Comment | Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: Please be advised that I believe your actions regarding implementation of the new program aimed at reducing PM and NOx is too aggressive for the construction industry. The introduction of low and ultra-low sulphur diesel fuel apparently has not accomplished goals set by your organization, is that correct? There are a few "elite" companies that can attain the compliance level for their fleet and have little effect of their bottomline. However, those companies are typically ones that contract with your parallel organizations at the State and Federal government level for lucrative jobs, paid for with tax dollars. This is like the fox guarding the henhouse in my estimation. For the bulk of the industry it can only lead to a decline in competition for construction jobs and will undoubtedly kill off many businesses that can not afford to upgrade their fleet. I know these business people and they, just like my business, work hard to pay their share of property taxes, fuel taxes, CHP programs, SWRB quality programs, and local APCD programs. I am asking you today to please look at the alternatives to the program you are considering because many good people's lives will be affected by your decision. |
