What Projects Are Eligible for a Grant?
For complete information on the types of projects and expenses
that may be eligible for a grant, refer to the latest Requests for
Grant Applications (RFA) and the
TERP Guidelines for Emissions Reduction Incentive Grants
(April 2008). General information about eligible
applicants, eligible counties, and the types of projects that may
be funded is provided below.
Eligible Applicants. Any person (i.e.,
individual, corporation, organization, governmental agency,
business or any other legal entity) who operates or plans to
operate on-road heavy-duty vehicles, non-road equipment, or
stationary engines primarily in one or more of the nonattainment
areas or other eligible counties of the state is potentially
eligible for a grant. For infrastructure projects, persons owning
or operating the infrastructure in an eligible county may also be
eligible for funding.
For particular funding periods, the TCEQ may limit eligibility
to certain types of applicants and/or to certain counties. In some
cases, the TCEQ may also allow a person other than the owner or
operator of the vehicle or equipment to apply for and receive a
grant, as long as the grant-funded project supports activities that
meet these guidelines and will help to achieve the goals of the
TERP.
Eligible Counties. The counties in which
projects may be eligible for funding include the state’s air
quality nonattainment areas and other affected counties.
The TCEQ may limit funding under a grant application period to
eligible projects in certain counties. Be sure to read the RFA
before applying for a grant.
