• Reactive Organic Gases (ROG): 10 tonslyear (55 lbs/day); • Oxides of Nitrogen (NOJ: 10 tons/year (55 lbs/day); and :k „ Fine Particulate Matter (PM,o): 15 tons/year (82 lbs/day). In accordance with the CCAA, the SJVUAPCD has adopted a New Source Review (NSR) �I r rule for the purpose of achieving a "no net increase in emissions from [District-permitted] sources." Any permitted, non-exempt source with a calculated pollutant emissions ;I exceeding established NSR thresholds are required to provide offsets in accordance with the requirements of the SJVUAPCD. The following thresholds are used for determining ;) offset requirements for new sources (Gormley, 1997): • Oxides of Sulfur (SO),): 150 pounds/day; • Carbon Monoxide (CO) in attainment areas: 550 pounds/day F • ; 1 Fine Particulate Matter (PM,o): 80 pounds/day; ;l Oxides of Nitrogen (NO.): 10 tonslyear (55 lbs/day); and 'I ! Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): 10 tons/year (55 lbs/day). ` �I In addition to quantitative impact analysis, qualitative'analysis is appropriate if a project's air quality impacts cannot be evaluated quantitatively. Qualitative thresholds should be a used as screening criteria to indicate the need for further analysis involving other air quality l issues such as hazardous and toxic emissions. Qualitative emission thresholds are applied primarily toward long-term emissions during the project's operational phase rather than short-term construction-related emissions. The SJVUAPCD recommends the use of I the following qualitative emission thresholds, based on: ii Potential to create or be near an objectionable odor; 1 . Potential for accidental release of air toxic emissions or acutely hazardous' materials; I Potential to emit an air toxic contaminant regulated by the District or on a M federal or state air toxic list; ` Burning of hazardous, medical, or municipal waste as waste-to-energy facilities; • Potential to produce a substantial amount of wastewater or potential for toxic i discharge; i �- Draft Environmental Impact Report 4-69 ER-96-3 l
