To assist fleet owners with their compliance efforts, ARB staff is conducting a series of statewide training seminars on the off-road regulation.  These training seminars will provide an in depth presentation of the regulation and how to comply, a discussion of record keeping and vehicle labeling requirements, a review of exhaust retrofit products available, and information about grant opportunities.  In addition, participants will have an opportunity to speak one-on-one with providers of exhaust retrofit devices. (Note: The training seminar in Sacramento on August 29, 2008, will be webcast. You may find more information on the webcast at the EPA webcast hompage.)

Workgroup meeting to discuss developing a diesel particulate matter control measure for in-use off-road diesel-fueled engines. The meeting will be held simultaneously in Conference Room 2110 of the California Environmental Protection Agency Building at 1001 I Street in Sacramento, and Room 111 of Annex 2 to ARB's offices at 9500 Telstar Avenue in El Monte, California. Participants are also welcome to call in to the meeting via telephone.

Call Leader: Ms Kim Heroy-Rogalski
Phone: (888) 677-1822
Passcode: 39495

We would like to divide the meeting into two sessions - one for construction, mining, and industrial equipment, and one for airport ground support equipment:

  • 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Construction / Mining and Industrial Equipment

  • 1:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. Construction / Mining and Industrial Equipment (cont'd if necessary)

  • 2:45 p.m. - 4:45 p.m. Airport Ground Support Equipment.

Participants are invited to attend the session most relevant to them.

The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss the following:

  • Revisions to the January regulatory concepts and ARB staff's justification for the changes made.

  • Stakeholder response to the proposed changes to the regulatory concepts.

  • Remaining regulatory concept issues about which ARB staff would like to solicit input from the workgroup.   

  • Updates to emissions inventory inputs and revised emissions inventory.

  • Stakeholder response to emission inventory updates and

  • Preliminary cost and economic impact analyses.

ARB staff will send out the following documents for review by workgroup participants prior to the meeting:

  • Description of changes to the January 2006 regulatory concepts.

  • Revised draft of regulatory concepts and

  • Description of emission inventory changes (equipment population, annual use, useful life, and emission rate deterioration) made since the March 2006 workgroup meeting.
