Off-Road Equipment Replacement Program (ERP)

Funding is available to:

Replace an existing old piece of equipment with cleanest available replacement equipment (with possible retrofit option) up to 65% of the project cost.

This project option is most appropriate when:

1. the existing equipment is still fully-functional with regular use over the past two years,
2. there is no logical replacement engine option available from the manufacturer, and
3. the diminished value of the existing piece of equipment does not justify further investment.

The project will require the addition of a CARB-verified retrofit emission control device when 1) the replacement engine has a device verified to work with it and 2) it can be installed without posing safety risks or violations.  Equipment owners may choose to opt-out of the retrofit requirement.

Applicants must work with a BAAQMD Approved ERP Dealership.

Off-Road Regulatory Information

Carl Moyer Projects require at least three years of emission reductions that are surplus to any regulation. This requires determining the regulatory status of a piece of equipment before being able to determine incentive eligibility.

Regulations for off-road equipment vary according to the engine type and application of each piece of equipment. All off-road equipment powered by large spark ignition engines fall under the LSI Fleet Rule. All off-road equipment operating at ports and intermodal rail yards fall under the Cargo Handling Equipment (CHE) Regulation. Most diesel equipment operating in construction, mining, rental and heavy industry fall under the Off-Road Regulation. Off-road equipment operating at least 50% of the time in qualifying agricultural activities is currently exempt from any regulation. Compliance dates vary by type of regulation and fleet size.

Additional information on off-road regulations can be found at California Air Resources Board (CARB) Diesel Activities - Mobile Vehicles and Equipment website.
