Opportunity Summary:
The West Coast Collaborative Diesel Emissions Reduction Program is an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funding opportunity aimed at cutting diesel-related air pollution through on-the-ground projects in EPA Regions 9 and 10. The program is focused on the western United States and Pacific territories, specifically covering Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. It also explicitly includes projects on tribal lands of federally recognized tribes within these regions, as well as work in American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam. The overall intent is to support practical, near-term diesel emissions reduction efforts that improve air quality and reduce public health risks associated with diesel exhaust.
Funding is offered through EPA assistance mechanisms, with awards made as either cooperative agreements or grants under the broader National Clean Diesel Emissions Reduction Program (CFDA 66.039). The opportunity is categorized as discretionary environmental funding, and EPA anticipated making about 9 awards under this solicitation. The estimated total funding available was $5,100,000, with individual project awards expected to range from $500,000 (award floor) to $1,000,000 (award ceiling). A cost-sharing or matching requirement was not expected for this competition, which can make participation more feasible for public agencies, tribes, and other eligible organizations that may have limited ability to provide match funding.
Applicants were instructed to review the full announcement for detailed eligibility rules and submission requirements, with eligibility described generally as "Others" and clarified further in Section III of the official announcement. That typically signals that eligibility may extend beyond a narrow set of applicants and can include a mix of public entities and other qualified organizations, but the exact eligible categories and any restrictions (such as whether for-profit entities may apply directly, whether partnerships are required, or what documentation is needed) would be defined in the solicitation itself. Likewise, submission methods and required forms were referenced as being explained in Section IV of the full announcement.
Key dates for the solicitation were in 2008. The opportunity was posted on April 2, 2008, with a listed creation date of April 8, 2008. The application deadline (original and current closing date) was July 1, 2008, and the opportunity was archived on July 31, 2008.
