Owners and operators of portable diesel engines have recordkeeping and reporting requirements under two regulations: the Regulation to Establish a Statewide Portable Equipment Registration Program (17 CCR §2450 et seq.), also referred to as the PERP, and the Airborne Toxic Control Measure for Diesel Particulate Matter from Portable engines Rated at 50 Horsepower and Greater (17 CCR §93115 et seq.), which is part of the diesel ATCM. In evaluating the overlap of these two regulations as they apply to diesel portable engines, ALG relied on the regulatory language effective September 12, 2007 (for both rules) and confirmed our conclusions with California Air Resources Board (ARB) staff (Jon Pederson and Joseph Gromley).
