District Rule 4901 - Residential Wood Burning regulates the sale, installation <br /> and transfer of wood burning devices, and establishes a public education <br /> and voluntary wood burning curtailment program intended to reduce <br /> emissions of carbon monoxide and PM10. A copy of the rule is enclosed. <br /> 2. District Rule 4902 - Residential Water Heaters regulates the sale and <br /> installation of natural gas-fired water heaters to limit the emissions of oxides <br /> of nitrogen. A copy of the rule is enclosed. <br /> 3. District Regulation VIII - Fugitive Dust Rules is a series of rules designed to <br /> reduce PM10 emissions generated by human activity, including construction, <br /> road building, bulk materials storage, landfill operations, etc. <br /> The following items are suggested, but not required by the SJVUAPCD to further <br /> reduce emissions that may ultimately result from development enabled by this <br /> project application. The applicant should be provided a copy of these measures <br /> and encouraged to incorporate those that are feasible into the overall project <br /> design: <br /> 1 . Housing units should be oriented to utilize passive solar cooling and heating <br /> to the fullest extent possible. <br /> 2. Conventional open-hearth fireplaces and zero clearance fireplaces that do not <br /> meet EPA Phase II certification should be discouraged. <br /> 3. Trees should be carefully selected and located to shade the structures during <br /> the hot summer months. This measure should be implemented on whatever <br /> portion of the site (front, back, or side yard) has a southern or western <br /> exposure. Deciduous trees should be considered since they provide shade in <br /> the summer and allow the sun to reach the house during cold winter <br /> months. <br /> 4. Natural gas lines (if applicable) and electrical outlets should be installed in <br /> backyards or patios to encourage use of gas and/or electric barbecues. <br /> 5. Electrical outlets should be installed around the exterior of the units to <br /> ` encourage use of electric lawn mowers, edgers, etc. <br /> District staff is available to meet with you and/or the applicant to further discuss <br />
