EPA Invites Â鶹ÊÓƵ of America to Speak on Diesel Retrofit at Southeast Regional Program

Recognizing that Â鶹ÊÓƵ is a strong supporter of voluntary diesel retrofit efforts and initiatives at both the national and local levels, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has invited Â鶹ÊÓƵ to participate in the Southeast Diesel Collaborative's partners meeting, scheduled for June 15-17 in Atlanta.  The goal of the meeting is to identify new opportunities to reduce emissions from existing diesel engines (like those used in construction equipment) with a specific focus on innovative technologies, clean diesel, and renewable energy sources.  Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Senior Environmental Advisor Leah Pilconis will present Â鶹ÊÓƵ's perspective on how to balance contractor business and economic concerns with air quality goals.  Register online at no charge at and be part of a large gathering of federal, state and local officials; environmental advocacy groups; fleet owners; and other diesel stakeholders.  For more information, or contact Leah Pilconis at pilconisl@agc.org
