Dear CARB;
Please back off the diesel emmissions regulations for at least
FIVE YEARS. The proposed two year delay will not be enough.

Mark R. Turvey Equipment Rental is a owner operator, father and
son small fleet. Our business has been decimated by the currant
downturn in the construction industry. We have no work. Our income
has dropped 85% the last two years and this year looks even worse.


In our efforts to reduce emmissions and upgrade our fleet we sold
one 450 hitachi excavator and replaced it with a new tier 3 machine
15 months ago. We are now making a $6000 a month payment on a
machine that there is no work for. There are no funds for any more
upgrades of equipment.The only option for our company and many
others is to run the equipment that we own until the regulation
take effect, then go out of bussiness.

         Thank You
                    Mark R Turvey
