Eligible applicants can receive a rebate for $500 or $600, and if income eligible up to $2500, to offset the cost of replacing an old, non-EPA certified wood stove or fireplace insert with a cleaner-burning stove or insert. Interested applicants in Placer and El Dorado counties can apply by calling the El Dorado Air Quality Management District at (530) 621-7501.

The Proposition 1B: Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program (GMERP) provides incentives to quickly reduce air pollution emissions and health risk from freight movement along California's trade corridors. Financial incentives will be provided to owners of equipment used in freight movement to upgrade to cleaner technologies through truck replacement or engine replacement. Projects funded under this Program must achieve emission reductions not required by law or regulation. Please note that the Proposition 1B Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program is not a rebate program. Any new truck or new engine purchased, or installed prior to contract execution is ineligible. Please sign up for our Incentive Programs e-mail lists for notification of when the application period opens.

The FRAQMD offers several grant programs to reduce emissions in Yuba and Sutter counties.  Please select one of the following programs to learn more.

The FRAQMD also maintains a list of grants offerred by external agencies that might be of interest to Yuba and Sutter counties residents.  These grants are not administered by the FRAQMD and all questions should be directed towards the applicable agency.

If you have a diesel truck subject to the January 1, 2020 deadline for replacement or repower, please contact the Diesel Hotline at (866) 634-3735 or visit www.arb.ca.gov/truckstop. 

For  grant information for diesel trucks not subject to the January 1, 2020 deadline used in agricultural operations, please contact (916) 874-4892 or visit http://www.airquality.org/businesses/incentive-programs/farmer-program for information on the FARMER grant program. 

Businesses within the Yolo-Solano AQMD can apply for substantial grants to help fund projects that will upgrade emission controls on heavy duty off-road vehicles through the Carl Moyer Program.

Locally, the Moyer Program is administered through the Sacramento Metropolitan AQMD to maximize regional efficiency. Eligible projects include emission control upgrades of agricultural equipment (tractors, balers, irrigation pumps) and construction equipment (tractors, backhoes).  For more information about the program, visit SMAQMD’s Moyer page.

There are an estimated 320,000 fireplaces and wood stoves in Sacramento County homes. Wood smoke created from the use of wood and pellets in these devices is a significant source of particulate matter, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, toxic air contaminants and odors, especially during the winter. These pollutants are linked to serious health impacts. 

The Sac Metro Air District is committed to reducing pollution coming from wood burning fireplaces and wood stoves. It has an incentive program that helps people change out their existing wood burning units to cleaner units, and an enforcement program to stimulate compliance with rules related to wintertime burning activities.

The District is currently accepting applications to replace on-road diesel trucks with cleaner technology units or to expand fleets with the cleanest technology available. Truck replacement projects that will accelerate emission reductions in low income and disadvantaged communities experiencing greater air quality impacts may receive priority through the project review and selection process. Projects funded under this program must achieve emission reductions not required by law or regulation. Please note that Truck Replacement Program is not a rebate program, any new truck purchased prior to contract execution is ineligible. For additional information, please contact the SJVAPCD grants program staff by email grants@valleyair.org or phone (559) 230-5800.

Most of our grant opportunities are administered through the help of the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA).  Applications are submitted and reviewed by CAPCOA and the California Air Resource Board (CARB) staff to determine if a project meets the guidelines and criteria under the Carl Moyer Program. 

The program achieves near-term reductions in emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), particulate matter (PM), and reactive organic gas (ROG) which are necessary for California to meet its clean air commitments under the State Implementation Plan. NOx and ROG combine in the presence of sunlight to form ozone (smog), while PM, a component of diesel exhaust, has been identified as a toxic air contaminant by the Air Resources Board. Please contact our office with any questions that you may have at (530) 934-6500 or visit the California Air Resources Board Carl Moyer Program web site. The application period typically runs from December until early March of each year.
