San Joaquin Valley <br /> Unified Air Pollution Control District <br /> March 18, 1994 ' a, " <br /> Chandler Martin 9- 21994 <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Community Development Department <br /> 1810 East Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> SUBJECT: A MINOR SUBDIVISION APPLICATION TO CREATE AN 11-ACRE <br /> PARCEL AND A 73-ACRE REMAINDER (MS-94-9) <br /> Dear Mr. Martin: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD) has <br /> reviewed the project referenced above and offers the following comments: <br /> San Joaquin Valley's air quality has been designated nonattainment by the EPA and <br /> the California Air Resources Board for the following pollutants, PM,o (fine particulate <br /> matter) and 03 (ozone). The California Clean Air Act (AB2595), requires areas that are <br /> designated nonattainment to reduce emissions 5% annually until standards are met. <br /> If development eventually results from project approval, it will have the effect of <br /> cumulatively contributing to the degradation of air quality due to increased traffic, <br /> operation of lawn and garden equipment, and space and water heating if gas-fired <br /> appliances are used. Any increase in air emissions make it more difficult to meet <br /> mandated emissions reductions and air quality standards. <br /> A Negative Declaration is appropriate for this project from an air quality perspective. <br /> However, a concerted effort should be made to reduce project emissions when <br /> development occurs, as outlined below: <br /> The following items are rules that have been adopted by the SJVUAPCD to reduce <br /> emissions throughout the San Joaquin Valley, and are required: <br /> David L Crow <br /> Executive DirectorlAir Pollution Control Officer <br /> 1999'wWmne Sveet.Sune 200•Fresno.CA 93721•(209)4971000•FAX(209)233-2057 <br /> Northern Region Central Region Southern Region <br /> 5.!e'3t•Mweso.:A95356 1999 Tuaumm SIrW.Sune 200•r wo.CA 93]21 2100 M SIrM.Suae225•9akers*d CA 93301 <br /> 2C9+5'000•Fa. 209)515 6652 12091 49t1000•F3,(209)2334057 1805)6613682•Fax 160 51 861 4060 <br /> ®ain,eO on R�cvcietl Pepw <br />
