San Joaquin Valley <br /> Air Pollution Control District AUG <br /> August 12, 2002 <br /> Leanne Mueller <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Community Development Department <br /> Development Services Division <br /> 1810 East Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> SUBJECT: PA-0200298 Bes Concrete <br /> Dear Ms Mueller: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the above <br /> referenced project and offers the following comments: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley's air quality has been designated nonattainment by the EPA <br /> and by the Air Resources Board (ARB) for 03 (ozone) and PM-10(fine particulate <br /> matter, dust). The Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) and the California Clean Air Act require <br /> areas that are designated nonattainment to reduce emissions until standards are met. <br /> Based on the information provided, it appears that the proposed project will have a less- <br /> than-significant impact on the ambient air quality. However, the construction phase of <br /> this project can generate emissions from the movement of soil, use of heavy equipment, <br /> bulk materials handling, asphalt paving and other related activities. As a result, this <br /> project is subject to District Regulation VIII (Fugitive Dust Prohibitions). The purpose of <br /> Regulation VIII is to reduce the amount of fine particulate matter (PM-10) entrained into <br /> the ambient air from man-made sources. Regulation VII has recently been revised, with <br /> the revisions becoming effective May 15, 2002. The applicant may review these <br /> changes on the District web site at www.valleyair.org. <br /> Additionally, if the project site contains any buildings needing demolition the applicant <br /> will need to be in compliance with the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air <br /> pollutants (NESHAPS). Specifically, the primary air pollutant of concern is asbestos. <br /> To ascertain whether this project is subject to NESHAPS, the project applicant is <br /> advised to review the enclosed Asbestos— Compliance Assistance Bulletin, dated <br /> December 1994. Leaf Sexton is the Northern Region's District contact for the program <br /> and is available should you need further assistance. <br /> David L.
