SJVUAPCD <br /> SU-91-12 <br /> AUGUST 28 , 1992 <br /> PAGE 2 <br /> 4. As a standard recommendation for residential <br /> projects, the District recommends the installation of EPA <br /> certified fireplace inserts or woodstoves if the burning <br /> of wood takes place. Carbon Monoxide and fine <br /> particulate matter (PM-10) are criteria pollutants which <br /> are of serious concern to the District. The new EPA <br /> certified fireplace inserts have been shown in laboratory <br /> with emissions of particulate matter ranging from 70% to <br /> 90 -% less than conventional stoves. Installation of EPA <br /> certified fireplace inserts and stoves is recommended as <br /> a mitigation measure for Carbon Monoxide and PM-10. <br /> Potential benefits arising out of these apparatus can be <br /> reduced fuel cost and better heating efficiency. <br /> The District appreciates the opportunity to comment. If <br /> you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact <br /> David Kwong at (209) 468-2327. <br /> Robert C.
