Mr Swanson February 9, 2006 PR-0600020(UP) Page 2 Rule 4162 (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. • Large canopy shade trees should be carefully selected and located to protect the building from energy consuming environmental conditions, and to shade 50% of paved areas within 15 years. Also, trees shou)d be planted 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.orq/. For Urban Forestry see htttp://www.lgc.org/bookstore/energy/downloads/siv tree guidelinlines pdf, httpItwww,coolcommunities.org, and http://wcufre.ucdavis.edu. • 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 ht_tp://www,energy.ca.gov/title24/. Energy efficient widows (double pane and/or Law-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:/Iwww.agmd.4ov/prdas/brochures/paintguide.htmi - High-albedo (reflecting) roofing material. See http://eetd.lbl.gov/coolroof/ - Shading mechanism for windows, and porch, patio and walkway overhangs Utilize daylighting (natural lighting) systems such as skylights, light shelves, interior transom windows etc. See.http://ww-w-adva cedbuildings.org Exits to adjoining streets should be designed to reduce time to re-enter traffic from the project site - More information can be found at: http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/GreenBuildinq/, htt :l/www./ c.or , http://www.sustainable.doe.gov/ and http://www.consumerenergycenter.orq/index.htmI • 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.htrn. • Construction activity mitigation measures include: Limit area subject to excavation, grading, and other construction activity at any one time
