ON-ROAD

ON-ROAD REGULATION Title 13 CCR Adopted December 8, 2005 to reduce Diesel engine Particulate Matter exhausted into the air. Final mandate January 2007 Applicable to Municipalities and Utilities who own, lease, or operate in California. Applicable to On-Road diesel-fueled heavy-duty vehicles >14,000 lb GVWR, model year. Must bring engines into compliance with clean engine standards according to specified schedule Must use “Best Available Control Technology” (BACT) to retrofit exhaust.

CLEAN ENGINE STANDARDS 1. Engine is certified to a diesel particulate emission standard of 0.01 grams/brake horse power hour (g/bhp-hr). If not, then: 2. Engine is certified to a diesel particulate emission standard of 0.1 g/bhp-hr, and is equipped the most effective diesel particulate control device, or uses an alternative fuel certified to reduce diesel particulates; if not, then: 3. Engine uses an alternative fuel; if not, then; 4. Engine uses most effective diesel emission control certified for the Engine. If the engine can not meet the above options it must be retired, replaced or repowered.

OFF-ROAD

OFF-ROAD EMISSION REDUCTION REGULATION Became California Law June 15, 2008 Regulation effective April 1, 2009 Purpose; to reduce diesel engine Particulate Matter (PM) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) Applicable to any person, business, or government agency operating in California except Agricultural or personal use or for use at Ports or Rail-yards. Applies to Self-propelled Off-Road Diesel driven equipment >25 horsepower (hp). Out-of-State of companies doing business in California must comply Must schedule and install BACT as per fleet average established by total fleet horsepower Emission level rated in Tiers

OFF-ROAD SCHEDULING Fleet hp Reporting deadline Fleet sizeComp. start date >5,000 Apr. 1, 2009 Large ,501-5,000 June 1, 2009 Medium 2013 <2,500 Aug. 1, 2009 Small 2015 Low Population Counties are considered small fleets and exempt from NOx. Low Use (100 hrs or less annually), dedicated snow removal and emergency vehicles excluded from total fleet hp but still labeled and reported. Mar 1, 2009 Fleets cannot add a Tier 0 engine to it’s fleet (model yr <97). Reporting is done through the ARB DOORS program on line. All equipment must be reported and labeled by deadlines.
