MECKLENBURG COUNTY GETS EPA FUNDING TO REDUCE DIESEL EMISSIONS, CREATE JOBS
Charlotte, NC – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded $1,116,600 to Mecklenburg County Air Quality (MCAQ) to expand and enhance its successful GRADE (Grants to Replace Aging Diesel Engines) project. For 2 years, MCAQ has administered a sub-grant program, to provide incentive funding to organizations that replace, repower, or retrofit their heavy-duty non-road construction equipment. The expanded program, funded through the Recovery Act and known as GRADE+, will allow MCAQ to enhance its already successful project by:
- Expanding beyond just construction equipment to include all non-road diesels (construction, agricultural, industrial, commercial, etc.)
- Expanding the eligible region from 7 counties in North Carolina to 13 counties in both North and South Carolina (EPA's presumptive non-attainment boundary for the 2008 ozone standard) including Mecklenburg, Gaston, Lincoln, Iredell, Rowan, Cabarrus, Stanley, Union, Anson in North Carolina, and the South Carolina counties of Lancaster, Chester and York.
- Adding highway diesel vehicles
- Including stationary diesel generators, engines and pumps
