DIESEL EMISSIONS REDUCTION ACT STATE CLEAN DIESEL GRANT PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Administration
Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD) will administer the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) State Clean
Diesel Program in Maricopa County under authorization from the State of Arizona and the EPA. CSD will limit administrative
costs to the program by using existent funds and staff. Costs to the DERA fund will be limited to CSD administrative costs if
approved in the application, and equipment reimbursable costs.
Page 4 of 7
DERA will allow for vehicles with engine years from 1996-2009 and 2010 or newer if retrofitted or replaced with zero emission or
low-NOx. DERA will pay the current percentages for the specified technology written in the approved work plan, and CSD will be
responsible for the cost share amount.
Budget and Period of Performance
Written approval by MCAQD is required prior to any changes to the sub award budget. Failure to obtain prior written authorization
may result in suspension of the sub award or unallowability of costs.
Sub award monies are to be used only during the period of the agreement effective date through September 30, 2021. Any deviation
from this schedule must have prior approval from MCAQD. A request for extension may be considered but will require prior
approval by MCAQD and the EPA a minimum of sixty days before the scheduled end date of the award.
Disbursements
Payment of sub award monies is to be made once evidence of retrofit completion or new vehicle invoice and documentation of
proper destruction of replaced vehicle is submitted to MCAQD. Use of subaward monies is subject to compliance with these
conditions of the subaward and satisfactory project performance. MCAQD reserves the right to terminate any project that, in
MCAQD’s sole discretion, is not satisfactorily pursuing and fulfilling stated project goals and objectives. MCAQD shall reimburse
CSD for cancellable obligations properly incurred prior to termination notice.

Destruction Requirements
The vehicle/equipment being replaced will be scrapped or rendered permanently disabled within 90 days of the replacement, or
remanufactured to a certified cleaner current emission standard. Permanently disabling the chassis and disabling or remanufacturing
the engine while retaining possession of the vehicle/equipment is an acceptable scrapping method. Disabling the chassis may be
completed by cutting through the frame/frame rails on each side at a point located between the front and rear axles. Other acceptable
scrappage methods may be considered and will require written approval from MCAQD Grant Programs Administrator.
Vehicle/Equipment components that are not part of the engine or chassis may be salvaged from the unit being replaced. If scrapped
or remanufactured vehicles/equipment or salvaged vehicle/equipment chassis or components are to be sold, this program income
will need to be addressed in the submitted budget.
