3; r Mr. Swanson December 16,2005 ,f s PA-0400776 U Page 2 ' Rule 4002 (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants) In the event that,any portion of an existing building will be renovated, partially demolished or removed, the project will be subject to District Rule 4002. Prior to any demolition activity, an asbestos survey of existing structures on the-project site may be required to identify the presence of any'asbestos containing buiidirig material (ACBM). Any identified ACBM having the potential for disturbance must'iie.removed.by a certified asbestos contractor in accordance with, -CAL-OSHA requirements. If you.?have,any questions -,concerning.,asbestos.related requirements, ,please contact' Ms Jan Sudomier at;(209) 557-6422 or; contact CAL-6: ` A at (559) 464-1295 The District's s; Asbestos Requirements'Bulletin can tie found at`htttp llvalleyair orglbusiradlcon Rlvlastiestosbialtr► htfn Rule 4102.(Nuisance)'This rola applies to any source operation that emits or may emit air contaminants or, other materials..-0t the event that'the.project;or construction of the'project-creates:a'pub,lic nuisance;-it could ` be in violation and be subject to District enforcement action Rule 4601 (Architectural,Coatings) This rule.

Rule 4641 (Cutback, Slow Cure, and Emulsified Asphalt, Paving and .Maintenance Operations) if asphalt " paving will.be,used,.then paving operations of this project will be subject to Rule:4641. This-rule applies to the manufacture and use, of cutback asphalt; .slow cure asphalt and emulsified -asphalt 'for paving and maintenance operations. Rule 4702 (internal Combustion Engines— Phase 2)This rule applies to any internal combustion engine with a rated .brake horsepower greater than 50 horsepower(for example, a standby generator fueled by diesel). <If. a generator of 50-brake hp or more is installed,.this project will be subject to .the permitting requirements of the District. Any equipment subject to the District's Permit to Operate requirements must obtain an Authority to Construct (ATC) from the District. .Construction of equipment that requires an ATC, and intimately related appurtenances such foundations and 'utility hookups for the equipment', cannot begin until an ATC is obtained. Construction of equipment not requiring a District permit is not subject to this ATC requirement. Depending upon the nature and complexity of the application and staff workload, ATC his can take several months. i For further information, the applicant should contact the District's Small Business Assistance Office at (559) i 230-5888, or our Permit Services Section at (559) 230-5900. To avoid unnecessary delays in the project, applications should be submitted to the District as soon as the project developer has determined the scope of ! the project. The District encourages innovation in measures to reduce air quality impacts. There are a number of features that could be incorporated into the design/operation of this project to provide additional reductions of the overall level of emissions. (Note: Some of the measures may already exist as County development standards. Any measure selected should be implemented to the fullest extent possible.) The suggestions listed below should not be considered all-inclusive and remain options that the agency with the land-use authority should consider for f. incorporation into the project. • Trees should be carefully selected and located to protect the buildings from energy consuming environmental conditions, and to shade paved areas. Trees should be selected to shade paved areas that will shade 50% of { , the area within 15 years. Also, large canopy shade trees should be planted adjacent to all sidewalks thirty foot on center and at a ratio of one tree for each five parking spaces. Structural soil should be used under paved areas to improve tree growth. For more information on structural . soil see. http:llwww.hort.cornell.edu/uhi/outreach/csc/. For more information on tree selection see http:/Iwww.ufei.org/. t For more information on urban forestry see httQl/wcufre.ucdavis.edul, http://www.coolcommunities.or.q/ and http://www.lgc.org/bookstore/energy/downloads/sjv tree ouidelines.pdf. • The applicantltenant 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 j transportation coordinator.

The Heavy Duty program provides incentives for
