Program Title
Reduce Emissions from Diesels (Go RED!)
Program Description
Arkansas has received funding from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency made possible by the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 and Governor Mike Beebe to reduce emissions
from diesel engines in the state. The Arkansas Department of
Environmental Quality (ADEQ) is offering these funds as a
competitive funding assistance opportunity entitled “Reduce
Emissions from Diesels (Go RED!).” Public and private entities and
non-profit organizations in Arkansas are eligible to receive
funding. The funding assistance will be awarded on a competitive
basis, and projects that are selected for awards must reduce diesel
emissions in Arkansas. Diesel emissions may be reduced by employing
retrofit equipment, idle reduction technologies, engine upgrades,
engine replacement and equipment replacement. Any and all retrofit and idling reduction
equipment as well as engine upgrades that will be used under these awards must be EPA or
California Air Resources Board (CARB) verified. Projects must be
completed by August 31, 2010. Priority will be given to clean diesel
projects that maximize public health benefits; create or preserve
jobs; are cost effective; serve areas with the highest population
densities or are in poor air quality areas; maximize the useful life
of certified engine configuration or verified technology; conserve
diesel fuel or encourage the use of ultra low sulfur diesel in
non-road diesel engines.
