    Cleaning, Solvent
    Applies to: Any facility carrying out processes that involve cleaning with petroleum-based (non-water-based) solvents, including degreasers and solvent-based parts washers. The regulations also cover the use and disposal of solvent wetted rags to manually wipe soils from the metal surfaces (hand wiping).
    Requires: Hazardous waste regulations may apply to storage and disposal; some facilities may need air emissions permits.

    Engine Emissions (On-board Diagnostics)
    Back to Top
    Applies to: Manufacturers or importers of new heavy-duty vehicles or engines intended for highway use; also applies to anyone who converts heavy-duty vehicles or engines used in highway vehicles to run on alternative fuels
    Requires:

    Manufacturers must install systems that monitor the functioning of the vehicle or engine emission control system, and that alerts the operator if corrective action is needed

    Applies to: Anyone who is rebuilding or modifying a heavy-duty highway diesel engine from model year 2004 or later
    Requires:

    The rebuilt engine must continue to meet the same emissions standards as those that applied to the engine when new, and the owner must maintain records of work performed and other specified information for at least two years.
