AGC Urges EPA to Save Contractors from Billions in New Costs

AGC urged the Environmental Protection Agency to decline California's request for a waiver to the Clean Air Act, a move that would hurt the already-devastated industry by forcing them to retrofit or replace billions of dollars in equipment. A study conducted by AGC shows that 32 states are poised to follow California's lead on the issue.  Meanwhile, AGC pointed out that states would be hard pressed to find a better way to undermine the stimulus than forcing contractors to throw away billions in perfectly good equipment.
