This proposed regulation, while well intentioned, could be a death
knell for many small operators.
Requiring exhaust retrofits on many older pieces of equipment will
DEFINITELY be too expensive for most small operations, and probably
cause many to go out of business. UNLESS there is some caveat that
the "retrofits" will NOT excedd certain amounts.
The proposal states that this will accelerate turnover to newer,
cleaner engines - this is in an ideal world! Many big fleets may
be able to accomplish this. But they wil definitely have to pass
on this increased cost in higher operating charges. This will in
turn, affect costs to consumers all down the line.
I definitely am writing to express my opposition to this
proposal.
