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, curnulatively reduce the air quafity in the San Joaquin Valley. A, concerted effort should be made to reduce project-related emissions as outlined below: Based on the information provided, the proposed project will be subject to the following District rules. These 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.vallevair.org/rules/lruleslist.htm. Regulation bill (Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions)- Regulation VII? (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 or will include moving, depositing, or relocating more than 2,500 cubic yards per day of bulk materials on at least three days, a Dust Control Plan must be submitted as specified in Section 6.3.1 of Rule 8021. If a non-residential site is 1.0 to less than 5.0 acres, an owner/operator must provide written notification to the District at least 48 hours prior to his/her intent to begin any earthmoving activities (see section 6.4.2). A template of the District's Dust Control Plan is available at: http://www.vallevair.org/busind/comply/PM10/forms/DCP- Form%20-%2010-14-2004.odf.
