EPA's moving the goal posts...again!
Today, SCCA had the honor of being the sole representative of the construction industry at an air quality public hearing in Sacramento held by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The topic was "Reconsideration of the 2008 National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Ozone."  This means EPA is moving the goal posts on ozone regulation just two years after it tightened the standards last.

This is standard practice for the regulatory agenciesonce they have the ball moving, they keep it moving and when they get close to their announced goal, they announce a new one. The room was crowded20 representatives from the Sierra Club, a dozen from the American Lung Association, and singles and pairs from every other environmental group you can imagine. This is important to our industry because the new standard will cause 96 percent of the counties in the country to fail to meet the new goal, requiring reductions in business activity, transportation and denial of funding for new highway projects.

William Davis, Executive Vice President, SCCA

 
UPDATE on CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD

  • SCCA on the John and Ken Show
    Thanks to all of you who were kind enough to offer encouragement or congratulations regarding our appearance on the John and Ken Show yesterday at 5 p.m. We were only able to only get out about 5 percent of the message about the impact on our industry from the oppressive air quality regulations spewing forth from the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

    Still, it reached more than 1.6 million listeners in Los Angeles and San Franciscowho will be important voters in the June and November elections. We are working on a political component to this issue, identifying candidates who support our industry's position that now is not the time for job-killing regulations with questionable scientific underpinnings. If you didn't hear the broadcast, listen to it at www.kfi640.com or download the podcast at: www.kfi640.com/common/podcast/single_page.html?podcast=JohnandKen

  • CARB inventory shows off-road diesel regs unnecessary
    Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) presented findings December 9, 2009, in a hearing in Sacramento using CARB’s own data to show there is currently no need to impose the costly new California “diesel retrofit” regulations before 2014. The recently enacted regulations will force contractors to purchase new diesel equipment and trucks or retrofit existing machines to meet CARB target levels for nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM).
