Click here for link to EPA’s site.
For fiscal year 2008, Congress appropriated funds for the first time under the Energy Policy Act (2005) to help reduce harmful emissions from heavy duty diesel engines. Through the National Clean Diesel Campaign, the EPA will award grants to assist its eligible partners in building diesel emission reduction programs across the county that improve air quality and protect public health.
EPA Region 3, as part of the Mid-Atlantic Diesel Collaborative, announces the availability of funds and solicits project proposals from eligible entities to reduce diesel emissions in EPA Region 3. The total estimated funding is approximately $3.1 million available for the deployment of EPA-verified and certified technologies. EPA Region 3 anticipates making 5-10 awards ranging from $200,000 to $1,000,000.
RFP # EPA-R3APD-08-0201 – Closing Date: June 13, 2008
