Comment | I am concerned about the implementation of the off-road and on-road diesel regulation. The current state of the economy of the California cannot absorb this regulation. We are a transportation and farming company. We do not see where the extra capitol will come from to fund all the updated equipment or the updated engines. ARB's cost figures are 1/3 of industries observation, this fact alone should raise a red flag to the board. Much of our equipment is 10 yrs old or older and is in good working order. Our profit margins include the benifit of the equipment being owned free and clear. With the state being in a 14 billion dollar deficit in funding, there is no clear view of the state being able to help in funding replacement vehicles. Where will the funding come from? This regulation should be implimented over a longer period. The ARB needs to be working with the federal goverment to get a variance on the air regulations. |
