1.0 Purpose.
The purpose of this regulation is to ensure that emissions of hydrocarbons (HC), and carbon monoxide (CO) from light-duty vehicles in the State of Delaware do not adversely impact public health, safety, and welfare.
This program shall be known as the "Low Enhanced Inspection and Maintenance Program" or "LEIM Program", and shall be identified as such in the balance of this regulation.
(06/12/12)
2.0 Applicability and General Provisions.
2.1 Applicability.
2.1.1 Except as exempted in 2.2 of this regulation, the requirements of this regulation shall apply to all 1968 and later model year, light duty passenger cars and 1970 and later model year light duty trucks up to 8,500 pounds gross vehicle weight rating registered in New Castle and Kent Counties.
2.1.2 The requirements of 8.0 of this regulation shall apply to all certified emission repair technicians in the State of Delaware.
2.2 Exemptions. The following motor vehicles are exempt from the requirements of this regulation:
2.2.1 The five most recent model years of a light duty vehicle.
2.2.2 Vehicles manufactured and registered as Kit Cars.
2.2.3 Tactical military vehicles used exclusively for military field operations.
2.2.4 All motor vehicles with a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight over 8,500 pounds.
2.2.5 All motorcycles and mopeds.
2.2.6 All vehicles powered solely by electricity generated from solar cells and/or stored in batteries.
2.2.7 Non-road sources or vehicles not operated on public roads.
2.2.8 Model year vehicles 1996 and older powered solely by diesel fuel.
2.3 General Provisions.
2.3.1 Vehicles shall be pre-inspected prior to the emission inspection, and shall be prohibited from testing should any unsafe conditions be found. These unsafe conditions include, but are not limited to significant exhaust leaks, and significant fluid leaks. The Division and the Department shall not be responsible for major vehicle component failures during the test, of parts which were deficient or excessively worn prior to the start of the test.
2.3.2 Vehicles shall be rejected from testing, as covered in this regulation, if the exhaust system is missing or leaking, or if the vehicle is in an unsafe condition for testing.
2.3.3 Effective January 1, 1997 for vehicles registered in New Castle County and July 1, 1997 for vehicles registered in Kent County, in order to qualify for a waiver under 7.0 of this regulation on any 1996 or later model year vehicle, emission repairs shall be performed by a certified emission repair technician as defined in 8.0 of this regulation.
2.3.4 Vehicles with engines of a model year older than the chassis model year shall be required to pass the standards commensurate with the chassis model year.
2.3.5 Mixing vehicle classes (e.g., light duty with heavy duty) and certification types (e.g., California with Federal) within a single vehicle configuration shall be considered tampering.
2.3.6 Subject vehicles which are registered in the program area but are primarily operated in another LEIM area shall be tested, either in the area of primary operation, or in the area of registration. Alternate schedules may be established to permit convenient testing of these vehicles (e.g., vehicles belonging to students away at college should be rescheduled for testing during a visit home).
2.3.7 Vehicles which are operated on Federal installations located within State of Delaware shall be tested This requirement applies to all employee owned or leased vehicles (including vehicles owned, leased, or operated by civilian and military personnel on Federal installations) as well as agency owned or operated vehicles, except tactical military vehicles, operated on the installation.
2.3.7.1 This requirement shall not apply to visiting agency, employee, or military personnel vehicles as long as such visits do not exceed 60 calendar days per year.
2.3.7.2 In areas without test fees collected in the lane, arrangements shall be made by the installation with the LEIM program for reimbursement of the costs of tests provided for agency vehicles, at the discretion of the Director. The installation manager shall provide documentation of proof of compliance to the Director. The documentation shall include a list of subject vehicles and shall be updated periodically, as determined by the Director, but no less frequently than each inspection cycle. The installation shall use one of the following methods to establish proof of compliance:
2.3.7.2.1 Presentation of a valid certificate of compliance from the LEIM program, from any other LEIM program at least as stringent as the LEIM program described herein, or from any program deemed acceptable by the Director.
2.3.7.2.2 Presentation of proof of vehicle registration within the geographic area covered by the LEIM program, except for any Inspection and Maintenance program whose enforcement is not through registration denial.
2.3.7.2.3 Another method approved by the Director.
2.3.8 Vehicles that have been switched from an engine of one fuel type to another fuel type that is subject to the LEIM program (e.g., from a diesel engine to a gasoline engine) shall be subject to the test procedures and standards for the current fuel type.
2.3.9 Vehicles that are switched to a fuel type for which there is no certified configuration shall be tested according to the most stringent emission standards established for that vehicle type and model year. Emission control device requirements may be waived if the Division determines that the alternatively fueled vehicle configuration would meet the new vehicle standards for that model year without such devices.
2.3.10 Vehicles converted to run on alternate fuels, frequently called a dual-fuel vehicle, shall be tested and required to pass the most stringent standard for each fuel type.
2.3.11 Alternative fuel vehicles powered solely by a "clean fuel" such as compressed natural gas, propane, alcohol and similar non-gasoline fuels shall report for inspection to the same emission levels as gasoline powered cars until standards for clean fuel vehicles become available and are adopted by the State.
2.3.12 Dual-fuel vehicles able to be powered by more than one fuel, such as a clean fuel (compressed natural gas) and/or gasoline, shall report for inspection to the same emission levels as gasoline powered cars until standards for clean fuel vehicles become available and are adopted by the State.
2.3.13 Hybrid electric vehicles shall report for inspection to the same emission levels as gasoline powered cars until standards for hybrid electric vehicles become available and are adopted by the State.
