Attempt To Curb Diesel Emissions
KENTUCKY...
The Kentucky Division for Air Quality is asking for proposals from local governments for projects that would aim to reduce diesel emissions in municipal fleets.
A statement from the Division for Air Quality says diesel engines are one of the largest sources of harmful particulate matter in the country. A total of $235,000 is available for the proposals.
The division says emission reductions may be achieved various ways, including vehicle replacement, retrofit devices and technologies that reduce idling.
The competitive funding is open to any county, city or other local government agency in Kentucky that owns and operates its own eligible diesel vehicles or equipment.
