According to Todd Y. Thames, Superintendent of Support Services for
The Dept. of Parks and Recreation in a letter mailed to me dated
12/5/07 he states, According to the California Air Resources Board
(CARB),portable generators meet California emissions and noise
standards. Did CARB test all motor homes (RV's) and all
manufactures of portable generators for noise and air pollution?
In Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section
4320(c), it states generators can be used for 10 hours straight
per day,from 8pm to 10am. These are gas powered and they produce
noise. The State Parks are saying CARB does not see this as a
problem. 400 camp sites 200 generators running for 10 hours a day,
we might as well camp on the side of a major freeway. I think CARB
should re-think what CARB has reported to The Dept. of Parks and
Recreation.CARB needs to test these RV's and portable generators
for noise and air pollutions.
