The regula#ion states that any municipality and utility that owns, leases, or operates on-road diesei fueled heavy-du#y vehicle with a 1960 to 2406 model year and manufacture�'s gross vehic�e weight rating (GVWR) greater than 14,000 ibs will be required to reduce diese( Particulate Matter�PM} emissions with Best Avaiiable Controi Technology �BACT). The regulation also set three phases implementation schedule for the fleet aperators. The Equipment Services Section completed phase one �20 percent of the total effective vehicles) on December 31, 2007. Currentiy, Redwood Ci�r's fleet is required to complete phase two (50 percent of the totaf effective vehicfes) o# the implementation schedule by December 31, 2009. There are a total of seven heavy duty diesel vehicles that fit that requirement and in order to gain compliance, retrofitting the �ehicles is required. In order to properly retrofit these vehicies the purchase and ins�aliation of diesel particulate reduction filters are necessary. Staff from Equipment Services has done extensive research on the most reiiabfe and best technviogy a�ailable for this retrofit project and determined #hat the uCleaire Horizon" electric particulate filter system provided by Ironman is #he best fiit for the �ity's operations. Sta�f also found that this system is appraved by the State of California Air Resources Board as a device that is capable of reducing 85% of Particulate Matter (PM) emissions.
