Removing from the Nonattainment Area and Required Documentation Sample Clauses

Removing from the Nonattainment Area and Required Documentation. To ensure the estimated air emissions reductions included in the workplan are achieved and permanent, the recipient agrees that every higher-polluting device will be permanently destroyed and rendered inoperable; or permanently removed from the recipient’s respective air pollution nonattainment area(s). Higher-polluting devices include any device removed from service under this assistance agreement that will be replaced with a cleaner device. Under this permanent destruction process, the recipient shall take every replaced device to an approved licensed dismantler/recycler or follow the process described in the EPA-approved workplan. Cutting a three-inch by three-inch hole in the engine block, the part of the engine containing the cylinders, is the preferred scrapping method. The recipient must deliver the higher-polluting device to the licensed dismantler/recycler within 90 days of removing the higher-polluting device from service, or as consistent with the EPA-approved workplan. Other acceptable scrappage methods, methods of removing the device from the nonattainment area(s) and required documentation may be considered but will require prior written approval from the EPA PO. The recipient shall contact the EPA PO with the proposed changes; however, depending on the type of change, the Agency Award Official or Grant Management Officer may need to make the final determination. The recipient must provide documentation on removing each higher-polluting device from the nonattainment area(s). The recipient is responsible for retaining documentation for: a. each higher-polluting device, which is fully operational and in service at the time of the replacement before it is removed from the nonattainment area(s); and b. each cleaner, lower-polluting replacement device, as listed in the recipient’s workplan. For each higher-polluting device removed from service, the recipient must take clear digital photographs of the following: a. the engine tag showing the serial number, engine family number, and engine model year; and b. the destroyed engine block. For projects that are removing the higher polluting device from service, the recipient must also provide documentation that each higher pollution device was rendered inoperable within 90 days of receipt of the new device through a certificate of destruction form signed by the scrap yard or dismantler. For projects that are only removing the higher polluting device from the nonattainment area, the recipient must also p...
