TIi <br /> he 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 /> �I <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 Vlll (Fugitive Dust Prohibitions). The purpose of <br /> Regulation Vlll is to reduce the amount of fine particulate matter (PM-10) entrained into <br /> the ambient air,from man-made sources. <br /> Ra <br /> the revisions becoming effective May 0921aThe applicant mayVI I hasl revised,been with <br /> review these <br /> changes on they 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).
