"ECE/VED OCT 1 3 2005 San Joaquin Valley CommunitypevelWnentDept. Air Pollution Control District October 10, 2005 Reference No. 0200501287 Rick Griffin San Joaquin County Community Development Dept. Development Services Division 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 Subject: PA-0500647 (SA) APN: 198-030-11 Calaveras Materials Inc. (Batch Plant) Dear Mr. Griffin: The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District(District)has reviewed the project referenced above and offers the following comments: The entire San Joaquin Valley Air Basin is designated non-attainment for ozone and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5). This project would contribute to the overall decline in air quality due to increased traffic and ongoing operational emissions. Preliminary analysis indicates that this project alone would not generate significant air emissions. However, the increase in emissions from this project, and others like it, cumulatively reduce the air quality in the San Joaquin Valley. A concerted effort should be made to reduce project-related emissions as outlined below: This project(District facility ID#N-943)will be subject to the permitting requirements of the District and require a Permit to Operate(PTO). Any equipment subject to the District's PTO requirements must obtain an Authority to Construct(ATC)from the District. An Authority to Construct(ATC) is needed before commencing construction. Construction of equipment, which 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. Upon completion of the construction phase, District staff will undertake an initial inspection to ensure compliance with specifications in the Authority To Construct(ATC)before a Permit To Operate (PTO)is issued. The PTO signifies that the applicant has met Air District permit requirements. The land use authority rests with the County of San Joaquin. For further information regarding ATC's or District permitting processes, please contact the District's Small Business Assistance Office at(209) 557-6446, or our Permit Services Section at(559)230-5900. Based on the information provided, the proposed project will be subject to the following District rules. The following items are rules that have been adopted by the District to reduce emissions throughout the San Joaquin Valley, and are required. This project may be subject to additional District Rules. To identify additional rules or regulations that apply to this project, or for further information, the applicant is strongly encouraged to contact the District's Small Business Assistance Office at(209)557-6446. Current District rules can be found at http://www.valleyair.org/rules/1 ruleslist htm. Regulation VIII (Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions)- Regulation VIII (Rules 8011-8081) is a series of rules designed to reduce PM10 emissions (predominantly dust/dirt)generated by human activity, including construction, road construction, bulk materials storage, landfill operations, etc. If a non-residential project is 5.0 or more acres in area, a Dust Control Plan must be submitted as specified in Section 6.3.1 of Rule 8021. The District's Dust Control Plan template is available at: http://www.valleyair.orglbusind/comply/PM10/forms/DCP-Form°/20-°/2010-14-2004 odf
