Mo Hatef August 16, 2006 PA-0600432(SU) Page 2 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. Rule 4901 (Wood Burning Fireplaces and Wood Burning Heaters) This rule limits PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from residential development. Construction plans for residential developments may be affected by section 5.3, specifically: 5.3.1 — No person shall install a wood burning fireplace in a new residential development with a density greater than two (2) dwelling units per acre. 5.3.2 — No person shall install more than two (2) EPA Phase II Certified wood burning heaters per acre in any new residential development with a density equal to or greater than three (3) dwelling units per acre. 5.3.3 — No person shall install more than one (1) wood burning fireplace or wood burning heater per dwelling unit in any new residential development with a density equal to or less than two (2) dwelling units per acre. More information about Rule 4901 can be found on our website at www,vallevair.org. For compliance assistance, please contact Mr. Wayne Clarke, Air Quality Compliance Manager, at (559) 230-5968. Rule 9510 (Indirect Source Review) This rule was adopted to reduce the impacts of growth in emissions from all new development in the San Joaquin Valley. Rule 9510 requires applicants subject to the rule to provide information that enables the District to quantify construction, area and operational PM10 and NOx emissions, and potentially mitigate a portion of those emissions. An application must be filed with the District no later than concurrent with application with a local agency for the final discretionary approval. For more information-and instruction, please contact the District's ISR staff by phone at (559) 230-5800 or by email at ISRCcDvalleyair.org. 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. 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. • Large canopy trees should be carefully selected and located to protect the building(s) from energy consuming environmental conditions, and to shade 50% of paved areas within 15 years. Also, trees should be planted adjacent to all sidewalks thirty foot on center and at a ratio of one tree for each five parking spaces. Structural soil should be used under paved areas to improve tree growth. For information on Structural Soil see http://www.hort.cornell.edu/uhi/outreach/csc/. For information on Tree Selection see http://www.ufei.org . For Urban Forestry see http://www.coolcommunities.orq/, http://wcufre.ucdavis.edu/ and http://www.Igc.org/bookstore/energy/downloads/sjv treeguidelines.pdf. • As many energy conserving and emission reducing features as possible should be included in the project. Energy conservation measures include both energy conservation through design and operational energy conservation. Examples include (but are not limited to): - Increased energy efficiency (above California Title 24 Requirements) See http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/. - Energy efficient widows (double pane and/or Low-E), lighting, appliances, and heating and cooling systems. See http://www.energystar.gov/ Programmable thermostats for all heating and cooling systems Use Low and No-VOC coatings and paints.
