Interim Tier 4 Regulations Speed Need for Information

19 Aug, 2010 LDB Solutions

EPA regulations covering heavy equipment could impact design-build professionals.

What will happen when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Interim Tier 4 (IT4) regulations go into effect on Jan. 1, 2011? According to John Deere, they’ll end up affecting everyone who purchases heavy equipment.

Planning for IT4 is a must if you face any emissions regulations, worksite requirements or bid specifications that affect the types of engines and equipment you can use.

John Deere has created a website and materials that help explain what the regulations mean for new equipment, and detail the emissions issues affecting existing equipment. On the site, you can learn about the various technologies planned to meet the new standards and the testing and development work behind those approaches.
