Mr. Griffin August 18, 2005 PA-05001481 (SA) Page 2 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. if the proposed parking area will be unpaved, the surface must be stabilized as per Rule 8071, Unpaved Vehicle/Equipment Traffic Areas. 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 City 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 land-use authority should consider: • As many energy-conserving features as possible should be included in the project. Energy conservation measures include both energy conservation through design and operational energy conservation. Examples include (but are not limited to): Increased energy efficiency(above California Title 24 Requirements) See litto://www.enerqv.ca.gov/tit.l.e24./. Energy efficient widows (double pane and/or Low-E) Use Low and No-VOC coatings and paints. See South Coast's site for No-VOC Coatings at http://www.aqmd,gov/business/brochures/zerovoc.html High-albedo (reflecting) roofing material. See http://eetd.1bl.gov/coolroof/ Cool Paving. "Heat islands"created by this and similar projects contribute to the reduced air quality in the valley by heating ozone precursors. See http //www:haic.edulharc/Projects/Cool_Houston/ , http://eande.lbl.gov/heatisland/ Radiant heat barrier. See http://vww.eere.energy.gov/consumerinfo/refbriefs/bc7.html Energy efficient lighting, heating and cooling systems. See http:/iwww.energystar.gov/ Install photovoltaic cells Programmable thermostat(s)for all heating and cooling systems Awnings or other shading mechanism for windows, walkways, overhangs Ceiling fans Utilize passive solar cooling and heating designs. (e.g. natural convection, thermal flywheels) See _http:i/www.eere.energy.govJRE/solar�assive_html Utilize daylighting (natural lighting) systems such as skylights See http://www.advancedbuildings.or_q • The project should include as many clean alternative energy features as possible to promote energy lire•l-�dC arcs Ct limifod to - nl rNt. !C)Itair Sed@r fh;arma! p!ectrlCifv systems, small wind turbines, etc. Rebate and incentive programs are offered for alternative energy equipment. More information can found at http 1/www_(Jsireusa.org", http-//rredc.nrel.ctov.�, http:l/www.energy.ca.gov/renewabiesl • The applicant/tenant(s) should require that all diesel engines be shut off when not in use on the premises to reduce emissions from idling. • Construction activity mitigation measures include: Install sandbags or other erosion control measures to prevent silt runoff to public roadways from sites with a slope greater than one percent. - 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). 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).
