Town of Mammoth Lakes Woodstove Replacement Program
The Town’s Woodstove Replacement Program still has funds available, and changes have been made to the requirements making more stoves eligible for the program. The Program is made possible through funding provided by the Great Basin Air Pollution Control District.
Any stove or insert that does not comply with the U.S. EPA’s 2020 New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) is eligible for the program. To determine if your stove or insert model is eligible for the program, look for a metal plate with EPA information on the back of your stove or consult the EPA’s Woodstove Database here.
There are two incentive options for the program. A standard incentive of $2,000, which all households qualify for, regardless of income, and an enhanced incentive of $4,000 for eligible low-income households. To determine if you qualify, consult the Program Guidelines on the project website.
All interested Mammoth Lakes property owners are encouraged to submit the application on the project website or contact Michael Peterka at (760) 914-3669.
