Section 41750 Of Article 1.5. Portable Equipment From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 26. >> Part 4. >> Chapter 3. >> Article 1.5.
41750
. The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the
following:
(a) Existing law authorizes each district to impose separate and
sometimes inconsistent emission control requirements for, and to
require separate permits to operate, portable equipment that are used
at various sites throughout the state.
(b) That multiplicity of permits and regulatory requirements
imposes a complex and costly burden on California businesses that
use, hire, provide, and manufacture that equipment.
(c) A uniform, voluntary system of statewide registration and
regulation of portable equipment, consistent with current state and
federal air quality law, is necessary to ensure consistent and
reasonable regulation of that equipment without undue burden on their
owners, operators, and manufacturers.
(d) Portable equipment has attributes of both mobile sources and
stationary sources of air pollution. A separate registration and
emission control program is needed to reflect the unique operating
characteristics of that equipment while providing authority for a
statewide program of emission reduction measures to be applied to
existing in-state, out-of-state, and newly manufactured portable
equipment.
