On June 20, 2008, CARB posted the final approved language of the off-road diesel construction equipment rule it passed July 26, 2007. This rule - which significantly impacts all construction businesses and any off road equipment owners and users - is now in effect and although some provisions of the regulation need a federal waiver before they can be implemented, the Board is enforcing the idling and sales notification requirements immediately.
READ THIS AGAIN: CARB is enforcing the idling and sales notification requirements immediately. Local APCD inspectors can enforce the idling rule if they observe it.
Failure to comply with this regulation can result in LARGE FINES.
