What If An Engine Does Not Meet the Certification Requirements, Or It Cannot Be Retrofitted With The Required Control Devices In Order To Obtain A Registration?
Diesel engine operation without a District permit or Statewide PERP registration may be a violation of both District rules and the State’s ATCM for diesel-fueled engines. As long as the engines are not permitted or registered, then each additional day during which the operation of the engine occurs may be counted as a new and additional violation. Engines that do not meet an emission certification standard are called “Tier 0” engines. The District is not permitting any Tier 0 engines. In lieu of permitting, owners and operators of Tier 0 engines may enter into a Regional Compliance Agreement (more information below) that allows operation of such engines in Placer County until January 1, 2010. The State’s ATCM for portable diesel-fueled engines does not require Tier 0 diesel-fueled engines to meet new standards until January 1, 2010. For this reason the District may consider using its enforcement discretion to allow operation of a diesel-fueled engine that cannot currently be permitted
