Ms. Lein _ January 17, 2006 PA-0500871 (GP) Page 2 the District has approved the Dust Control Plan. A template of the District's Dust Control Plan is available at http://www valleyair org/busind/comply/PM10/forms/DCP-Form%20-%2012-01-2005.doc. Rule 3135 (Dust Control Plan Fee) This rule requires the applicant to submit a fee in addition to a Dust Control Plan. The purpose of this fee is to recover the District's cost for reviewing these plans and conducting compliance inspections. More information on the fee is available at http://www valleyair.org/rules/currntrules/Rule%203135%201005.pdf. Rule 4102 (Nuisance) This rule applies to any source operation that emits or may emit air contaminants or other materials. In the event that the project or construction of the project creates a public nuisance, it could be in violation and be subject to District enforcement action. 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. 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 San Joaquin 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. • Trees should be carefully selected and located to protect the building(s) from energy consuming environmental conditions, and to shade paved areas. Trees should be selected to shade paved areas that will shade 50% of the area within 15 years. Structural soil should be used under paved areas to improve tree growth. For more information on structural soil see http://www,hort.cornell.edu/uhi/outreach/csc/. For more information on tree selection see http://www.ufei.org/. For more information on urban forestry see http://www.lgc.org/bookstore/energy/downloads/siv tree quidelines.pdf, http://www.coolcommunities.org and http://wcufre.ucdavis.edu/. • The District encourages the applicant and fleet operators using the facility to take advantage of the District's Heavy-Duty Engine program to reduce project emissions. The Heavy Duty program provides incentives for the replacement of older diesel engines with new, cleaner, fuel-efficient diesel engines. The program also provides incentives for the re-power of older, heavy-duty trucks with cleaner diesel engines or alternative fuel engines. New alternative fuel heavy-duty trucks also qualify. For more information regarding this program contact the District at (559) 230-5858 or visit our website at http://www.valleyair.org/transportation/heavydutyidx.htm. • Construction activity mitigation measures include.- Limit nclude:Limit area subject to excavation, grading, and other construction activity at any one time Limit the hours of operation of heavy duty equipment and/or the amount of equipment in use Replace fossil-fueled equipment with electrically driven equivalents (provided they are not run via a portable generator set) Apply idling time limits or require that all diesel engines be shut off when not in use on the premises to reduce emissions from idling. Curtail construction during periods of high ambient pollutant concentrations; this may include ceasing of construction activity during the peak-hour of vehicular traffic on adjacent roadways, and "Spare the Air Days"declared by the District. Implement activity management (e.g. rescheduling activities to reduce short-term impacts)
