ADEQ Announces "Go RED!"

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.
