"And we saw today the kind of efficiency that a system and a facility like this creates. " Before the tour, however, Vilsack met with U.S. Sen. "The entire supply chain is now backing up," Vilsack said. Vilsack noted that President Barack Obama recently sent Labor Secretary Thomas Perez to California in an effort to mediate the strike.

Kansas Department of Health and Environment: BoA Kansas Clean Diesel Program. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment established the Kansas Clean Diesel Program to use funds from the EPA for providing grants to help school districts, truck fleet owners, construction companies and other businesses install proven clean diesel technologies.
The Kansas Clean Diesel Program can help advance these technologies by offsetting costs associated with implementing diesel emissions reductions projects. New Funding Round for Schools: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded funds in 2013 to Kansas and other states as part of the ongoing Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) State Grant Program. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment will use those funds to provide grants of up to $50,000 to selected school districts to help reduce the emissions from their diesel bus fleets. Due to funding limitations, KDHE is focusing the grant in areas where air quality is a higher concern.
