Re: [greenyes] Clean Fuel Garbage Trucks

Resa,

In the City of Hawthorne, CA, in the 2002 RFP we required the use of 
alternative fuels for garbage and recycling vehicles.  See 
http://www.cityofhawthorne.com/psrv_hawrcy-projindex.htm for the RFP.  Our 
environmental review consultants were excellent in assisting the City in 
developing our requirements and reviewing the submittals from proposers for 
compliance.  See their Environmental Review documents at 
http://www.cityofhawthorne.com/psrv_hawrcy-epindex.htm.  Contacts:

The South Coast Air Quality Management District in Los Angeles requires 
alternative fuels for vehicle fleets over 15 trucks.  Contact Barbara Beck, 
SCAQMD, for more details at <bbeck@no.address>.

The California Air Resources Board is developing New
Diesel Particulate Matter Control Measure for On-Road Heavy-Duty
Diesel-Fueled Publicly Owned and Operated Fleets. See
