Asking the Right Questions
In any co-funding scenario, whether it be with federal funds, state funds, local funds, penalty funds, mitigation funds (case-by-case only), and/or other applied funds the implementing air districts asks a series of questions to ensure they are meeting the program's criteria and reporting requirements:
- Can the Moyer Program project be co-fund with the funding source?
- Does the co-funding source meet the Moyer Program requirements (i.e. scrappage requirement)?
- Is a case-by-case determination needed (i.e. Mitigation funds)?
- What is the total cost of the project?
- Is there an applicant cost share requirement?
- How much of project will be funded with Moyer Program funds? How much will be co-funded?
- What are the emissions claimed by the funding sources?
- Can the emissions be apportioned between the funding sources?
Co-funding Example
Once the necessary information is provided to the air district, the air district will breakdown both the co-funding source funding amounts and claimed emission reduction by the funding sources.
The below project example demonstrates a project that is co-funded with two funding sources, Moyer Program funding with Funding Agriculture Replacement Measures for Emission Reductions (FARMER) Program funding, and one where the emission reductions will be apportioned between the two funding sources. The total cost of the project is $400,00 with both incentive programs requiring at least a 15 percent cost share by the applicant. Table 1 breakdowns the percent split of the funding sources distribution and the funding amount that corresponds to that percentage. Table 2 breakdowns the apportioned emission reductions by the incentive funding sources.
Table 1: Summary of Co-funding Amounts
| Funding Source | % Funding Source Split | Funding Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Applicant Cost Share | 15 | $60,000.00 |
| Carl Moyer Program | 62 | $248,200.00 |
| FARMER Program | 23 | $91,800.00 |
| Total Project Cost | 100 | $400,000.00 |
Table 2: Summary of Apportioned Emission Reductions by Incentive Funding Source
| Funding Source | Apportionment(%) | NOx(tons/year) | ROG(tons/year) | PM(tons/year) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carl Moyer Program | 73 | 1.402 | 0.131 | 0.0745 |
| FARMER Program | 25 | 0.519 | 0.0486 | 0.0275 |
| Total Annual Reductions | 100 | 1.921 | 0.18 | 0.102 |
Reporting a Co-funded Moyer Project
Air districts must follow all funding source(s) reporting requirements. For the Moyer Program, districts must use the Clean Air Reporting Log (CARL) database non-calculation form to report the Moyer Program funding portion of the covered emission reductions. All co-funding sources used to support the project will be reported, by the air district, in the project's Funding, Payments and Withholds section in the CARL database. Note: In cases where the co-funded project was part of a case-by-case determination the air district must follow any directions outline and include case-by-case reference number in the comment field.
