In-Use Stationery agricultural engines
Owners or operators of affected engines were required to submit registration information to local air districts by March 1, 2008.
EXPLANATION: The amended Airborne Toxic Control Measure for Stationary Compression Ignition Engines (ATCM) includes requirements for stationary and portable diesel-fueled engines used exclusively in agriculture. Typically, these engines are used to pump water or provide power for growing crops or raising livestock. The amended ATCM affects the sale, purchase, installation, and use of new/used and in-use stationary and portable agricultural engines. The amended ATCM does not affect agricultural wind machines or motive (self-propelled) agricultural equipment with engines, such as tractors or harvesters; however, diesel engines not affected by the ATCM may be subject to other air quality regulations. Diesel engines used in agricultural production are a source of emissions for diesel exhaust particulate matter (diesel PM) and other pollutants that have known health effects.
