| Comment | I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to urge you to
support the landmark rule to strengthen state air
standards and reduce air pollution from construction equipment,
known technically as "In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicles." This new
rule will:
-- Prevent 4,000 premature deaths;
-- Result in health benefits and reduced health care and
hospital visits of $18 to $26 billion;
-- Help 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; and
-- By 2020, prevent 48 tons per day of NOx and 5 tons per day of
particulate air pollution from entering our air.
Please insure the health and beauty of our state by helping us
make a cleaner, safer environment.
Thank you for your time.
