DINNER MEETING

“California’s Diesel
Risk Reduction Program”
Speaker: Jerry Mason, Ventura County APCD
The California Air Resources
Board is rapidly adopting regulations to implement a “Diesel Risk Reduction Program.”
In 2004, the Governor and the Legislature implemented a smog check exemption fee and that provides over $80 million
dollars per year for the Carl Moyer Program. One would think that hand-in-hand
these programs would be the solution to California’s air quality problems. Au
contraire!! The on-road regulations require the installation of an after-treatment
device on the vehicles. However, recognizing that the emission control manufacturers
will not develop devices providing the required reductions, the regulations contain a “poison pill” that mandates the replacement
of old engines. These engines, which are the same ones targeted by the Carl Moyer
Program, will no longer be eligible for incentive funding. Jerry will discuss
the Carl Moyer Program in general; the Ventura County Program in specific; and, the impact of the “Diesel Risk Reduction Program”
on both.
Jerry Mason has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois and a master’s degree from UC Santa Barbara. Following his retirement from the Navy in 1988, Jerry worked as a project manager
for International Technology in charge of field services and emergency response. Joining
the District in 1991, Jerry was a Rules Engineer for four years before developing the Motor Vehicle Emission Reduction Program
and then the Carl Moyer Program. Jerry will retire from the District on October
21, 2006.
