I urge the board to take a significant step in cleaning
California's air. Diesel engine construction equipment is a
significant source of air pollution, especially particulate
pollution. 
The air in the San Joaquin valley, and the ports of Long Beach and
Oakland would greatly benefit from reduced diesel engine pollution.

It is apparent that the state must take air regulatory matters
into its own hands, now that the federal government has denied
California the power to regulate emissions from gasoline engines.
The rest of the nation emulates California in such matters.
Therefore, it is incumbent upon the Air Resources Board, to take a
big precedent-setting step, and to reduce emissions from diesel
engine construction equipment. Thank you.
