Comment | Comments: Section (d) Definitions Item 6 Agriculture Vehicle Sub-item (D) Page Appendix 5 THIRD SENTENCE should read: It also includes water trucks "OR" (not and) trucks designed or modified to be used exclusively for the dusting, spraying, fertilizing, or seeding of crops. Supporting clauses include: (1) Section (d) definitions Item (26) Farm Sub-Item (A) Page Appendix A8 Specifically states forestry is Farm (2) Section (d) Definitions Item (40) "Low-use Vehicle" Sub-Section (B) Page Appendix A-11 Very few water trucks in farming or (forestry) operate over 5,000 miles. (3) Section (d) Definitions Item (55) "specialty agriculture vehicle" Sub-Section C page Appendix A-13 This should read: A truck equipped with a water tank owned by a farmer or his contractor, not operated for uses with compensation coming from non agriculture operations that provides dust suppression on dirt roads providing access to agriculture operations OR (not and) for the transportation of water for croop or tree irrigation or for livestock. As a side note, Calif. rural dirt roads contain various amounts of serpentine road base rock that when not watered to abate dust can cause airborne cancer causing asbestos air pollution. That in itself to me is an incentive to encourage their use even if some diesel particulate is released. Who can say for any specific person which pollution is more deadly. PLEASE INCLUDE WATER TRUCKS IN FORESTRY & FARMING AS LOW USE EXEMPT VEHICLES IF OPERATED LESS THAN 5,000 MILES PER YEAR. |
