Section 7:27-34.10A - Alternate compliance option-non-yard truck

(a) An owner or operator may request approval to apply the best available control technology for a new non-yard truck that is not registered as a motor vehicle or an in-use non-yard truck, if it cannot meet the performance standards at N.J.A.C. 7:27-34.5 and 34.7.

(b) The Department will grant the application if the owner or operator:

1. Demonstrates that it is not reasonably able to comply with the applicable performance standards because a certified on-road engine or certified Tier 4 final off-road engine with the appropriate physical or performance characteristics for the particular application is not available from any manufacturer or dealer;

2. Provides a list of manufacturers that the owner or operator has contacted and the manufacturers' responses to a request to purchase;

3. Demonstrates that use of the non-yard truck is necessary to prevent a disruption in operations; and

4. Provides an analysis of all commercially available control technologies that reduce PM and NO_x and demonstrates that the alternative proposal will achieve the maximum possible PM and NO_x reductions for the particular engine or non-yard truck.
