| The
Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality
Standards Attainment Program provides incentive funds for
the incremental cost of cleaner than required engines and
equipment. Eligible projects include cleaner on-road,
off-road,
marine, locomotive and stationary agricultural pump engines, as well
as forklifts, airport ground support equipment, and auxiliary
power units. The program achieves near-term reductions in emissions of
oxides of nitrogen (NOx), particulate matter (PM), and reactive organic
gas (ROG) which are necessary for California to meet its clean
air
commitments under the State Implementation Plan. In addition, local air
districts use these emission reductions to meet commitments in their
transportation conformity plans, thus preventing the loss of federal
funding for local areas throughout California. In addition particulate
matter (PM), a component of diesel exhaust, has been identified as a
toxic air contaminant by the Air Resources Board. |
| Changes
in State law have expanded the Carl Moyer incentive program to include
agricultural sources of air pollution as well as cars and light-duty
trucks. AB 923 (Firebaugh, 2004) provides additional funding for the
Moyer Program from an adjustment to the tire fee, and
authorizes local air districts to increase motor vehicle registration
fees by up to $2 for programs to reduce air pollution. Combined with
continuing funding that was provided in the fiscal year 2004-2005
budget (SB 1107), up to $140 million a year of
incentive funding is available to help clean up California's air. |
