Can a non-CARB Generator from the late 80's be Relocated/reused

[W6SJK]

While I wait for some vendor replies to my emails: Can a stationary non-CARB diesel standby (i.e. not prime) generator from the late 80's be relocated/reused by the same owner at the same facility in California? Or is that considered a new installation that must meet CARB tier requirements? Thanks

The answer from the vendor, as I suspected, was NO. It is considered a new installation and must meet CARB requirements.

This is not surprising. I wonder if there is a similar result for RICE NESHAP..

The US EPA says " ... that relocating an existing engine to a new location (same facility or elsewhere) does not change the engine’s status as
an “existing” engine."

I acknowledge that this does not answer the question about a re-installation in California.
