EPA Memo: Use caution during smoky conditions

VIEW FULL MEMO HERE

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe (SRST) Department of Environmental Regulations /EPA office continues its recommendation that residents limit prolonged outdoor activities during smoky
conditions across North Dakota, especially residents with known respiratory conditions.

Particulate matter, which consists of extremely small particles of soot and ash, have been  increasing across the area over the last several hours. Particulate matter can cause irritation
to the respiratory system, especially those who suffer from allergies, asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). During this period of smoky conditions, the Department recommends the elderly and young children to limit or completely avoid unnecessary outdoor exposure.

The smoke in the area is resulted from wildfires in Canada and is expected to remain in the area throughout the week. The Standing Rock EPA department will monitor the Air Quality
Index and update the alert as necessary.

Primary Pollutant
This pollutant currently has the highest AQI in the area.

186 PM2.5

Unhealthy
People with heart or lung disease, older adults, children and teens – take any of these steps to
reduce your exposure:
Avoid strenuous outdoor activities.
Keep outdoor activities short.
Consider moving physical activities indoors or rescheduling them.

 

The Department continues to monitor the changing conditions through the nationwide air quality network. As a reminder, those who are experiencing difficulty breathing or respiratory distress during these smokyconditions should seek out assistance from medical providers. Informational resrouces and interactive maps can be found at:

9/5 Office Closure

CLICK HERE FOR FULL MEMO WITH AQI CHART

Please be informed that all Tribal employees will be entitled to four ( 4) hours of excused time off with pay for Thursday, September 5, 2024 from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm. (This is in addition to the four hours previously granted for the afternoon of September 5, and full day Friday, September 6, 2024).

In order to receive pay for the excused time off, the employee must be at work or in an approved paid leave status on the scheduled workday before and after Thursday and Friday, September 5 & 6, 2024.

The AQI (Air Quality Index) for PM2.5 (particulate matter 2.5 microns) is very likely to drastically elevate over the next 12 hours as smoke drifts through the region. Some areas in ND are already seeing AQl’s in excess of 300, which will impact just about everyone – not just those with respiratory conditions.

Please take necessary precautions and check in on our elders and those with health conditions to ensure their wellbeing. Please see second of this memo for health risks! Thank you to the SRST EPA Department for providing the Tribe with this information.
Should you have any questions, please contact Human Resources Office at 854-3826.
