Grant News
On January 25, 2012 the APCD Board approved project funding for the Engine Emission Reduction Incentive (EERI) Program using a total of $765,794 from the State Carl Moyer Program and from DMV fees collected over 2011. Grant projects funded with these monies provide the APCD with the opportunity to reduce emissions by helping local companies significantly reduce their cost of upgrading to new, clean emitting equipment prior to regulation requirements. The Off-Road Equipment Replacement Program (ERP) and the On-Road Fleet Modernization (Fleet Mod) Program enable the APCD to partner with a local network of equipment dealers, scrap yards and businesses to replace old, dirty agricultural tractors, off-road equipment and on-road diesel trucks. The EERI Program also continues to fund engine repowers / electrifications / retrofits for off-road equipment such as irrigation engines, tractors, and mobile construction equipment. Program specifics are:
- Provides up to 65% of the replacement or repower / electrification / retrofit of the off-road equipment listed above.
- Provides up to $60,000 per vehicle for on-road trucks.
Replacement trucks and equipment for Fleet Mod or ERP must be purchased from
approved dealership.
- Funds are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis based on when APCD deems an aplication is complete.
- Applications are available on the APCD website or call 805-781-5912.
