arbcombo -- PUBLIC WORKSHOP TO DISCUSS PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE SMALL OFF-ROAD ENGINE REGULATIONS
Posted: 14 Oct 2015 08:31:51
The Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) invites you to participate in a public workshop to learn about updates to the ARB small off-road engine (SORE) regulations, including the use of 10 percent ethanol fuel to conduct certification testing for evaporative emissions and improvements to the certification and test procedures. Future regulatory proposals, including the need for more stringent exhaust and evaporative emission standards and increasing availability of zero-emission equipment will also be discussed. The workshop will consist of a presentation by staff lasting approximately 30 minutes, followed by a question and answer session. The workshop will be held at the following locations and times. The information presented at each workshop location will be identical. Date: November 2, 2015 Time: 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. PST Location: Cal EPA Building Byron Sher Auditorium 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 Date: November 4, 2015 Time: 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. PST Location: South Coast Air Quality Management District Auditorium 21865 Copley Drive Diamond Bar, California 91765 Background: Small off-road engines are spark-ignited engines rated at 19 kilowatts or less. They are used in applications such as lawn and garden, industrial, construction and mining, logging, airport ground support, commercial utility, and farm equipment, golf carts, and specialty vehicles. Without additional controls, reactive organic gas emissions from SORE are expected to be higher than those for any other mobile source category in California by the mid-2020s. To help meet ozone ambient air quality standard attainment deadlines and climate goals, additional emissions reductions and an increase in the adoption of zero-emission equipment are needed. Participants are encouraged to attend in person. An audio conference line will be set up to accommodate those who are unable to attend in person. The workshop agenda, call-in details, and an electronic copy of the staff presentation will be posted by October 30 on ARB’s website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/offroad/sore/sore.htm. The workshop locations are accessible to persons with disabilities. If you need special accommodation or have language needs, please contact Andrea McStocker at (916) 322-3966 as soon as possible.
