Summary of Request:
The Carl Moyer Program is administered by the California Air Resources Board (ARB). Funding originates from the “smog-check waiver fee” and the tire impact fee assessed by the State. The Program creates incentives in the form of grants to cover an incremental portion of the cost of purchasing new, replacing existing, or retrofitting existing diesel engines with cleaner on-road and off-road engines. Diesel engines contribute about 40% of all oxides of nitrogen emissions (NOx) from mobile sources. NOx is one of the main contributors to ground-level ozone, a precursor to smog. A secondary focus of the program is reducing the PM-10 and toxic compounds also contained in diesel exhaust.
Since 2000, the District has provided funding through the Carl Moyer Program in the amount of $4,409,590.40 to public agencies and private companies for projects in Mendocino County.
The District is requesting the total allocation of $200,000 from ARB for fiscal year 2020/2021.
The Air Resources Board requires a resolution from the District Board authorizing the District to participate in the Year 23 Carl Moyer Program, accept Program funds and agree to follow the requirements of the Program.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not authorize the District to participate in the Carl Moyer Program for fiscal year 2020-21 (Year 23)
