In January 2001,
Governor Gray Davis issued Executive Order D-24-01 to
establish the Emission Reduction Credit Bank, which would be
administered by CARB. The NOx and PM10 emission reduction
credits generated by this program through a financial
incentive process will be made available to natural gas
fired turbine power plant peaking sources that need emission
offsets in order to add new or expanded capacity for plants
that are on-line in 2001.
CARB was allocated $68 million to fund NOx and PM10
emission reduction projects under this Executive Order. In
March 2001, CARB issued a state-wide solicitation for
eligible projects. CARB requested AQMD to administer those
emission reduction projects that are qualified under CARB guidelines
and are located in the South Coast Air Basin.
During the past five years, the
AQMD has received and spent approximately $30,000,000 on emission reduction
projects under this program. This amount
included monies for special projects: $3.1 million for the
installation of PM traps on on-road vehicles, $1 million for NOx and PM reduction projects at the Port of Los Angeles,
and $0.5 million for the development of diesel particulate
matter filters for airport ground support equipment (GSE).
The total sum of $24,322,925, which excludes the three
special projects, has been allocated towards NOx and PM
reduction projects that include construction equipment,
marine vessel, on- and off-road vehicles, and MSRC projects.
The Board-approved projects are listed in the Board letters in Table 1.
