Andy, 

The information you requested in your November 17, 2015 email is attached. The Attachment includes the information 

you requested in your email on the four Carl Moyer Program-funded projects from Appendix H.1 and seven Proposition 

1B-funded projects from Appendix H.2. 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact myself or Carol Sutkus. 

Thank you.

Subject: Additional information request to support final action on ARB Incentive Report 

Carol - Thank you for your prompt response to our request for information copied below. After reviewing it, we are 

requesting a few more inputs that we believe are needed for the Moyer Guidelines’ “Estimated Annual Emissions by 

Pollutant” equation and in the Prop 1B “Emission Benefits Calculators.” Please provide the following, and/or other 

information used in these calculations: 

- For 2005 Moyer Guideline projects (S-1301 and C-2570): Provide the “equipment type” needed to look up 

the “load factor” in Table B-13 of the guidelines. 

- For 2011 Moyer Guideline project (C-14205): State if the engine is stationary or portable, and if portable, 

provide the fleet information needed to use the “Fleet Rule Implementation Charts.” 

- For Prop 1B projects: Provide the annual VMT of the existing and replacement equipment in the SJV. 

We would appreciate if you could respond by December 4. Please let us know if you have questions regarding our 

request. 

Thanks.

Subject: Information request to support final action on ARB Incentive Report 

Hi Carol; 

We received the attached comments during our comment period on our proposed approval of the ARB Incentive 

Report, stating “based on the information presented in the Emission Reduction Report, citizens would not even 

be able to obtain the information necessary to quantify and verify emission reductions.” The comment cites the 

information needed for stationary and portable agricultural engines as an example. 

To help us to respond to this comment, we are requesting information for the following 11 projects, which 

represent a cross section of the different categories: 

From Appendix H.1

The information requested, which SJV includes in the Annual Demonstration Report “Data Sheet” per Rule 

9610, includes: 

· For projects funded pursuant to Carl Moyer Guidelines: 

o Off-Road Equipment Repower, Replacement, and Retrofit Projects 

ß Percent Operation SJV 

ß Annual Hours (or other usage such as fuel) 

ß Old and new Engine Year 

ß Old and new Horsepower 

ß Old and new engine tier 

o Portable and Stationary Agricultural Source Repower Projects 

ß Information listed above

ß Information needed to determine compliance deadline, such as fleet-wide emissions or 

other information needed to use the Carl Moyer Guidelines “Fleet Rule Implementation 

Charts”. 

· For projects funded pursuant to Proposition 1B Guidelines 

oRelevant emission reduction calculators (excel files) 

o Drayage truck: y/n 

o Old and new engine model year 

o Old and new gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) 

o New and old fuel type 

o Old unit DPF Installed: Level 1 PM, Level 2 PM, Level 3 PM, Level 3 PM + Mark 1 NOx 

o % CA operation (VMT) 

o New engine NOx cert level 

We would appreciate if you can respond by Friday, November 13. 

We would be happy to schedule a conference call in the next few weeks to explain these issues further, if that 

would help. Please note that this e-mail exchange will be posted on our public rulemaking docket for this action, 

and that a brief, written record of any phone conversations concerning these issues will also be posted on the 

docket at www.regulations.gov. 

Thanks.

*We have included data for this item as requested. However, this project should not be included in the San Joaquin Valley Incentive-Based Emission Reduction Measures List. It is not a San Joaquin Valley 

project and San Joaquin Valley staff plan to fix the error. All San Joaquin Valley Carl Moyer Program Projects are denoted with a "C", "S", or "N" in the Project Number. San Joaquin Valley staff administer the 

Carl Moyer Program on behalf of Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District and identify these projects with a "G." This error was an isolated issue and no other projects requesting credit under the Carl 

Moyer Program begin with a "G."
