Opportunity Summary:
The Mid Atlantic Clean Diesel Implementation Program was a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) aimed at cutting diesel emissions through targeted, on-the-ground projects in EPA Region 3. Region 3 covers Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia, and the program was designed to support practical diesel emissions reduction work in those jurisdictions. The funding fell under the National Clean Diesel Emissions Reduction Program (CFDA 66.039), which generally focuses on reducing harmful pollutants from diesel engines, such as particulate matter and nitrogen oxides, by upgrading, retrofitting, replacing, or otherwise improving diesel equipment and vehicle fleets.
This opportunity was offered through cooperative agreements and grants, with an estimated total funding pool of about $3.1 million and an expectation of roughly 10 awards. Individual awards were anticipated to range from $200,000 (award floor) up to $1,000,000 (award ceiling). The notice indicated there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving an award, although specific project budgets and any voluntary leveraging of funds would still typically matter in competitive evaluation.
The program was categorized under the environment funding activity area and sought proposals specifically for diesel emissions reduction projects within the Mid-Atlantic region covered by EPA Region 3. While the notice summary does not list the detailed project types, the program context strongly implies funding was meant for initiatives that deliver measurable emissions reductions from diesel sources, often including retrofits (like diesel particulate filters), engine repowers, vehicle or equipment replacements, idle reduction technologies, or cleaner fuel conversions, particularly in fleets that operate frequently and have significant community exposure.
The opportunity was posted on March 14, 2008, with an original and current closing date of June 13, 2008, and it was archived on July 13, 2008. The funding opportunity number was EPA-R3APD-08-0201. Eligibility was not limited to a single applicant type in the summary and was listed as “Others,” with instructions to consult Section III of the full announcement for the precise eligibility rules and any limitations on who could apply. Similarly, the notice directed applicants to review Section IV of the full announcement for the official submission process, required forms, and deadline details.
For applicants or stakeholders who could not access the full announcement electronically, the EPA provided a direct contact: Bill Jones at (215) 814-2023.
