPLICABLE AND CAN BE 'SCALED UP' ACROSS MULTIPLE JURISDICTIONS. TO ACHIEVE THESE OBJECTIVES, THE CLIMATE POLLUTION REDUCTION GRANT INCLUDES TWO MAJOR PROJECTS - THE SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC PROJECT (PV SYSTEM) AND THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE SUPPLY CHARGING STATIONS PROJECT. EACH PROJECT WAS SELECTED FOR ITS ABILITY TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. THE PROPOSED SOLAR PV SYSTEM WILL EFFECTIVELY MITIGATE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS BY DIRECTLY REDUCING THE GRID CONSUMPTION OF ONE THE LARGEST CONSUMERS OF POWER IN THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO - THE SANDIA RESORT AND CASINO. WHILE THIS INITIAL INVESTMENT IN SOLAR INFRASTRUCTURE WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO OFFSET A PORTION OF THE SANDIA RESORT AND CASINO'S POWER NEEDS, THIS PROJECT WILL HELP DEMONSTRATE THE EFFICACY OF SOLAR ENERGY IN AIDING THE PUEBLO OF SANDIA'S LARGER ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS. ADDITIONALLY, THIS SOLAR PROJECT WILL HELP TO DEMONSTRATE THE FINANCIAL VIABILITY OF FURTHER INVESTMENT IN SOLAR ENERGY PROJECTS TO POWER THE PUEBLO'S COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISES, WHICH WILL BE AN IMPORTANT PART OF SECURING BUY-IN FROM TRIBAL LEADERSHIP AND CASINO MANAGEMENT WHEN LOOKING TO SCALE UP RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS. THE PROJECT ALSO IS REPLICABLE IN THAT THE SUCCESS OF SUCH A PROJECT WILL BE A MODEL FOR OTHER TRIBAL CASINOS, WHICH ARE OFTEN THE LARGEST SINGLE SOURCES OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION ON TRIBAL LANDS. INVESTMENTS IN THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE( EV) CHARGING STATIONS WILL HELP ENCOURAGE THE ONGOING NATIONWIDE TRANSITION IN THE TRANSPORTATION SECTOR TOWARDS ELECTRIC VEHICLES. FOR SUCH A TRANSITION TO BE POSSIBLE, THE APPROPRIATE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE MUST BE IN PLACE. THE PUEBLO OF SANDIA IS LOOKING TO DO ITS PART IN DEVELOPING THIS INFRASTRUCTURE BY INSTALLING LEVEL 2 AND 3 CHARGING STATIONS AT THE CASINO AND RESORT AND OTHER PUEBLO FACILITIES. AS DEMAND FOR EV CHARGING INCREASES WITH EV USAGE, THE PUEBLO WILL SCALE UP THE INSTALLATION OF CHARGING STATIONS AS NECESSARY. ADDITIONALLY, THE PUEBLO WILL MAINTAIN COMMUNICATION WITH THE COMMUNITY REGARDING WHAT FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL INCENTIVE PROGRAMS RESIDENTS CAN LEVERAGE BY TRANSITIONING TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES. THE 356-KW SYSTEM WILL DIRECTLY RESULT IN EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS OF 1125 MT CO2E (CARBON DIOXIDE EQUIVALENT) IN THE PERIOD OF 2025-2030, AND 4129 MT CO2E IN THE PERIOD OF 2025 TO 2050. THE INSTALLATION OF SIXTEEN ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) CHARGING POINTS THROUGHOUT THE RESERVATION WILL DIRECTLY RESULT IN EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS OF 944 MT CO2E AND 4721 MT CO2E IN THE PERIODS OF 2025-2030 AND 2025 - 2050, RESPECTIVELY. ACTIVITIES:THE ACTIVITIES TO BE CONDUCTED INCLUDE: - INSTALLATION OF A COMMERCIAL SCALE 356 KILOWATTS (KW) PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM (PV SYSTEM) ON TOP OF THE SANDIA RESORT AND CASINO PARKING GARAGE PRODUCING 557-MEGAWATT HOUR (MWH) PER YEAR. THE SOLAR PANELS' STORED ENERGY WILL BE USED AS A SIGNIFICANT FIRST EFFORT TO OFFSET THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND ASSOCIATED GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIO

DESCRIPTION:THE PUEBLO OF SANDIA, A FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED TRIBE, IS LOCATED JUST NORTH OF THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO ON THE RIO GRANDE. IT SITS AT THE BASE OF THE WESTERN FLANK OF SANDIA PEAK (EL. 10,620). THE PUEBLO'S LAND BASE IS APPROXIMATELY 22,000 ACRES OF TRUST LAND, PLUS ADDITIONAL ACREAGE IN FEE LAND. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 497 TRIBAL MEMBERS LIVING IN THE PUEBLO OF SANDIA VILLAGE, WHICH HAS BEEN OCCUPIED SINCE 1748. PRIOR TO THAT, THE SANDIA TRIBE OCCUPIED OTHER PUEBLOS IN THE SAME VICINITY DATING BACK TO PRE-HISTORY. THIS APPLICATION IS FOR FUNDING TO SAMPLE SURFACE WATER IN THE RIO GRANDE AND ON PUEBLO IRRIGATION CANALS FED BY THE RIO GRANDE FOR PER- AND POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES (PFAS). THERE ARE TWO WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS (WWTP) WHICH DISCHARGE TREATED EFFLUENTS INTO RIO GRANDE WITHIN THE PUEBLO OF SANDIA. ONE WWTP IS IN THE TOWN OF BERNALILLO AND OTHER WWTP IS IN CITY OF RIO RANCHO. SCREENING SAMPLES WERE TAKEN AT THE PUEBLO'S EXPENSE APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO AND REVEALED ELEVATION LEVELS OF PFAS. THERE IS DEEP CONCERN AMONG TRIBAL MEMBERS AND THE PUEBLO LEADERSHIP THAT EXPOSURE TO PFAS DURING CEREMONIAL USE OF THE RIO GRANDE AND CONSUMPTION OF FOODS GROWN WITH IRRIGATION WATER SOURCED FROM THE RIO GRANDE, SUCH AS TRADITIONAL FOOD CROPS, CATTLE WATERED WITH IRRIGATION WATER AND WHICH CONSUME FORAGE CROPS GROWN WITH IRRIGATION WATER MAY HAVE ADVERSE HEALTH IMPACTS. THEREFORE, ENSURING THAT THE SURFACE WATER IS AS SAFE AS CAN BE IS A KEY COMPONENT OF THIS GRANT REQUEST.ACTIVITIES:THIS PROJECT INVOLVES SAMPLING SURFACE WATER FOR 7 PFAS COMPOUNDS - PFOA, PFOS, PFBS, PFNA, PFHXA, PFHXS, AND HFPO-DA. SAMPLES WILL BE TAKEN AT 17 CLEAN WATER ACT 106 SITES THE ALONG THE RIO GRANDE AND PUEBLO'S IRRIGATION WATER. THE WATER QUALITY MANAGER AND BIOLOGICAL TECHNICIAN WILL CONDUCT SAMPLING AND DELIVER THE SAMPLES TO THE CHOSEN LAB FOR ANALYSIS. OUR 2022 QUALITY ASSURANCE PROJECT PLAN (QAPP) INCLUDES SAMPLING INSTRUCTIONS FOR PFAS SAMPLING COLLECTION SO WE WILL FOLLOW THAT. WE USE A LOCAL LABORATORY IN ALBUQUERQUE, HALL ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS LABORATORY WHICH IS CURRENTLY OWNED BY EUROFINS SCIENTIFIC, FOR MOST OF OUR WATER QUALITY SAMPLE ANALYSIS. SUBRECIPIENT:NO SUBAWARDS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT.OUTCOMES:START DATE: 10/1/2024 - DETERMINE WHICH SITES TO CONDUCT PFAS SAMPLING AND WHICH PFAS COMPOUNDS FOR ANALYSIS. DEVELOP/WRITE QAPP FOR PFAS SAMPLING. INTERIM DATES: 2025-2027 - CONDUCT PFAS SAMPLING AND SUBMIT BIANNUAL OR ANNUAL REPORTS. THE WATER QUALITY MANAGER AND BIOLOGICAL TECHNICIAN WILL CONDUCT SAMPLING AND DELIVER THE SAMPLES TO THE CHOSEN LAB FOR ANALYSIS. THE ENVIRONMENT DIRECTOR AND WATER QUALITY MANAGER WILL INFORM THE PUEBLO OF SANDIA GOVERNMENT ON REGULAR BASIS WITH THE RESULTANT DATA. LASTLY, WATER QUALITY (PFAS) TRENDS AND AREAS OF PARTICULAR CONCERNS WILL BE DETERMINED. END DATE: 9/30/2027 - WRITE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE PUEBLO OF SANDIA FOR ACTIONS.
