• Diesel Retrofits to Benefit Sensitive Populations – Grant Competition

EPA's Voluntary Diesel Retrofit Program is now accepting grant applications to assist in implementing projects that demonstrate the innovative usage of EPA verified pollution control equipment in reducing emissions from diesel fleets, including nonroad fleets, that affect sensitive populations – such as children, the elderly, and the chronically ill – who are more susceptible to the effects of diesel exhaust.

Applications will be accepted from state, local, multi-state, and tribal agencies, and non-profit organizations. The total estimated funding for this project is up to $1,500,000. EPA anticipates award of ten to fifteen cooperative agreements, each ranging from $100,000 to $150,000, resulting from this announcement.

EPA requests notification of intent to apply by May 28, 2004.
Complete applications must be submitted and received no later than July 2, 2004.
