Construction Equipment Retrofit Demonstration
Project
Location: California: Greater Sacramento
and Fresno areas
EPA is providing a $211,000 grant to the Sacramento
Metropolitan Air Quality Management District with over $774,000
in matching funds. This project will demonstrate the effectiveness
of two different types of emission control devices on five
pieces of construction equipment. These devices are expected
to reduce particulate matter missions by over 85 percent,
and to the extent possible, reduce nitrogen oxide emissions
by up to 25 percent and carbon monoxide emissions by up to
90 percent. The project will enable both control devices to
be approved (or verified) under EPA and California’s
retrofit programs.
