Subject | Please adopt proposed In-use Contruction Rule to reduce pollution |
Comment | On May 24, the CARB Board is scheduled to vote on a landmark rule to reduce air pollution from California's construction equipment. This rule will require that all construction equipment currently in use be retrofitted to reduce pollution. Construction equipment is the second largest source of diesel pollution in the state and is estimated to cause 1,100 premature deaths per year, 30,000 asthma attacks and cost the state's economy $9 billion. The proposed in-use construction rule will provide significant pollution reductions, protect public health, and bring the most polluted areas of the state -- the Los Angeles/Long Beach air basin and the San Joaquin Valley -- into attainment with federal air quality standards. I ask that your vote to adopt the new rule as soon as possible, and adopt strong enforcement mechanisms to ensure that it is not violated. |
