Comment | We were among the first to jump in and start repowering our engines to meet the clean air standards in 2001, and ongoing since. After spending hundreds of thousands of dollars of our own and going through the long process of applying for grants, we repowered most of our equipment to the best available engines (Tier 1). Caterpillar could not provide us with Tier 3 engines, and still cannot fully meet the specifications. So after spending millions of dollars of grant money as well as our own expenditures, we are in the position of still not meeting the stringent requirements as proposed. We have been in business in California since 1971, growing from a small one-man operation to currently employing about 75 people. The regulations now being proposed will force us out of business or out of California. I hope the government of California is prepared for the economic disaster they will be creating. |
