Air Quality Program 

The City of La Grande established an Air Quality Program in 1991 in response to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) finding that within the City’s Urban Growth Boundary the air exceeded the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS).  Air sampling conducted 1988 had determined that particulate matter less that 10 microns (PM₁₀) concentration exceeded the 24-hr NAAQS and that a State Implementation Plan (SIP) describing strategies to restore healthful air quality was necessary.   Click here to view the full Air Quality History document.

 The Air Quality Commission meets the Third (3^rd) Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the Public Works Building, 800 X Ave.

Please contact Jessica Lindley, Environment/Regulatory Superintendent for agenda items and meeting dates at (541) 962-1325 or jlindley@cityoflagrande.org.
