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, it appears that this project will have a less-than- <br /> significant impact on the ambient air quality. Therefore, a negative declaration is <br /> appropriate from an air quality perspective. However, driving on unpaved parking areas <br /> can generate fugitive dust emissions. The District recommends that the project <br /> applicant manage the project area in such a way as to avoid excess dust emissions that <br /> could potentially affect downwind sensitive receptors. <br /> In addition, the construction phase of this project can generate emission 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 Vill <br /> (Fugitive Dust Prohibitions). The purpose of Regulation Vlll is to reduce the amount of <br /> fine particulate matter (PM-10) entrained into the ambient air from man-made sources. <br /> The attached Synopsis highlights many of the requirements contained within Regulation <br /> VIII. The Synopsis is not meant to be all-inclusive, but it can be a useful compliance aid <br /> in the field and office alike. <br /> David L.
