As I have mentioned before,there are a couple of little dickheads that like to run their quads up and down the irrigation road behind my property.:BLEEP: :BLEEP:
The county has implemented a new "clean air" program asking for input about causes and problems. so i sent them some info explaining the problem with the quad racers... here is their reply.|oo
Thank you for contacting the Maricopa County Air Quality Department. We appreciate your feedback and understand your concerns. Our dust inspectors can legally issue notices of violation to those that violate our dust rules, however, when it comes to ATV riders, there are additional issues we are faced with. Many of them are illegally trespassing onto state land when they ride which then becomes a law enforcement issue. Our inspectors have contacted law enforcement on numerous occasions about this, however, in many instances there is too much going on at the time for them to respond in a timely manner. With our Bring Back Blue campaign, we are trying to stress the "Dirty Dozen" which are 12 things people can do to help fight particulate pollution. Amongst those tips are: don't drive in the dirt, drive slowly on unpaved roads, etc. to help keep the dirt down. The campaign just launched approximately two weeks ago but will continue to be advertised for months to come. Part of our campaign stresses those, such as ATV riders, that might kick up too much dust which increases our air pollution. The campaign does not single out off-road vehicles or just one group of people, it simply asks that everyone do their part to help keep down particulate pollution. If you see an offender and would like to report a violation, we ask that you contact our department at 602-372-2703. Thank you.
