8. Air Quality Division May 2016 Page 8 Through the early retirement of heavy-duty vehicles and pieces of equipment, particularly those with large diesel engines By replacing older engines with newer models with more stringent federal emission standards for NO X and other pollutants How Does TERP Reduce NO X Emissions from Mobile Sources?

9. Air Quality Division May 2016 Page 9 Meet Adrian, TERP Grantee Adrian owns a small trucking company in Houston, Texas. Adrian owned and operated a 1989 Peterbilt dump truck. He operates 100% of the time in the Houston area hauling sand and gravel between job sites.

10. Air Quality Division May 2016 Page 10 Adrian attended the Houston Trucking Show where he met TERP staff members and found out about the Emissions Reduction Incentive Grants (ERIG) program. Adrian’s TERP Story

11. Air Quality Division May 2016 Page 11 Adrian received an e-mail from TERP announcing the opening of an ERIG round. Adrian attended an ERIG application workshop in Houston led by TERP staff. Armed with good information, Adrian began to complete the ERIG application for replacement projects. TERP staff was readily available to answer Adrian’s questions. Adrian’s TERP Story

12. Air Quality Division May 2016 Page 12 After comparing the emissions of the vehicle being replaced and the emissions of the vehicle being purchased, Adrian found it hard to believe that not only would TERP help him replace his old truck, the new truck would emit 98% fewer emissions than his old one. 98% Cleaner Adrian’s TERP Story

13. Air Quality Division May 2016 Page 13 Maximum Grant Amount at 80% of the Cost to Replace the Vehicle $123,200 Maximum Grant Amount at $15K Cost per Ton of NO X Reduced $225,200 Adrian Requested: $120,000 Adrian’s TERP Story New Vehicle Cost = $154,000

14. Air Quality Division May 2016 Page 14 Adrian drove his truck to his local mechanic who certified that the diesel engine had at least seven years of useful life left. Adrian’s TERP Story

15. Air Quality Division May 2016 Page 15 Adrian’s TERP Story With the application deadline drawing near, Adrian put the finishing touches on his application. Just to be safe, Adrian hand-delivered his application to TERP.

16. Air Quality Division May 2016 Page 16 Three months later, Adrian was notified that his project was selected for award! Adrian’s TERP Story

17. Air Quality Division May 2016 Page 17 Within a few weeks, Adrian got a contract from the TCEQ in the mail. Adrian agreed to: –destroy his old truck; –operate the grant-funded vehicle 100% of the time in the Houston area for the next seven years; and –report the usage of the grant- funded vehicle to the TCEQ on an annual basis for the next seven years. Adrian’s TERP Story

18. Air Quality Division May 2016 Page 18 Adrian’s TERP Story Adrian was reimbursed $120,000 Adrian was left with a balance of only $34,000

19. Air Quality Division May 2016 Page 19 Adrian’s TERP Story After being reimbursed, and as a final step in the replacement process, Adrian destroyed his old truck.
