CA-5: Equipment Emission Reduction

Goal

Reduce air emissions from nonroad construction equipment.

Requirements

Use emission reduction exhaust retrofits and add-on fuel efficiency technologies that achieve the EPA Tier 4 emission standard for nonroad construction equipment. Points are awarded as follows:

1 point
At least 50% of the nonroad construction equipment fleet operating hours for the project are accomplished on equipment with installed emission reduction exhaust retrofits and add-on fuel efficiency technologies that achieve the EPA Tier 4 emission standard.

2 points
At least 75% of the nonroad construction equipment fleet operating hours for the project are accomplished on equipment with installed emission reduction exhaust retrofits and add-on fuel efficiency technologies that achieve the EPA Tier 4 emission standard.

Documentation

Provide a list of all nonroad construction equipment used on the project that contains the following information for each piece of equipment:

1. Make and model of each piece of equipment.
2. Operating hours associated with the project.
3. For equipment achieving Tier 4 emissions standards, documented evidence that the equipment either (a) meets EPA Tier 4 emissions standards, or (b) has installed emission reduction exhaust retrofits and add‐on fuel efficiency technologies that achieve the EPA Tier 4 standard.
