Clean Air * USA - Proposed diesel engine rules may cost billions
Sacramento,CA,USA -California Farm Bureau, by Kate Campbell -January 16, 2008: -- Proposed regulations by the state Air Resources Board aimed at reducing emissions from diesel engines, including those used in agriculture, have farmers greatly concerned. The sweeping changes will impact about 400,000 in-state, on-road diesel vehicles and about another 1.2 million from out of state...ARB staff was in Easton in December to begin the process of discussions that will lead to a final air quality regulation in late fall 2008... Farmers and ranchers explained to ARB staff how the equipment is used, the level of investment in customized equipment, average miles and hours per year the equipment is operated and other special uses. They stressed to officials that the complex diversity of farm equipment makes it more difficult and much more expensive to retrofit or modify existing vehicles...
