Hello to all,
I just heard on the news yesterday that in the Sacramento area none of the
salvage yards that originally signed up for the program is currently
participating and that people trying to comply with the voluntary scrappage
vehicle program have not been able to find yards that would actually take
their cars. Maybe a way can be found to lobby to the salvage industry to
make it so the program will not touch classic vehicles that unfortunalley
fall under the definition of high polluter as defined in the document below.
Thanks,
Antonio
'53 3100 (Gross polluter by the definition of the enviro-nazis)

PROPOSALS
AGENCY: 06-096 - Department of Environmental Protection
RULE TITLE OR SUBJECT: Ch. 147, High Pollution Vehicle
Retirement Program
PROPOSED RULE NUMBER: 2000-P187
CONCISE SUMMARY: In an effort to encourage the purchase of
cleaner cars and the removal of
high-pollution vehicles from the vehicle fleet, the Maine
Legislature established a pilot program for the
retirement of high pollution automobiles and trucks. Beginning
on November 1, 2000, this 3-year
voluntary program will provide the owner of a high pollution
vehicle with a cash incentive to retire (or
"scrap") the vehicle and replace it with a cleaner vehicle. A
"high pollution vehicle" is defined as a 1987 or
older vehicle that has been registered for at least the last
two years and is currently operational. A
"cleaner vehicle" is defined as a 1996 or later model year
vehicle that has a tailpipe emission certification
of Low Emission Vehicle or better. Copies of this rule are
available upon request by contacting the
Agency contact person listed below. Pursuant to Maine law,
interested parties must be publicly notified
of the proposed rulemaking, the public hearing and be provided
an opportunity for comment. Any party
interested in providing public comment can testify at the
public hearing or provide written comments
before the end of the comment period. All comments should be
sent to the Agency Contact person.
THIS RULE WILL NOT HAVE A FISCAL IMPACT ON MUNICIPALITIES
