Carl Moyer Grant Program
This page updated last on: June 15, 2010
Applications are no longer being accepted for Year 11. Please check back in fall for information on next year's program, or call (530) 634-7659 to be added to the mailing list.
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 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 on-road, off-road, and stationary agricultural pump Moyer-qualifying projects.
Examples of eligible Moyer projects for Year 11 are:
 |
Stationary Diesel Agricultural Engines 25-750 horsepower (uncontrolled & tier I/II engines). |
|
Off-Road Agricultural Equipment (tractors) repower, retrofit, or replacement. |
|
Off-Road Equipment in Small/Med Fleets (certain conditions may apply) repower, retrofit, or replacement. |
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 11 projects are the CARB's 2008 Guidelines and can be reviewed and downloaded from the California Air Resources Board's web site 2008 Guidelines Revision.
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.
