This $152,715 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 under the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) State Grants program (CFDA 66.040) will fund the American Samoa Power Authority (ASPA) to replace two eligible diesel-fueled trucks with new, more efficient diesel vehicles. The project aims to reduce road vehicle emissions and improve air quality in American Samoa through the use of cleaner, lower-emission trucks with advanced technologies like lightweight materials, fuel-efficient engines, and telematics. The anticipated annual emission reductions include 1.027 tons of NOx, 0.06 tons of PM2.5, 0.067 tons of HC, and 0.237 tons of CO. Over the lifetime of the new trucks, the expected emission reductions are 10.27 tons of NOx, 0.594 tons of PM2.5, and 0.672 tons of HC. This grant award has an effective date of March 1, 2024 and a completion date of February 28, 2027.
