EPA Awards $59,120 Grant To Elkton-Pigeon-Bay Port Laker School District For Clean School Bus Project
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 has awarded a $59,120 grant to the Elkton-Pigeon-Bay Port Laker School District in Pigeon, Huron County, Mich., for a project to cut diesel emissions from the district's school buses.
EPA said the grant will be used to retrofit 12 school buses with emission-reducing diesel oxidation catalysts and replace the district's heaviest polluting bus with a new, low-emission bus.
In addition, the district will start using B20, a bio-diesel, and hold a workshop for other Huron County school districts on the benefits of operating with B20 and installing diesel oxidation catalysts on their buses.
