San Joaquin valley RECEIVED Air Pollution Control District JAN 1 8 2006 Community Development Dept, January 17, 2006 Reference No. C20060024 Cealy Lein San Joaquin County Community Development Dept. 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 Subject: PA-0500871 (GP) pre-application— 10989 N. Pearson Road, Lodi, APN 059-190-04 Dear Ms Lein: The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the project referenced above and offers the following comments: The entire San Joaquin Valley Air Basin is designated non-attainment for ozone and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5). This project would contribute to the overall decline in air quality due to increased traffic and ongoing operational emissions. Preliminary analysis indicates that this project alone would not generate significant air emissions. However, the increase in emissions from this project, and others like it, cumulatively reduce the air quality in the San Joaquin Valley. A concerted effort should be made to reduce project-related emissions as outlined below: 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 not enumerated below. 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 http://www.valleyair.org/rules/lruleslist.htm. Regulation VIII (Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions) Rules 8011-8081 are designed to reduce PM10 emissions (predominantly dust/dirt) generated by human activity, including construction and demolition activities, road construction, bulk materials storage, paved and unpaved roads, carryout and trackout, landfill operations, etc. The District's compliance assistance bulletin for construction sites can be found at http://www.valleya irorg/busind/comply/PM10/Req%20V111%20CAB.pdf. Rule 8051 (Open Areas) This rule applies to any open area having 0.5 acres or more within urban areas, or 3.0 acres or more within rural areas; and contains at least 1,000 square feet of disturbed surface area. Rule 8061 (Paved and Unpaved Roads) This rule applies to any new or existing public or private paved or unpaved road, road construction project, or road modification project. Rule 8071 (Unpaved Vehicle/Equipment Traffic Areas) This rule applies to any unpaved vehicle or equipment traffic area. If a non-residential project is 5.0 or more acres in area or will include moving, depositing, or relocating more than 2,500 cubic yards per day of bulk materials on at least three days, a Dust Control Plan must be submitted as specified in Section 6.3.1 of Rule 8021. Construction activities shall not commence until
