i <br /> MAY 19 2004 <br /> San Joaquin Valley �ommu�t� +� I, „tuep <br /> Air Pollution Control District <br /> May 12, 2004 Reference#: 20040175 <br /> Jose Rubianes <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Community Development Department <br /> Development Services Division <br /> 1810 East Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> SUBJECT: PA-0400173 (SA) A USE PERMIT APPLICATION FOR A 300 SEAT <br /> CHURCH FACILITY. <br /> Dear Mr. Rubianes: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the <br /> proposed annexation. Based on the information provided, it appears that this project <br /> will have.a less-than-significant impact on the ambient air quality. However, facilities of <br /> this nature can generate emissions during the construction and operational phases of <br /> this project. Therefore, the applicant should be aware that this project is subject to <br /> District Regulation Vlll (Fugitive Dust Prohibitions). The purpose of Regulation VIII <br /> is to reduce the amount of fine particulate matter (PM-10) entrained into the ambient air <br /> from man-made sources. The attached Synopsis highlights many of the requirements <br /> contained within Regulation Vlll. The Synopsis is not meant to be all-inclusive, but it <br /> can be a useful compliance aid in the field and office alike. <br /> In addition, given the Valley's nonattainment status for ozone, every effort should be <br /> made to reduce ozone precursor emissions (ROG, reactive organic gases, and NOx, <br /> oxides of nitrogen). Certain design features incorporated into this project would <br /> encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation to and from this site and <br /> thereby result in a reduction of ozone precursor emissions. If feasible, the District <br /> recommends that the following measures be incorporated into the project design: <br /> Sidewalks and pedestrian walkways should be installed throughout as much of the <br /> project area as possible and should be connected to neighboring residential areas. <br /> Design ingress and egress to allow for the most effective traffic flow to minimize <br /> vehicle idling. <br /> Provide safe bike paths and secure bicycle parking to encourage nonmotorized <br /> forms of transportation to and from the facility. <br /> David.E.Crow <br /> Executive Director/Air Pollution Control Officer <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 95356-9322 Fresno,CA 93726-0244 Bakersfield,CA 93301-2373 <br /> (209)557-6400• FAX(209)557-6475 (559)230-6000 0 FAX(559)230-6061 (661)326-6900•FAX(661)326-6985 <br /> www.valleyair.org <br />
