Section 7:27-32.8 - Emission reduction levels for regulated on-road diesel vehicles, regulated solid waste vehicles, regulated commercial buses and regulated off-road diesel equipment

(a) Except as set forth in (b) below, the owner of a vehicle or equipment that is subject to 7:27-32.7(a) or (b)1 shall ensure that the vehicle or equipment is retrofitted using BART no less stringent than the minimum BART level for that vehicle or equipment, as set forth in Tables 1 and 2 below.

TABLE 1
BART Level by Vehicle and Equipment Type
Vehicle or	Engine Model	Minimum BART
Equipment Type	Year	Level
Commercial buses	1994-2006	BART 3
	1988-1993	BART 2
	1987 and older	BART 1
Solid waste vehicle	1988-2006	BART 2
	1987 and older	BART 1
On-road vehicle other than a commercial bus	2006 and older	BART 2
or solid waste vehicle
Off-road equipment >175 horsepower	1996-2014*	BART 3
* BART installation requirements do not apply to engines in this category
that are rated from 175-750 horsepower and were certified to a particulate
emissions standard of 0.015 g/bhp-hr, or rated above 750 horsepower and were
certified to a particulate emissions standard of 0.03 g/bhp-hr phased in from
2011 to 2015.

TABLE 2
Best Available Retrofit Technology Minimum Control
	Minimum Control Efficiency
BART Level	(particulate emission reduction by weight)
3	85 percent
2	50 percent
1	25 percent

(b) The owner of a vehicle or equipment that is subject to 7:27-32.7(a) or (b)1 may repower or rebuild the engine in any on-road diesel vehicle or piece of off-road diesel equipment to achieve at least as great a particulate emission reduction by weight as the applicable BART level in Table 1. The repowered or rebuilt engine must be a certified configuration that meets a particulate emissions standard that is equal to or lower than the amount of diesel particulate emissions that would otherwise be emitted from the vehicle or equipment when using the required BART pursuant to 7:27-32.8(a). In the case of a repowered engine, the removed engine must be permanently placed out of service. Additionally, the manufacturer's brake horsepower rating for the repowered or rebuilt engine may exceed the brake horsepower rating of the existing engine by no more than 10 percent.
