Diesel Emission Reduction Act 2022 Solicitation
This year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is allocating to Connecticut a minimum of $355,242, authorized under the federal Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA), for projects to reduce diesel pollution in the state. In addition, DEEP has reserved the opportunity to more than double its DERA allocation using funds available through the “DERA Option” under Connecticut’s Volkswagen Mitigation Program (VW Program); this could increase the total to as much as $1,188,612. DEEP is seeking grant proposals from municipalities, organizations, and businesses for diesel emissions reduction projects that are environmentally and economically beneficial, can be initiated promptly, and will be completed by August 31, 2023. Information on the webinar and guidance on the 2022 state DERA project proposals can be found at this link.
