a. I understand that only a currently installed, operational, non-EPA certified wood burning device used as a primary source of heat is eligible to be replaced under this program.

b. I understand that participants are limited to receiving one voucher per address.

c. I understand that applications are processed in the order received. Vouchers will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Funding is limited – there is no guarantee of a voucher. Vouchers are valid for four (4) weeks from issue date. Retroactive vouchers are NOT available. The expiration date may be extended at the discretion of the District.

d. I understand that applications will only be accepted for devices in Calaveras County.

e. I understand that if I qualify, I will receive a voucher and a current list of participating retailers who will honor the voucher if it is submitted by the voucher’s expiration date.

f. The participating retailer that installs the new device is responsible for removing, dismantling, and disposing of the old device.

g. If I use program funds, I commit to purchase a new device from a participating retailer within four (4) weeks and authorize the retailer to 1) notify the District of the purchase agreement, and 2) verify that my existing wood burning device is not EPA-certified.

h. I understand that devices purchased with funds from this program will be professionally installed by a licensed installer and that there may be additional costs for installation including permitting. Installations must comply with all local fire and building codes. The installation must be coordinated and certified by the participating retailer and must be completed within ninety (90) days of redeeming the voucher. Installation expiration date may be extended at the discretion of the District.

i. I understand that I am responsible to pay the retailer for the purchase of the new device, less the voucher amount.

j. I understand that I will forfeit my voucher if I provide the District with false information or fail to obtain any required permit or if the required information is not submitted to the District prior to the expiration date listed on the voucher.

k. The District does not warranty any devices purchased under this voucher program, including, but not limited to, the quality or functionality of the device.

l. I understand that proper wood burning practices (e.g., burning only dry, seasoned wood) and proper stove installation and operation (e.g., maintaining a hot fire) are critical to the effectiveness of my new device. I further agree to receive training on proper wood storage and wood burning practices (if applicable) and device operation and maintenance from the participating retailer or installer.

m. I understand that the District, CAPCOA, and the State of California may inspect all work and associated records with 30 days advanced notice.

n. Applications will be treated in accordance with Public Records Act requirements. Certain information, subject to those requirements, may be publicly disclosed.
