Dear Governor and CARB Board Members,

As a resident of California who is concerned about air quality, I
strongly encourage you to support a strong regulation to reduce
pollution from construction equipment and vote in favor of the
regulation at the May 25th CARB hearing.

Pollution from construction equipment burdens all of us, not only
through diminished quality of life but also through health costs
and lost school and work days.  Implementing the proposed measure
to reduce pollution from construction and other off-road equipment
will prevent an estimated 4,000 premature deaths by 2030 and save
billions of dollars in health costs and lost productivity.

We cannot afford to wait any longer to tackle the public health
threat from construction and other off-road equipment.  I urge you
to adopt strong clean construction standards without further
delay.

Thank you for your consideration of my comments.

Sincerely,
Christopher Lish
