Upgrade or replace off-road diesel agricultural pump engine(s) with funding from the Carl Moyer Program. This program aims to cut air pollution from heavy-duty diesel engines in California.
Project Types
Funding is offered on a first-come, first-served basis until all funds have been spent. Applications must be complete to be considered for funding.
Funds are available for the following project types:
- Engine replacement (repower) - replace an old engine with a new, emission-certified engine (stationary and portable agricultural pump/engines).
- Engine retrofit - install an emission control device (stationary and portable equipment).
- Equipment replacement - replace old equipment with the cleanest available (mobile equipment - tractors, loaders, dozers, etc. ).
Eligibility
The following agricultural equipment is generally eligible for funding; however, you need to be in compliance with applicable rules (see below) to apply:
- Stationary and portable equipment with diesel engines 25 horsepower or greater (1996 and newer).
- Engines >50 hp registered with the Air District.
- Mobile equipment (tractors, loaders, dozers, backhoes, etc. ) - See the off-road equipment program
- Equipment operating within the Air District’s boundaries, with priority given to those operating in areas highlighted in the Priority Community Map(919 k PDF, 1 pg) (PDF).
Rules and Regulations
The Airborne Toxic Control Measure for Stationary Compression Ignition Engines (ATCM) (effective October 18, 2007) includes requirements for stationary and portable diesel-fueled engines used exclusively in agriculture. Typically, these engines are used to pump water or provide power for growing crops or raising livestock. All applicants interested in applying for stationary/ portable equipment must comply with the ATCM.
Please visit Agricultural Diesel Engines for additional regulatory information or contact Joe Slamovich at 415-749-4681 for engine registration, and Guy Gimlen at 415-749-4734 for questions about the Agricultural engine regulation.
