The Department of Environmental Protection is now accepting applications for the PA State Clean Diesel Grant Program.  Applications are due May 12.  (formal notice)

$396,904 has been made available by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for projects that will replace, repower or retrofit fleet diesel-powered highway and nonroad vehicles, engines and equipment.

Funding is available for public and private entities that operate diesel-powered fleets throughout this Commonwealth. These entities may include school districts, municipal authorities, political subdivisions, other State agencies, nonprofit entities, corporations, limited liability companies or partnerships incorporated or registered in this Commonwealth.

Projects must use technologies certified or verified by the EPA or the California Air Resources Board to lower diesel emissions, unless otherwise noted in the Program guidelines. The technology may be a single technology or a combination of available technologies.

The majority of the fleet's annual operation time must occur within this Commonwealth.

The application package including guidance, instructions and application forms [will] be available on DEP’s PA State Clean Diesel Grant Program webpage.  Questions should be directed to Samantha Harmon, DEP Bureau of Air Quality, 717-787-9495 or send email to: saharmon@pa.gov.
