LEA Equipment Loan Program

LEA Equipment Loan Program

The CIWMB developed the local enforcement agency (LEA) equipment loan program to support LEA equipment needs. The program is intended to support LEAs whose financial or technical resources limit their ability to obtain and operate instrumentation and other technical and scientific equipment. The equipment loan program is available to all LEAs certified or partially certified by the CIWMB.

The program provides support through:

• Loaning air monitoring instruments and equipment.
• Providing technical support and training assistance for all loaned items.
• Repairing and calibrating of LEA-owned equipment.

Availability is limited to items on hand. Items available for loan may change at any time and are available on a limited basis. Instrument repair on LEA-owned instruments may be limited to $400 per instrument with an $800 per LEA maximum. These amounts may change based on availability of funds or as determined by the program coordinator. The LEA is responsible for the cost of insured shipping to the field shop. 

The Board is not responsible for cost or incidents involving the use or misuse of State- or LEA-owned instruments repaired under the program. Equipment lost or damaged while under loan to the LEA shall either be paid for or replaced by the borrower, as determined by the loan program coordinator.

The equipment loan program office is located at the CIWMB Health and Safety Field Shop. For more information, contact the staff listed at the bottom of this page.
