The Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 awarded a $727,815 Project Grant to the Cleveland Cuyahoga County Port Authority through the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) National Grants program (CFDA 66.039). The grant will fund the replacement of a 1997 Caterpillar 990 Series II wheel loader with a new Volvo L350H wheel loader to improve air quality and reduce diesel emissions surrounding the Cleveland Bulk Terminal and greater Cleveland area. Quarterly and final reports will document reductions in nitrogen oxides, particulate matter 2.5, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide emissions. The new loader purchase and scrapping of the existing loader will benefit communities near the port through enhanced health outcomes. The grant aims to support Cuyahoga County's attainment of national ambient air quality standards.
