The Federal Clean Air Act and the California Clean air Act require areas <br /> that are designated nonattainment to reduce emissions until standards are met. <br /> Although there are several components to this project which have the potential to attract <br /> new vehicles trips, many trips to this facility will result from those "passing through" the <br /> area via Interstate 5 and Highway 12. Therefore, based on the information provided, it <br /> appears that this project will not have a significant impact on the ambient air quality and <br /> a negative declaration is appropriate from an air quality perspective. <br /> The construction phase of the project could generate emissions from the movement of <br /> soil, use of heavy equipment, bulk materials handling, asphalt paving and other related <br /> activities. As a result, this project is subject to District Regulation Vill (Fugitive Dust <br /> Prohibitions). The purpose of Regulation VIII is to reduce the amount of fine particulate <br /> matter (PM-10) entrained into the ambient air from man-made sources. Regulation VII <br /> has recently been revised, with the revisions becoming effective May 15, 2002. The <br /> applicant may review these changes on the District web site at www.vallevair.org. <br /> David L.
