Comment:
Dear Ms Nichols, As the CARB Chair would you please make sure all decision makers have a copy of the above document -Fuel to Burn: the climate and public health implications of off-road vehicle pollution in California. I am a resident of Riverside County and am very concerned about the use of all types of motorized off highway (or roadway) vehicles(OHV) in my area and the health problems they add to our non attainment area. This report mentions how in California they emit 500 million pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year. "This is the equivalent to burning 500,000 barrels of oil". The report also mentions that the 26 million gallons of gasoline consumed by OHVs each year in California is equivalent to the amount of gasoline used by 1.5 million car trips between Los Angeles and San Francisco. In addition to OHVs you need to also factor jet skis, motor boats, snow mobiles and private airplanes into the final plan. Without a strong plan to immediately deal with all of the above sources of pollution-not dragged out over years- you will need to remove the word "Solution" from the Act. Please notify me of all future documents and meetings in Southern California related to this topic.
