San Joaquin Valley <br /> Air Pollution Control District RECIEVED <br /> NOV 2006 N O V 1 0 2006 <br /> Community Development Dept. <br /> Karla Kuhl <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Community Development Department <br /> Development Services Division <br /> 1810 East Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> Project: PA-0600037 (GP) and PA-0600552 (ZR) <br /> Subject: CEQA comments regarding the General Pian Map Amendment and Rezone <br /> for an 11.40 acre parcel located at 11293 S. Manthey Rd. in Lathrop <br /> District Reference No: C200602273 <br /> Dear Ms. Kuhl: <br /> i <br /> The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the <br /> project referenced above and offers the following comments: <br /> II <br /> Findings of,-Significance, '' <br /> V _. <br /> The Ontiro'-San- Joaquin Valley Air Basin is designated non attainment for ozone and <br /> particulate matter (PM 10 and PM2.5). The plan amendment and'zone change, by <br /> themselves, will not have an impact on airs quality; however, the future development of <br /> the property would contribute to the overall decline in air quality due to construction <br /> activities in preparation of the site, and ongoing traffic and other operational emissions. <br /> Based on the size of the project area and the uses being considered (fueling station, <br /> fast food facility, strip mall, and motel), the District expects the development would <br /> exceed the District's thresholds of significance for ozone precursors of 10 tons per year <br /> of.reactive organic gases (ROG) and-oxAeIs of nitrogen (NOx), <br /> i <br /> The District recommends the preparation of an Air Quality Impact Assessment (AQIA) to <br /> quantify the emissions. The District recomlmends using the URBEMIS 2002 Version 8.7 <br /> program to calculate project area -and operational emissions and to identify mitigation <br /> measures that reduce impacts. URBEMIS'�can be downloaded from www.urbemis.com/ <br /> or the South Coast Air Quality Management District's website at www.agmd.gov/ <br /> ceaarbe_rnis.html.. If the preliminary ana <br /> /.u, lysis indicates that the project exceeds the <br />` District's Thresholds of Significance 'forl ozone precursors (10 tans/year of either <br /> Ri*tive' Organic Gases_ or Oxides of Nitrogen), then the District recommends the <br /> Seyed Sadredin <br /> Executive Director/Air Pollution Controf Officer <br /> I <br /> Northern.Region Off'(ce Central Region Office Southern Region Office <br /> 4800 Enterprise Way 1990'East Cettyshurg Avenue- - 2700 M,Street,Sdiie 275 <br /> Modesto,CA 95356-8718 Fresno,ICA 93726.0244 Bakersfield,CA 93301-2373 <br /> (209)557-6400 • FAX(209)557-6475 (559)230-6000 • FAX(559)230-6061 (661)326-6900 • FAX(661)326-6985 <br /> www.valleyair.org <br />
