This is CARB's notice of approval for San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District's (APCD) submitted Project Plan to fund low dust nut harvester emission reductions in the community of Shafter, selected for participation in Assembly Bill (AB) 617 through development of a Community Emissions Reduction Program. The Low-Dust Nut Harvester Replacement Program is an existing program that is currently out of funding. This scrap program reduces fine particulate matter emissions from nut harvesting operations by providing incentives to replace conventional nut harvesting equipment with new, low dust nut harvesting equipment.
For more information on the low dust nut harvesting emission reduction program, see the details for the program on San Joaquin Valley APCD's web site.
