Dear Chair Randolph and Members of the Board, 
 
I am a California resident and I support the adoption of new
regulations that will phase out the sale of highly-polluting
gas-powered leaf blowers and lawn equipment in California beginning
in 2024.
 
The use of gas-powered leaf blowers and lawn mowers in particular
causes numerous health problems, and greatly contributes to
California's notoriously poor air quality. California continues to
fail to meet national air quality standards, which means that
millions of Californians like myself breathe unhealthy air
everyday.

In addition, the new battery powered equipment will be QUIETER!!! 
I despise when the grounds maintenance crew works around the large
apartment complex I live at in Ventura CA (Sofi Ventura), due to
the significant air and noise pollution they produce.  

Please approve and amend the SORE regulations per the staff
recommendation.

Thanks,
David Wappler
