With a 5-0 vote, the
Redding City Council agreed Tuesday to confront the California
Air Resources Board over looming diesel engine emission
standards that opponents say will deal a crippling blow to the
north state’s already fragile economy.
The vote authorized Mayor Rick Bosetti to write CARB and invoke
Redding’s “coordination” authority. Coordination is a process
that requires federal agencies (and state agencies that receive
federal funding) to work with local governments before
implementing policies or plans that impact the local community.
The coordination process was proposed at the council’s Oct. 15
meeting but a motion to proceed stalled on a 2-2 vote. Bosetti,
who joined Councilwoman Francie Sullivan in voting no, said he
wanted to wait and see what transpired at an Oct. 24 CARB
meeting before taking a more confrontational tack.
The emission standards, which the state says will remove
thousands of tons of diesel soot from California’s air and
prevent some 3,900 premature deaths, will force hundreds of
truck and bus operators to make costly retrofits to their
vehicles or, in many cases, retire them.
Pat Cramer, an Anderson-based insurance agent who deals almost
exclusively with trucks, said she has been dealing with CARB for
six years and has come to the conclusion that “they want to get
us out of business.”
As the emission requirements now stand, trucks made in 2006 and
older—or 73 percent of the trucks she insures—will be off the
road by Jan. 1, Cramer said.
Of particular concern to Councilman Gary Cadd are the $20,000
particulate matter filters required for all heavy trucks with
engines manufactured in 2009 or older. The filters are too
temperature sensitive to be of use in slow-moving construction
vehicles and prone to overheating in trucks on the highway, Cadd
said. |

NOVEMBER 2013 |
In a packed Redding city
hall meeting on Nov. 5th the City Council after hearing numerous
testimonies from local business and even city workers dealing
with unreliable diesel engine emissions technology and high cost
equipment, voted 5-0 in favor of a resolution. The resolution
will invoke a notification informing CARB that by NEPA or
Federal Statute, a City Coordination Subcommittee will request a
“negotiation” process whereby the city’s government would be
given an equal and central station at the negotiating table
concerning diesel engine regulations in its jurisdiction. The
City believes that CARB should not be allowed to move forward
with any regulation or policy without the city’s approval as
part of its coordination responsibilities.
The “coordination process” as directed by Congress is simply
that: a process by which local government and federal agencies
are to meet in a government to government dialogue in order to
attempt to reach consistency between federal plans and actions
and local plans and policies. Congress has directed every
federal agency to engage in that government-to-government
process with local governments.
The CARB emission standards, which their scientists claim will
remove thousands of tons of diesel particulate matter (PM) that
the media refers to as soot from California’s air and prevent
some 3,900 premature deaths, will force tens of thousands of
truck and bus operators to make costly retrofits to their
vehicles or, in many cases, retire them and must buy new without
any compensation. The problem with these regulations is that
they do not distinguish between attainment areas like most of
the state, including Redding, and non-attainment areas. Why
should businesses in attainment “green zones” areas be required
to do anything?
Betty Plowman and other local business people said at the
hearing that CARBs regulations unfairly burden small businesses,
and drove home the point that all Californian’s will pay the
price for these onerous regulations targeting the transportation
industry. |
