San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District ;9 June 20, 1994 11 Chandler Martin 1994 San Joaquin County Community Development Department 'L4�A;!Piu a.' j til Development Services Division 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 SUBJECT: UP-94-9 - USE PERMIT APPLICATION FOR A 300-SEAT CHURCH, OFFICE AND MULTI-PURPOSE BUILDING The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD) has reviewed the project referenced above and offers the following comments: San Joaquin Valley's air quality has been designated nonattainment by the EPA and the California Air Resources Board for the following pollutants, PM70 (fine particulate matter) and 03 (ozone). The California Clean Air Act (AB2595), requires areas that are designated nonattainment to reduce emissions 5% annually until standards are met. A Negative Declaration is appropriate for this project from an air quality perspective. However, a concerted effort should be made to reduce project emissions when development occurs, as outlined below: The SJVUAPCD suggests that the project applicant take all feasible measures to reduce the amount of dust (fine particulate matter-PM10) and ozone precursors (Reactive Organic Gases (ROG), and Oxides of Nitrogen (NO2, NO.) that will result from construction of this project. Specifically, the District suggests that the following Mitigation Measures be included as part of project approval: • All material excavated, graded or otherwise disturbed should be sufficiently watered to prevent excessive amounts of dust. Watering should occur at least twice daily with complete coverage, preferably in the late morning and after work is done for the day. • All clearing, grading, earth moving, or excavation activities should cease when wind speeds are equal to or greater than 20 mph.
