NJ Diesel Retrofit Law: Publicly Owned Vehicles and Equipment

SLIDE 2

Diesel Retrofit Overview

 Reduces diesel emissions and the health impacts associated with diesel exhaust  Components of the rules:

 closed crankcase ventilation systems for school buses  tailpipe retrofits (BART) for regulated diesel vehicles  Reimbursement of purchase and installation costs (Corp Business Tax)

SLIDE 3

Intent of the Diesel Retrofit Law

 Reduce 150 tons of diesel particulate matter from the air every year.  Targets vehicles with operational presence in neighborhoods and have potential to directly expose citizens to diesel particulate matter.  Prioritizes PM reductions of in urban areas  = = > Cleaner emissions, lower noise

SLIDE 4

Diesel Exhaust

 Classified carcinogen - World Health Org  Causes Asthma and Respiratory Distress  Cardiopulmonary diseases  Premature deaths

SLIDE 5

GOAL: All areas of the state under the benchmark

SLIDE 6

Retrofit Law Components

 Regulated vehicles must be retrofit with PM Controls meeting BART standard  Compliance burden on vehicle owner

 Submit Inventory / Cost Estimate  public utility vehicles & equipment

 due 9/ 8/ 2011

 Schedule installations & maintain devices

 Direct Reimbursement

 (state contract)

 Authorized installers

 Retrofit warranty

SLIDE 7

Completed Retrofits…

 School Bus CCVS* 7,200  School Bus BART* 205  Solid Waste BART* 1,250  NJTransit BART* 1,300  Commercial Bus BART* 1,770  Public Vehicles & Equipment*  Approved~ 1,798  Retrofit~ 309  Voluntary Offroad Retrofits- 225

* = Regulated in Diesel Retrofit Law

SLIDE 8

Retrofit Funding

 Corporate Business Tax Component

 Expires 1/ 1/ 2016

 Approved $65 million cost estimates  Reimbursed $43 million

SLIDE 9

Diesel Retrofits- Public Fleet Regulated Vehicles

 "Regulated off-road diesel equipm ent" means any

model year 1996 or newer off-road diesel equipment operated in the State that is owned by the State or any political subdivision thereof, or a county or municipality, or any political subdivision thereof, and that is equipped with a more than 175 horsepower engine.

 Minimum 85% PM reduction

 "Regulated on-road diesel vehicle" means any on-road

diesel vehicle registered in the State that is owned by the State or any political subdivision thereof, or a county or municipality, or any political subdivision thereof.

 Minimum 50% PM reduction  No exemptions due to vehicle age  Regulated Solid Waste Vehicles defined separately, due 6/ 2008

SLIDE 10

Retrofit Law- General exemptions

 2007 & newer model year on-road engines

 Engines meeting the 0.01 g/ bhp-hr PM standard

 Off-road engines meeting 0.015 g/ bhp-hr PM standard (~ 2011 to 2014 phase in)  First aid, emergency, ambulance, rescue & fire

 Dedicated equipment, not plow trucks

 Dedicated Agricultural Vehicles

SLIDE 11

Compliance Tools

 Guidance Document (Recommended reading)  State Contract - Authorized Installers  Submittal through DEPOnline  Workshops  www.Stopthesoot.org website  List server messaging system  Program Staff

SLIDE 12

Retrofit Devices

 Diesel Particulate Filters and Catalytic Converters

 DPFs - $6,000-18,000 – > 85% PM redux  DOCs- $1,500- 3,500 - 25% PM redux

 Meet definition of BART  USEPA or CARB verified diesel retrofit emission control and reductions (% )

SLIDE 13

Reimbursement

 Covered cost  BART & ancillary items for turnkey  Installation labor  Not covered  Consumable items such as replacement filters  Facility upgrades

 electrical services for regeneration systems

 Remedial repairs necessary to retrofit vehicle  Existing damage, wear and tear, or modifications precluding installation of BART.  Non-contract installations unless under approved grant.

SLIDE 14

1. Owner identifies Regulated Vehicles 2. Determine appropriate BART & Installer 3. Submit Inventory/ cost estimate form

 includes inventory of all diesels  support docs for exempts/ lower BARTs

4. DEP review/ approve cost estimates 5. Installation 6. Submittals and Recordkeeping 7. One-Time Compliance Inspections

Basic Program Steps

SLIDE 15

Determining BART

 Owner Research  Manufacturer and CARB/ USEPA specifications

 Engine Model Year  Duty Cycle  Vehicle/ Equipment Type  EGR/ non-EGR

 Examination and Observations by Authorized Installer

 Exhaust Temperature Profiles  Backpressure Monitoring  Sizing Concerns

SLIDE 16

SLIDE 17

Why Collect This Information?

 Retrofits meet law  Internal controls/ prevent fraud  Pre-populate Compliance Form  Satisfy procurement process  Determine funds availability

 = = > DEP review & approval

 Letter with due dates for installations

SLIDE 18

Compliance Form

 Owner downloads-prints & signs after install

 Enter “retrofit device family name” by hand  Send copy to DEP, original with vehicle  Form due to DEP 5 days after retrofit installation is complete (Owner signature & device family name)

 Installation verified at next emissions inspection

 Inspector signs compliance form

 Owner sends copy of signed form to DEP  Form due 30 days after inspection

 Must have Inspector signature

 Original stays with vehicle

Tailpipe technologies

 DOC (diesel oxidation catalyst)  DPF (diesel particulate filter)  Mostly muffler replacements + ancillary

SLIDE 21

Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC)

 BART Level 1 Devices

 Have a PM reduction capability of 25%

 Uses a catalytically induced reaction that converts PM, CO and Hydrocarbons to CO2 and H2O (usually platinum catalyst)  Does not use a filter

SLIDE 22

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)

 BART Level 3 Devices – 85% PM reduction  Uses a filter to “trap” PM particles in the exhaust

 Passive

 Uses a catalyst to reduce PM ignition temperature and PM is incinerated using exhaust heat

 Active

 Uses an external source of heat to incinerate the PM trapped in the filter  Cooler/ low-power duty cycles or varied use

 Dual regeneration filters have both a passive and active system

SLIDE 23

Retrofit Device Label

Serial Number Family Name Manufacturer Information

SLIDE 24

BART Warranty & Installation Requirements

 Retrofit, installation and engine damage  Must repair any damage to vehicle caused by normal use of retrofit  Vehicle has to be in good working order

 High oil consumption is bad for BARTs

 Must maintain BART retrofit device as per manufacturer specifications  On-Road = 5 years or mileage cutoff  Off-Road = 5 years or 4200 hours

SLIDE 25

Retrofit Maintenance

 Owners-

 Retrofit Maintenance  ash removal, filter cleaning & regenerations  Proper fuels (ULSF, B20)  No fryer oil  Repair damage  Poor Vehicle maintenance impacts BART  Excessive idling effects BART maintenance  On vehicle to end-of-life (N.J.A.C. 7: 27-14.3)
