San Joaquin Valley <br /> Air Pollution Control District <br /> May 24, 1999 yam MAY 2 6 1999 <br /> Kai LuomauRrry fever°Pmer,r cue i <br /> San Joaquin County '� <br /> Community Development Department <br /> Development Services Division <br /> 1810 East Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> SUBJECT: SITE APPROVAL FOR STORAGE FOR A LANDSCAPING BUSINESS <br /> (SA-99-34) <br /> Dear Mr. Luoma: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the above <br /> referenced project and offers the following comments: <br /> Based on the information provided, it appears that this project will have a less-than- <br /> significant impact on the ambient air quality. Therefore, a negative declaration is appropriate <br /> from an air quality perspective. However, the handling and storage of mulch and other <br /> landscaping materials can generate fugitive dust emissions. As a result, the District <br /> recommends that the project applicant keep products that can generate dust either covered <br /> or sufficiently moist to avoid this potential. <br /> In addition, the construction phase of this project can generate emissions from the <br /> movement of soil, use of heavy equipment, bulk materials handling, asphalt paving and <br /> other related activities. As a result, this project is subject to District Regulation VIII (Fugitive <br /> Dust Prohibitions). The purpose of Regulation Vlll is to reduce the amount of fine <br /> particulate matter (PM-10) entrained into the ambient air from man-made sources. The <br /> attached Synopsis highlights many of the requirements contained within Regulation Vlll. <br /> The Synopsis is not meant to be all-inclusive, but it can be a useful compliance aid in the <br /> field and office alike. tr <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If you have any questions, please feel free to <br /> contact me at (209) 557-6400. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Tr er Bettencourt <br /> Environmental Planner APco REF#990271 <br /> Northern Region <br /> Northern Region Office Central Region Office Southern Region Office <br /> 4230 Kiernan Avenue, Suite 130 1990 East Gettysburg Avenue 2700 M Street,Suite 275 <br /> Modesto,CA 95356-9321 Fresno,CA 93726-0244 Bakersfield,CA 93301-2370 <br /> (209)557-6400+FAX(209)557-6475 (559)230-6000+FAX(559)230-6061 (661)326-6900+FAX(661)326-6985 <br /> I <br />
