The Imperial County Air Pollution Control District (ICAPCD) is accepting proposals to reduce particulate matter emissions (PM10 and PM2.5) from paving unpaved lots and roads within the Assembly Bill (AB) 617 Community Corridor of Brawley-Westmorland-Calipatria. Proposals must be in accordance with the Imperial County Air Pollution Control District Project Plan for the Paving Program, with applicants committing to the following criteria in order to be considered for funding grants:

 

• Applicant must be the owner of the area to be paved or have authority to pave the area from a legally binding document such as a long-term lease agreement for the duration of the project life.

• Applicant must maintain the paved area and make project available for inspection if requested by ICAPCD and/or CARB staff during the entire contract period.

• Paved area must be sufficiently utilized as demonstrated in the application.

• All property taxes must be current at the time of application and recipient is responsible for obtaining any permits required to do the project.

• Applicant or their sponsor must have the financial capacity to complete, operate, and maintain the project.

• If selected, applicant must provide proof of bid advertisement (e.g., newspaper).  

• Project must meet all State of California and Imperial County Paving regulations.

• With exception of schools, cost sharing is required for municipal entities and non-profit organizations at 15% of total eligible project costs (i.e., AB 617 incentive funds will cover maximum of up to 85% of eligible project costs) and private and any other entities at 40%.

 

Routine maintenance and rehabilitation projects are not eligible for funding, and applicants may not claim emission reduction credits from the project during contract period.  All proposals are due to the ICAPCD no later than the close of business (5:00 pm) on Friday October 31, 2025, unless prior alternate arrangements are made with the ICAPCD.
