I urge to consider the unique nature of the Port of Stockton
("POS") as it relates to the proposed Drayage Truck regulation.

POS is home to many businesses that have no affiliation with water
born cargo or port activity.  It just happens that it is a
convenient, industrial location within the City of Stockton.  For
instance, POS houses four recycling plants, a CoGen Facility, etc.
 

Our recycling business receives material from customers who may
come in once because a contractor is performing a service locally,
but is an out-of-town contractor.  Under the proposed regulation,
if the truck does not have a DTR label I must them deny entry to
the recycling facility.  

Unlike some ports, POS encompasses essentially two operating
areas: one with controlled access; and a second which functions as
an uncontrolled (access) industrial park.

The proposed regulation should apply to businesses which are
related to water born cargo and those which have controlled
access.  The impending On-Road Diesel trucks rules should apply to
those businesses in this unique situation.  If the IN-USE ON-ROAD
DIESELED-FUELED HEAVY-DUTY DRAYAGE TRUCK regulation were adopted
as proposed, it would have dire consequences for my business.
