Request: Approval of replacement of two uncontrolled diesel off-road dozers with one Tier 4 final dozer operating less than the required combined baseline usage amount through the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District’s (VCAPCD or District) Carl Moyer Program.

Air District: VCAPCD (Project Number: 24-068)

Guidelines Section(s): 2017 Carl Moyer Guidelines, Chapter 5, section D.4.C

CARB Action: Approved

Determination: The proposed project consists of replacing two uncontrolled off-road diesel dozers with one new Tier 4 final off-road diesel dozer. In the 2017 Carl Moyer Program Guidelines (Guidelines) Chapter 5 section D.4.C, the annual usage from the two pieces of existing equipment is summed for the replacement equipment usage. The applicant provided justification proving that the replacement Tier 4 final off-road diesel dozer can move the same amount of material in half the time than the uncontrolled baseline dozers while burning less fuel per hour. Staff determined that, due to the nature of this replacement project and work performed, in contrast to the Guideline section referenced, the usage of the two existing dozers should not be summed to determine the usage of the new Tier 4 final off-road diesel dozer. Instead, the usage of one uncontrolled dozer should be used as the usage for the new Tier 4 final off-road diesel dozer.

Note that this approval is limited to the dozer listed above and does not constitute a comprehensive review of the project. It is the air district's responsibility to ensure all other project elements are met, verify that the project conforms to applicable cost-effective limits, all other applicable guidelines and statutes, and is surplus to existing emission control rules. Please include this case‑by‑case reference number in the comment field for this project in the Clean Air Reporting Log (CARL) database.

ARB Action:
1) Approved
2) Approved

Determination: The proposed project consists of replacing six diesel-powered RTG with hybrid diesel-electric systems (Kalmar, Model 412318-8L-2045C-HY).

1) Consistent with the 2017 Carl Moyer Program Guideline (Guidelines) goal to fund reliable emerging advanced technologies, the Guidelines require that funded emission control technologies are California Air Resources Board (CARB) certified or verified. At this time, there is not a formal approval process for hybrid, diesel-electric off-road equipment to provide assurance that funded equipment will meet Moyer program goals. The air district provided information indicating the replacement equipment is commercially available and can provide one-for-one replacements of diesel-powered equipment. Failure of the replacement equipment to provide the required project emission reductions is at the District's risk. Therefore, the hybrid diesel-electric equipment is approved as an eligible replacement equipment for CAP funding.

2) The calculations include a hybrid factor that reduces the future annual hours of the hybrid crane engine operation by 60 percent. The air district provided documentation in support of the reduction in usage. Additionally, since the diesel engine operates more like a generator, a reduced engine load factor of 0.43 was used. The District provided documentation in support of the hybrid system engine load operations. The request to use cost-effectiveness calculations as provided with this case-by-case is approved.

This project will use CAP Funds, and supports the goals of Assembly Bill 617.

3) Denied

Determination: The proposed project consists of repowering four (4) diesel-powered rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes with hybrid, diesel-electric systems (ZPMC/ Corvus Energy). Consistent with the 2017 Carl Moyer Program Guideline (Guidelines) goal to fund reliable emerging advanced technologies, the Guidelines require that funded emission control technologies are California Air Resources Board (CARB) certified or verified.

1) At this time, there is not a formal approval process for hybrid diesel-electric off-road equipment to provide assurance that funded equipment will meet Moyer program goals. The air district provided information indicating the repower system equipment is commercially available and can provide one-for-one replacements of diesel-powered equipment. Failure of the replacement equipment to provide the required project emission reductions is at the air district's risk. Therefore, the request for the diesel-electric hybrid equipment recognition as eligible replacement equipment for CAP funding is approved.

2) The calculations include a hybrid factor that reduces the future annual hours of the hybrid crane operation by 50 percent. The District provided documentation in support of the reduction in usage. Additionally, since the diesel engine operates more like a generator the reduced engine load factor of 0.43 is used. The generator more accurately reflect hybrid system engine load operations. The cost-effectiveness calculations as provided with this case-by-case are approved.

This project will use CAP Funds, and strongly supports the goals of Assembly Bill 617. The project directly benefits and is located within a disadvantaged community, makes use of advanced technology, and is consistent with project types supported by the community. CAP Funds are intended to bring immediate emissions benefits to these communities, and for the reasons outlined above, this project is a crucial part of realizing those benefits.

3) Statute (H&SC section 44287.1) allows a 10-year project life for advanced technology zero-emission projects; however as hybrid equipment this does not qualify and so, the 10-year project life request is denied. This project will use CAP Funds, and supports the goals of Assembly Bill 617.

Determination: The proposed project consists of repowering four compression-ignition diesel-powered trams to zero-emission battery-electric units in a large fleet subject to the In-Use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets Regulation. According to the 2017 Carl Moyer Guidelines (Moyer Guidelines), funding opportunities remain for large fleets only through 12/31/19. This fleet is eligible for funding for up to 21.2% of the fleet’s horsepower, which equates to four trams if the trams are in operation by 12/31/19. The approval of a shortened surplus period would allow the fleet an additional year (by 12/31/20) to complete all four repowers; however, this will also result in a decreased grant award for the project.

This project directly benefits or is located within a disadvantaged community, it makes use of the cleanest available technology, and is consistent with project types supported by the community. Community Air Protection Funds are intended to bring immediate emissions benefits to communities most heavily impacted by air pollution, and for the reasons outlined above, this project is part of realizing those benefits.

Consistent with Moyer Guidelines goals to fund emerging advanced technologies yet also ensure incentive funds go towards reliable technology, the Moyer Guidelines require that funded emission control technologies are California Air Resources Board certified or verified. A formal approval process for zero-emission off-road equipment is currently under development to provide assurance that funded technologies will meet Moyer program goals. The air district provided information that the zero-emission technology is commercially available and can be used in the repower of diesel powered equipment. Therefore, the zero-emission technology is eligible for Carl Moyer Program funding. Failure of the zero-emission technology to provide the required project emission reductions is at the air district's risk.

This approval does not constitute a comprehensive review of the project. It is the District's responsibility to verify that the project conforms to applicable cost-effectiveness limits, all other applicable guidelines and statutes, and is surplus to existing emission control rules. Please include this case-by-case reference number in the comment field for this project in the CARL database.

Air District: San Diego APCD
Guidelines Section(s): 2017 Carl Moyer Guidelines, Chapter 2, Section U; Chapter 5, Section D.1.(E)
ARB Action: Approved

Determination: The proposed project consists of replacing 7 industrial forklifts, 3 large-spark ignition (LSI) propane powered and 4 compression-ignition (CI) diesel powered with zero emission battery-electric forklifts (1, World WFE80, 6 World WFE60 ). Consistent with the 2017 Carl Moyer Program Guideline ("Guidelines") goals to fund emerging advanced technologies yet also to ensure incentive funds go towards reliable technology, the Guidelines require that funded emission control technologies are CARB certified or verified. A formal approval process for zero emission off-road equipment is currently under development to provide assurance that funded equipment will meet Moyer program goals. The air district provided information that the zero-emission equipment is commercially available and can provide one-for-one replacements of LSI-powered and CI-powered equipment. Therefore, the zero emission equipment is eligible as replacement equipment for Carl Moyer Program funding. Failure of the replacement equipment to provide the required project emission reductions is at the air district's risk.

Guidelines Section(s): 2017 Carl Moyer Guidelines Chapter 4, Section B.5.; Chapter 5, Section C.3, and Section D.1.(D)
ARB Action: Approved

Determination: El Dorado County AQMD is seeking to fund replacement of a two-engine water well drill rig with a single-engine water well drill rig. The baseline two-engine vehicle uses an on-road drive engine (385 horsepower) and an off-road drill engine (465 horsepower). The replacement vehicle is equipped with a single on-road engine (600 horsepower). The Carl Moyer Program Guidelines (Guidelines) require off-road equipment replacement project's cost-effectiveness and emission reduction calculations to be hour based. The Guidelines state future hours of equipment operation shall be determined from an installed and operational hour meter. The Guidelines also specify that the emission reduction calculations use factors provided in Appendix D.

The following information was used when calculating emission reductions for this project:

• 1. Representing baseline and replacement emission reductions of the on-road drive engine, emission factors (EF) and deterioration rates (DR) are found in Appendix D, Table D-2. This portion of on-road calculations shall be based on historical annual mileage per Chapter 4, Section B.5.
