RECEIVED San Joaquin Valley iA N 2 5 2006 Air Pollution Control District Community Development Dept. January 24, 2006 Reference No. C200501902 Mo Hatef San Joaquin County Community Development Dept, 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 Subject: PA-0500851 (SA)—2300 N. Teepee Drive, Stockton —APN 132-080-11 Dear Mr. Hatef, 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/1 ruleslist.htm. ATC Permitting - The submitted project does not specify the purpose of the building, but it states that it will house at least two tenants. Potential tenants may be subject to the permitting requirements of the District and may require a Permit to Operate (PTO). Any equipment subject to the District's PTO requirements must obtain an Authority to Construct (ATC) from the District. Construction of equipment, which requires an ATC, and intimately related appurtenances such as foundations and utility hookups for the equipment, cannot begin until an ATC is obtained. Construction of equipment not requiring a District permit is not subject to this ATC requirement. Depending upon the nature and complexity of the application and staff workload, ATC approval can take several months. To avoid unnecessary delays in the project, applications should be submitted to the District as soon as the tenants are identified. For further information, the applicant should contact the District's Small Business Assistance Office at (209) 557-6446 or our Permit Services Section at (209) 557-6400. 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.valleyair.org/busind/comply/PM10/Req%20V111%20CAB pdf.
