G:SNAP, ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL(ULSD) FOR CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK, KLAMATH COUNTY, OREGON. ULSD FUEL ENABLES THE USE OF CLEANER TECHNOLOGY DIESEL ENGINES AND VEHICLES, RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED AIR QUALITY. ANNUAL EMISSION REDUCTIONS WILL BE EQUIVALENT TO REMOVING THE POLLUTION FROM MORE THAN 90 PERCENT OF TODAYS TRUCKS AND BUSES, WHEN THE CURRENT HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLE FLEET HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REPLACED IN 2030. TESTS COMPLETED BY THE EPA SHOW THAT USING THE ADVANCED EMISSIONS CONTROL DEVICES ENABLED BY THE USE OF ULSD FUEL REDUCES EMISSIONS OF HYDROCARBONS AND OXIDES OF NITROGEN (PRECURSORS OF OZONE), AS WELL AS PARTICULATE MATTER TO NEAR-ZERO LEVELS. THIS IS THE GREATEST REDUCTION IN HARMFUL EMISSIONS OF SOOT, OR PARTICULATE MATTER (PM), EVER ACHIEVED FROM CARS AND TRUCKS.
