OullooklW6V73ZJPlTAMUCC InterlocalAmd9.doc Exhibit C -1 Pollution Prevention Partnership Work Plan For City of Corpus Christi Purposes The following is a work plan, budget and time line for the Pollution Prevention Partnership: Timeline The funding that the Pollution Prevention Partnership is currently operating out of is funding received from the 2009/2010 legislative session and will be depleted by April of 2012. Supplemental funding to continue Pollution Prevention Partnership activities through August 31, 2012 is provided by the proposed work plan. Budget Funding needed to continue Pollution Prevention Partnership activities through August, 2012 is $70,000. Work Plan The Pollution Prevention Partnership (P3) will develop, implement and deliver a Clean Fleet program for the Corpus Christi air shed. The Clean Fleet program will measure vehicle emissions from area public and private fleets for hydro carbons and NOx, coordinate emission reducing repairs to identified polluting fleet vehicles, re -test the emissions of each repaired vehicle, calculate and quantify emissions reductions as a result of repairs, and document the quantified emissions reductions directly related to the Clean Fleet program. P3 has received verbal commitments from the public fleets of Nueces County, Corpus Christi Independent School District, Texas Department of Transportation, and the Port of Corpus Christi to participate in the Clean Fleet program. P3 has also received a verbal commitment from the Regional Transportation Authority to emissions test their diesel buses, test new CNG buses as they come into the fleet and provide an emissions comparison of a bus route run with a diesel bus and the same route with a CNG bus. The Regional Transportation Authority has purchased ten CNG buses and this comparison and database will be developed for each of the 10 buses. Additionally, P3 has received a verbal commitment from an air conditioning /heating company fleet, a delivery service fleet, a plumbing company fleet, and a construction company fleet to participate in the Clean Fleet program. Frequency of emissions testing for each fleet will be mileage based. Vehicles driven 20,000 miles per year or less will be tested annually and vehicles driven in excess of 20,000 miles per year will be tested quarterly. A minimum of 1 emissions testing will be performed each month. The approximate total of vehicles; both gasoline and diesel, committed to participate in the program thus far with preliminary surveying is 400. Additional public and private fleets will be recruited to participate throughout the term of the program with a total vehicle participation goal for the program of 800 vehicles. Deliverables P3 will provide a report and database each month that includes a quantification of vehicles solicited to participate in emissions testing, quantification of vehicles successfully recruited to participate in emissions testing, quantification of each vehicle screened for emissions, quantification of NOx and hydrocarbons of each vehicle screened, quantification of polluting Exhibit C -2 Page 1 of 2 C:1 Users \mhough\AppOatalocalXM!crosof kWindowslTemporary Internet FileslContent .OutlooklW6V73ZJPITAMUCCAmd1 EAC -1 workPlanBudgetTimeline.doex vehicles identified, quantification of vehicles repaired, quantification of vehicle emissions read after emission reduction repairs, and a quantification of emissions reduced as a result of the program. Each monthly report should be SIP defensible due to the vigorous and robust quantification of emissions reductions as a result of the program. Due to the significant cuts in funding received, general public education and outreach activities and funded vehicle repairs provided by the Pollution Prevention Partnership will no longer take place.
