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.
