In-Use Mobile Agricultural Equipment Regulation
This page last reviewed November 24, 2009
In the 2007 State Implementation Plan,
ARB committed to
developing
a
control measure to reduce emissions from In-Use Agricultural
Equipment and currently plan to develop and bring this measure to the Board near the end of 2010.
The
goal of a proposed measure would be to accelerate fleet turnover to
equipment with engines meeting cleaner NOx and PM standards.
ARB staff
plan to consider measures to reduce emissions
from Ag off-road tractors and other mobile equipment in the future.
ARB has
no proposal available at this time for these planned regulations to
reduce diesel
particulate matter (PM) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
emissions from agricultural in-use (existing) off-road mobile equipment
in California. These future regulations would address
strategies for exhaust control technology and the accelerated
replacement
of 25 or greater HP used in agricultural operations. If you
