Any emissions control device used by <br /> the contractor shall achieve emissions reductions that are no less than what <br /> could be achieved by a Level 3 diesel emissions control strategy for a <br /> similarly sized engine as defined by CARB regulations. <br /> ? A copy of each unit's certified tier specification, BACT documentation, <br /> and CARB or AQMD operating permit shall be provided at the time of <br /> mobilization of each applicable unit of equipment. <br /> For additional measures to reduce off-road construction equipment, refer to <br /> the mitigation measure tables located at the following website: AQMD-7 <br /> www.admd. og v/cega/handbook/mitigation/MM intro.html. <br /> The lead agency should consider encouraging construction contractors to <br /> apply for AQMD "SOON" funds. As an example, incentives could be <br /> provided in the bidding process for those construction contractors who apply <br /> for AQMD "SOON" funds. The "SOON" program provides up to $60 million gQMD-8 <br /> dollars to accelerate clean up of off-road diesel vehicles, such as heavy duty <br /> construction equipment.
