Please by the California Air Resources Board,"Today,operating the best- <br /> list any data sources used and selling commercial lawn mower for one hour emits as much smog- <br /> show the steps of any forming pollution as driving the best-selling 2017 passenger car,a <br /> calculations. Feel free to submit Toyota Camry,about 300 miles—approximately the distance from <br /> in a separate document if Los Angeles to Las Vegas." <br /> clearly labelled: <br /> Using the EPA Greenhouse Gases Equivalencies Calculator shows <br /> that each commercial mower the Town uses emits as much annual <br /> emissions as 4 gasoline passenger vehicles. <br /> Using a ratio from Fueleconomy.gov showing that EVs are 2—3 time <br /> more efficient at converting energy into motion,replacing one of our <br /> current gasoline-powered mowers with an electric mower should be <br /> equivalent to removing 2 cars from the road each year and save 9.3 <br /> metric tons of Carbon Dioxide(CO2)equivalent(MTCDE).Over the <br /> 7-year expected lifetime of this mower this should save on average <br /> 65.1 MTCDE. <br /> According to the EPA's Diesel Emissions Quantifier,replacing our <br /> diesel garbage truck with an all-electric garbage truck will save 33.11 <br /> metric tons of CO2 emissions per year.Over the expected 7 year <br /> working life of this truck,this will add up to 231.78 metric tons of <br /> avoided emissions. <br /> 21. For how many years will this As discussed above,the expected lifetime will be 7 years for both the <br /> emissions reduction take place new electric mower and the electric garbage truck. <br /> as a result of your project? <br /> Please consider the expected <br /> lifetime of the <br /> technology/program/impact <br /> etc. <br /> 22. Please describe the location of These are avoided vehicle emissions and so they would be burned in <br /> the emissions reduction. Where Chapel Hill. <br /> would fossil fuels have been <br /> burned if not for your project? <br /> For projects creating electricity <br /> usage reductions, it can be <br /> difficult to determine the <br /> location of the power <br /> produced. Please feel free to <br /> state "Grid-tied electricity <br /> reduction" <br /> 23. Please describe any other <br /> aspect of your project that is <br /> relevant to the amount of <br /> emissions that it will reduce or <br /> avoid. <br /> Criterion 3- Efficient use of Funds <br /> 1. Please estimate the impact of your project per grant dollar requested. <br /> Page 11 of 21 <br />
