I believe what CARB is doing to our industry is the wrong
approach.
We all want clean air but our air has never been this clean in 20
years. I have herd CARB say our air is getting cleaner every
year
but just not fast enough. Older equipment eventually becomes
obsolete. Please let the equipment we have run their full
usefulness. We paid a high price for our equipment and CARB has
changed its useful life and made some of our equipment almost
worthless. Our construction company is down 94.5% compared to
2007. We can not afford to implement any changes to the
equipment
at this time. You havent told people to go and sell there old
cars
(and not to any one in this state) and buy a new car yet. But
that is what you are doing to us with our equipment.
Please stop CARB from putting us out of business and devaluing
our
equipment. Regulate new equipment manufactured and in time all
equipment will be tier 4 due to natural obsolescence.
