body
Financial Impact:
This grant agreement will allocate funding for the District to provide financial support for the implementation of eligible reduced-emission technologies, in alignment with the Moyer Program Guidelines.
Background Information:
The Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program (Carl Moyer Program) provides grant funding for engines and equipment that are cleaner than required by regulations. Local air districts administer these grants and select which projects to fund. The Tehama County Air Pollution Control District has successfully implemented the Carl Moyer Program in past years to reduce emissions.
The Carl Moyer Program solicits applications from Air Pollution Control and Air Quality Districts annually for participation. Along with the solicitation, tentative grant allocations are distributed. For Carl Moyer Program Year 27, the Tehama County Air Pollution Control District is expected to receive approximately $284,915 in grant funding, which includes up to $42,737 for administration of the program. Districts accepting amounts over the base allocation of $200,000 are required to match 15% of their allocation. Based on the tentative allocation for Year 21, the District would be providing $42,737 in additional matching funds. This match funding will be sourced from the District's AB 923 funds.
When funding is received, the District will likely focus again on the agricultural industry by providing incentive funding to reduce emissions from engines.
