The MBUPCD administers the Carl Moyer Program to meet State and Federal clean air requirements and reduce the amount of diesel particulate matter (PM) that would otherwise be emitted. The Moyer program provides funding to encourage owners of older heavy duty motors/engines operated in one or more of the District's three counties: Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz. Over the past ten years of the program, the District has granted $5.5 million directly to owners. Those grants are repowering over 230 trucks, buses, pumps, tractors, dozers, loaders and scrapers with new or remanufactured motors. Grants are also available for retrofitting motors with a CARB-verified diesel emission control system (VDECS).
Eligible types of equipment include irrigation pump motors (<100 HP if installed by Dec. 31, 2010) and other agricultural and on- and off-road construction equipment, commercial marine vessels, locomotives, class 7 diesel forklifts, airport ground support equipment, and on-road auxiliary power units (APU) or transport refrigeration units (TRU). The most common projects are repowers for diesel motors, but some spark-ignition (propane, natural gas and gasoline) powered equipment may also be eligible, provided the project does not repower such motors with a diesel engine.
