San Joaquin Valley <br /> AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT PE0EwED <br /> August 16, 2007 AUC k = 2001 <br /> Community Development Dept, <br /> Kevin Swanson <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Community Development Department <br /> 1810 East Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> Project: PA-0600171 (SA)- <br /> Subject: CEQA comments regarding the construction of a gas station and- mini mart <br /> facility to-be constructed in two phases. <br /> District Reference No: 200701338 <br /> Dear Mr. Swanson: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley Unified. Air Pollution ControFDistrict (District) has reviewed the <br /> project referenced above and offers the following comments: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley Air Basin is currently designated as serious non-attainment for <br /> Ozone and non-attainment (no classification) for PM2.5. On October 30, 2006, the US <br /> EPA found that the San Joaquin Valley had attained the PM10 standard. The US EPA <br /> based its determination. upon monitoring data demonstrating that the ambient air quality <br /> had met the requirements for attainment. The US EPA's finding does not change the <br /> District's classification as a serious PM 10 non-attainment to attainment area. However, <br /> re-designation from serious non-a Lainrnient to attainment requires add ++icnal <br /> documentation and will occur at some future date. <br /> Findings of Significance <br /> This project would contribute to the overall decline in air quality due to construction <br /> activities in preparation of the site, and ongoing traffic and other operational emissions. <br /> Based on the information provided, the District expects that the project would not exceed <br /> the District's Thresholds of Significance for ozone precursors of 10 tons per year of <br /> reactive organic-gases (ROG)'and oxides of nitrogen'(NOx). However, the increase.in <br /> emissions from this project, and others like it, cumulatively reduce the air quality in the <br /> Seyed Sadredin <br /> Executive OirectorlAir Pollution Control Officer <br /> Northern Region Central Region(Main Office) Southern Region <br /> 4800 Enterprise Way 1990 E.Gettysburg Avenue 2700 M Street,Suite 275 <br /> Modesto,CA 95356-8718 Fresno,CA 937260244 Bakersfield,CA 933012373 <br /> Tel:(209)5578400 FAX:1209)5576475 Tel:(559)2306000 FAX:(559)230-6061 Tel:(661)3266900 FAX:(661)326-6985 <br /> www.valleyair.org <br /> Pnnletl onnrydb OeWr.tt <br />
