Ms.Allen _ -� August 31,2005 PA-0500543 (SA) Page 2 concerning asbestos related requirements, please contact Mr. Brian Dodds of this office at (559) 230- 5962, or contact CAL-OSHA at (559) 454-1295. An Asbestos Requirements Bulletin has been enclosed for the applicant. Rule 4102 (Nuisance) applies to any source operation that emits or may emit air contaminants or other materials. In the event that the project or construction of the project creates a public nuisance, it could be in violation and be subject to District enforcement action. Rule 4601 (Architectural Coatings) limits volatile organic compounds from architectural coatings. This rule specifies architectural coatings storage, clean up and labeling requirements. 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 4901 (Wood Burning Fireplaces and Wood Burning Heaters) limits PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from residential development. Construction plans for residential developments may be affected by section 5.3, specifically: §5.3 Limitations on Wood Burning Fireplaces or Wood Burning Heaters in New Residential Developments. Beginning January 1,2004, 5.3.1 No person shall install a wood burning fireplace in a new residential development with a density greater than two(2)dwelling units per acre. 5.3.2 No person shall install more than two (2) EPA Phase II Certified wood burning heaters per acre in any new residential development with a density equal to or greater than three (3) dwelling units per acre. 5.3.3 No person shall install more than one (1) wood burning fireplace or wood burning heater per dwelling unit in any new residential development with a density equal to or less than two (2)dwelling units per acre. More information about Rule 4901 can be found on our website at www.valleyair.org. For compliance assistance, please contact Mr. Wayne Clarke, Air Quality Compliance Manager, at (559)230-5968. Rule 4902 (Residential Water Heaters) limits emissions of NOx from residential developments. 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: • Trees should be carefully selected and located to protect the building(s) 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. Structural soil should be used under paved areas to improve tree growth. For Structural Soil see hftl)://www.hort.cornell.edu/uhi/outreach/csc/. For Tree Selection see http://www.ufei.org/. For Urban Forestry see http://www.coolcommunities.org, http://wcufre.ucdavis.edu and http://www.lac.org/bookstore/enerav/downloads/siv treeguidelines.pdf. • If transit service is available to the project site, improvements should be made to encourage its use. If transit service is not currently available, but is planned for the area in the future, easements should be reserved to provide for future improvements such as bus turnouts, loading areas, route signs and shade structures. Appropriations made to facilitate public or mass transit will help mitigate trips generated by the project. • Sidewalks and bikeways should be installed throughout as much of the project as possible and should be connected to any nearby existing and planned open space areas, parks, schools, residential areas,
