Hello Environmental and Energy Committee Members:
Please see the following request from Dr. Kenneth Lim of the BAAQMD. The information he seeks is in support of a petition for additional State funding for BAAQMD programs. I understand how short the notice is, but if you can provide Dr. Lim some information, I think he and the BAAQMD would be very appreciative. If you would like to send me your data, I will forward it to Ken Lim without your company information. Sincerely, Margaret Bruce Director, Environmental Programs Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group -----Original Message----- From: klim@baaqmd.gov [mailto:klim@baaqmd.gov] Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2001 1:30 PM To: mbruce@svmg.org Subject: Diesel generator info. Ms. Margaret Bruce: SVMG Hi Margaret: I had sent this message to Justin Bradley last week, but have not heard back from him. I should have sent it to you also. I hope that things are going well with you. I'm trying to assess the emissions impact of increased Back-Up Generator (BUG) diesel fuel use from 2000 to 2001. I need real data to support an effort to get state funds to help mitigate the additional emissions in the Bay Area. This is NOT for compliance, enforcement, or rulemaking, etc. purposes. I could use your help. I would need 2000 and 2001 data for diesel fuel use or hours of BUG operation: BUG engine, hp, fuel use 2000 and 2001 to date. One comparison might be 10/1/99-9/30/00 fuel use versus 10/1/00-9/30/01 use. We want to verify, if it is true, that business and industry felt compelled by the energy situation to operate their diesel BUGs more hours and burn more fuel (fuel readiness testing and emergency backup power) than in past comparable periods. I was hoping that you could provide some actual use data for the back-up diesel engines at your SVMG member companies. I would need specific engine information as indicated above. The data information can be as simple as total diesel fuel use for the first 9 months of 2000 versus the first 9 mos. of 2001. Ideally, we would prefer 10/1/99-9/30/00 fuel use versus 10/1/00-9/30/01 use. I'm seeking this information at your earliest convenience (by the end of the day Wednesday). Please telephone or e-mail me if you have any questions. My apologies for this short notice (I did send in an inquiry to Justin on 10/22/01). Thanks very much for your consideration.
