乙醇基础设施激励计划
目的
The 乙醇基础设施激励计划 was designed to alleviate retailers across the state from costs associated with the installation of blender pumps.
南达科他州拨款3美元.5 million over the next five years to get the program on its feet. In 2012, $950,000 will be available for ethanol blender pumps installations at retail motor fuel stations.
的指导方针
- The program awards up to $25,000 for the first pump and $10,000 for each additional pump.
- A portion of the annual fund allocation will be awarded on a first-come-first-serve basis. 最后的19万美元将通过竞争获得.
- Funds can only be used for dispenser, associated hardware, and other tank fueling infrastructure.
- Funds will be provided to grantees on a reimbursement basis with proper supporting documentation. (见下文)
- Projects must be completed and reimbursement must be requested within 6 months of grant approval date. 政府教育署长可批准书面延期.

Awardees must continue to sell ethanol blends in excess of 15 percent for a minimum of 24 months of receiving assistance, 或偿还资助奖励. GOED may forgive a failure to comply if any of the following conditions are met:
- 燃料短缺使得遵守规定不切实际;
- Changes in fuel market conditions that make compliance impractical;
- Changes in state or federal regulations that make compliance impractical.
*The amount sought to be repaid may be prorated based upon the number of months less than 24 that ethanol blends were sold.
另外, a report or reports of quantities of biofuel blends sold may be required during and after the 24 months of receiving assistance. South Dakota motor fuel retailers must agree to comply with pump removal guidelines, 并按国家法律规定处理更换后的水泵.
合作伙伴
Funding for the grant program was made possible by a partnership between South Dakota Ethanol Producers and the State of South Dakota. 在2011年的立法会议期间, South Dakota Ethanol Producers agreed to a reduction in Ethanol Producer Payments while temporarily allocating a portion of their remaining Ethanol Producer Payments to the blender-pump grant program and a portion to the Revolving Economic Development Initiative fund.
