CARB Abandons Original Estimates of Off-Road Diesel Emissions
At a workshop in El Monte last week, the California Air Resources Board says it will abandon its original estimates of off-road diesel emissions, conceding that its off-road rule is not needed to meet ambitious goals for the off-road equipment in the construction and certain other industries.
According to new estimates that the agency staff developed over the summer, the CARB says off-road fleets of diesel equipment will exceed the state�s emission goals for many years to come, based on the current and near future state of the construction economy.
