The California Air Resources Board is currently considering the
adoption of an on-road diesel truck regulation that, if implemented
as presently drafted would have a profound, negative impact on
California's economy.

The Northern California Engineering Contractors Association is
very supportive of reducing particulate matter (PM) and NOx
emissions from diesel engines. There is no disagreement that we
need to work collectively to improve the state's air quality and
all of us want to provide as healthy an environment as possible for
our families, our employees and all Californians. However, in its
current form, the Board's proposed regulation places a significant
economic risk on our business(es) today, jeopardizes our future
viability in the Engineering Construction industry, which is
already reeling from unprecedented financial turmoil.
