The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency this week announced it will be accepting grant applications under its National Clean Diesel Campaign for projects that will reduce emissions from nonroad vehicles and equipment.

The deadline for receipt of applications is July 1.

Eligible projects would reduce diesel emissions through the use of retrofit technologies on various types of vehicles, such as construction, agriculture and port-related equipment.

EPA anticipates awarding 8-12 cooperative agreements, ranging in from $50,000-$150,000.
