Description
The MPCA is seeking a contractor that will lead the effort and partner with Tribal nations, hearth retailers, and/or other entities to identify and replace old, non-Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified wood stoves in the state of Minnesota. This program is intended to offer deeply discounted or free heating systems for all Tribal members (up to a certain dollar amount).
The program will replace old wood-burning equipment with one of the following:
• approved, EPA-certified wood heating device that has a catalyst or uses hybrid-catalyst technology.
• gas (natural gas or propane) furnace.
• Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP).
The intent of this RFP is to award funding to one applicant (single organization or team). Multiple organizations may work together, but one organization will need to submit as the lead applicant.
The MPCA will approve wood-heating devices that will qualify for reimbursement based on a subset of the list of EPA-certified equipment.
The goal is to reduce emissions of fine particles and other pollutants as well as personal exposure to wood smoke pollution for all Tribal members. Wood smoke accounts for over half of the fine particulate pollution caused by humans in the state of Minnesota. Fine particles can cause serious health impacts. Heating with old, non-EPA certified wood stoves and other wood heating appliances is a significant contributor to these fine particle emissions. The EPA has updated standards for wood heating devices.
Many Tribal members in Minnesota heat with wood. All federally recognized Indian Country is defined in Minnesota law as Environmental Justice Areas. Investment in new heating devices for all Tribal members can have an impact on air quality as well as the local economy in these Environmental Justice Areas, making the impacts of this project multi-faceted.
