Carl Moyer Grant Program

This page updated last on: January 30, 2012

For applicants to the Feather River AQMD's Carl Moyer Program:

You must operate the equipment in Yuba or Sutter County.  If the equipment does not operate in Yuba or Sutter County, please go to the appropriate District's website for information on their program here

Applications will be funded first-come-first-serve, up to a cost-effectiveness cap of $6,000/ton of pollutants reduced. Maximum awards are $50,000.  The program is open to on-road, off-road, and stationary agricultural pump Moyer-qualifying projects.  The District has approx. $356,400 available for Year 14.

Examples of eligible Moyer projects for Year 14 are:

The purpose of the Carl Moyer program is to reduce air pollution emissions by providing grants for the incremental cost of cleaner vehicles and equipment. The program focuses on the replacement of older heavy-duty diesel engines with electric, alternative fuel, or cleaner diesel technology, and does not include projects that are less than 25 horsepower, required by law, or regulated by an air district Permit to Operate, such as stationary diesel-powered electric generators. Private companies, public agencies, and the general public that operate heavy-duty diesel engines in California may apply for incentive funds.  All projects approved for funding must meet the CARB and FRAQMD program guidelines. The Carl Moyer Guidelines in effect for Year 14 projects are the CARB's 2011 Guidelines  and can be reviewed and downloaded from the CARB's web site: 2011 Guidelines.

Carl Moyer funding cannot pay for compliance with a regulation.  In most cases, projects must be completed at least 3 years prior to a compliance deadline.  For equipment regulated by the CARB's Off-Road or On-Road Diesel Regulations, the applicant must provide proof to the District that the fleet is in compliance with the regulation and documentation that at least 3 years of surplus emission reductions are available.  For Stationary Ag Irrigation engine projects, engines must be registered with the District to received funding.

For information on the CARB's Diesel Regulations, please visit their website here.

The District held a public workshop on December 12, 2011, at 3:30 pm, at the Yuba County Government Center, 915 8th Street in Marysville, Wheatland Conference Room. Copy of presentation available here

For Year 14 projects, the District will be using the 2011California Air Resources Board Guidelines available here.
