Mo Hatef June 13,2006 PA-0600268(SA);Delta Building Design; 13382 E Locketord Ranch Dr.;(APN 051-310-41) Page 2 Rule 4601 (Architectural Coatings) This rule limits volatile organic compounds from architectural coatings by specifying architectural coatings storage, clean up and labeling requirements. Rule 4641 (Cutback, Slow Cure, and Emulsified Asphalt, Paving and Maintenance Operations) If asphalt paving will be used, then paving operations of this project will be subject to Rule 4641. This rule applies to the manufacture and use of cutback asphalt, slow cure asphalt and emulsified asphalt for paving and maintenance operations. Rule 9510 (Indirect Source Review)This rule was adopted to reduce the impacts of growth in emissions from all new development in the San Joaquin Valley. Rule 9510 requires applicants subject to the rule to provide information that enables the District to quantify construction, area and operational PM10 and NOx emissions, and potentially mitigate a portion of those emissions. An application must be filed with the District no later than concurrent with application with a local agency for the final discretionary approval. For more information and instruction, please contact the District's ISR staff by phone at (559) 230-5800 or by email at ISRavallevair.orq. The District encourages innovation in measures to reduce air quality impacts. There are a number of features that could be incorporated into the design/operation of this project to provide additional reductions of the overall level of emissions. (Note: Some of the measures may already exist as (City)(County) development standards. Any measure selected should be implemented to the fullest extent possible.) The suggestions listed below should not be considered all-inclusive and remain options that the agency with the land-use authority should consider for incorporation into the project. • Large canopy trees should be carefully selected and located to protect the building(s) from energy consuming environmental conditions, and to shade 50% of paved areas within 15 years. Also, trees should be planted adjacent to all sidewalks thirty foot on center and at a ratio of one tree for each five parking spaces. Structural soil should be used under paved areas to improve tree growth. For information on Structural Soil see http://www.hort.cornell.edu/uhl/outreach/csc/. For information on Tree Selection see http://www.ufei.org/. For Urban Forestry see http://www.coolcommunities.org, http://wcufre.ucdavis.edu and http://www.lgc.org/bookstore/energy/downloads/siv tree quidelines.pdf. • As many energy conserving and emission reducing features as possible should be included in the project. Energy conservation measures include both energy conservation through design and operational energy conservation. Examples include (but are not limited to): - Increased energy efficiency(above California Title 24 Requirements) See http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/. - Energy efficient widows (double pane and/or Low-E), lighting, appliances, and heating and cooling systems. See htto://www.energvstar.gov/ - Programmable thermostats for all heating and cooling systems - Use Low and No-VOC coatings and paints. See South Coast's site for No-VOC Coatings at htti)://www.aqmd-gov/prdas/brochures/l)aintguide.html - High-albedo (reflecting) roofing material. See http://eetd.lbl.gov/coolroof/ - Cool Paving. "Heat islands" created by this and similar projects contribute to the reduced air quality in the valley by heating ozone precursors.

See http://www.eere.enerny.gov/consumerinfo/refbriefs/bc7.htmi - Features to promote energy self-sufficiency (solar water-heating systems, photovoltaic cells, solar thermal electricity systems, small wind turbines, etc.) Rebate and incentive programs are offered for alternative energy equipment. See http://www.dsireusa.org/, http://rredc.nrel.gov/, and http://www.energy.ca.gov/renewables/ - Install geothermal heat pump system(s) - Awnings or other shading mechanism for windows - Porch, patio and walkway overhangs - Utilize passive solar cooling and heating designs.
