Emissions Inspection Program Now BARRY KAWA Review Staff FARMINGTON With 26 available stations inspection the vehicle emiscounty-widsions inspectionmaintenance program has begun for those who must register their cars beginning in April. According to Jim Duckworth, automotive specialist for the Dae, vis County Environmental Health Division, stations are charging about $9 for the inspection and most are doing up to 20 to 25 vehicles a day. Duckworth said official numbers will not be available until the end of April. He said the Environmental Di vision hopes to have at least 80 inspection stations in operation as more mechanics are trained at Weber State College and equipment purchased by garages and automotive shops. Duckworth estimates the average time for an inspection is about 10 to 15 minutes. The vehicle IM program was mandated in Davis and Salt Lake counties by the Utah State Legislature to reduce the levels of hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions from motor vehicles. At stake was a possible loss of federal highway construction funds from Environmental Protection Agency sanctions.
