J11 San Joaquin Valley Fra RP, FiY FD Air Pollution Control District C0mm0 12006 niYDevelollmelvDept January 30, 2006 Reference No. 020060107 Kathy Allen San Joaquin County Community Development Dept. 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 Subject: PA-0500840(SA)—2900 E Loomis Road, Stockton—APN 179-100-04 Dear Ms. Allen: The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the project referenced above and we suggest that a Negative Declaration would be appropriate in addressing air quality related issues. Based on the size of the project, an 1,800 square foot office building in Phase I and a 3,600 square foot warehouse for grocery storage in Phase 2, the project will emit less than the District's project level thresholds of significance for ozone precursors of 10 tons per year of reactive organic gases (ROG) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). With the implementation of the District's new Rule 9510 (Indirect Source Review) on March 1, 2006, the cumulative air quality impacts of this project and others like it will be reduced to a level that does not impact District attainment plans for ozone and PM10. We also offer the following comments: 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 htti)://www.valleyair.org/rules/1 ruleslist.htm. Rules and Regulations Regulation VIII (Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions) Regulation VIII (Rules 8011-8081)is a series of rules designed to reduce PM10 emissions(predominantly dust1dirt)generated by human activity, including construction and demolition activities, road construction, bulk materials storage, paved and unpaved roads, carryout and track out, etc. The District's compliance assistance bulletin for construction sites can be found at: http://www.valleyair.orq/busind/comply/PM10/Req%20VIII°/u20CAB.pdf 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 as specified in Section 6.4.2 of Rule 8021.
