CARB Approves Off-Road Diesel Amendments
A win for the industry, these changes provide much needed financial relief
It's official, last Friday the California Air Resources Board (CARB) voted unanmiously to adopt amendements to the on-road and off-road diesel vehcicle regulations and will delay implmentation for all fleets by at least four years.
The off-road regulation will reduce costs by 97 percent over the next 5 years; expand or extend credits for businesses that comply before their deadline or have downsized; and, ease annual requirements to clean up engines. For more details on the Off-Road Regulation, please see: http://www.arb.ca.gov/ordiesel.
As reported on Friday, CARB also approved the low use mileage exemption for on-road diesel vehicles raising the limit from 1,000 miles to 15,000 miles. For more details on the Statewide Truck and Bus Regulation, please see: http://www.arb.ca.gov/dieseltruck.
New to the DOG Website!! Dozer Boss: Stories from the Fireline. DOZER BOSS is the “nuts and bolts” column that addresses nearly all aspects of heavy equipment operations in the Fire Fighting business written by an experienced, retired heavy fire equipment operator. The intent of the column is to represent all agencies (Local, State and Federal) involved in Public Safety operations. Articles, stories and/or examples will be based on actual incidents for the most part. To see what its all about click on the Dozer Boss link to the left.
CA Dozer Group picture books are available. We have some left. They are $75 plus shipping. If you would like to purchase one please send me a email at ddamann4@att.net. I will let you know what the total cost will be. This will help to make the cost more accurate than a flat rate shipping for everyone.
Los Padres Nat. Forest Operator Warren Johnson sends us these pictures from the fire fight in Texas.
Los Padres Forest Dozers staged at last years Canyon Fire.
Here's a series of pictures from Ventura County Fire provided by Scott Price. They show Ventura's Heavy Equipment Unit working a 5 acre compost fire and a fire at a storage yard that burned up containers, packing crates, shipping boxes, one lowbed truck and trailer, three forklifts and a variety of trailers and other equipment.
