Midwest Clean Diesel Initiative [continued] Sample Clauses

Midwest Clean Diesel Initiative [continued]. The Illinois EPA is a key partner in the Midwest Clean Diesel Initiative (MCDI), a public-private partnership to reduce diesel emissions in the Midwest with a goal to impact 1 million engines by 2010. Illinois EPA is a co-chair of the MCDI Leadership Group and one partner in implementing and expanding the program. Within the Leadership Group, work was done to get government organizations within the Midwest to sign onto the collaborative principles, as well as set the structure and direction of the meetings and workgroups in order to define the work that was to be done and the responsible parties for the various work items. Within Illinois, there were success stories in the implementation of clean diesel actions. These included: • Requirement for clean diesel actions as part of the X'Xxxx modernization project.

Midwest Clean Diesel Initiative [continued]. Reducing emissions from diesel engines is one of the most important air quality challenges facing the country. Even with more stringent heavy-duty highway engine standards and non- road standards set to take effect over the next decade, over the next twenty years millions of existing diesel engines will continue to emit large amounts of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. Both of these pollutants contribute to serious public health problems. These problems are manifested nationally by thousands of instances of premature mortality, hundreds of thousands of asthma attacks, millions of lost work days, and numerous other health impacts. In Illinois, there are roughly 690,000 diesel engines and 8.8 million people live in the nine counties that are not in attainment with national ozone and particulate matter standards. USEPA, Region 5 is leading the Midwest Clean Diesel Initiative, a public-private partnership to reduce diesel emissions in the Midwest. USEPA, Region 5 will provide leadership in the Ports, Ag/Grain transport, Rail, and the Canada/Southeast Michigan Border Area. In addition, municipal and school bus fleets will continue to be addressed. By leveraging funding and resources from various partners, we can pursue coordinated on-road and off-road diesel retrofits, cleaner fuels, truck electrification parking, and anti-idling measures.

Midwest Clean Diesel Initiative [continued]. The Illinois EPA (“Agency”) is a key partner in the Midwest Clean Diesel Initiative (MCDI), a public-private partnership to reduce diesel emissions in the Midwest with a goal to impact one million engines by 2010. The Agency is a co-chair of the MCDI Leadership Group and also oversees the Illinois Clean Diesel Workgroup (“Workgroup”), consisting of nearly forty representatives from the engine manufacturers, fleets, government, and environmental organizations. In January 2009, the Agency launched the Illinois Clean Diesel Grant Program, to complement the Illinois Clean School Bus Program that was started in 2003. With both of these programs, the Agency can fund various types of clean diesel projects, including those involving utility trucks, over-the-road trucks, delivery trucks, transit buses, school buses, locomotives, marine engines, mining equipment, and other diesel-powered emission sources. The implemented technologies include diesel oxidation catalysts, diesel particulate filters, diesel multi-stage filters, closed crankcase ventilation systems, auxiliary power units, direct-fired heaters, engine repowers, and diesel hybrid vehicle replacements. As a major part of our efforts in the MCDI, the Agency has coordinated project development and implementation for both of these programs with the members of the Illinois Clean Diesel Workgroup. In 2008, the Agency and Workgroup identified 14 fleet projects to submit for the U.S. EPA’s 2008 Clean Diesel Competitive Grant under the Diesel Emission Reduction Act (DERA). This $678,604 grant was awarded, with projects totaling more than $1.3 million after applicant matches. These projects are completed or are still in progress. In April 2009, the Agency and Workgroup submitted a competitive grant application under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) that was approved for nearly $4.2 million, with projects totaling over $6.7 million. These 21 ARRA projects will implement 675 clean diesel vehicles, engines, and off-road equipment throughout the state, starting in September 2009. In addition, the Workgroup members continue to assist the Agency in seeking project applications for the 2008 DERA State Allocation funding ($438,600), the 2009 ARRA-DERA State Allocation funding ($1.73 million), and the upcoming 2009 DERA state allocation funding. In addition, the Agency has been awarded $886,000 in Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) funding and $2.2 Million in Congestion Mitigation and Air Quali...
