Environmental Performance CommitmentsEnvironmental Performance CommitmentsEPCsEPCs

An Environmental Analysis Framework for Federal Transportation Recovery Projects in Lower Manhattan was developed to lower the potential for adverse environmental impacts. This Framework includes a set of common Environmental Performance Commitments (EPCs).

Signatories: MTA, PANYNJ, NYSDOTIn cooperation with: FTA, LMDC

The EPCs cover the following The EPCs cover the following resource areas:resource areas:

• Air Quality

EPCsEPCs Air Quality

1. Use ULSD fuel in off-road construction equipment with engines of 50 HP and above.

2. Use diesel engine retrofit technology in off-road equipment to further reduce emissions, such as Diesel Oxidation Catalyst / Diesel Particulate Filters, engine upgrades or engine replacements.


3. Limit unnecessary idling times on diesel powered engines to 3 minutes.

4. Locate diesel powered exhausts away from fresh air intakes.


5. Control dust related to construction site through a Soil Erosion Sediment Control Plan that includes:a. Spraying of a suppressing agent on

dust pile (non-hazardous, biodegradable);

b. Containment of fugitive dust; andc. Adjustment for meteorological

conditions as appropriate.

U.S. EPA Emission Standards for U.S. EPA Emission Standards for new non-road Diesel Engines:new non-road Diesel Engines:

Tier 1 (1996 – 2000): Phased in for different engine sizes NOx 30%

Tier 2 (2001 – 2006): NOx, HC and PM Includes smaller engines ( <37kW )

Tier 3 (2006 – 2008): Engines between 37kW and 560 kW (50 and 750 hp) NOx 60%, PM 40% from Tier 1 emissions levels

Air Quality

U.S. EPA Diesel Sulfur Rule:U.S. EPA Diesel Sulfur Rule:

Highway Diesel Rule (2006-2010): Beginning in 2006, 80% of highway fuel = 15-ppm sulfur Remaining 20% = 500-ppm Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel By 2010, all highway diesel fuel = 15-ppm ULSD

Non-road Diesel Rule (2007 – 2010): Two step process, phasing in non-road fuel to 500-ppm

initially By 2010, non-road fuel = 15-ppm ULSD

Note: Hardship provisions exist as well as exemptions for Alaska
