EPA solicits grant proposals annually, pursuant to authority provided by the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA).  The program is highly competitive, with proposed applications far outstripping available funding.  The Cross Sound project is expected to reduce annual nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), and carbon dioxide equiva- lent (CO2-e) emissions by an estimated 29 tons, 1.34 tons and 3,331 tons, respectively, in addition to conserving fuel. “We value the opportunity to work with EPA on this project of repowering the New London and Cape Henlopen ferries. This project advances the environmental improve- ment goals for our fleet of vessels, an effort which began almost ten years ago by deploying new, efficient, low-emis- sion engines to improve air quality locally and throughout the region,” said John P. Wronowski, owner and president of Cross Sound Ferry Services, Inc.  When the next round of DERAsolicitations is announced, probably later this winter or spring, PVA will publicize it to the membership. n All American Marine.....................................38 Aon Risk Management..................................45 Arcadia Alliance..........................................44 Arthur J.
