Comment | Using the latest recommendations, I will be forced to shut down my entire operation. I currently have 30 employees and 10 trucks. We are the solution to Waste Water Run off and these regulations, while helping air quality will impact water quality. The EPA has mandated requirements for Storm water quality. It is obvious that the Air Quality Board has not taken in consideration Storm Water Quality in regards to Street Sweepers. Many of our trucks are considered highly modified and cannot be adapted to meet these new standards. Most of the small sweeper business which have older machines that are not manufactured anymore, will be forced to shut down. Rates will sky rocket and municipalities who all have major budget issues will be forced to lower service or eliminate service. This will be a pollution disaster. WE ARE A SOLUTION, NOT A POLLUTER. WE COLLECT MUCH MORE THAN WE PRODUCE. I have read the staff report and its just wrong. 2010 is going to be a distaster for California water quality. |
