`s � San Joaquin Valley - Air Pollution Control District JUL 2 5 9003 July 23, 2003 20030358 Jennifer Jolley San Joaquin County Community Development Department Development Services Division 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 Subject: PA-0300303 (SA) Dear Ms. Jolley: The Central office will be commenting for Mr. John Cadrett (of the North office) during his vacation. Mr. Cadrett will return from vacation on July 29, 2003. Stanislaus County should continue to send notices and requests for comments to the District's North Office. Please address CEQA related requests to Mr. John Cadrett at San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, Northern Region Office, 4230 Kiernan Avenue, Suite 130, Modesto, CA 95356-9322. The entire San Joaquin Valley is non-attainment for ozone and fine particulate matter (PM10). This project would contribute to the overall decline in air quality due to increased traffic and ongoing operational emissions. Although this project alone would not generate significant air emissions, the increase in emissions from this project, and others like it, cumulatively reduce the air quality in the San Joaquin Valley. The project would make it more difficult to meet mandated emission reductions and air quality standards. A concerted effort should be made to reduce project-related emissions as outlined below: • The construction phase of this project will be subject to certain aspects of District Regulation VIII. District Regulation VIII - Fugitive Dust Rules is a series of rules designed to reduce PM10 emissions generated by human activity, including construction, road building, bulk materials storage, landfill operations, etc. An assistance bulletin has been enclosed for the applicant. • Paving operations of this project will be subject to Rule 4641(Cutback, Slow Cure, and Emulsified Asphalt, Paving and Maintenance Operations). This rule applies to the manufacture and use of cutback asphalt, slow cure asphalt and emulsified asphalt for paving and maintenance operations. • If a generator of 50 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 as 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 Dx.�d L. C w.
