Mr.Hatef ..�- PA-0500851 (SA) January 24,2006 Page 2 If a non-residential site is 1.0 to less than 5.0 acres, an owner/operator must provide written notification to the District at least 48 hours prior to his/her intent to begin any earthmoving activities as specified in Section 6.4.2 of Rule 8021. A template of the District's Construction Notification Form is available at http://www.valleyair.org/busind/comply/PM10/forms/Notification%20Form%20Fina1%2012 01 2005 doc. Rule 4102 (Nuisance) 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) limits volatile organic compounds from architectural coatings. This rule specifies 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. Rule 9510 (Indirect Source Review) This rule requires the applicants of certain development projects to submit an application to the District when applying for the development's last discretionary approval. The rule requires developers to mitigate emissions at the project site to mitigate emissions at the project site to the extent feasible and to pay a mitigation fee to the District for a percentage of the remaining emissions. The ISR rule becomes effective March 1st, 2006. Projects that have not received a final discretionary approval by March 1, 2006 must submit an ISR application by March 31, 2006. 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 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: • Trees should be carefully selected and located to protect the building 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 Structural Soil see http://www.hort.cornell.edu/uhi/outreach/csc/. For Tree Selection see http://www.ufei.org/. For Urban Forestry see http://www.coolcommunities.org, http://wcufre.ucdavis.edu and http://www.lgc.org/bookstore/energy/downloads/siv treeguidelines.pdf. • If transit service is available to the project site, improvements should be made to encourage its use. If transit service is not currently available, but is planned for the area in the future, easements should be reserved to provide for future improvements such as bus turnouts, loading areas, route signs and shade structures. Appropriations made to facilitate public or mass transit will help mitigate trips generated by the project. • 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, heating and cooling systems, and programmable thermostats. See http://www.energystar.gov/ - Use Low and No-VOC coatings and paints. See South Coast's site for No-VOC Coatings at http://www.agmd.gov/prdas/brochures/paintguide.html - High-albedo (reflecting) roofing material. See http://eetd.Ibi.gov/coolroof/
