Ms.Hate/ Page 5 PA-0600617(SA) Awnings or other shading mechanism for windows Electrical outlets around the exterior of the units to encourage use of electric landscape maintenance equipment More information can be found at www.ciwmb.ca.gov/GreenBuildinq/, www.lgc.org www.sustainable.doe.gov/, and www.consumerenerqvicenter.org/index.htm1. The applicant/tenant(s) should implement measures to reduce the amount of single occupancy vehicle employee traffic to and from the project area that further reduce air pollution in the valley. This could include such provisions as encouraging employees to rideshare or carpool to the project site through preferential parking spaces for employees who participate in carpooling or vanpooling, incorporating a compressed workweek schedule, guaranteed ride home, carpool matching programs, shower/changing facilities, providing free transit passes, providing an alternative-transit information center, and having a dedicated employee transportation coordinator. Check out the "Spare the Air" section of our website at www.val[eVair.org/. Construction activity mitigation measures include: Limit area subject to excavation, grading, and other construction activity at any one time Limit the hours of operation of heavy duty equipment and/or the amount of equipment in use Replace fossil-fueled equipment with electrically driven equivalents (provided they are not run via a portable generator set) Require that all diesel engines be shut off when not in use to reduce emissions from idling Curtail construction during periods of high ambient pollutant concentrations; this may include ceasing of construction activity during the peak-hour of vehicular traffic on adjacent roadways, and "Spare the Air Days" declared by the District. Implement activity management (e.g. rescheduling activities to reduce short-term impacts) During the smog season (May through October), lengthen the construction period to minimize the number of vehicles and equipment operating at the same time. Off road trucks should be equipped with on-road engines when possible. Minimize obstruction of traffic on adjacent roadways. The District encourages the applicant and fleet operators using the facility to take advantage of the District's Heavy-Duty Engine program to reduce project emissions. The Heavy Duty program provides incentives for the replacement of older diesel engines with new, cleaner, fuel-efficient diesel engines. The program also provides incentives for the re-power of older, heavy-duty trucks with cleaner diesel engines or alternative fuel engines. New alternative fuel heavy-duty trucks also qualify. For more information regarding this program contact the District at (559) 230-5858 or visit our website at www.valleyair.orq/transportation/heavVdutyidx.htm.
