SCCA joins request to delay
off-road diesel reg implementation
March 11, SCCA
joined in support of an AGC National
request to delay implementation of the
California Off-Road Diesel Regulation
until 2015. Along with some
of our members and about 200 other
participants, we helped make the case
for additional amendments to the
off-road rule at an unprecedented
Executive Officer Hearing. Even
CARB Chair Mary Nichols sat in on the
meeting before going to another session
in the Governor's Office on how to deal
with the job impacts of these rules and
AB 32.
The bottom line--expect some
amendments to be approved by this
September. Do not expect CARB to
agree with the proposal supported by
industry, but instead to propose its own
remedy with tiny changes that will
likely complicate this already difficult
regulation.
Meanwhile, the federal
Environmental Protection
Agency has announced its intention to have
another hearing on CARB's request for a waiver from federal
preemption under provisions of the Clean
Air Act so it can enforce the
off-road rule. The announcement
came in the form of a Federal Register
posting.
CARB Large Fleet Reporting Deadline
April 1
New reporting requirements
for low use credits
The
California Air Resources Board (CARB)
has released a new application that all
off-road diesel vehicle fleets reporting
reduced activity must complete
in addition to reporting their reduced
activity online in DOORS. The
application includes instructions
for mailing in records demonstrating the
reduced fleet activity. To print an
application,

On the John and Ken Show

impact on our industry of the
oppressive regulations spewing
forth from the California Air
Resources Board (CARB).
Agencies offer training on new
rules to help with compliance
State agencies
like the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) and the
State Water Resources Control
Board are offering training for
industry to try to get a handle
on all the new rules.
CARB
inventory shows off-road diesel regulations
unnecessary
Associated General Contractors
of America (AGC) presented findings December 9, 2009, in a
hearing in Sacramento
using CARB’s own data to show there
is currently no need to impose the
costly new California “diesel
retrofit” regulations before 2014.
The recently enacted regulations
will force contractors to purchase
new diesel equipment and trucks or
retrofit existing machines to meet
CARB target levels for nitrogen
oxide (NOx) and particulate matter
(PM).
