•
Decreased lung function
Aggravated asthma
Respiratory ailments
Premature death
Sensitive populations such
as children and the elderly
are particularly susceptible to these effects.

National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance
Program: How can Funds be Spent?
z
Technologies and engines must be verified
and/or certified by U.S. EPA or CARB
www.epa.gov/cleandiesel
www
epa gov/cleandiesel
z Verified Retrofit Technologies include:
Exhaust Controls
z Engine Upgrades
z Cleaner Fuels
z Idling Reduction Technologies

14
National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance
Program: How can Funds be Spent?
z
Incremental cost of engine/vehicle replacement (old engine
must be remanufactured or scrapped),
scrapped) engine repower
repower,
engine rebuild
z
Covers incremental costs of cleaner fuel versus
conventional diesel fuel
z
Funds may NOT be used for the following:
z Projects required under Federal, State or Local law
z Emissions testing (except for the Emerging
Technologies Program)
z Fueling infrastructure costs, (i.e.: acquisition cost of
tanks, construction or acquisition costs of fuel depot or
biodiesel manufacturing facilities)
15
National Clean Diesel Funding
Assistance Program: Applying
z
One national Request for Proposals
z
Submit proposals to EPA regional office for projects
that take place solely within that EPA Region
z
There is a recommended format for the narrative

National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance
Program: Region 9 Priorities
z
Achieves and clearly quantifies fuel savings,
greenhouse gas reductions and diesel criteria
pollutant reductions
z
Reduces emissions along interstate and
international goods movement corridors
z
Clearlyy demonstrates inclusion of community,
y
neighborhood, and/or tribal organizations in
disproportionately impacted areas as active partners
in the project
