Tampered Diesel Truck Restoration Program

The Tampered Diesel Truck Restoration Program provides financial assistance for diesel trucks that have been tampered or modified so that they no longer meet federal and/or local emissions standards. Tampering may include the alteration or removal of the emissions control components. Several counties along the Wasatch Front, including Davis County, have recently been designated as serious non-attainment areas by the EPA for particulate matter pollution. A diesel truck that has been tampered may emit up to 100 times more pollution than a truck that has not been tampered, which significantly impacts local pollution levels. To legally be registered and operated along the Wasatch Front, these tampered diesel trucks must be restored to their stock configuration. The Davis County Health Department will not seek any penalty or enforcement for diesel vehicle owners that participate to restore their diesel vehicle to a stock configuration through this program. 

Funding for this program was ordered by the court to be paid by Diesel Power Gear for violating the Clean Air Act by tampering with the emissions control devices of diesel trucks.

HOW DO I APPLY?

Owners of tampered diesel trucks that meet all the qualifications listed above can print and fill out a  Tampered Diesel Truck Restoration Program Application and return it to the Davis County Health Department Environmental Health Services Division along with proof of income and proof of vehicle ownership.
