SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - More than $25 million in federal grants are being awarded to help reduce diesel pollution in California by school buses, trucks and industrial machinery.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Wednesday it chose to fund eight projects in California that would have the most dramatic effect on reducing harmful diesel emissions.
The Port of Long Beach receives more than $4 million to upgrade cargo handling gear, and the Port of Oakland gets $2 million to retrofit trucks with cleaner diesel equipment.
San Diego County is being awarded $1.5 million for 125 polluting school buses, and the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District receives $6 million to retrofit dirty school buses and farming equipment.
