Carl Moyer Grant Program 2007/2008 (Year 10) Applications are now being accepted. For On-Road Heavy-Duty Diesel Truck Repower/Replacements/Retrofits try the California Air Resources Board's Carl Moyer Multi-District Program! Now accepting applications through April 11th, 2008! For more information and how to apply, please go here. Applications will not be first-come-first-serve but instead will be weighed in terms of affected population, pollutant health impacts, effective emission reductions, viability, and cost-effectiveness. The program is open to all on-road, off-road, and stationary agricultural pump Moyer-qualifying projects. Examples of eligible Moyer projects for Year 10 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
50 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. New Carl
Moyer Guidelines are being developed for 2008/2009 and can be reviewed and
downloaded from the California Air Resources Board's web site
2008 Guidelines Revision.

Assuming the following projects meet CARB and FRAQMD program criteria, as provided below, the program pays the difference in cost between the "old engine rebuild cost" and the "cost of the new cleaner engine" including an hour meter if required. - Stationary agricultural pump diesel engine repowers - instead of rebuilding an old dirty diesel engine, the program will offer incentive funding for you to purchase a new engine certified to a lower emission standard (an hour meter will be required and is paid for by the program). The owner will be out-of-pocket the reported rebuild cost and the Moyer program kicks in the balance of funds necessary to purchase and install a brand new, approved, lower emission engine. Contracts must be signed by engine owners - contracts are typically 7 years. Annual reporting of hour meter readings will be required. Prorated funding dollars must be returned to the District for each year of operation that does not meet contracted operating hour requirements.- On-road heavy-duty diesel truck repowers (typically pre-1987) - instead of rebuilding an old dirty mechanical diesel engine (where the injection timing is mechanically controlled), the District will offer incentive funding that pays the difference between the old engine rebuild cost and an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) remanufactured emission-controlled mechanical engine that is cleaner and CARB certified. CARB certification documentation and emissions data are required. Contracts must be signed by vehicle/engine owners - contracts are typically 7 years. Annual reporting of odometer readings and/or fuel usage will be required. Prorated funding dollars must be returned to the District for each year of operation that does not meet contracted odometer/fuel usage requirements. - Agricultural Tractor and Bankout Wagon repowers - instead of rebuilding an old dirty diesel engine, the District will offer incentive funding to purchase a new or remanufactured engine certified to lower emission standards (an hour meter may be required). Contracts must be signed by engine owners - contracts are typically 7 years. Annual reporting of hour meter readings and/or fuel usage will be required. Prorated funding dollars must be returned to the District for each year of operation that does not meet contracted operating hour requirements. [top] Other projects that may qualify include:
