Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Description: The grant agreement provides funding to Maryland Environmental Service (MES).
Specifically, the recipient will use the funding to implement port-related projects with the Maryland Port Administration (MPA).
This funding for equipment upgrades will help improve air quality from port-related activities in the Baltimore region and will also contribute towards a positive economic impact to the state of Maryland.
Activities: The activities include the replacement of 42 nonroad diesel-powered equipment units including; thirteen (13) terminal tractors, twenty-three (23) forklifts, three (3) tire manipulation trucks; two (2) diesel-powered mobile pumps, and one (1) diesel-powered air compressor.
Eight (8) of the terminal tractors will be replaced with zero-emission units, and the remaining five (5) units will have Tier 4 final engines.
The forklifts will be replaced with zero-emission units.
The other equipment will have Tier 4 final engines.
Replacement of the two (2) mobile pumps and one (1) mobile air compressor was selected because of the cost-effectiveness and for emission reductions.
Cargo handling equipment accounts for the largest percentages of total emissions across all pollutants and includes the replacement of thirteen (13) diesel-powered terminal tractors, three (3) tire manipulation trucks, essentially on-highway vehicles used in a primarily non-road manner, and twenty-three (23) forklifts with a mix of zero emission and Tier 4 final units.
Therefore, the equipment identified in the proposal was the result of a Maryland Port Authority led strategic outreach plan to businesses associated with cargo movement at the POB.
Subrecipient: No subawards are included in this assistance agreement.
Outcomes: The anticipated deliverables include the replacement of 42 nonroad diesel-powered equipment units, which will help improve air quality from port-related activities in the Baltimore region and will also contribute towards a positive economic impact on the state of Maryland.
The expected outcomes from upgrading the nonroad equipment include an annual reduction of 0.020 tons PM2.5, a lifetime reduction of 0.103 tons PM2.5, an annual reduction of 0.371 tons NOx, and a lifetime reduction of 1.772 tons NOx.
The expected outcomes from upgrading the cargo handling equipment include an annual reduction of 0.401 tons PM2.5, a lifetime reduction of 1.696 tons PM2.5, an annual reduction of 9.586 tons NOx, and a lifetime reduction of 69.463 tons NOx.
The intended beneficiaries include residents and communities located within the proposed project area of Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and Anne Arundel County.
