Air Pollution Control District <br /> May 26, 1998 <br /> Tom Gau MAY 2 8 1998 { <br /> ' San Joaquin County CommUq, BIODev <br /> 4 Community Development Department p�E <br /> Q�pY <br /> Development Services Division <br /> 1810 East Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> SUBJECT: MAJOR SUBDIVISION APPLICATION'(SU-97-1) <br /> Dear Mr. Gau: <br /> t€ <br /> i The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District has reviewed the proposed <br /> project and offers the following comments: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley's air quality has been designated nonattainment by the EPA <br /> and by the Air Resources Board (ARB) for 03 (ozone) and PM-10 (fine particulate <br /> matter, dust). The Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) and the California Clean Air Act require <br /> areas that are designated nonattainment to reduce emissions until standards are met. <br /> Based on the information provided, this project will have a fess-than-significant impact <br /> on the ambient air quality. Therefore, a negative declaration is appropriate from an air <br /> quality perspective. However, as a result of the Valley's nonattainment status for both <br /> ozone and PM-10, the District strongly recommends that the project applicant <br /> implement all feasible design measures into this residential area to reduce the <br /> cumulative generation of ozone precursors which will result from this project_ The <br /> following list is not all-inclusive; the District encourages innovation. <br /> i <br /> ♦ Energy efficient design including automated control system for heating/air <br /> conditioning and energy efficiency beyond Title 24 requirements, lighting controls <br /> and energy-efficient lighting in buildings, increased insulation beyond Title 24 <br /> requirements, and light colored roof materials to reflect heat. <br /> ♦ Planting of deciduous trees on the south and westerly facing sides of buildings. <br /> Provide low nitrogen oxide (NOx) emitting and/or high efficiency water heaters. <br /> David L.
