17 during an 8-hour shift, its D7E hybrid dozer burns 19.5 percent fewer gallons of fuel than a conventional dozer while achieving a 10.3 percent increase in productivity. The D7E model burns 6.2 gallons per hour compared to a conventional dozer which burns 7.7 gallons per hour.41 Fuel usage and savings are dependent on the make and model of the construction equipment used. The Project Applicant should calculate project-specific savings and provide manufacturer specifications indicating fuel burned per hour. Implement a Construction Vehicle Inventory Tracking System CAPCOA’s Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures42 report recommends that the Project Applicant provide a detailed plan that discusses a construction vehicle inventory tracking system to ensure compliances with construction mitigation measures. The system should include strategies such as requiring engine run time meters on equipment, documenting the serial number, horsepower, manufacture age, fuel, etc. of all onsite equipment and daily logging of the operating hours of the equipment. Specifically, for each on-road construction vehicle, nonroad construction equipment, or generator, the contractor should submit to the developer’s representative a report prior to bringing said equipment on site that includes:43 • Equipment type, equipment manufacturer, equipment serial number, engine manufacturer, engine model year, engine certification (Tier rating), horsepower, and engine serial number. • The type of emission control technology installed, serial number, make, model, manufacturer, and EPA/CARB verification number/level. • The Certification Statement 44 signed and printed on the contractor’s letterhead. Furthermore, the contractor should submit to the developer’s representative a monthly report that, for each on-road construction vehicle, nonroad construction equipment, or generator onsite, includes: 45 • Hour-meter readings on arrival on-site, the first and last day of every month, and on off-site date. • Any problems with the equipment or emission controls. • Certified copies of fuel deliveries for the time period that identify: o Source of supply o Quantity of fuel o Quality of fuel, including sulfur content (percent by weight) 41http://www.capcoa.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/CAPCOA-Quantification-Report-9-14-Final.pdf 42http://www.capcoa.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/CAPCOA-Quantification-Report-9-14-Final.pdf 43 Diesel Emission Controls in Construction Projects, available at:http://www2.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2015-09/documents/nedc-model-contract-sepcification.pdf 44 Diesel Emission Controls in Construction Projects, available at:http://www2.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2015-09/documents/nedc-model-contract-sepcification.pdf The NEDC Model Certification Statement can be found in Appendix A. 45 Diesel Emission Controls in Construction Projects, available at:http://www2.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2015-09/documents/nedc-model-contract-sepcification.pdf
