We envision a region where clean air sustains human, environmental, and economic health. All stakeholders-from residents to industry, regulators, and elected officials- are informed, engaged, and committed to protecting and improving air quality through timely action, enforcement, and shared responsibility. 0 0 147990 0 0 Environmental Watchdog and Legal Work (included as both Programs 1 and 2): GASP continues to be a trusted environmental watchdog for Southwestern Pennsylvania, combining education, advocacy, and legal action to protect public health and ensure polluters are held accountable. We successfully advocated for Allegheny County's revised coke oven regulations by providing detailed technical comments and training residents to participate effectively in the public comment process, securing stronger safeguards for our communities. We led the campaign for Mon Valley Air Pollution Episode Regulation, educating both the public and Allegheny County Council and facilitating more than 400 resident comments in support of the rule. Its passage was a crucial first step toward reducing dangerous fine particulate matter during weather inversions. GASP objected to US Steel's Clairton Coke Works Title V permit-first to the Allegheny County Health Department and then through a petition to the EPA. The EPA agreed with GASP's position and ordered the Permit to be redone, which will reduce fugitive emissions from the facility and improve air quality across the region. 94714 0 0 Legal and Watchdog continued: GASP issued a 60-day notice of intent to sue Brunner Landfill for Clean Air Act violations, prompting both the operator and Pennsylvania DEP to move toward compliance and paving the way for issuance of the facility's long-overdue Title V permit. GASP is defending the proposed rollback of the 2009 Endangerment finding, and the delayed implementation of the Coke Oven NESHAPS and the Integrated Iron and Steel NESHAPS. Additionally, GASP reviews and comments on all large sources of air pollution in southwestern Pennsylvania and improves transparency by maintaining updated permitting documents through the Air Permits Clearinghouse on GASP's website. 33751 0 0 Educational Programs: Education remains at the heart of GASP's mission, equipping residents, students, and community leaders with the knowledge they need to understand air quality issues and take action. Our programs include workshops, presentations, and accessible online resources that explain complex regulatory processes and empower residents to participate meaningfully in decision-making. We have expanded our educational resources by adding a dashboard on hydrogen sulfide and the Mon Valley Air Pollution Episode Regulation. We broadened our reach through storytelling, partnering with SUNY Professor Chie Togami and PCTV to produce Extraction, a three-part podcast connecting Pittsburgh's air quality struggles to the global legacy of US Steel. 19525 0 0 GASP has had three successful years of running the Fresh Voices program for high school students in Allegheny County and we are excited to be starting our fourth year of the program providing education and mentorship to the next generation of environmental leaders. 19525 0 0 295980 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 1 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 PA X Patrick Campbell Executive Dir 4129240604 1133 S Braddock Ave Suite 1A Edgewood PA 15218 X Zelda Curtiss Director 2 X 0 0 0 David Eibling MD Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Marla Ferency Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Karen Grzywinski Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Fran Harkins Director 0 0 X 0 0 0 Peri Unligil MD Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Kelly Henderson Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Chie Togami Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Noe Woods MD Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Greg Kochanski Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Jim Fabisiak PhD VP 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Janis Johnson Treasurer 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Jonathan Nadle President 15 0 X X 0 0 0 Kate St John VP 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Maren Cooke PhD Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 106543 0 0 4850 243223 0 354616 Speaker Fee 813312 1440 1440 0 0 0 0 0 0 1440 9982 0 0 9982 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 366038 1440 0 9982 269122 212606 32295 24221 8790 6944 1055 791 19086 15078 2290 1718 23686 18712 2842 2132 5381 5381 9890 9890 8998 6279 1238 1481 3566 3210 178 178 18495 16645 925 925 1078 1078 1111 1111 677 609 34 34 6215 6215 Educational Events 263 263 0 0 Inhouse legal 3311 3311 0 0 Other 519 244 275 380188 295980 52728 31480 45 45 270529 249667 0 4851 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11605 10141 1515 1464 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 272089 256027 7845 6356 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7845 6356 X 181658 239383 82586 10288 264244 249671 272089 256027 -14150 0 0 0 -423 0 X 1 X 0 0 0 X 370320 380749 284448 547281 356056 1938854 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 370320 380749 284448 547281 356056 1938854 973053 965801 593 47 0 1881 9982 12503 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1951357 419 0.49494 0.53526 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 500 500 379688 380188 76038 19010 0 0 70358 70482 75231 76038 292109 438164 0 8000 0 500 8500 17590 17621 18808 19010 73029 109544 0 4000 0 0 4000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11605 0 10141 1464 0 0 0 0 1464 366038 0 0 0 0 0 366038 0 0 0 366038 380188 0 0 0 0 0 380188 0 0 0 380188 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 GASP is a membership organization that actively recruits members from the general public.
