Prevent nonattainment grants

If the air quality in a geographic area meets or is cleaner than the national standard, it is called an “attainment area.” Areas that don't meet the national standard are called “nonattainment areas.” Nonattainment areas must develop implementation plans outlining how they will attain and maintain the standards by reducing criteria air pollutant emissions. Currently, almost all of Washington State is in attainment, yet there are areas of concern.

The purpose of Prevent Nonattainment (PNA) grants is to fund innovative, locally lead projects and solutions to resolve current air pollution problems; reduce production of air pollutants; and prevent all regions in Washington from reaching the federal designation of nonattainment for air quality.
